So I cant join?


Just because there are over 230 members doesn't mean you can't join the fray. Just make a part and I'll judge to see if your part makes it in.

Do you not know how to read? Please read the thread carefully for I will be tempted on making a policy for those who can't even read the damn thread.

Yes, though it should be dabigE3_DOT1_Flash8, dabigE3_DOT2_Flash8, and so on.

A wall of names and emphasis on how "famous animators" are in it. Huge promises and fancy gimmicks.
Does the Dot Collab get a lot of "members" because the concept of the collab is THAT creative and original?
Or is it because the host went around websites and irc to suggest that this is a bandwagon for people who want to be seen with "famous people"?

This is exactly how infomercials work. Exaggerate the shit out of it and you have people crowding up.
You are buying a snuggie. Let's be a community based on creativity. Be your OWN MAN!
p.s. Demanding quality and acting like an absolute leader aren't really the traits of being a humble organizer !

I'm wondering why you posted these guy's Facebook pages when they all have Stickpage accounts and online aliases they use. It it just because you asked them on Facebook, and therefore their names get posted on this page? Most of them are probably going to use their alias anyway, I don't see the point of this. Seems more like an invasion of privacy. I wouldn't want my real name on here.

I get the feeling a lot of people joined either because 1) you asked them to, rather than them finding about it on their own and joining because of self-interest, or 2) they see someone they know on the list and they join because they want to be in because of them. You boast about having a lot of famous animators in this collab, most of which probably joined because of reason 1, so therefore I wouldn't be surprised if other people are joining because person "x" is in. Because it appears that most people are not joining through self-interest, you're going to get a lot of half-assed, unentertaining, badly thought out submissions. Yeah I know that sounded harsh, it's probably an over-exaggeration. That's not to say nobody is going to put forth all their effort, but you're kind of giving up quality for quantity. 200+ people is a LOT. Soon the only people who would want to watch this collab are the people who are in it. You'll get no outside viewers, because nobody wants to see a 20-minute flash involving random bullpoop happening to a dot. I'd like to see some genuinely creative parts in this, I want to be entertained (as in, no stickfigures splurting out badly written text trying to be the next world-famous comedian).

By the way, I'm going to stalk and rape everyone on that Facebook list.


Surely that does make sense. >_> Though I'm not the one that invited almost all of them.
-updates list in a moment-

Also, the way how you said I am aiming mostly at quantity over quality, here's the thing.

I am allowing everyone a chance on joining and a chance on making a part. But, I'm only allowing quality parts in. This way, I can tell each person what to do or mainly focus on instead of just rush through a part and just give me the most crappy I've ever seen.

I one hundred per cent agree with oreo and jombo. You can't say a reason for people to join is because of good animators, or famous ones. If you have a good concept for collab, you don't need to continuously invite people to it. If the collab has a good concept and idea, original, creative, you don't need to do all of those things, people will WANT to join anyway. And saying that there are famous animators involved full well knowing that you know people will join because of them isn't good. You should always focus on concepts and ideas of a collab more than "how many people are in it". For example, Run. Run is an amazing series of pass the fla collabs which have excelled because of it's simplistic and creative nature. And it doesn't have many people in it, yet it still is awesome.
