I've only been on a couple days, but I also find it frustrating. Maybe I'm simply an impatient personality. lol I think my frustration isn't so much from not getting funded - but simply lack of exposure of my material. I posted a couple poems here:

I posted an intro and verification here:

And I posted this crazy bee-scepade here:

And my adorable cat here:

But it's like my posts are getting lost in the shuffle or something? I mean...I don't think they're BAD posts. I wasn't expecting a billiondy upvotes. But still. I wish I understood how to get EXPOSURE on here.

Just look at that cat! How is she not getting upvotes and comments?? haha
