A part of me, as an icon maker and an artist (and yes, I consider them separate), feels like I should be all "You jerk." But to be honest? I fully agree. Not so much the swiping, but the sentiment of how annoying and pretentious it is for icon/wallpaper makers to force people to join their graphics journal just to look at the Photoshopped pretty.

Really, guys? Didn't you make them for everyone to enjoy to begin with? So why can't everyone just come around and be able to see them without the runaround? You do realize anon above is not the only person who does this, so it's not like you can really keep track of who takes what (unless you're super anal, I guess).

All of this. Thank you.

ikr? Many people with locked comms claim they do it to prevent hotlinking, but unless their stuff is being hotlinked en masse at a place getting tons of hits, as someone on iconrants pointed out, the bandwidth used by a single hotlinker would barely register a blip on your total bandwidth usage. Furthermore, if a graphics comm has hundreds of members, is the owner really going to check up on every one of them to make sure they're being credited/not hotlinked?

Strikes me as a cheap way to get members, tbh

See, I have a icon journal. Now, I use photobucket and only make icons, so I don't worry about hotlinking really. And that journal has only seven people watching it, four of which are my friends. Still, even if I made banners/wallpapers, I wouldn't bother making my journal friends only.

First off, I can't help but feel that doing that makes you seem so arrogant. "My stuff is so good only selected people can see it." Um, no. Also, yes, it comes off as a desperate way to make yourself look popular.

I don't really care about popularity. I do ask for credit (though, I won't get that upset if someone doesn't), and I love, love, love when people comment; I admit, it makes me happy. Yes, it's a bit of an ego thing, but I have this odd fascination to see what people use for their keywords for my icons. I love when people get creative with keywords. I don't know why. I just love going through people's userpics just to see what they come up with.

But bottomline, I just want people to enjoy my icons. That's THE POINT of them. If I didn't want everyone to have easy access to them, I wouldn't have made an icon journal to begin with.
