GBF:
I have just been looking at the Stats on the Gallery and see that lots of Members are looking but not commenting why is that '
Sometimes Threads are viewed hundreds of times and get one or two comments that is not very encouraging for the Members who take the time and trouble to put stuff up.
Forum's are a great place to see what is going on in the World of Woodturning and an opertunity to learn from others.
An oportunity to share ideas and develop your turning .
This used to be a really good Forum very active and some lively discusions but it seems to be slowly dying.

A few weeks ago I put a picture in the Gallery of a Bowl with a Pewter rim and at 88 views and no comments I removed it and I will tell you why because I also did an exstensive WIP on my Blog to go with it not for my benifit because I know how to do it but to help Members who dont know.
Yesterday I put a picture up of some Box's and Paper weights with Pewter inserts again with a very detailed WIP on my blog to help other turners that have not done this sort of work.
On this Forum no comments on my Blog 117 people viewed that WIP yesterday  therefore I can only assume that a lot of you looked at it.

I am not crying because nobody commented and told me how clever I am I dont need that but why would I or anybody else go to the work of doing a WIP if nobody is interested enought to comment as it is a hell of a lot of work.

The same goes for Members putting pictures of their work up give them a bit of encouragement.

One reason I don't post much on here anymore. Bit depressing getting no response to something.  Must admit with some including you George I tend to respond more on one of the social media postings.

Derek:
Like many I belong to many forums. I did comment on your paperweights but on another forum. I am slowly starting to make only one comment on any of the forums this does not mean that I am ignoring posts. I have not read any of your blogs on the pewter process because for the time being I can not see me doing it soon but maybe later.
I also know that some of my work although simple turning has had comments in other places and don't always expect another on other forums

Les Symonds:
I too suspect that much of the problem is the continued attraction and popularity of social media. I tend to comment where I first see an item and recall commenting on the pewter-ringed paperweights, but then I also tend not to comment a second time if the same item appears elsewhere.

GBF:
I think you misunderstand Les it is not about my posts that was just an example.

Regards George
