DJ Yoshiman's Weekly Announcements - Dec. 5/07, Has anyone seen my agent?

December 5, 2007

- I'm contemplating removing the Sprite Rips forum and just having people post them in the General Chat. Really, it gets no popularity, I mean, even I don't check it, and the topics had no problem in the General Chat.

- The General Friendliness board is back, and with a mod, Tragedy Anne, who's great with art, so let's see if this thing holds up.

- Holy crap, how is our December Log only at 2 entries right now? You guys/gals are doing pretty good, keep up the awesome work and behaviour!

- The Music competition has more entries. Looks like this thing might work out after all. Meanwhile, I'm having fun pinning and unpinning the rest of the competition topics.

- MFGG's main site bandwidth exploded, but the games were back online on December 1st.

- The best thing to happen to the MFGG forums: http://wiki.mfgg.net/index.php/Time_Warp

- Bacteriophage is mod of the CCC, and has been editing away my posts as expected.

- Everyone's getting into the festive mood with the new Santa-Hat fad. This is one fad I'm not ashamed to get into.

- Speaking of the festive mood, please check out the MFGGecret Santa topic.

- SNAPE KILLS DUMBLEDORE, WHO HAPPENS TO SUDDENLY BE GAY. THANK YOU, ROWLING, FOR THE GREAT MENTAL IMAGE.

We need to get the IRC going..

Even I don't lurk there lately(Though i've been busy with Christmas stuff)

I'll try to play an active part in this once I get caught up with things.

Hmmm, alrighty then!

1. I can't believe we actually went this long without a warn.

2. Anne will be great as a mod. I'm sure of it.

3. I think I have the only holiday fad avatar without a Santa hat.

Yes, TA. Also, did I miss something? The Sprite Rips forum hasn't been removed.

It hasn't been removed yet, Yoshiman's considering it.

Every time I try to go there, It's like I'm invisable! I don't think I'm connected right or something and I know NOTHING of IRC chat!

Also, I wish I had an avatar to make Christmasy.

4 days now! That is great! I like the sprite rip forums though, it's convenient.

Yeah, but it doesn't get enough activity to warrant a whole new forum for it.

As opposed to the WIP/Sketch forum, which has already breached 8 pages of topics.

Then Refer to the Handy Dandy IRC Strategy Guide.

Located in the News forum as a sticky

Can't it be so, that the sprite rips forum is not restricted to just sprites?

. . .

Thats retarded.

Now seriously, before the urge to hit you grows.. explain.

the sprite rips forum could be expanded to textures and models.

Yes. I mean, there are 3D fangames.

Although you've hardly given it much time.

I think the main problem is there's a conflict with the Submit-It forum. Anything posted in that forum really should be for submission to the site (meaning that you also did not submit it through the site machinery), but I think some people are posting WIPy stuff there because they get feedback there.

Maybe sprite rips should actually be a Submission WIP subforum of Submissions. Either that or a Resource WIP subforum of Fangame Discussion.

Well, considering that in this same time, the WIP/Sketch forum has received 8 pages, while the Sprite Rip forum has... what, 8 topics?

But I could just change the forum name to the Resource WIP, as you suggested.

The GF is back?!?

I love you. Seriously. This was the only reason I had a problem with the CCC.

And look, a decent fad, too.

Anyway, why not post sprite rips in the art fourm. Sure, they're not YOUR art, but they're art, nonetheless.

I don't think they fit reasonably well into any forum.
