As a scroller, is it important to you to "know" the designer of the patterns you use to create your projects from? Do you like the idea of having access to and talking with a designer on the forums or by email?
I've noticed on some forums there are threads where questions are asked of designers or authors. In some cases these questions go unanswered or take a very long time to hear back from the designer/author.
I remember back years ago, (before forums) when I was working on a couple patterns by a favorite designer and I tried to reach her when I had a question. It turned out the question went unanswered and I didn't do that project after all. It gave me the feeling that she didn't care after she had made the sale and although I still liked her patterns this feeling remained with me.
Do you think designers/authors should be more interactive and mingle among the scrollers on forums?
Take care
