		<description>Hehe... yeah, people discussing your site is nearly always good. My favourite example of this was when a livejournal ring of Harry Potter gay sex-oriented fan-fiction writers wrote a story around me because one of them found a photo of an old bedroom window of mine that captivated them, for some reason. So I wound up with several hundred new visitors and a starring role in a (lengthy) bit of Harry Potter sex fiction.

Gotta love the internet.</description>

		<description>What, is my monster head up top some sort of value-add that was missing before? hahaha

I know what you mean, though. It&#039;s fun to crap on stuff, but harder to heap praise. Negative inertia is stronger than positive inertia. :)</description>

		<description>Hah, keep in mind those comments were based on your old site. I bet they&#039;d say something else now that you have that pic up at the top.

I find it funny that once someone says something negative, it is very easy for otherwise-good people to join in.  Well, maybe not funny.  It&#039;s actually kind of depressing.  Why isn&#039;t praise contagious in the same way?

&quot;Your game sux!&quot; &quot;Yeah, it sux!&quot;

&quot;Your game rox!&quot; &quot;...&quot;</description>

		<description>Brian, haahaha, great analogy. If they&#039;re willing to dismiss my writing on the basis of a well-marketed name, then, well, they&#039;re not really the kind of people I write for. *shrug* Why would it faze me? :)
