I'm cleaning up my Watchlist

hey guys

during my term as a ^CV i have added almost every #group to my watchlist that is in any way related to the subject of skins and/or themes. it was a nice decision and a great way to somehow stay in touch with you, but now that my ^CV term is over i feel that there's no need to be a member or watcher of almost 150 groups anymore.

too many deviations in my message center are coming in every day. so many, so that i am no longer able to keep track with all of them. if at all, i can switch to some sort of speed-viewing-technique in order to give each deviation a quick glance and eventually manage to have viewed them all, but then again that's not what i want to do.

not to mention that while i'm viewing those deviations that are already in my inbox, new deviations will be coming in, so that i'll have to view an approximate amount of 120 deviations each day, in order to even come close to keeping track.


viewing too many eventually means that you're not viewing at all. you're basically just rushing through. the patience and thoroughness is slowly fading away and in the end you don't even have fun in viewing new deviations anymore.

rushing through your works or just viewing the thumbs of those works isn't fair. they definitely deserve better than that.


right now, we're talking about well over 7000 deviations in my inbox and new ones are added to the pile as we speak.

i intend to put an end to that. that's why i'll spend my day today with cleaning up my watchlist.

PLEASE ... don't be disappointed or don't feel in any way personally offended if you'll read an "OtisBee has left the group" the next days. each of your groups is great and i've enjoyed being a member/watcher of them. otherwise i wouldn't have joined them in the first place. it's just my very own personal feeling that if i don't change something now, then it may likely spoil the fun entirely.

i hope you'll understand
