* If a thumbnail catches your attention enough for you to take a look at it, then it's probably worth commenting on. Even the smallest comments go a long way for people - especially the ~'s that aren't well acquainted with this site.

* My stance on favs: My favs hold less value than my comments. I put more time and care into commenting than I do with clicking the little +fav button. While I understand the +fav is a nice rewarding compliment, I feel that communities turn this reward into a <hates me/standards are too high/only favs friends< kind of ordeal. To me, +favs are simply for my own reference/collection in the <My Favorites< account page. I collect +fav walls that hold a special appeal to me, not based on skill, but just because the wall holds a unique appeal to my tastes. Think of it as something as trivial as <favorite color< or <favorite TV show.<

* Why am I so obsessed with the <~< symbol? Because I've always held a negative perspective on people using <.< at the end of their sentences haha. I think sometimes the period just seems so assertive while the squiggly just seems so much more flowy and nicer. Example? <Nice job.< <Nice job~< The tone is different, yes?

* I'm always open to continue discussing walls in PMs, IMs, or on UPs. While my activity on this site is sporadic, I will always try my best to get back to you on things :)

* If you need advice/help/suggestions, feel free to ask. Again, I can't guarantee a quick response but I will try my best to help you!

* When people do comment on your work or +fav it, try to thank them. I'm not saying go to each UP and say <thanks<... It's just that people don't get thanked enough in life. If they give you a nice gesture, why not try to return it if you have the time to do so?

* Don't under-appreciate the devs, mods, and admins here. There's a lot more things that happen behind the scenes that builds up the effectiveness and success of this site.
