Clichéd. Options

After attempting all sixty-one pages of this forum, it's not surprising to say that only a handful of compositions are skillfully written – and all written by the same few writers. It's not surprising, at least not to me, that the average thread in this forum receives only a few replies, at best; it's not surprising that the mindless drivel fools like to call "raps" receive pages of feedback, while a well thought out piece is overlooked and is lucky if it even gets two replies. But then again, said pieces are rare – hard to find among pages of other sorts of nonsense: finding love, complaining about life, losing love, expressing sadness and depression, dying for love – it's all so common. It's not a wonder that this forum is underappreciated – it seems that nearly all of its authors don't understand what true writing is: you children flock to the forum to post up all of your most recent chicken scratch. Is there any meaning behind your words? Any emotion? Any significance at all? And is there anything that sets it apart from everything else? No, of course not. That's why people disregard this forum. Everything's banal; it's all clichéd.

Yeah, it's different from other shit I've written. HM, I wonder why.

In order to become an "official" member of cB, a person is required to maintain an average of 5 posts per day. If the majority of those posts were required to demonstrate the "art of writing," cB would no longer exist. The nature of cB is contrary to the recognition and creation of thoughtful and articulate posts. Henceforth, the writing forum is woefully neglected and infrequently visited.

If this thread could reach into digital art with a collaborative contest, it might help draw some talented artisans who may be gifted writers.

A promotion to the community center subforums might also help.

Extra posting credit for contributions that meet a set of established guidelines may generate more interest in this forum as well.

By no means am I asking everyone to demonstrate the art of writing - it would just be nice if people would visit the subforum once in a while or put a little thought into what they post here. I mean, I love writing and I hate for this subforum to go to waste; I love this subforum, but that doesn't mean that I'm most active here - and even so, even though I do adore this forum, I'm still an official member (bleh, disregard the fact that it's pending - I used to be one until I picked a fight ). It just pisses me off that in order for "writing" to be appreciated nowadays, it has to be in the form of a thoughtless rap.

Either that, or unoriginal poetry. Prose doesn't seem to be popular in this forum, either.
