*Sigh* apparently my opinion doesn't matter anymore. But really, I don't think that Stone can just change it all like this. SO MANY ppl don't like this idea. He will probably make some kind of changes to this plan to keep peeps happy. Or, again, it could all just be a joke.

Just because people complain
Doesn't mean stone will just change the idea

Just to say. Guys, fucking appreciate what Stone and Jeff thinks of the new system. Stickpage won't be FULLBODYpage because Stick figures will remain here. We still have the official competitions, guys. Don't be too butthurt or surprised as shit if RHGs will be changed as fullbodies. It's only the RHGs that will change, not the community itself. Stickpage was born to be a site of stick figures. Fullbodies are just a part of it. Stickpage is rated as the most famous stick community in the whole internet because of talented stick animators. Leaving stick figures is impossible... This is Stickpage. And Stickpage itself won't leave the stick figures. So stop arguing about how the fullbody system sucked. Not even I can animate fullbody, but it does NOT MEAN STICK FIGURES ARE ACTUALLY DEAD. STICK FIGURES WILL LIVE FOREVER IN STICKPAGE BECAUSE STICK FIGURES ARE THE REASON WHY STICKPAGE IS VERY SUCCESSFUL. Stone and Jeff aren't stupid enough to put away stick figures out of our lives...

I dont recall a time when your opinion ever mattered

I... I really said nothing about the merge... But really I mean, at least give ppl a CHOICE. I'm fine with the new system as long as the old one still exists. As long as that happens, I'm happy.

He basically said that before the merge there was no RHG system and the community was fine so even if this does fuck up the whole RHG code (which it won't) Stickpage will be fine.

Hi guys, I don't have a lot of time to read the whole thread as I'm currently busy celebrating Easter with my girlfriend and I'm also a bit unprepared 'cause I thought we were going to wait to announce this, so I'll try to answer some of the immediate issues I've seen so far. The new RHG system is still technically part of Stickpage, that is to say FA will not be returning as a forum so all of your primary chatting and communications will be done hopefully via this forum. I believe Jay is sponsoring the website by putting up cash rewards for the top RHGs across the site, I haven't been told too much information on how that is being handled however. I realize that a lot of you think it's strange that STICKpage is forcing a fullbody system, and let me tell you it wasn't an easy decision. I don't want to get into the politics, but ultimately the powers that be want to push for a wider audience so the decision was made to cater the system specifically to fullbody artists. Now, as far as I know this doesn't mean you have to have anime-quality drawings, you can have a simple character design just as long as there's more to it than a stick figure. I believe this is for the better anyway, because stick animation has always been about pushing your limits and getting better at animation. Stone can back me up better on this issue, so instead of debating that point, here's a teaser screenshot from the design. Keep in mind that I've used images I found on my hard drive as placeholders while I develop the system. The final product will have your custom RHG avatars and banners used:

Well if the new RHG system needs fullbody animation then my RHG: Op34 Is Dead -_- just hope they separate the fullbody RHGs and Stick Figure RHGs to keep the community together :/

Thou doesnt need to worry, keep practicing from the basics, I only hope that my friends here in SP is able to animate well and continue animating on.

I have one question, Can it be like cyanide-and-happiness fullbody? By any chance.

no no no on o n fullbody yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar

Amen to that man :)

WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT. JEFF.. You mean that.. Even fullbody, one does not simply only animate anime-styled!?
Thats awesome, but.. I don't know, it tempts me to do my anime style than other ones.

guys all i'm saying is that everytime someone says something, everyones like: DUDE THAT'S STUPID! U DIDN'T EVEN READ THE OTHER POSTS! Also, I didn't mean Stone and Jeff would stop because of complaints, they would do something because they would know that the complaints are a warning sign that everything will become less popular especially RHG's.

Yeah, like Jeff and Stone wasted blood sweat and tears deciding this. You guys should appreciate it. If you disagreed to their decision, stop being so disgraceful because they wasted half a billion brain cells for this. Those of you, stop being stupid enough to understand our new situation. We just went to the next level...

yo jeff, can we use madness style anim on the new system ?

I find this to be the main point why everyone is upset
Since they believe it must be oh so detailed
