Sci-Fi Mega Metal 12 by Ronjonie by ronjonnie

Hey Ron

Of course I like the looks of them.....I'm a dedicated metalhead!!!

No offense, but I think you are severely diluting out the usage of your own filters by having way too many close variants of the same thing.....which could all be easily combined into one filter towards getting a high usage filter. You want high usage rankings on your filters, right???

The other problem you might encounter is that by diluting out the usage on all your filters, they will all end up with the "kiss of death" low usage ranking.....users will attach a stigma to everything you do as being "crap".....and end up avoiding your filters.....even if they are spectacular.....

I'm just suggesting that you might want to consider changing your approach to all this.....because it seems to me like a crying shame that you are using all that time and energy to self-sabotage yourself.....

Again, I don't mean any offense or to put your work down in any way......I'm just trying to help.....

Well, that's not the problem.....because you obviously have an eye for what looks good.....

You do know that getting downloads is not the same as getting usage statistics, right??? You can pile up all the downloads in the world on your filters.....but it doesn't mean anything towards piling up usage statistics and getting high usage rankings.....especially if you have "spread out" usage on a bunch of similar filters.....which is why I suggested that you combine your similar filters to "concentrate" usage towards a high usage ranking.....

I say this because I did the same thing as you.....and learned the hard way I've gone back and deleted about 75 filters so far.....and I still have alot more "housecleaning" to do towards cleaning up the mess that I made from my young and foolish filtermaking days..... LOL.....

One thing is for sure......you are having alot of fun with it......and got addicted the same way that I did.....

Best!!!

Evenin, Steve & Craig,

I have re read your comments & know you both mean well, tryin to help me and all...Sounds like a good western ..right.HA :

All kidding aside. "You are both right"! It has been mentioned to me before to use the switch control. You both, I know, actually know what you are doing, where I, know I have A LOT to learn! I really must put more into it. I really love Filter Forge! What a SUPER COOL PROGRAM!!!! I wish I didn't have to work, (sigh)...
Anyway, I want to do as you both suggested, I just need to know how. You are both out of my league. I am trying. I keep praying I well get lucky and get a good one! Any words of wisdom I do truly appreciate.

Thanks to you both, for at least taking the time to help me.

Ron

If you'd like, I'll make a Switch Snippet just for you, so you learn how to use it!

Yes?

Here we go, whipped this up in about 2 min.
