#Revive Maker World #Fixthecommunity #Giveusbackourcommunity What the community was: Sharing experiences Asking for help/advice Interacting with other makers Rating setups Making Ideas get heard Laughing about printing memes Celebrating Milestones with others WHAT THE COMMUNITY IS NOW: HI LOOK AT MY NEW CROWDFUNDING SERIES! COME GUYS, FUND ME 1000$!!!!!! LOOK AT THIS NEW INSPIRING MODEL I MADE FOR THE CONTEST! GO AND PRINT, DOWNLOAD, LIKE AND DON'T FORGET TO BOOST! CROWDFUNDING CROWDFUNDING CROWDFUNDING CROWDFUNDING CROWDFUNDING LOOK AT MY NEW MODEL LOOK AT MY NEW MODEL Ok, seriously what is this? What happened to this place that once connected users? One Question @MakerWorld: WHY DO YOU NEED TO MAKE A POST ABOUT YOUR MODEL TO ENTER A CONTEST? Hundreds of models get entered to every contest and every one of them gets a promotion post that gets more visibility than everything else due to the corresponding hashtags! And with every contest the community is dumped with hundreds of these junk advertising posts. WHY? That's not what the community is there for!

these are my goals this year 1. 500 followers 2. 1k downloads and prints combined 3. a post with 50 comments
