Thankfully I'm allergic to serotonin so they've never really held too much sway over me... though I suppose an alternative theory would be that I'm simply out of touch with The Youth™️, but I prefer my other explanation.
Thaaaaaat makes sense. I'm guessing pandemic related matters probably haven't helped with regards to things being hectic? And life lessons are good, if sometimes uncomfortable in the moment(s) that one is undertaking them. Its been largely the same on my side to be honest with regards to that. I'd like to think that I'm less of a conceited jackass than I sometimes tended to be in times past, if nothing else. :V
I'm getting out of touch too cause I can barely manage on Discord and such places anymore, but I also don't know where else people even go at this point.
Pandemic related issues have seemingly been much less bothersome than my other life stuff, but it has definitely not helped being stuck inside a house all day where its easier to realize such things going on. They are, just, ugh, they dont need to be painful toooo. That is def a plus side of them and I can say I've grown a lot too from them all, but man, i'm just having too many in such a short time and I feel its wearing on more than just me. Hopefully thatll change soon with me next self-improvement work though. 👀
Super sorry for late reply, I adhd'd and forgot to respond like twice, and then oops, its been two weeks. -

Damn kids and their Discord servers (presumably) killing off chat threads and forums in general. :T
Hullo. How goes?
Honestly, prolly Discord and every other instantaneous serotonin filling app.
It goes....all over the place. Life has been hectic and I've had to learn a lot of life lessons as of late, but i'm making it.
How goes it for you?

This thread is pushing up daisies, I see. :V
It has been for a while, yuss. Even I've somehow given up on it.
Hello, old pal.

I definitely don't think about this place anymore. I still have email notifications though so in the rare event there is a post I do see it. Always a weird feeling seeing them, was 13 years old when I first joined and now I'm in my third year of college during a pandemic
I joined way back in 2012, Just after graduating high school.
I'm in my late 20's now. I feel this spiritually.

It might just be me, but I figured most forums by this point were a dying breed. This one looked active enough at one point, but sadly for me, not in the right ways to actually pull any interest back.

I don't think many even look this way these days. Hell, even I don't actively refresh my tab of this page whenever I have to re-open my browser like I used to. Lurking has become a small chore at this point, ehe.

Umm...
Nice, gzs.
I almost maxed. But, then I didn't cause I kept getting sucked into PVM.
Only 3 skills left, so wheee.
What all do you still have left to do in that silly old game?

I still follow the thread too, but I've become very busy as of late now that I'm in college and have like, a life now. I pretty much entirely stepped away from anything MLP-related altogether until pretty recently. With the whole quarantine thing I was just reflecting on stuff and saw the same old forum notifications popping up in my emails and thought I'd take a peek back. But yeah, pretty slow in this old thread now but people move on and things change I guess.
Well, hello there, Punic.
Yeah, I still dabble in pony from time to time, but its just about dead for me as well. I've wanted to get back into a bit of smaller communities for it to see if I could get anything to stick, but man, that just sounds like so much extra work to keep something alive. I'm also terribly bad at making friends still and bleh. More active groups would be nice in this lockdown though.
Stuff changes with time, yeah. Sad to see it all go, tbh. Though, I prolly wouldn't be as sad if it had a decent little bang instead of the whimper, but hey.

I was going down memory lane (typical 3am shenanigans) and seeing some of these old posts/members is kinda crazy now. I feel like a site boomer at this point, despite not posting much. I know most people probably flocked over to the discord, but is there any one still following? Just curious.
It was big before we went back to using an instant messenger
Yes, hello, fellow chat boomer. Welcome back to our poor, poor chat thread lmfao.
I actually still follow the thread, but like...it's legit nothing going on anymore and no one really tries to even put forth a simple effort so hey, even I've just about forgotten about this place. Sad to be able to say that, really.

Meanwhile, I've become far too distrustful with art advice...
Is that OK?
Not really, imo. That just means you'll bypass anything proper assuming its bad or just not seeing it in the same light.

oh, pfft, no. That's not even relevant to that at all.

why tho
edit: oh wait i know why
find a furry meetup somewhere and just be that person who shows up covered in pony gear
Why exactly? I don't think I ever told you anything.

Same, actually.
Also really, really, really subconsciously angry too. Huh.

16 minutes ago, be my waifu said:
oh damn i got it already
if you read this hello person that gave me this badge it's neat and i wish i knew there was going to be an mlpf meetup because we would have hung out with all of you instead of just taking a picture and dipping out at the very end of the con
i miss this place and it would have been cool to catch up on forum happenings
I told them for you, hun.
Also, did I not tell you MLPF people were gonna try and do some things together? Though, to be fair, iirc the stuff they went to do together was like, dinners and such moreso than just run around the con together. Dinner and breakfast would have been a bit odd without actually knowing people, imo.
Also, I totally wouldn't mind actually trying to get into this place again, but I really don't see that happening very easily, tbh.

