When ever the blue moons full and i post some customs i'm always very interested in the reactions. Unfortunatly it's kind of hard to gauge, i've never been able to find a connection to how to get lots of post and when i dont. I think it's really just a matter of timing, if you post stuff, at certain times of the day when people are gabbing it'll get noticed more than other times of the day. I know i saw your post and was going to make a comment on the fireman figure, but it was to low on the board for anyone to notice. I barely ever post on customs tho' and i think that has something to do with it too, if i go "i like your work" to someone then the next day post a custom of my own they'll probably respond back. So being vocal probably has something to do with it too.
