Reply to Re: The Icey Article #2 - DMod Drought

While I merely skimmed through your previous article, I decided that I'd read all of your second article. I'll have to admit that I was disappointed in its mediocrity.
First of all, the subject you chose to cover was much too obvious to the majority of the Dink community. If you take the time to peruse through the message archives, you will find that many Dinkers have complained about the slow rate at which D-Mods are produced. I personally think that you should try writing articles that touch on subjects rarely covered on the board. It may seem difficult to you, but I'm positive that it can be done, and we'd all appreciate reading something we may not already realize.
Also, try to refrain from swearing (I know the filter got you once or twice), and keep your grammar in check. Doing so could make your article look more professional. You may want to maintain a vast vocabulary as well; readers often grow weary of simplicity, and many people will tell you that it makes you look intelligent. (Whether you actually are intelligent or not is another matter.)
Finally, I frankly don't think that articles should be posted on the board. Perhaps it's just me, but I find it disturbing, for some reason. I would do it in a blog or on my own website if I were you. I won't hold this against you much, though.
Keep all that in mind when writing your next article, and you may receive more praise.
