So, I was reading a doll blog and it got onto the topic of instead of people massively editing bases, it would be better if they make their own bases and contribute to the doll community. Now, I don’t agree with their comments on base editing but I got intrigued with their idea of doll community.

We all use the term "doll community" but what does it actually mean to us? Is it really an appropriate term to use? From the viewpoint of the blog (both author and comments from another), it seems to me that community implies contribution – making bases, tutorials etc. Seriously man, I have never thought of it like that.
I guess I've more thought of it as a dolling network.

So...in the grand scheme of things, am I really a contributor to the "community"?
Do I make bases? - not really.
Palettes? - bugger off, they’re mine.
Tutorials? - man, they’re so archaic and I really have no intention of updating. I don’t even enter or run contests anymore. Seriously, Glam!’s redoll event is the first doll activity that I’ve signed up for in years.
All I do is spam the off-topics and occasionally give CC (which another of the blog's authors doesn’t seem to like but no need to go into that). Am I drain on the "community"? The equivalent of a grumpy old lady?

Anyway, is there a mood smiley for bored? I can't seem to find one...
And can I change the date on this thing? Because it thinks it's early Thurs night but it's actually late Fri morning over here.
