(Late) Sunday Chat Post

[sunsetmondays]

I must say Saturday / Sunday's 4th season of Salad UHC was absolutely wonderful. I had a great time and although my team didn't win, it was still lots of fun though the 9 hours spent so far in getting my perspective to upload isn't as enjoyable. For those of you that competed in UHC, what did you think of this season and at the beginning, which team did you originally think was most likely to win excluding your own team, of course. I honestly felt Mess had pretty good chances and was rather (albeit pleasantly) surprised that Team RagTag took out the title.

Another thing that has come to mind is the growing number of salad memebers, having recently hit 230 members and 222 subscribers; with this, one thing I'd like to know is how many of you read, comment on, and write fics (especially how many of you comment since while commenting is encouraged and appreciated, despite the rise in members, the number of comments per post have dramatically reduced). So, if it isn't too much trouble, here's a small poll on as such:

For those of you still on holidays, enjoy the rest of the holidays, and those back to the daily grind, don't work yourselves too hard.

UHC was so awesome. I'm really surprised but happy with the outcome and I am looking forward to the next one. I learned a few things about UHC that I will take on to the next one like being more careful about fall damage and teammate damage. As for team I thought was going to win.. I was pretty confident in RAGE's abilities. It was a team of all friends who'd done it before and it seemed like a winning team. Second in my opinion was MESS.

As for reading and commenting.. I read almost everything. I have some writers who I don't like their style, so I don't read them, but I read most of them. That being said, I do avoid people who I've seen who have bad grammar and all of that jazz. This seems to be a recurring topic, but ever since the member explosion, I have been looking here less and less. All the writers that were here that were the reason I joined the Salad ever so many months ago seem to have disappeared from the site. Of course, I do talk to several of them but this place is just not what it was before. And that is disappointing, not to say that the new members are bad, but it doesn't feel like as close of a community anymore, and some are not the best of writers. All I'm saying here is that the Dreamwidth portion of the Salad has become less and less appealing, and that's sad.

I try to comment on anything that I really liked, or things that I think could be better so I encourage people to try their best. As for writing things.. I was and am never confident in my writing abilities, so I don't tend to post things I write.
