You complained about no one admiring or thanking you for the ascii work you did, but then post a large collection of other people's art without even a mention of who did what. This sounds like hypocrisy to me... Have I touched a raw point? As for myself... I make zero requests of anyone. I ask for no responses and I don't get upset when people don't respond the way I expect them to. I don't post original Art. In fact, I am one of the group that all arts require. I am part of the audience, and as such, I am allowed to comment on what I see. I'm sorry if you don't like it... If I find a piece that I think is particularly amazing, I usually drop a note to the artist, and always keep their signature with their art. Isn't that what you said you wanted from people? Really, I think you need to grow up a bit. All the best e.
