I don't get this trend of leaving icon posts open for two/three days, then flocking them, making public fic posts, then flocking them. It's so frustrating when I have fic saved in my LJ memories, only to find it's been flocked since when I want to reread it (this seems to happen particularly with Supernatural fandom for some reason).

What happened to the days of people locking personal posts only, and leaving fandom-related posts public. I miss them *sighs*

I don't like when they do that either.
Also I dislike that most coloring tutorials now are just PSD files and you have to join and then comment to get the password?? is this just so they get lots of comments for their community?? So a high comment count means they're a better icon maker? pfft.
Also large icon posts with like 20 fandoms but they all have less than 5 icons per fandom in their batch, I may have unlimited bandwidth but I'm not clicking for like just 3 icons.

Ooh yes that's something else I don't really get. Some people post something like 200 icons (no exaggeration) in just the one entry. I don't get why people wouldn't just post them in two posts if they have that many, rather than save them all for one gigantic post which can take ages to load.


ETA And ditto with posting 20+ gifs in one entry, it always causes me comp to freeze up *kicks it* and I have to keep constantly reuploading the page and starting again if I really want to see them all. Life is hard *g*
