I have been here for a while now and when I post somthing or make a level it often gets overlooked. Even when I make stuff for groups I can let someone else publish a copy of what I have done and they ge a virtual pat on the back for what I have done. I do as people ask, I try to be funny, I do m best to give feedback, I help when and where I can but other newer members now outrank me. I often get ignored and I tell people what I have done for months before they take notice. So why do I get left out? And how can I get others to notice me?

I don't know. This kind of thing just happens. I have seen you around and I don't ignore you. I kind of try to treat everyone the same, without ignoring anyone. Though I've been much less active than before. Have a couple of long vacations coming up so I can get back into lbp and prowling on here. Advice: keep on being nice and if you really want plays or to be noticed you should pm people. Ask them to play your levels or what they think about an idea, etc.

Get someone to play your level. You know, visitor messages or PM isn't there for talking only. Ask someone to play your level. You know, I'm open to play any level. It's rare me posting around the level/object showcase anyway. Though, if you want feedback from me. *Points at my profile* Send me a message. You can send one now if you want.

its good to hear you, both of you, say that. because, what happens to me in lbp affects me in life. really without guys like you i would have killed myself long ago. (lbp is a major subsection in one of my 2 reasons to live) Ps it sadly proves my point that it took near 7 hours for anyone to respond to this thread.

Hey unXpectiD, I'm so sorry to hear you feel this way. My experiences with the PSP community have all been positive, and the people here, and LBPCentral as a whole, are generally warm, inviting, and intelligent, but some are also very busy (like me!). Please don't take it personally if it takes several hours for someone to respond...I've been there before, and it happens more often than you think. The PSP community is also kind of small, so chances are high for having slow responses. I highly recommend venturing into the General forums to talk about gaming, movies, and other fun non-LBP stuff and to mingle with people outside the PSP forums. I can guarantee you will have quicker responses, have good conversations, and meet new friends that will make you feel more included. As for getting more plays, be sure to participate in F4F and play other F4F levels so that you have gauranteed plays and feedback. If you leave feedback for an F4F thread, and the creator doesn't return the favor, please PM me, and I'll make sure you get it! We care about you, and I will try my best to help you feel more included. Put a smile on your face, jeffcu28

Hey buddy!! I am sorry you feel this way. I have seen you around for a while, and have gotten to know you over in the 12 days project. You are a cool dude, and I like you. I know sometimes in a community of this size it's hard to get noticed, but just keep at it, and you find your way. Creatively, you are very good. You have helped me tremendously in my upcoming level with your character designs. Even though, they will be used in my level, I promise to give you credit for making them. I can't believe I didn't see your thread here today. :blush: Anyway, like Spark says, don't be afraid to just ask people to play your levels. Later my friend!! -VJ

Unexpected, one is left out on LBPC we open our little sack arms to people no matter what. The community acts as a whole and you are part of it.

Hey unXpectiD- As others have said, this sort of thing just does tend to happen from time to time - it's an artifact of society in general I think. That's not an excuse though, and I'm really glad you started up this thread! You can't be the only person out there who doesn't feel 100% welcome, and that's not something I want in any community I'm a part of. So then, let's get down to it! I have been here for a while now and when I post somthing or make a level it often gets overlooked.Hmm? Did you say something? (Sorry, sometimes I can't help myself. :blush: I blame the Halloween candy. And jeffcu28.) In all seriousness, this is kind of a big problem when communities grow. The older, more established members tend to pay less attention to those they don't view as part of the "core" group, myself included. What can you do to not get overlooked? Why, start a thread exactly like this one! As for posting a level and not getting any attention, well, F4F can get you a heck of a lot of attention - as much as you want actually. You probably already know this, but to sum it up... To get feedback you give feedback. If you want people to play your level, go through the Level Showcase and start leaving feedback for other F4F levels there. Be insightful, helpful, constructive, and positive... but don't be afraid to point out exactly what sucks! People want to improve, so do them the favor of being honest and friendly. At the end of your feedback, ask for feedback on your level and presto! Instant increase in plays and feedback. Not getting the return plays-for-plays? Send a note to jeffcu28 and he'll set things straight with his magical Trained Gopher of Slacker Walloping. Even when I make stuff for groups I can let someone else publish a copy of what I have done and they ge a virtual pat on the back for what I have done.I hate to tell you this, but that's just life. People steal your ideas, take credit for stuff you've done, and otherwise make your life miserable. Usually, however, they are not doing it on purpose, so a quick "hey don't forget that I made that" is usually all it takes. Just be positive up front, and don't be afraid to take credit where credit is due! I do as people ask, I try to be funny, I do m best to give feedback, I help when and where I can but other newer members now outrank me.Well, first things first - you are funny! Your posts get a smirk out of me most of the time, which is really saying something because I tend to browse the forums when I'm at work, and I'm very grouchy when I'm at work. A slight smile in that context is like backflips through rainbows made of pure chocolate unicorns in any other setting. As for the rank thing - phooey. Don't worry about that at all. Rank is just one way to potentially show how friendly and helpful a person is. I suggest two things. First, stop worrying about it. A watched pot never boils, as the saying goes. Second, use the "Thanks!" button a lot. A LOT. See something you like? Thank it! People will see your involvement, remember who you are, and thank you in return when you post something. Plus, use of forum features that benefit the entire community (like the reputation/thanks system) will also gain you rank.. I often get ignored and I tell people what I have done for months before they take notice. So why do I get left out? And how can I get others to notice me?Well, I'll tell you what. If you have doubts about whether or not you're getting noticed, I want you to drop me a PM or a visitor message and tell me about it! I'm not going to stand by idly while you get ignored my friend! I'll resort to long-winded posts referencing rainbows made of chocolate unicorns if I have to. I will. I'LL DO IT. Back to serious mode, I really mean that. Shoot me a PM anytime you want to chat, have a question, or just don't feel like you're fitting in. I'm here to help! No, no, no. Less of that and more of this! ---->

well im sorry you feal/felt this way, I didn't seem to be ignored or anything when i first joined and some of the new guys think im well known but im new here aswell, dont let those green bar's fool you they are only from over using the internet and posting so much tripe on this website . anyway, what taffey said cover's everything i was going to say (Taffey is very usful for 'yea what he said' posts haha)

Yup, Taffey and the other folks just said it all. Don't wait for people to come to you, go to them! After all you may not be the only person needing attention. I was quite shy of PM-ing when I first arrived, but everyone is friendly, no ones got mad at me, even when I make the most dumb questions. I can't participate in F4F half as much as I would like to, with such sporadic internet connections, but it helps a ton. So yeah, that all there is to it really. ^_^

thanks everyone... again... @ dizzy i know what you mean, dodgy connections are nasty. Ps. a random fact about me: When you put me into circuit with an ammeter you can see that i generate up to 3.68 amps! when you do this with other people they have about 0.04 amps. this means the eletrical current in my body is up to 9200 time stronger than other peoples!

I know how you feel, trust me, ive been through a hard relationship, devastating personal events and even depression, but i loved the psp community and i tried and got through alot! try to get noticed by making friends, making levels that are a big step up from your last, and just keep pushing till you get to the top and can relax at the surface of the water that is lbpc.
