GBS shits on itself. Never ask questions about anything creative in GBS, unless you're posting something you've already done. Don't ask people for help in GBS. That's what Creative Convention is for.
The SA forums are full of people have nothing to do all day but to post in a forum. Due to the heavy moderation and $10 fee, most of these people aren't as bad as in other forums of similar popularity - but yes, a lot are assholes.
Again, GBS shits on itself.
To be completely fair though, the way you just went in and asked for ideas wasn't the best way to approach it, even in Creative Convention. Not posting samples of your work was a mistake. And, you'll note that a few people did actually try to give some useful advice. Finally, SA has a healthy disdain of webcomics in general. A lot of people there don't like webcomics, don't like homestarrunner, and don't like Anime.
The SA forums are great fun to read, and great fun to post in if you have something to say that GBS would enjoy, or if you have a subinterest that is appropriate to another forum. You paid $10, so I encourage you to keep posting. I personally visit the forums more than any other website, and I have a ton of fun there - but I stay mostly in Trad Games and ADTRW, with occasional ventures into GBS. Just find your niche.
