Sooo..... will there be a portal on SP? like in FA, where we'll submit our content freely?


yes, they're making it.

Also, I love your username. Does it have anything to do with the group Camila?

Yes, apparently there will be a whole new portal (that is being worked on at the moment). Will be really great to see Stickpage with a portal again. (I would really like to see us renamed to StickAnims, although I am not sure how that would go revenue wise)

I recently got back into animating, I'm actually really fucking good at it. Who knew?

Can you post something? I'm really interested to see how good you are.

I don't think it sounds right.

Well Zed. Neither does Stickpage. Or Fluidpage (that just sounds slightly sexual). In my opinion I think Fluidanims is the best name for the job. Although in doing that we would probably lose a lot of home page traffic since people would be looking for Stickpage.

We should come up with a whole new name.
Why does it have to include the words Stick, page, Fluid or anims?

Thing is, then we would have to change the domain URL ect ect. And we would lose popularity due to people looking for stickpage instead of what we change the name to.

Then we should put a notice somewhere saying we are changing names 1 week before we are. Like Wikipedia did with the blackout...

As for the URL. I put those plates on the admin.

I dunno about you guys, but I think Stickpage is just fine. The name has nothing to do with what the community inside is actually like.

Stickpage never really reflected our community in any way. Now it sort of does, however it remains incredibly cheesy.

Changing the name would screw this whole site over. Like Cronos said, people would be looking for Stickpage. Telling people about a name change in advance wouldn't work, I think. Many of the main viewers of this site don't come here on a regular basis. They would miss something like that.
Besides, it's been Stickpage for a long time and a name we would come up with would just be worse.

Yeah seriously, I remember visiting stickpage for years before I ever even went to this forum, it's been around for a long time. I'm not a huge fan of the name either but it doesn't make much sense to change it now.

I don't have much to show yet, really it's just the beginning of a 1v1 fight, maybe 40 frames or so.. thing is, I always animated at 20 fps (no double framing), with a focus on realism over exaggerated cartoonish movements, but I was never all that great at it. But what I've been making so far is just incredibly smooth and realistic, much more than anything else I've done. It's more of a technical exercise right now.

Guess it just surprised me since I haven't touched flash in at least 3-4 years.

stick page has a major history we don't need to change the name it already has a good rep we can announce the merge but the name should stay the same .

Meh good move from the way I see it, FA was most famous for the forum while SP is famous for the way it showcases anims, so combine them and you get some good shizz. :o)
