Upvoted for the honesty.

I don't know that I consider the project a failure, but it is clear that the current attitude is stifling fun, creativity and enjoyment.

I read PaintingAngels post and felt bad, but I didn't really know her well as I gravitate to different topics, but I sure did like what I did see of her.

Even Marky said tonight on his show that every post feels so judged and not in a fun a way.

I was never an advocate of the Quality Content group and thought casual posting and networking was a better direction.

Personally, much of the fun and optimism has been sucked out for me as well. I guess I still hope for this phase to pass.

Time will tell. Good luck in your future projects.
