Deri Dority

Next month I am planning on leaving RB and not leaving RB for the first time.

This is my first time and I am a little nervous about it. So if anyone has any tips on the proper way to leave RB/not leave RB I am happy to hear them.

    leaving like how? for good….. or take a break? hope its not for good :|

  • Deri Dority

    Deri Dority, 6 months ago

    Hehee, no, I am leaving/coming. It is a popular thing to do. I see it all the time.

  • Darren Stones

    Darren Stones, 6 months ago

    Yes, it’s about time you considered doing this, Deri. I’m sure this move will be good for your view count.

    Firstly, maybe you could write an entire series of photographic tips over the next three weeks which have already been covered to death on the internet.

    When you’ve accomplished this, you’ll have an extremely high opinion of yourself – no question.

    Then, one person will comment on one of your photographic tip journal entries which will cause you to lose 3-4 nights sleep.

    You will then begin to feel you’re no longer a useful cog in the RedBubble machine. You’ll feel downright unwanted to a point of pulling down all your artwork, BUT increasing your watchlist to over 48 pages so people will add you to their watchlist.

    Upon reaching this point, you’ll know it’s time to “Officially” announce your intention to leave in a bitchy journal entry which mentions your cat has received death threats.

    When you gain at least 45 replies saying “don’t go”, you’ll be then in a position to say “Thank you everyone – I’ll stay”.

    I suspect this method will gain you more notoriety on RedBubble and you’ll then be embraced by those who want you to comment on their work on a very regular basis.

    See how that goes, and good luck with your official announcement!

    Ahhh. Thanks for the tips Darren. There are so many details to work out. For instance, how many pieces of art do you leave, just before you come back. I have noticed that some don’t take down any art. Is that really the best way to go?

  • Deri Dority

    Deri Dority, 6 months ago

    I just had a brilliant thought (or a duh moment, one of the two). Instead of taking my pictures down, I can just make them not public. So they are there, but not there.

  • Darren Stones

    Darren Stones, 6 months ago

    Yes – way to go.

    Consider this.

    Hide 75% of your artwork so you don’t lose your view count. think ahead a little on this one, because when you’ve reached 100,000 views, you’ll be able to announce this in a journal entry. RB newbies will be very impressed with your vital statistic!

  • Anne van Alkemade

    Anne van AlkemadeWordsmith, 6 months ago

    I think leaving your art up shows just how upset and distraught you are as you walk out the door. And it’s the best of both worlds … you say you have left, you have obviously abandoned your work, people feel sorry for the work and view it, or even better, they purchase it.

    If you take it down, the short attention spans of the majority of internet surfers will not be able to remember you when you return – and so there’s an advantage there too because they’ll think your brand new (even if you don’t change your name) and welcome you with open arms even if you have sprayed red paint all over their own works and slandered their names from here to Timbuktu!!

    I truly hope this advice is helpful Deri.
    ;o)

    Deri and Darren, thank you for making me laugh as much as you did. You made my day with this post.

  • Anne van Alkemade

    Anne van AlkemadeWordsmith, 6 months ago

    I’ve got to learn to write/type faster!

  • Deri Dority

    Deri Dority, 6 months ago

    Ohhhh, that is good advice. I hadn’t thought this through all the way. When I do “go/ not go” I could change my avatar to emphasize the going/not going.

  • flower68

    flower68, 6 months ago

    LMAO!!!!!

  • Deri Dority

    Deri Dority, 6 months ago

    Hmmm. My cat just received a death wish…..

  • flower68

    flower68, 6 months ago

    Name and shame before you leave….and come back.that way you save yourself immense embarrassment.

  • Darren Stones

    Darren Stones, 6 months ago

    Deri, you do realise that when I refresh this page it adds to the view count, don’t you?

    When this entry reaches 200+ views, commence another journal entry that refers to this one and provide a direct link.

    Your view count on both entries will be good for business. You might even sell a small laminated print out of this tactic.

  • Deri Dority

    Deri Dority, 6 months ago

    Ahha! Another great tip. And the person that I name of course would also have the option of leaving/not leaving, which would be a great benefit to him/her. I will need at least one volunteer for this whole process. Anyone out there that was thinking of leaving/not leaving in the near future?

