Really considering leaving this community/forum

[jimbobklyn5]

I've been a member and part of this forum since 2013. Since then I have enjoyed being part of this community talking about Supergirl, Superheroines parody videos and etc. But here in the year of 2015/2016..I've seemed to have hit a wall on this forum and I have no idea why, which is the reason why I'm considering leaving this community. Over the past couple of months..I've posted about my fan film installments and other topics as well and I have begun to realize that I have not gotten any attention or feedback or interest from a majority of forum members for my fan film videos, its crowdfunding campaign or artwork posters or etc. Yet, the topic of discussion for most the year on this forum has been about Logan's behavior on his superheroines films and scamming fans and etc and that got way too much attention in my view and became a major turnoff to the point where others post and videos got ignored and etc. This is just my opinion of course and folks don't have to like it..but that's just my view

Also, As a co-producer of my own parody superheroine peril fan film series...I find it now more difficult to promote my work/future projects here on the forum because I feel that people here find it weird or hate it to the core or want to change it or hijack it to their own liking and as a creator of the series...I must say it has taken the fun out of doing these fan film installments anymore...which has been my biggest fear. Now, maybe its my depression or my stressed out brain that is doing most of the talking instead of my heart...but after the failure of the Supergirl VII: Unchained Indiegogo Crowdfunding Campaign..I feel that it is necessary for me to say how I feel and how disappointed I am. I make these fan films for fun and because I know a lot of people enjoy them...but what really is disappointing is that folks who do like the project then want to have there say and want some type of peril element put in the script (with the promise of contributing to the project's crowdfunding) and when its put in the script and excepted..the end result is those people who demand their say flake out.

This has become a major problem since 2015. Now, I'm not mad with anyone here at this forum and I'm not gonna go crazy and start cursing out anyone...I'm just letting out my frustrations and my feelings because it not fun coming to a superheroine forum where a majority of the community doesn't give its feedback either because (They think your a joke, they hate you and your work or boycotting/discrediting your work and etc for some reason). These are all the reason why I'm considering leaving this forum and this community altogether. What's the point of staying in a forum where you feel like your not wanted.

This is just the way I feeling at the moment.... :weep:

Part of problem is that this wasn't a superheroine forum initially. This was meant to be a place to discuss death fetishes and the erotic arts along with the productions done by Blue and other producers. Many of the users that have been here for quite some time are still here for that reason but some have adapted with open minds to this other venue. Some, have stayed with what they're comfortable with. I've always respected Blue for taking the risk going into something that was new and different from his original productions. It's a difficult thing because you can never truly satisfy everyone's tastes or needs, much of which you've felt too. As for why people are not responding to you, I would say that it has more to do with a user's privacy and interest than anything else. This place is a space that's safe for everyone to have an opinion but some feel it's a scary thing. The topics discussed here are not always easy for some to express their feelings towards. For some, it's a hidden shame, for others, it's the possible implications that they actually feel and think some of these thoughts. It's not always something that deep either and for many it could just be a passing interest. The point is that there are so many reasons as to why someone is not replying or contributing to something you've made or written but that doesn't mean that they are not acknowledging your efforts in some way. The other part of the problem is that your productions are parody / fan films. While that's not a bad thing, compared to many producers whom have more polished productions, it's not a contest. Please do not take that as an insult, that's just an observation on my part. As for the poster artwork, I can appreciate the effort done but it could be much better. For one, using multiple pictures of varied quality within the posters. Not a lot can be done about that sometimes, I realise, but it goes a long way if you can find a way to keep things consistent. The other opinion I have is that they're too busy, sometimes simple is better. (Then again, I don't understand what's proper in advertising of comic book material so I'll admit to my ignorance here.) As for crowd-funding, the main issue is that many out there do not understand that in order for your productions to be made and get better, it takes that money. Also for what people may not like, many things can always improve with time in a future production. None of this can happen out of your own pocket easily though and that's the difficult part to convey.

Anyway, that's my two cents on the matter. Please don't take anything that I've said negatively, it's up to others to give their input on the matter. But, I do hope that this kind of helps a bit.

ArcRaven is right that this message board was once completely devoted to the death fetish only. Over the years, I discovered that there was a cross-over to the Superheroine genre, and I've been a Comic Book Superhero (& Superheroine) fan for as long as I can remember. So, after years of being asked to do Superheroine customs, and after limited success with a couple of customs, I decided to try something new and through various connections put together a separate Superheroine and Spy production line, featuring high quality videos in both of those genres, the most popular Spy videos being the White Angel series. Once I did this, I created this "Superheroine Peril... and More" forum and invited other SH producers and fans to join, not just to discuss the death fetish elements but also the Peril elements.

So, this sub-forum, though still an integral part of the greater message board, is a place where both death fetish and peril only fans should feel comfortable and be able to enjoy the discussion and contribute to this mixed community. Thus, it's not just the fact that FF started as a death fetish only forum that appears to be the problem here, since I am also struggling with my current crowd funding initiatives. It appears that the community is not supporting such initiatives to the extent that we would hope.

All producers crave more input as to why this is, both in jimbobklyn5's case and generally. Further thoughts?

I am a bit mystified, to tell you the truth, Blue. I don't have a problem with the Superheroine subforum on FF considering how popular they were getting, and how much time and effort tyou were putting into the movies. It seemed a natural move to give them their own sub-folder on the forums - you can see how popular it is by the number of posts there and the responses.
