Wait, what? Man, we are FAR behind quota now. Where are all of our members? Nobody even comes here anymore! We need to advertise, or give out coupons or something!

Maybe getting some noobs will bring more ideas to the table on how to handle our member shortage crisis, folks. Ideas?



Make some more competitions,like the winer will get original SPP T-shirt,or Mod for a week
make more ranks like
member of the moth
animator of the month
Most helpful,and all other stuff.

Then we have to go to all those newbie sites like "da BIG PIVOT PLACE!" and post our animations and say come to spp and stuff.

Holy shit. You really think that your ideas will work???

Let me link you to the biggest faggot ever to roam the stickpage forums.

http://www.stickpageportal.com/forums/member.php?u=5221 (Check out my awesome posts)

This was me two and a half or so years ago. After a few months of foruming, I decided that all of my actions were asshole shit**** dumbshit actions, and I should start a new account. I think by now I'm not such a huge idiot, and help out some of the noobs of today.

It took only a few months to get my act together on this forum, and it's thanks to the members of SP. It works as a system. You show up> You're an asshole noob****> we tell you not to do that> You listen or don't listen> You get your act together and have a good forum time or you leave or get banned due to faggotry.

Noobs are a profit to SPP. The pivot forum guys might get some money, pirate, or whatever, and get flash to get better at animating with broader horizons, or get even better at the shit they do. The easytoon forum is 100% or more better than the pivot section when speaking of maturity and forum etiquette. They speak english to eachother and offer helpful advice, as Pirate said.

Everyone here was a noob. No one was super awesome to begin with on any first forum. No exceptions.

The forums don't need closing, you need pills for your drastic fail, and I am going to sleep.

G'nite.

multi-accounting.
request ban?

you guys arent too great with just talking. Just because I suggest something, doesnt mean I think that is the best thing to do...maybe suggest something ELSE to do? Or explain it to me like kitsune did, which did kinda show me it would be a terrible way of dealing with the problem. So thank you Kitsune, and Chinaman, it does sound like you are overreacting. I dont see what is wrong with keeping them on intro threads and beginner animation threads for a while until they learn the ropes, though. That is the only way I learned, and people like James Moer are what we get when people don't.

Nope, its not like I'm mad or anything. He's just really really stupid and I was just illustrating the fact. I'm actually in a pretty good mood, or was anyways, just watched a semi-sad movie.


Quote from Chinaman
You are such a ****ing idiot. I'm not playing, I'm not trying to be funny. You really really are so ****ing stupid. How someone can be as idiotic as you and think the thoughts that you do is really ****ing beyond me. Really what I was going to do was take all your arguments and points and, you know, just debate against all of them. But really reading your points just really made me sad for you. I really do feel sorry for that your a complete idiot like this, I really do. Mass amounts of pity.


Using the word **** 3 times, mindless insults over jokes, getting too serious over a clearly jocular situation, and even looking down at and pitying the people who's opinion you oppose makes you SOUND like you're in a terrific and dandy mood I would say.

Well, raidforce, when you suggest something for serious consideration as extreme of a change it is, I'll assume you think it is the best route for the forum to take. =/

Jesus christ, it's just a forum. People do tend to be idiots.

Why so serious?

Look! He proved his own point by using a generic fad! Well done, sir.


Anyway, I believe the bi-annual member awards are coming up. Why don't we all wait with girlish glee together.

Why thank you. I do try.

But, really, it's a forum, we're going to get the idiots joining all the time, you can't change that. Removing 2 different sections which are frequently quite active wouldn't solve anything.
I don't get how the changed to have anything to do with awards, as If I remember rightly, the first post was about losing members, awards are seemingly fun. Fun brings lighthearted idiots.

WHOA, PROBLEM.

I think the only thing to do is go on a ban spree. Any noobish post gets a one month ban.

Everyone on the forum has to agree not to multi account if they are banned. If they don't agree then they are perma banned.


How's that for a ****ing plan.

But that just takes away all the fun...
