Your profiles are important to both you, and us, because they give us a nice big picture on where everyone lives, what you've all accomplished, how old everyone is, what genre's and creative pursuits you're into, and of course...how you all got here.

So here's some visual statistics for how you all found us, along with some other charts just for fun. Please remember to fill your profiles out appropriately, and we'll include some more graphs next time! :D

  • How Everyone Found Us (Who Invited You)
     



  • Genders
     



  • Everyone's Karma
     




If everyone can fill out their location (at least a capital city and country) then we will do that graph and age next!

Ooo, interesting!

Actually, I'm most intrigued by the karma one. I wonder what 7 posts got bad karma, ha. They have to be bad enough to warrant someone wanting to leave feedback...but not so bad that they'd get deleted.

There's 34 pages to go through ha ha
http://www.creativeburrow.org/viewkarma/

Or I will use my magic....

Okay so...here are the posts and the reasons. There have been more in the past but I am very careful with what I delete and keep. Sometimes things slip through, but if someone is nasty or rude I delete the karma entry, and if someone gives no reason I delete it. It took all of 3 seconds to find these by clicking the stats on the view page.

It would be good to see karma being used a LOT more, both for negative but especially positive reasons. It makes everyone feel good when they get good karma and it almost always comes back to you :).


I have been wanting to talk about this for some time. I'm curious to see if others have had this same experience. When I have written something that turns out well, it seems for weeks I will have this feeling that I need to write. I don't always have the time, so I will wait until I can't wait anymore! Then, what I write seems to come to me fully formed, from somewhere else! No kidding, it will only take a short time, and this wonderful poem will emerge as if it was just waiting for me to put pen to paper! Has this happened to anyone?

Elizabeth Gilbert gave a TEDtalk about it that you can watch either on YouTube or the TEDtalk official website. She said that the inspiration for creative people has historically been dissociated from the artist themselves, like in the Roman tradition of the genius, which was more like a household fairy for artists rather than something an artist had in their mind. She also talked about how artists could dissociate the cause of their inspiration even without imagining household fairies. Gilbert gave the example of this musician, would talk to himself if a tune came to mind and he had no way to record it. He'd say, "Can't you see that I'm driving? If you really want to exist, come back another time or go bother somebody else!"

And one poet (also in Elizabeth Gilbert's talk) said that she could feel when a poem was coming in, like a gust of wind before a storm or something, and she would have to outrun the poem in getting to her pencil and paper. If she was a little too late it passed by her, she could catch it, but she had to pull it in by its tail so that the poem would get on the paper backwards from the last line to the first

To EllyMarks, from Bunny at 07:13pm Sun, Jun 1, 2014 <I am going to start doing this way more BTW, don't reference something without a linky (video or pictures I mean, reference artists, books, etc all you like without a reference but not videos or pictures!).


This was a really old thread that got bumped, huh?

Anyway, I k now it's a moot point to pick favorites on this one considering you're going to be removing them. I just wanted to say that with future banners, though, you need to be careful with using images that aren't yours. As in, using the Bart Simpson image could get you in trouble using it because you don't have the rights to it, so just be aware of that.

This is one thing im well aware of, and I deal with this regulary at SMF, using the bart image as the basis, as its a known image and is widely used and referenced they generally dont have any issue with people using, now under the DMCA that they would fall first thing they can do is ask me to remove the image, if they did this then I would be happy to, after a set time if they had issue they would issue a DMCA notice to myself legally demanding I remove it, if that fails then they would contact my host, now my host is a good friend of mine and he has permission to go into the folder he knows where it is located and remove the image without asking.  As I said I know my host and I trust my host just like Bunny and I know he host and he is a good friend of us both.

No, no and no again. Let's step back a bit and look at what we are trying to do. Are we trying to win a popularity contest? I think not. Are we running for public office? I think not. Yes, I know that there are still human beings out there who think that sex is a dirty word. And I agree with the sentiment I found in this poster.


So I vote for 'keep the name' and ignore the puritanical hypocrites. Sorry if that came out rather bluntly but that's the way I feel about this issue. If the puritanical hypocrites insist on being insulted and offended by being called puritanical hypocrites, then there's nothing much I can do to stop them from feeling so.

Actually many pagans are bright and cheery, I usually am and I am a devout Pagan.

Oh really? So are you especially bright and cheery when you are preparing to sacrifice virgins to celebrate the coming of spring? Come to think of it, you can't be. Most probably you would be tired and grumpy because finding a virgin nowadays is more difficult than looking for a needle in the hay stack.

I doubt not only my talent but also that any publisher would be interested.. So, as they say in my country, ner ner! Lol.

I believe it depends. Philip Zimbardo stated in one of his books that it's possible to be born with a particular sexuality, nurtured into  or simply choose it. I agree with him. I've observed that many straight people who live among bisexuals or homosexuals are getting curious and sometimes start experimenting with their sexuality on their own.

Where I'm at in my career, as BRS competition would not do me any favours in the long run. The prizes might be cool, but I am supposed to be writing and publishing in places where possible employers will understand the value of my work. That's not saying you guys rock here, but that it's not the right place for my work.

Big female audience, but we have a good mix active I think. It's interesting to see these sorts of stats. I wonder what a pie chart of peoples interests would look like?

I liek the karma one too. We are all creative, artsy, intelligent people who want to share our words, thoughts and feelings with the world. Why would anyone  ever want to hate on that or send BAD karma for that! I encourage it. Love this forum so far. :)

Wow. So many fellow ladies in this site. I'm from the Philippines. It's somewhere in South East Asia. The pue graph is not bad. It's better than just staring at plain, boring numbers. The colored graph made it more interesting

About Bunny
Jade Elizabeth is an eccentric young woman who enjoys writing stories and poems with hidden deeper meanings. She is quoted saying “Writing to me is not a hobby. It's a passion. It's something that lets my thoughts expose themselves, and my heart shine through where other art could not.

Commonly her poems are inspired by love or depression, and are dedicated to the people who encouraged the emotion. Given the chance she will readily pull her poems apart, exposing the deeper and hidden meanings behind her words.

Her stories are usually unspoken messages to those close to her – giving every story a hidden meaning. Some things are better left unsaid, or in her case, expressed indirectly through stories.

Jade used to write Documentation for Simple Machines in her free time, but has since begun studying and working, which takes up most of her free time now.

Romance, Fantasy, and Sad Stories and Poems.
