So when I started here anonymous memes by redditors were frowned upon and I was told as a noob not to upvote them. I never thought about it much it was just something that was the way things were.

Now they have their own top pages it seems. So it makes me wonder why they can't post with user names.

Mainly if I like a meme I want to know who made it. So that if I see another they made and I like it then I will check out all their work for more. Only want to know if one redditor makes funny stuff here or if a lot of redditors get a good one in now and then.

Maybe it's because they don't return comments... Maybe they think meme sites are all like imgur.... Anybody been around long enough to know how this all started??

The only time I had anything do good on there were a few comments that were on popular or at least uploaded templates. No idea why they put time into making that of all things a new feature. I swear sometimes they just like f'kin with us lol.

Yeah I had some comments show up there. In an earlier discussion with another member it was brought up "what if a private chat comment" comes up in the top views... can you imagine.

Well I've had people search and find my "private" messages before so I wouldn't care if it was me. I never say anything to anybody about anyone that I wouldn't tell everybody.

This site has made so many changes just since I've been here. I can't imagine how much different it was for all of y'all!

I seem to recall people not liking it if I made an unconventional meme back then. That's before I knew anything about photo shop even. The very old school original meme makers wanted the proper one line at the top and one at the bottom on a template they recognized.

I think I got away with being different because I was as respectful as I could be and my comments made people laugh. Now I see an obvious repost or just plain crap meme and notice I'm one of the only people still on here that even remember all those rules lol.

It's kinda funny I look for originality now and when I started it was frowned upon. Not that everybody reposted crap all the time back then, most of the memes that made the front page back then were there for the first time lol.

I'm still happy to log on and make some original shit people may not even get and see how it goes. It's what I've always done and why it's fun for me. I don't really care what anybody else does unless they somehow restrict my ability to have a good time. That's no easy task I'm too open minded to think any of my opinions should be a law others need to follow.
