Wetlook World Forum

I try not to speculate about possible reasons for it having to go private; I worry enough (at least on a bad day) about what I myself get up to making my own collection!   I don't think I would be motivated to continue if my collection had to be private; since I have just said that I'm going to take fewer photos and not link to the Forum directly, I find I'm already losing motivation.....

The same with the "anonymous" thing; I would find it a lot less motivating if people didn't know it was the same person doing the things I do.    I can't understand what all these "Anonymous" people posting youtube links get out of it - I would want to say "hey look its me again".   I don't think they even get nearly as many views, since it feels a bit too much like a pig-in-a-poke; irrational, maybe, but there is certainly a dearth of positive comments on the anonymous postings.   And I opened and replied to this post only after I had dealt with a later one by a known nickname, just sort of instinctively.      

The down side of having a consistent nick is obviously that people can link up your various posts and point to what they see as double standards, as is happening at the moment, but I can't remember ever happening before.    And most people automatically assume that if you're posting anonymously its because you've got something to hide, or are (or intend to be) up to some disruptive activity, so you're probably worse off in terms of esteem doing a 'good' post anonymously than if you had a consistent nick whilst sometimes annoying people.     So no, I don't 'hate' anonymous postings, I'm just a bit puzzled by them.....
