I thought your threads were good, especially OTF History.
Do you know what it is like to be ignored?
Sort:
I’m sorry that you are feeling like this. Is there any way that I can help?
No, it’s over. Otf history can be inherited by anyone, but some credits would be nice.
And yes, I know how you feel. Most of my threads are not very popular. My AMA is my biggest, but it turned into a chat thread and lost its purpose. If you are leaving, I will be sorry to see you go.
Maybe in another life, things could have been different. I guess, I just wasn’t active enough
I’m sorry that your threads didn’t receive any recognition. You’re one of the best thread creators on the site, even if the posts don’t show for it. Either way, it was nice knowing you, and I’m happy to be your friend. Have a great time off the site, and I hope you return someday.

Sadly, this is how OTF is. Minimal effort spam threads receive much more attention than threads with hours of work put into them. Your history thread was great, its sad it didn't get as much attention as it should have. Sad to see another OTFer leave. Bye!
I think your threads were unpopular because they actually had a purpose. The OTT thread for example. Most people on here would rather rate the person above you than accurately describing OTF. I thought it was nice for someone to make high-quality threads.
There are quite a few that you haven’t seen. One of my biggest projects, Ordoism, can be found by searching Balvi
It’s called “Ordoism - Balviboy

#12 oh, didn’t know. And no, there isn’t, I will either return due to the addiction of a chance to be famous or leave otf. Permanently. I’m still up to dm and play games
Most people who use OTF are younger ones who don't have the attention span to read more than a sentence, and your forums are always thought out.
Yeah, and I feel like that is also the reason they died. Who truly cares about history when they can spam and get famous?
I like history and lore and all that stuff. Im the kind of guy who watches commentaries and behind the scenes on movies
"Comparison is the killer of joy."

I like lore of video games, any history. I watched 30 minutes of a documentary about the USSR
When I started otf, there were omens that displayed how my time would be wasted. In one of the very first threads I commented on, it died right away, even though it had 300 comments on it… Thinking about it, I should have realised that this signified something. But I stayed. My first thread I ever made had almost no comments. I expected that.
A little after, my time started to improve. I got my first 50 comment thread. Sure, I had to bump it, but it worked out. People seemed interested. Until it died. I was getting happier, things seemed to be up. My amas where a big ignored.
Soon, I got my first 100 comment thread, which ironically was something about otf being quiet (so basically a spam thread). I genuinely laughed that such a thread with 0 effort put in me got 100. “It’s gonna be easy to get more” I said. Life went on.
It was not easy, my 3 amas all died, and none of my threads lived. I did however get an 80 comment thread, an ingenious idea to create a rewind thread. I put a few events in it, it was pretty cool.
Nothing. No threads, a lot of breaks, a lot of leaving, I was not here. I started adding my name after threads, so people could find them easier.
Still nothing. All of my threads had few comments and required bumping, although a few people seemed happy to comment on them.
“My last thread” I thought, as I put hours of effort into the history thread. As I went to sleep, the 3 comments, 2 of them mine, blared in my vision. “So I was still ignored” I thought, and knew that soon I would leave.
25 comments! Finally, it seemed that after hours of effort, a thread I have finally started to receive attention. Maybe only because rage raged. A lot of people seemed happy to correct me, it was nice.
It continued, I got to 100 I was happy. And then I saw the threads getting 2-300 comments. Threads like THE SCREAMING FORUM, it all leapt into my vision tearing at my heart. I had been here for a year, and prople here who have been here only for a few days getting the same amount of comments in my threads combined.
I had enough, I started a test, seeing if I could gain this popularity with a new account. And I did, my first thread, a typical hi thread received attention.
And now, I have finally given up. 10 hours put into a thread, for 100 comments, a whole year for less than 300. I have earned nothing, but a few friends. Maybe the treasure was the very few friends I made along the way.
So here they are: Sawdof, Basix, BenTD6, ChimchurriCat, WndrU, Devin, Atti, Saf. These people have communicated, and accepted me. I thank them. They paid some attention to me, and I take it.
Thanks for anyone who ever commented on my threads… you helped me stay for as long as I did. Bye - Balviboy