  • Deri Dority

    Deri Dority, 6 months ago

    Hmmm. Trying to sell a print off of leaving/not leaving would be a shameless thing to do.

  • Darren Stones

    Darren Stones, 6 months ago

    Nice work, Deri. I’m sure that piece will be missed by the entire 26,000 RedBubble account holders when you take it down.

    I think you would have a better chance of getting into a fight if you don’t name someone. It creates a sense of mystery not knowing who you’re intending to get upset with. That will cause you to receive 50+ bubblemails from members wanting to know who has pissed you off.

  • Angela McConnell

    Angela McConnell, 6 months ago

    better yet you could air your dirty laundry in public – get your partner to join redbubble and start a torrid internet affair then start a bitchfight – going out in a jerry springer type fanfare of publicity!!

  • Deri Dority

    Deri Dority, 6 months ago

    Hmmm. I am wondering if it would be too contentious to have a leave/not leaving party.

  • Deri Dority

    Deri Dority, 6 months ago

    I know that this is kind of a naive question, but do I send out invites to my leave/not leave event?

  • Deri Dority

    Deri Dority, 6 months ago

    At least I have one step out of the way. I have already aired my dirty laundry in public.

  • Angela McConnell

    Angela McConnell, 6 months ago

    good work Deri – glad to see you are on the ball! also any excuse for a party….

  • Darren Stones

    Darren Stones, 6 months ago

    Deri, I reckon a little party music will get people flocking to the event. My recommendation would be for a BYO all drinks and tissues.

    Here’s a little party music to kick things off.

    If you leave me now – Chicago

    ok I’m putting this in a journal entry with a link just to make sure you get as wide an audience as possible upon your imminent departure/return.

  • Deborah  Bowness

    Deborah Bowness, 6 months ago

    Great idea about having the leaving/not leaving party Deri, I am so there!! Ok, I’ll kick it off….”Oh Please don’t go Deri, you’ve done nothing wrong, just ignore those small minded people etc etc etc!”....there, now all you need is another 44 people to do the same and then you can announce you are not really leaving about all!!

  • Carmen  Cilliers

    Carmen Cilliers, 6 months ago

    This is so funny, and why are certain names popping straight into my head?! LOL!!! I wonder if we are thinking of the same people. Great writing and topic guys… and

    Why someone who never commented or looked at my work before would annonce that they are leaving 8 hours ago and then 2 hours ago add me to their Watchlist????

    deri make sure you add everyone on RB to your Watchlist before you go umm err don’t go

    Deri Dority, 6 months ago

    I’m sorry if I took a short break. I have been in the process of adding all of RB to my watch list. Hmmmm. I think I only have 22,000 left to go.
    I also had another flash (a very brief flash mind you) of genius. If I turn off all my pictures to the public, and then when I “not go” reload all the pictures, people would then be inclined to comment on them as if they are fresh works of art (indeed, most people will have forgotten my art anyway, so they are fresh pieces of art). After I get the requisite number of views/comments, I then turn on the originals and my view numbers sky rocket. I then am able to make one of the famous “I am amazed, I have xxxxxx of views, all in a few hours.” post. Technically I would end up with the record for the most views in a short period of time (that would be another post of course).

  • Deri Dority

    Deri Dority, 6 months ago

    Now there is a thought. If people take me off their watch list and then put me back on at the Welcome back party, I will break the record for number of people that have added me to their watchlist in an hour. Brilliant idea BuddyH.

  • Randy Monteith

    Randy Monteith, 6 months ago

    ok now I am confused is this us welcoming you back or telling you to get lost, or begging you to stay????

  • Deborah  Bowness

    You not gone yet Deri (Lol!)? How many more people need to ask you to stay now before we can have that welcome back party?!