2 minutes ago, be my waifu said:
sure, they look pretty neat
we didn't really hang out with the forum crew though, so idk if we should even be asking lmao
Too late, you're getting one and you're gonna like it. Besides, they weren't handing them out for being on the forums or hanging with them, it was literally for finding them AND going to BronyCon. Both of which we did, so.

haven im driving back to ur house right now btw

Do it, you won't.
Also, do you want me to poke Jeric for the badges we're supposed to have for going to BronyCon?

I need you to calm down right now.

I just don't wanna keep correcting people trying to correct me over a stylistic choice that's misinterpreted as something incomplete or made in error.
I'm no stranger to rejecting feedback either because it conflicts with my style or because I've tried it a million times without satisfactory results. I also don't wanna accept any feedback that undoes a style choice unless there's a compelling reason to accept it.
The issue is where the line between style choice and error is (and whether I'm being nuclear levels of strict again).
Cross out that last part; I'm being nuclear strict, aren't I?
A little bit, yes.
Also, late reply cause I always forget to actually do things over here, but hey.
I get the bit of not wanting to keep repeating yourself, but it's prolly better to just give a simple "ok/sure" or something of a better response than 100% cut it all out. You do that too much and then when you actually want the help it'll be that much harder to get it since everyone is going to outright remember everything told has basically been shot down totally.

I'm just going to outright say that a "no-advice policy" is literally shooting yourself in the foot and with some kind of slug round at that. Only made worse with the mindset of there being "self-proclaimed true artists" when being an artist in general is already self-proclaimed to start with. Not to mention it has the vibe of sort of an anti-elitist way of thought, in that it's basically an elitist idea, just backwards.
As for the rest of it, mistakes are there to help people grow. Dwelling on them isn't entirely bad, but you've gotta find a way to use those mistakes for improving. I've heard friends before say the same thing before and they all pretty much say the same thing in saying its rather hard to really push out or at least away for a bit, but that's where finding a work-around comes in. This doesn't mean do it every single time or go out of your way to fix them pronto. Sometimes, just coming to terms with them and leaving them be is the best solution. Granted, that can still be harder done than said, so yeah.
You won't develop a writing style if you actively avoid writing. I despise the style of my music production half the time because I always want myself to do one or two certain genres and with these certain characteristics, but I always fight against that and still go mess around from time to time and still make some good jams. I may not have a very distinct style at all, really, but its still _my_ style at the moment and it can only pick up with more and more practice. I'd literally never be touching my DAW if I just outright said no because its not a style I want.
I can't give any advice on helping with the dialogue problem, as I'm not a writer at all and I barely RP still, so I can't help there. That seems like something you'll have to come to terms on yourself. I'm not certain how to separate your own quirks from stuff like that and I can't say if its normally hard to do or not. I do know, its do-able with enough time put into it though.
Gonna spoiler for the size.

What exactly did you fumble up? and is it even really fumbled since its something you're making, you can always just try and work around it.

Of course they forcibly put that shit ass Discord song on here for today. So original.
Shame I can't figure out how to kill it off without touching my own volumes, ugh.

I don't have a good excuse other than I wanna screw stuff up.
I wonder what frustration level you have to be to use a divination hole (energy rift) as a garbage disposal...
Yeah I tried to do agility during DXPW and the XP rate was mindnumbingly slow.
Hmm...
Fair enough, ha. I actually know how that one goes, so I feels ya.
A very high one, hopefully, cause that's terribly rude and disgusting. D<
Why would you use something like that for your trash anyway?
That's basically how I felt while doing WC. I always thought people said it was one of the faster ones, or even one of the fastest (or was), but man, I only managed to get from 81 to 86 somehow.

I'm not sure which is worse, the fact that I went out of my way just to deep-fry one of my own in-progress images or the fact that someone went out of their way just to make a deep fryer. (I'm sorry for the cancer, by the way; those California cancer warnings only work in California.)
Also, agility and div-div sucks.
im not sure what your purpose was slapping on all the meme filters for something that isn't even memey.
Also watch your mouth, heathen. Div is ok, sometimes, but not most times.
Agility can burn in hell though.

I honesty sorta do get a little trickle of happy nostalgia remembering or seeing even a little bit of use out of this place.
and that's really sweet to hear after all this time of this place being dead, punic, I care about you and the other users this place used to hold a chunk too. I'm making it with some extreme construction to myself going on, but hey.
