It said one can write any thing under the sun
but WB ain't any fun
any more.
the best writers have gone off to sleep..
polling comes very slow and infrequent..
all my old pals have left since long..
missing them lots!
the remaining good ones write anon
fearing for their polls
Mondays are real bad
for no body votes
too big a competition
to get into top three!
then having earned enough cash (points) for the whole week
pockets jingling..remain unseen till next monday..!
I'm afraid WB's no fun any more!
i too am thinking seriously to quit ...
me, who prodded others to keep at it
FB anyday is much more fun!
at least i can SEE the guy the gal am talking to.
chat when i want to
some 1 says hi at least,
sum1s snap, sum1s pose, hispost
.. much more hilarious than dreary this!
i feel lazy to upload pics with my posts
none reads 'em much anyway..
there were days i would long to be on this, early morn
ah! for those days
now sore unhappy i push myself..
to yet another halfhearted routine..
i tried to go on and on..
my feet now dragging
i wrote of many things under the sun
thots evaporated, zeal gone
it ain't no more any fun!

No one polls on things that are seriously interesting!
It all depends on so many factors, the title, the post image that you upload, the initial text of the post which appear on the recent posts page, length of the posts. The writers need to learn these dynamics to attract readers. This is one harsh truth which the professional authors face in the real world outside writerbabu.
The system was created for the true and free expression and I didn't had this number of poll as my priority. I totally agree its one of the most important thing and I know the system could be more efficient to cope with the large number of posts which compete for reader's attention. And I actually have a plan which I am going to execute soon to cope this demand.
Also one appeal, please share the posts which you like through your facebook or twitter accounts if you want to get more readers. You need to do something to get readers in addition to all other efforts that are being put in. We really need your support.
And write for the joy of writing ... writing is always fun ... expectations sometimes spoils it ... right?
so just keep writing ... writing is fun ... :)
polling is a major factor, yes, especially when it is the number of polls here that seem to decide whether you wrote good or not.
But that's from a writer's point of view.
From a reader's point of view, for me, why the things have become so.... dull recently is because there doesn't seem to be any real effort being put in the writing. No passionate takes on life like Sneha once wrote or the light hearted almost childish one that Astha is so good at or even the sense of enjoying small things with zeal that Mallu has become known for(and yes I noted that they are all women). Now it just seem like writing for the sake of writing.
For how much teenage flamboyance may seem adorable at times, it soon looses flavour without a dash of maturity.
p.s.- I really really don't want to read the copy-paste posts, the teenage angst posts or the dangerously infective disease called love posts. Please give me something mind-blowing that's 100% original. I beg of you!
P.S : FB v/s WB is not a healthy comparison.
peace. :)
people did appreciate my writings, and maybe call it my greed that i started expecting...sorry for that!
but somewhere down, it demotivates u from within...the lack of communication from ur folks around kills ur enthu...and mallu i totally agree that it saddens u wen u dont see old pals around...like i miss the writings of Ishan, Akanksha Akhouri, Ashish Chauhan (but recently ashish has written stuffs), even Samahir has also slowed down...and seriously i miss Ishan the most!!!
its said that we writers create the world of our own, lets keep its sanctity, eternity and addiction...
:)
Cheers for writerbabu...(y)
acknowledgement and a little appreciation builds us...and ignorance stikes hard and kills our enthu...
@mallu: don't worry mallu, I will still be at your service, working with my beloved WiterBabus, even if I become a superstar ... :P ;)
