I don't get it!!!!

I have mentioned this topic before in my blog, (see third entry) and it seems that if you folks looked at it you don't care. I have noticed a very bad trend when it comes to TSR in general. Less than 10% thank you on an item. And to be honest I really don't understand what the problem might be. Ok I know of a couple, one is that some folks here are upset that TSR got rid of the number rating system, which I was never a big fan of. The other reason I have heard is that folks think if they download your creations there is no need for anymore. I have also hear that some people believe the new system is just too �hard� to figure out. But to be honest I believe it's more than that. I might be wrong, and I hope some folks let me know I am, but I think folks just don't care. First off Thanking a creation couldn't be easier. It's a simple link under the download button. Second if you won't click thank you because you like number rating better, get over it. I am glad it's gone because it causes a lot of hard feeling and it allows folks to rate hate someone. Third if you believe all you have to do is download, then your just lazy. Try clicking a link and see how good it makes you feel. Now I can't make folks do this, because if I could I would. What some of you don't understand, is that it takes time to create things. Time most of us could be playing instead, and then where would TSR be? So we take the time and try to make the best things we can for all of you to enjoy, and all we ask for is a little recognition. Of course we would also like comments that let us know you really liked it, but a simple thank you goes a long way!!!!! So next time you download from any artist here at TSR, remember to at least click the thank you button. We will all appreciate it, trust me.

I wouldn't say it bothered me but I do also find it a bit strange - I personally say thanks for everything I download and even for a few I don't... If I see something really good that merits a thank you but I don't necessarily want it in my game I comment and thank anyway.

You know the thing is, this is a sims wide problem. I don't get more thank yous at MTS2 than I do here. I get anywhere from 3-6% thank yous over there. It used to make me mad, now I have decided that I do this for me, and me alone. If people want to thank me that is always appreciated. But if they don't oh well. I cannot make them or guilt them into it.

I totally agree as you can see below, from the post I added to the feedback & thankyous thread in April.
Its such a pity that there are so many ungrateful abusers of the downloads, this ingratitude usually ends with it spoiling things for those of us that do take the effort.:-(

2/3 Feedback & Thank you's
Hope I'm posting in right place, this is my first ever so please forgive me if this should be somewhere else.
Just wanted to say to all the artists/designers and all at TSR how much I enjoy the system, I can get a bit stuck for new ways to say thank you in a comment (prob cos I download so much lol), but I do try to relay how pleased I am with my newest download as well as click on the thank you as I think everyone should, it only takes a couple of seconds (minutes for some of us lol), but considering the amount of time spent by those creating these fantastic items for our enjoyment its time very well spent.
I have yet to understand why some peop

I completely agree. Considering the time we make creating, clicking on the "Thank you" button isn't too much to ask. But, apparently, a good portion of the downloaders at TSR are LAZY and ungrateful and figure that we should make this stuff for them, and golly, they had to download it, isn't that enough? Some good creators have disppeared from the land of Sim. I wonder, if people had taken the time to let them know their work was appreciated, would they still be around? I'm getting close to taking a break soon, and most of the reason is that I'm just tired of this atittude that I'm supposed to gratefully create for the masses of which the majority can't go to all that time and effort to click that BIG HUGE HORRIBLY COMPLEX button.
