Dear Bbc Mocists Who Want To Make A Difference.
In regards to a PM I received:
A wise person once said that 'those who don't learn their history are doomed to repeat it.' Unfortunately, this has been recently witnessed in our dear BBC forum. A call to arms, a call to change, a call for revolution!
As Relient K said: "Wit's all been done before."
History lesson?
We've been here and we've done this. Years ago.
There used to be topics open after the contests ended to discuss things that could change. We talked about making polls private, trying to hide the identity of the MOCists. We discussed these things to death, but none of them are feasable. You can't disguise a style, a backdrop, picture taking techniques.
Famous members have always attempted to 'break' the system. I did it. Natha did it. Etc and so on.
And yes, it works. Why?
Popular builders are popular for a reason. Are you tired of losing to a big-name MOCist? Build something better. Push yourself to new heights. That's what I did. that's what Amalga did. That's what all the greats do.
That's how it works.
Don't yell for change just because it's unfair right now!
Because life's not fair. It sucks. But it's true nonetheless.
What we have is the best we can do until certain changes are decided to be beneficial to the overall system.
Learn your history, or be doomed to repeat it.
