I've noticed this for some time now. Here's my rant.
____________________________
I've had people deliberately signing off when I want to speak to them, people just plain ignoring me, and people (when they even bother to notice my existence) take what I call a "fly in the jam" approach toward me. They act as if I'm lower than them, a lower species. This isn't just mods/amins - it's normal, regular people.
Here's news, dudes and dudettes.
I'm a normal Homo sapiens sapiens just lkike the rest of you. I'm not some sort of emotionless pond weed that happened to learn to type, you know.
I have heartstrings, and combining the way I get treated here with the treatment I get at school, they are really being strained.
____________________________
I stay here for the Zelda Classic community. I enjoy making quests. However, I want to make a group quest, try to recruit some people, and what response do I get? Absolutely nothing. Not even those who had originally volunteered as beta testers didn't say anything. Beta testers are supposed to keep an eye on the thing they are testing.
I've realised now.
They weren't there as beta testers. They were there to leech off anything cool I'd done in my quest, using my respect for them for "helping" to make my quest the best it could be against me.
OK - no beta testers.
I beta-test.

When I first joined, I found this to be somewhere where people helped each other. I got help from people like LORDCRONIC (as he was then), plith and others. Now I'm completely and utterly ignored.
I try to make nice, friendly, helpful suggestions (such as the newsgroup alt.games.armageddon, which I've made a proposal for). I made this so that ZC would get a new influx of people visiting... do I get any mention, thanks, hell, any kind of announcement on the forums? No. It's just another thing I said in my #AGN log. What's more, only one person cared for 5 seconds or so, then it was just forgotten.

What's going on?
Is there some kind of anti-DragonCommandrian conspiracy?
Do you actually like me?
I may decide to call this my epitaph... I may have my epitaph as simply "The One who was Ignored".
Thank you for listening (if you bothered to).
