Lately all he's been doing is talking about how terrible he thinks the forum and its members are. I don't understand why he doesn't just leave.

Quick browse of this thread leaves me with a few impressions; firstly, it's that StickPagians are as stubborn as ever (Remember StickPage when it it disappeared in 04? Remember when the Portal first came out? Yeah, same story!) and that's just to be expected from such an old community, that, with the greatest of respect, has been user-managed for so very long.
The second is just as obvious; forums just don't like other forums for some reason... StickPage, StickSlaughter, Pivot Animation, FluidAnims, DarkDemon and PowerFusion all have or had more in common than just stick figures; they had an irrational dislike or fear of the other forums "X is full of spammers, trolls and morons" insert any of the previous forums in there and you can guarantee it's been said on a different forum.
All in all; StickPage was a great site, it inspired me to animate and was my first real forum, I was genuinely a bit upset to see the state it was a few months, and for Stone to try and bring SP back from the brink,I have no problem with that, all the power to him; those complaining; why? Honestly; what have got to lose?

Quote from Chunkymainly because it's an over reaction to what is basically nothing, all of you fluid anims types are basically autistics, not going to lie
your typing like big paragraphs to bullshit threads and replying with retarded shit like 'haha! i wish i could be as funny as him!' because you actually have no room in your tiny minds for any original thoughts
i mean, i'm sure in time you guys can learn to not act like faggots, but really you're all acting like faggots right now
90% of the people here are faggots as well by the way, i'm not going to stereotype against anyone from FA as being the only faggots here, but i'm not going to lie and say you're not faggots though cause you are all acting like autistics
All I read from this was, "Oh no! They're posting big words and lots of them! I better start accusing them of having a mental affliction so I don't feel like such an idiot because I'm so overwhelmed by all the big words and respectful debates!"
Quote from SacredI know my limits. I don't go out my way to call someone a living worthless piece of trash. I actually barely do that. But when I do it's because I know the other guy isn't going to take it to full heart. No I've never been to FA because I never felt interested. I was never really interested in SP either as time carried on. I was actually here mainly for a stop on by to check up on things. This merge is just happening at the same time.
And like I said before what I was saying was just speculation. I know there are reasonable dudes over at FA that have a good sense of humor. Just look at you and Grim. You guys seem alright in my books, even though I'm sure you wouldn't give less of a shit (I know I wouldn't). But from what I've seen from the initial wave of FA members coming in here, a good majority of them seem to be hoping they'll fit in. I'm all for welcoming you to a new place, and obviously this place needs to live up to it's title of Stickpage, but your forum is much more animation focused than we are. That's why I'm confused by all of stone's talks of a "divided" community of animation goers. From what can I tell, FA was doing FAntastic. It was a well brought together community filled with loads of talent. So the fact that you guys moved over here is confusing and in my opinion unnecessary. Not for our benefit, but for yours.
But I think what Index said earlier really hit the nail on the head. It's that honestly a lot of the talent on FA would be more widely recognized by the internet by moving it over to SP. Let's be honest SP gets a lot of traffic from people mindlessly exploring the internet. If anything FA should've instead started advertising around and making itself known to people. You guys should've maybe gotten your name out on Newgrounds rather than here. Because I'm sure FA isn't just stick figure based.
But what's happened has happened. I'm not trying to stop you guys from merging with us. I'm just being skeptical.
That's fair enough. I think the general idea was that Jay was buying much of the animations from FA users anyway, which sort of directly conflicts as the two sites were sort of against each other in terms of trying to take the spotlight. From what I understand, getting rid of FA and moving it's community to SP is a move to end pointlessly having two sites with the same goal. Much in the same way Valve will buy up smaller developers and give them the resources to do what they want. It'll take some time, but I figure we can all come to an understanding. Personally I'm not one to say, "it's this way or get out."

The only reason us fa people ( well some of us) don't like your forums is mainly because every single button is not were they are on fa. So, some people automatically get blinded out because it isn't exactly the same. I know, sounds stupid. But it's true, by everything not being where they're expected to be, everyone asumes it isn't well organized. Nothing is blamed on you guys here. :3 About the members, I get the frustrations. I don't blame them.
Feb 2, 2012 6:48 PM #586378
No we're unorganized. You don't even have to be nice about it. We know it.
Feb 2, 2012 6:49 PM #586379
unorganized how?
Feb 2, 2012 6:49 PM #586380
Well, actualy it isn't that bad. I've browsed everything around a bit and now I'm able to find my way here;)

Personally, I prefer it when websites have a unified layout. I hate it when the forums and the website feel like two separate entities with different layouts.

With that being said, that was FA's issue also. Hopefully in the future we can integrate the design DIRECTLY into the forum layout. So they are one 'entity.' I think that what FFA is referring to is just simply realizing the things he/ other users/ have to reteach themselves. Well, more so reteach new habits and locations of buttons in which they never had to think about before. There minds would just unconsciously click where they needed to go by memory.

Quote from Indexunorganized how?
Well the forum was dying and was lasting with a few spontaneously posting members spewing pointless threads. And then apparently there was two hacking attacks on these forums. Then we had the major 2010 reset sending us back to this plain layout. Then we were left with 0 mods and just TheSaw as an admin who would occasionally visit. So we basically became an open battlefield for anything such as shock images from Mutton.
Feb 2, 2012 7:05 PM #586408
Alright I just want to know if the battles of rhg would go on and not fight some one blindly with no information about there resources or abilities. But I'm happy that this question was answered and now I'm relived.
Feb 2, 2012 7:08 PM #586415
I don't see how that = the forum layout being unorgainized
He was talking about the locations of buttons and stuff.

Well we're in a default vbulletin layout. It's organized in vbulletin standards. But hey at least we don't get as much bugs as the newer skin.
