Let's just be real for a second. The winds on SG, ever changing, once again seem to have shifted. It seems to be a closed network as of late with photographers and models.... Message:If your not part of the club, don't apply. I have been contemplating letting my membership run it's course and expire the next month. It's definitely "The old girls club" as it were. This will guarantee it becomes stagnate and stale. Friends hooking up friends. I get it and it's cool. I can understand that but this is no punk rock free thinking website. It's just as much of a trendy elitist crew as a high school jockracy ruling body... Bully tactics and cliques like teenage girls. What posers. I know, you were punk rock from day one... yawn... bullshit! I'm not even sure why there is still a photography hopefuls group. There's no reason to interact... I watch the girls and there power trips run amuck. I've been a tittybar DJ for 12 years and the drama here may even be worse. I was told to give it some time and learn the ways of SG and meet a some friends. Well, I gave it a year, did indeed meet a very few friends but the system is flawed, no fun and goddamn it, the whole thing is a little boring. You didn't have to read this... but I did have to get this out... hence why it was in a blog & not a group. I don't really see where this is the alternative. That is just a selling, marketing ploy. I think SG lost it's way & lost what made it such a great idea originally. What a waist of such potential.
I have one more set to shoot & I think I'm out to grow one of the other sites.
Not trying to be a dick but some things need to be said and the truth is a bitch.

you know... I was thinking the same thing... It's a bit different from the last time I was on here which was like a couple of years ago. Only back on now, because I got an email saying that someone "missed" me and re-activated my account...
_miked_:
yeah... My old roomate and me used to check this out years ago and it was way cooler when it was a little grainer and real. Now it's just as LA pop culture as it's home office. Good for you. No reason to turn down a fee activation.
