Moving your project solely to facebook and deleting all your posts here is probably the worse thing you have done, especially when it seems like your motivation is to receive attention, especially with a quote like this:

If you don't ask you will not receive. I'm getting to the point that I feel like I'm talking to an empty room. I'm pretty sure I'll probably have to take this edit and update it elsewhere.

Just because you don't get a lot of replies in here doesn't mean there is no interest in your project. Maybe you should have looked at the amount of views your page gets and not reply solely on how many replies you get. Since March, when you started this page, you have received over 3200 views, which is pretty good going for a few months. There are many lurkers here who follow many edits but hardly ever post anything in a thread. This doesn't mean that you are getting no interest in your project, but more that they feel they have nothing to say or contribute towards the edit.

Maybe you should have also been clearer on what people should search for in Facebook to find you. After a few tries i managed to find your page.

So it now seems you want to only share this with the elite few who "like" your page? Members only benefits? This is NOT the way to go if you want your edit to receive the attention you seem to crave. It will only serve to alienate people.

You would have been better off keeping everything you posted here intact and just used facebook to branch out to a different audience. There are many here that do not use facebook that could have been given you some very helpful feedback and advice. There was a member here called Anti-Matter who pretty much did the same thing because he wanted to move everything to his own self promoting website. Fan editing should never be done for glory. It should always be a personal thing and if it receives attention then that should always be just an added bonus, and never the thing that drives you.
