@Kangy That's right, we have to enjoy it, no matter if someone votes or not.

well, a good word i composed is something that is generally good to live by, "What blame is there if you are trying? your best may look insignificant to others, but the knowledge that you have walked such lengths only you alone can truly appreciate; for it is better to mind more what positive you feel and are thinking of, rather than letting that is of external matters and thoughts(of which, of the people and of your own regarding what others think) dictate how you feel, only then, as such, inner peace and enjoyment is achieved.", or essentially, take pride and enjoy what you make or want to share and don't let people or bad thoughts intrude your peace, i personally love ships and simple stuff and it's my hope to share more of them so that i may inspire others to be more interested in what i do or the history behind them, toos!!

@MIGFOXHOUND31BSM26 Oh sure, but it feels like everything gets upvoted now. And I don't just mean my own stuff (that's obviously going to increase, being a fairly well-connected Platinum now). I frequently see craft by newbies getting a handful of upvotes. Not necessarily a bad thing, it just seems different.
I feel like it's a cultural change, though maybe that's just me. I wasn't nearly as engaged in the actual community aspect back then.

@BaconEggs
Just wait, someday, we may even get .1 days!

0 days without users complaining about upvotes

@Graingy but the bar was lower

@MIGFOXHOUND31BSM26 Funny. I’ve been playing almost as long and I seem to remember it being rather difficult to get upvotes?

@Majakalona They’re a freak instance. The currents of the internet lifted them there, not true merit. Their design was interesting, sure, but it flew horribly and this is all just a case of it being the newest trend. I wish them luck, really, and no hard feelings to them, absolutely, but this is hardly deserved success from a well-made craft.

@Tiper4062 as someone who has been playing since 8yrs ago Both @hiiamhere and @winterro are right

"Its harder to get upvotes now"
Nah, you'll need patience, Time, enjoyed and Self improvement to have upvotes.

But that doesn't mean that there's no way to become successful on the site. If you find your skill you will succeed eventually. And with simpleplanes 2 releasing soon in about a year there is enough time to build your skill before all the players come flooding back.

@Tiper4062 About SimplPleyns. Its a her

@winterro also true.

When simpleplanes2 releases it should all get better because the game will repopulate again, with new unexperienced players with low upvote bars.

Sorry.... Learning many things on SimplePlanes since a month of not having an account.

@Tiper4062 facts, seven years ago any player could get loads of upvoates but now the game has gotten way to hard. Every one is building detailed cockpits, detailed tanks cars and I haven't even started about learning the overload coding system. The game has gotten way to complex for most new players. The lowest bar in the game is way to high these days, if it doesn't have a fully functional cockpit or some wierd overload funkynes it's not worthy of upvoates in many players eyes.

The most important factor is that there are less players playing simpleplanes now a days than seven years ago when simpleplanes was at its peak.

The good thing is that simple planes 2 is coming out soon so that should repopulate the game a little.

@winterro Yes, but you are asking for votes.

@Kangy facts

build for yourself, not the points

@winterro At first I thought like that but after seeing your article I remembered that this is just a website for uploading things that make us happy

@Tiper4062 try to find your niche, don't build crafts for the upvotes, but to improve yourself and have fun. Eventually will you find what you like and start building it out. As for me, i discovered i like to build bionic walkers. When your builds start benig fun(not that they aren't), thats when you will get followers,

@Majakalona he can already put up thumbnails or something, I guess he's not new.

@SimplPleyns disproves that
