Your groups are so boring...

Well, i'm getting tired today.....
You wanna know why ? Are you sure ?
Ok so....i'm tired of seeing people stealing art from  others without any mention of the original work.
I'm tired of seeing manipulations without mentionning the sources, works also for background images.
I'm tired of seeing my art declined from groups without a word (and without any reason regarding their collections...)
Remember, fractal artists are commonly considered as button pushers, and sadly, that's true for most of us.
Please guys and girls, be honest with us, and most important, be honest with yourself, stop claiming you're doing Art with just changing a gradient on some random params.
Please, mention your source when you're tweaking something ! Be decent !
Art is everywhere, but all is in the manner to do it.

And now what ?
I'll not post anymore every image i create, i'll do it randomly when i'll have some spare time.
I guess i'll leave all those useless groups, if a group wants some of my Art, i'll consider the question and maybe i'll accept.
Oh....for the little story.....remember my first DD, it has been refused from few groups, but after getting the DD, strangely i had requests from the same groups asking to add my image....:lmao:
And for all the reasons i wrote you'll never see any params from me in public. That's a shame because i've learnt so much from shared params, but confidence seems not to be a really appreciated word in the
fractal community.

What i wish ?
Grow up kids, i'd love to see this community with some more maturity, and i'd like to believe that's not just a dream......

Have a nice week end.

I agree with you about groups. 95% of the groups I am in are from invites from the group, or they are fractal groups. I try the group out for a while. If they don't meet with my approval or my artistic endeavors, then I leave. It is that simple. I have been declined by many groups, and this includes fractal groups, however, I have come to the conclusion that I really don't care. I make fractal because I enjoy doing what I do and not because I want to impress anyone.

I disagree about sharing parameters with the community. I understand there are silly little noobs, trolls, sharks, (oh my :rofl:) and or idiots out there, however, I feel the above should not discourage anyone from sharing parameters, gradients, or helpful hints. I don't know where I would be if I didn't have the help of the grand masters of the fractal world. (We all know who they are). Each and every one of them have given me a helping hand to higher ground and I am DEEPLY appreciative of them.