  • elliewinds

    elliewinds, 6 months ago

    LOL!!!!! when i saw the link in flower68s journal to this i thought ‘hear we go again…” i have to say – as i’ve seen this happen a few times – my first thought has been ‘GROW UP’ and my second thought is ‘wow, this is kinda entertaining’ and then finally, ‘man, i am way more functional then i realized…’ ;-)

  • Deri Dority

    Deri Dority, 6 months ago

    Well, I could combine all four parties, leaving/not leaving, begging me to stay or telling me to get lost and welcome back. Oh, and my cat has received another death threat.
    Well OK, I”M BACK EVERYONE. I MISSED ALL OF YOU! YOU HAVE PERSUADED ME TO COME BACK. PLEASE SEE MY PORTFOLIO AS I HAVE POSTED ALL NEW PHOTOS.
    FEEL FREE TO LEAVE COMMENTS. I HAVE COMPLETELY CHANGED MY STYLE. HOPE YOU LIKE IT.

    Glad you decided to leave/not leave, Deri. Everyone should buy one of your cards to make it up to you!

  • Deri Dority

    Deri Dority, 6 months ago

    Tanya, my cards are flying off the shelves. Everyone should try leaving/not leaving. It has it’s benefits. We could probably make Leaving/not leaving cards and get sales that way as well. From my experience, I recommend people plan ahead and send out leaving/non leaving cards. I am in the process of producing some now.

    digitaldavers, 6 months ago

    Deri, I was so happy for you about getting 2 of your great photos into the “Photo of the Year” competiton. But, now after reading this mean spirited, bad tasting, run of comments and inuendo, well, frankly, I think you all have gone too far! I thought “most” bubblers were beyond this kind of juvenile antics. You all have proven me wrong. I am SO upset, I am seriously thinking of cancelling my red bubble account. I would really hate to be associated with this caliber of people. Yes, yes, I will do just that! As of June 1st 2008 I will be dumping all my artwork and closing it down permanently! Thank you all for making me realize that people are just a bunch of uncivilized assholes. It has been an experience.

    Deborah, I highly recommend leaving/not leaving, now that I have done it. I was nervous of course, since it was my first time. But I took a deep breath and plunged right in. With help from my fellow bubblers, I feel like I could maybe do it again some day.

    So here’s a couple of thoughts…
    1. Perhaps we should start an ‘I’m leaving’ group? Darren could be the moderator (until he leaves that is.)
    2. If I leave and come back in the same day, because Australia is ahead hours wise…then people in the states may not even know it’s happened. See what I mean?

  • Deri Dority

    Deri Dority, 6 months ago

    Melinda, that is a brilliant idea. For group functions, we could all leave/come back at the same time. And of course, there is the going away/staying party. We need to get the “Sad to see you leaving/Welcome back cards up and running. A whole new market.

    We cross to America’s Got Talent for a Live recording of a heart-rending rendition of Unforgettable

    Warning: Jerry Springer and David Hasselhoff appear in this video.

    hang on a minute… where is everyone’s journal entry gloating about how many views they are up to after the leaving speeches – come on people get it together!

    Well, I am coming then leaving. Just backwards from the traditional leaving/coming. I have been working all day today (it is my day off, so I am working, a similar concept to leaving/coming). So, now I need to get back to my day off/working like a dog.

    i must apologise deri – i just noticed your journal entry about your massive number of views… maybe i SHOULD jump on the bandwagon since it is so popular at the moment

    For anyone wanting to mount their own leaving/staying party, please read Darren’s tips above. Contact me for leaving/staying cards. I am having a special this week. 10% off my leaving/staying cards.

    Hee hee, seems everyone is on this bandwagon. Okay. Here’s my “farside” gist of this. If I said I was leaving, I’d stay depending on how many coments I got on my “That’s it, I’m leaving you monkeys” rant post. LOL XD

    Jokes aside. I did go through this feeling once, a long time back but talked myself out of it and decided to revamp my port and persona instead.

    Hmmm… 10% off leaving cards…

    Did I mention that all proceeds from my leaving/staying cards will be donated to the Cascade Raptor Center. Honest. Would I lie to you? What! Just because my avatar can’t hold a straight face? Hmmm. I guess I better come up with a few cards.

    pfft. seriously humans, we should take things seriously for serious reasons that need serious addressing on a serious note and everyone should take things very seriously because taking the micky out of mouse is serious issues that lead to serious consequences of a serious kind and need serious attention from serious minded humans in a serious manner – seriously… :0)
