#1 resource for Cigar Box Guitars, Free Plans, How-To, Parts & More!

Nation Etiquette. Posting a bunch of videos at once. :(

Okay, there are no rules, but there should be some etiquette, manners, respect and thinking before we do something. And yes, I fail at this from time to time.

I am annoyed when someone posts more than a couple videos at once. Doing so prematurely knocks other people off the video section of the home page. Once off the main page, many people never look to see them. Not cool. People want there efforts to have an opportunity to be noticed.

Kind of the same thing when some posts large numbers of photos at once.

What do you think on this? What have you got to say on related matters?

Mark,

Your comments are much appreciated. I hope everyone on CBN reads them. That said, I think the reason there's little negativity here is that we are all engaged in several creative endeavors here:

1) Building and designing (and redesigning) homemade instruments.
2) Playing and creating homemade music.
3) Sharing these with people we may only know online, and may never get to meet in person.

Not to get too mushy, but I don't believe that anyone can do these things without loving it. The love comes through with the creativity. Also, although I don't have a demographic for CBN members, I sense that most of us are "older" with nothing to prove, except maybe to ourselves. There's something refreshingly real about this activity, probably because once you've completed Build #1, you become truly humble.

This probably sounds like incoherent rambling...*sigh*... must be time for the traditional Group Hug...*sniff*

Hi John,

I was just looking at your page and saw this discussion. I know it is old, but I thought I might talk about it because I am newer here. You know, I never thought about any of that. I think when you are new here, you just try to find your way, and try to learn what everyone else is doing and follow suit.

I believe you are right about the videos, but I never had a thought about it before I read this. I was wondering, maybe there could be a "Help on Getting Started for New Members" discussion, with tips and advice such as this? I would have read it lol. Anyway, sure appreciate you and all the friendly CBGers welcome and help.
