HI DOLers,
How are you doing on this charming Friday?
I've been writing in this place since I came to Interland over 2 years ago now. Corny as it sounds, this always feels like my Interland home.
I've always particularly loved the way DOL has run and how its a place not just of showing writing, artwork, photography, music etc, but more that it was a place of sharing of ideas and somewhere with A LOT of give as well as take.
Personally, I much prefer to read other people's threads, comment on them, reply and interact within that thread, then share some of my own in the hopes that perhaps someone out there may care to read it and get something from it. Thats a big part of why we post here, right?
I also think that we need to accept and remember that there are many different ideas, styles and ways of sharing. One person's art is another person's newspaper around the chips.
I love that in this place, people give each other feedback and continue the threads along, often times turning into discussions.
I admit, I don't like it when I see threads with no replies. I think it really comes down to give and take in this place.
Yeah, its just a message board. But this is a part of Interland that has been working in a way for a long time now and its great to get new blood in here, but it is a part of a message board that a lot of people love and have respect for.
Yes, I admit I have respect for this forum because what is in here is what comes from deep within people and many of us are here putting ourselves on the line, sharing whats inside us.
Many other board members make think what we write in here is crap, boring, pretentious or far too serious. But who gives?
For the people that are a part of Dream Out Loud, its a special place and I personally am proud to be a part of it.
You may wonder why I'm saying all this. I just would like, as a regular of DOL, that this be a place of give and take and that we don't forget why we write, or share here.
p.s. i didnt start this thread to get negative vibes coming out either kids. i want happy (but of course miserable deep down hehehe) DOLers
