Think about it.............people, who have an insane love for animating sticks, have made a community for it. But, its just sticks, what about sticks, is amazing enough to put this much effort for it? People like Terkoiz, or Hyun and Jeff, they work quite hard to do the stuff they do. If its not awesome animating, its jaw dropping coding. But, its just for sticks. Black or other colored things made out of lines and a circle. I know we have adults on this website, and you would think, what the hell are they doing on a community or making it that's just about sticks?-But, that's not always the case.Where do you think it all started? And why do you think its so........addicting? Give me your views Stickpage!

I dont mean this to offend anybody in anyway. I hope you young and old Stickpage members have a fun time with this thread!

Well, humans draw sticks since we started to draw on the caverns, LOL
i think it's so adictive because is simple to draw, and with no limitations.
once you start, tou just can't stop. You want to be better and better, and see how far you can go

Stone and Neon-drane used to say something like stick figure animating is the purest form of animating because it really focuses more on the animation principles and not just the drawing. How many times have you been on Newgrounds and seen animations that had amazing art but very choppy animating and stuff? It's really interesting to see stick figures animated because there is a focus on the motion and movement that's going on in the animation. Granted, not everyone can appreciate it, so I would say it's a style of animation for animators.

This is on a very amateur level though. I'm sure most professional animators would disagree.

is simply fun, what terkoiz said (i remember) "Animating is just for fun", everyone who animates sometimes do that for job or for a competition, but i prefer just animate for fun

To tell you the truth, I didn't understand a single word Obi Rev said.

I always had a feeling that you were a bit slow.

The simplest answer would be that most fucks here can't draw.
