What makes you go on?

2- Search for recognition- Maybe this is a good reason, but not in such community. Most members aren't even in the development area and won't even notice how good/bad your work is.

Isn't it enough that the people enjoy it?
Recognition simply means to be acknowledged/appreciated for what you did do, it has nothing to do with whether the people who appreciate you are notable themselves. If you want to share something you've made with others, and they like it, does it really matter whether they can understand every layer of effort that went into building it? Isn't the real reward the fact that they liked your work at all?

You sure make it sound like this community doesn't matter... =/
