I left the
forums after I posted this.
Why am I upset at the forum?
First of all, there isn't a place to just go and talk about video games or anything casual.
I thought there would be in any other forum- but no.
All you guys have here is a place to put your stuff and leave. There isn't anything to keep you here. Unless you wanna hang around your topic or go looking at others.
Oh, and a complaint thread? Nice. You guys knew people would be moaning about how BLUNT this place is??
But back to my point about topics- one you comment in one about criticing someone's sprites or comics, after a few posts you can't really post in it because after three or so they have already mentioned so it'd be dumb if you re-said anything.
You can only post your sprites, drawings, comics and stories.. THAT'S IT?? Come on, it's like "Leave your shit and get out!"
This is probably one of the worst forum layout system I've ever SEEN.
And even in other forums if someone has something wrong with their sprites or comics, they tell you that and usually how to fix it up. But here, no advice to others.
I've seen a few topics that had NO posts form a few days or so before I joined. I mean, yea sure no one really likes new members in a forum but still beginners need to be corrected.
And speaking of members, the only ones who get posts in their topics are the veteran members form way back in the day- regardless of spriting ability.
I would mention a name, but I wont.
Overall, the layout is horrible, lack of communication between forum members as a whole, and an overlooking at new comers unless they ask for sprite sheets.
One of the Mods of the forum decided to talk to me over MSN after my post, and he doesn't blame me for leaving. I explained that the forum was blatantly belittling the new forum members by ignoring them, how can one improve without critic? Any critic no matter how obvious it is should still be said.
So go forth and critic me on this drawing while your at it

Okay, it's not so bad that you left the forums. Big deal, you have some reasonable issues.
Here's where I have the problem with it.
Your reaction and unwillingness to deal with the issues and try to get others to follow on is what bothers me. You've lost my watch.
You've also lost my respect.

*shrug*
It's a forum there so you can submit sprites to MFZ. Be thankful that there's even a spriting forum there. Damien had no intention of having any kind of general forums there to begin with. As far as favorites and cliques go, EVERY spriting forum has them.
Your reasons are understandable, but your reaction seemed a bit immature.

Great art, great expression in the image, bad way of getting the point across though. No offence...
