Board Thread:2016 - A Year of Unity/@comment-1824169-20160702141918

Alright, so, since nobody else is bringing up any ideas for the Year of Unity, here's my dumb suggestion.

Everybody loves getting feedback on their work, right? It confirms that people are actually interested in what you're doing, and the right kind of feedback can help improve you as an author. I could go on longer about the positive aspects of it, but you probably know all this already, so it would be rather redundant.

In spite of the positive factors, there seems to be something stopping people from giving feedback around here, and getting even a single comment on a page is a rarity nowadays.

Is it the fact that it takes 60 seconds out of our day we could have spent downing Cheetos and Mountain Dew? Or is it simply that we're not very good at thinking of things to say? Either way, it's frankly rather sad. In the words of the Unstumpable Mr. Trump, we're all pretty "LOW ENERGY".

And so, since we ain't doing anything else around here for the Year of Unity, I propose to you mentlegen a solution:

GIVING MORE FEEDBACK

...What? Simple problem, simple solution. This ain't rocket science.

We just need to start encouraging people to give more feedback. We all generally have thoughts on what we read, so why not share them with the world?

I propose that we commit ourselves to sharing our thoughts on things more often. Obviously, there's no way to make you do something you don't want to, but we can at least try and get a ripple effect going here. I'll be the first to commit, since this is my dumb idea, but I hope you all agree that this is something worth doing.
