02 กุมภาพันธ์ I found me!! WOOT!Good gosh it's been over a year now! I got a new puter 13 months ago and lost all my links and stuff and finally I have found me! ..lol Gawd this thing looks bad
 I dunno if I will leave it here or not. I have a real website now and having fun playing there most days. You can find me here www.tagtramps.com We have a forum and all kinds of stuff. I still have a lot to learn but it is much more reliable that's for sure! No ads, no pop-ups.. nuttin' but fun! I'm still taggin' and having fun with that but since I moved I just don't spend the time on the puter that I used too. I actually have a life now that includes leaving the house now and then. Well except for the last month. I had pneumonia and was in for 4 weeks straight. I thought I'd die for sure! Feelin' better now but I strained my vocal chords pretty bad with all the coughing but it is finally getting better. Nuff about that.. speaking of taggin' and forums and all that, I could write a book right now but I'll spare ya of that. Just want to say that it is becoming a real pain in the arse and taking more time than ever before. Here's the skinny version of that. When making tags you must have permission or pay for a tube with license and all that in order to use it. OK I get that and from my bank acct. it shows that I am more than willing to do that and be copyright aware, respecting artists rights and so on. Now, everyone is jumping on the bandwagon scrappers, mask designers, even tut writers. People have always sold their fonts and that's ok too, there's tons of free fonts out there. I'm getting sidetracked here..back on topic. This is the beef, as a tagger this entails the following: keeping up with artists(if they are free to use or licensed), writing for permissions to use their work, finding a tut, looking thru the tut trying to find out if we can use the supplies without permission or do I have to write to the mask designer, the scrap maker(or do we have to pay for that too), the animation creator(if there is one), is the font free or a pay to use font, then there's the filters.. most have to be paid for or you spend another 2-3 hours finding them, d/l and installing them and can only hope they work... it goes on and on so I spend most of one day gathering all this info and writing to peeps(hoping I get an answer at all). Say all this is done, you spend another couple of hours making the tag. All this just to make a tag to GIVE away to peeps that may or may not even say thank you. Ummm.. ok so your question is probably.. why do this if it is such a bother? That's what taggers do. We love making the tags and seeing what we can come up with on our own too and when the one that does say thank you or they actually express any kind of gratitude and actually use the tag on message boards.. it sure makes you smile!The one thing that I will never ever understand is why would anyone go to all the trouble, spend the time that it takes to create something, write a tut for it, publish it to an open website, then say you have to ask to post a link to your site?? What the hell does that do for ya?! I would think that anyone with half a brain wouldn't want to spend hours of their day trying to track every ip that visits their site and figuring out where they are going next and did they put a link to one of your tuts without asking. Maybe I am the one with half a brain! I thought the whole point in having a website was to get that link out there to as many peeps as possible in order to get as much traffic as you can to your site. Is that not the way it is supposed to work? Damnifino!!  |
