Projects are a great addition to the site for the selfish side of the hobby posting which we all do. I used to quite like the discussions that popped up in threads around people’s hobby but the way that Projects have gone shows most people didn’t. It makes sense to keep the comments hidden in the main flow but it discourages conversation from the casual flick through that most people are doing anyway. I mainly use them as a way to keep track of what I’m doing, paints I used etc. It’s more like hobby journaling than creating for public consumption.

I know it is a bit of a self perpetuating problem but I do have memories of forum threads being discussed on the Weekender and that leading to further discussion. Obviously each week these days it would be hard to have those chats but some of the best conversation amongst the community on the site happens in the Weekender post comments sections. It’s not easy to navigate in the slightest but reading through it each week is interesting.
