It's been like 10 years for me, though I'm rarely here anymore unless I'm really bored.

Also, hi.

Having large chunks of time where I forget that clockcrew exists.  True story.

Food Processor
Kitchen Aid Pot and Pan set
Socks
Chocolate Orange
A new apartment (though that was a present from myself)

EDIT: A league of legends card.  That probably beats out the chocolate orange really.

I can't imagine that recipes or general food advice are the kinds of things that you're interested in anymore.  I can do up a sample of movies/video games/current events related to these items if you're looking for articles pertaining to that.  Let me know and I'll whip something up to pm you guys.

I don't have samples, but I'd be game to try this out if anyone needs a feminine touch or something.

What I don't get is kids today using double q's instead of g's.  Kids today are strange.

Don't ever let anyone tell you you aren't a classy gent.  Or a good leader of the people.  Ever.

I appreciate it from you the most, of course.

I'm sure that at one point having more forums and subforums seemed like a great idea, when we were getting more traffic and had a more active population.  You have to be able to adapt with situations though, and right now we're sitting at a point where it doesn't seem like a good idea to keep things so needlessly cluttered.

This is even more brought to light by you stating "without a doubt General is where you want to post something if you want everyone to get involved in the discussion.", leaving several of the other forums completely without use, as no one frequents them.

Quote from: CadillacClock;1793246That's a tempting offer.

Quote from: CadillacClock;1793237I wish to further discuss the possibilities of banning ShotglassClock while missing the point.


 
I am applying to Western and if I accept their offer, I fully intent to sleep on your coach and fulfill the role of "that guy on the couch".

You'd best get accepted boy.  I have a very comfortable futon with your name on it.

Quote from: FloundermanClock;1793227You're not gonna get banned, the mods are more chill now. Even biggs doesn't ban for arbitrary reasons anymore. Also we should change the coliseum back to the pokemon battle arena.[/i]

This is a viable alternative to my suggestion.

Quote from: Vuvuzela;1793221Why would you be banned?

I've seen issues in the past where people are banned for similar posts.  It's a possibility.

@Slash: Exactly

and that's like, totally cool and everything.

I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT I LOVE YOU GUYS, THE CLOCKCREW AS A WHOLE AND AN ORGANIZATION.  I'VE ALWAYS LOVED YOU GUYS, YOU'RE LIKE THE BROTHERS AND SISTERS THAT I NEVER HAD GROWING UP.  YOU'VE TOUCHED ME IN MANY WAYS THAT I CAN'T BEGIN TO THANK YOU FOR.  YOUR FLASH HAS MADE ME LAUGH.  YOUR POSTS HAVE MADE ME CRY.  WE'VE SHARED SO MUCH AND I AM GLAD THAT I COULD BE HERE WITH YOU FOR YEARS AND WILL PROBABLY BE AROUND FOR YEARS TO COME.

HOWEVER,

You're all a bunch of sensitive ninnies.  I realize that having never made a flash of my own, or really contributed to the community outside of the forums, and briefly time, I have no right to complain about the setup of this group.  I don't intend to change anything, I don't intend to ever hold that kind of power.  I just feel that I need to point out the obvious that has already been pointed out in several threads here on what's cleverly been titled Misc Disc.

Many (not all, but many) of the threads I pop into from time to time for my reading enjoyment are being poisoned with people complaining about the way that the clockcrew isn't what they want it to be.  It isn't pretty enough.  It isn't active enough.  What have you.  Well, you're pretty much got a few options here.  You can continue doing what you're doing now, which is arguing all over General Discussion like it was intended to be a complaints forum or you can quit the Clockcrew, since you can't really dislike something that you never see or aren't a part of.

There is a lot of talk about needing to bring in new blood or new animators to make the clockcrew strong again.  Isn't it just as important to try and maintain the relationship between the current members and the crew?  Over the years we've had a lot of very talented animators here, and several are still around.  You see them posting in the forums.  Why isn't more being done to motivate them as opposed to just pulling in new, possibly expendable members?  I'm not saying you need to start catering to every members whim and want.  I remember when the front page, or the forums used to be swarming with contests, or ideas, or suggestions for everything from collabs to shorts to pretty much any type of movie.  At the moment the front page, or TIEM isn't saying a whole lot outside of who won clock of the month in october, and talking about how people need to work on Clockopedia.  I'm not saying that Clockopedia isn't important, but I think that if the flow of inspiration to make flash movies is revitalized, likely the inspiration to work on Clockopedia files will follow.

Another suggestion I would make would be to condense the forum.  We don't need all of these subforums.  Having all of these separate little sections does is make this place look bare and desolate, which not only is offputting for current members, but it doesn't really encourage guests to sign up or take a real look.  It's depressing.  A lot can be said for a little bit of space management, and how it could improve the overall look and feel of the site.  There's no reason why Competitions & Events and The Colosseum shouldn't be combined into one.  They aren't different enough that they couldn't be put into one place, and be handled under one name.  I also don't see the need for Employment Opportunities to be it's own section.  There are two posts.  These could easily just be posted in General, and it would get more attention.  Or if someone has a job posting for a flash artist, it could be posted in the hybrid competition colosseum forum, and if someone had a web designer posting, that could easily be posted in general or computing and programming.  Wherever the poster deemed it would get the most views.

I have decided to post this little suggestionfest in General Discussion, as opposed to Site Feedback, because I was a bit turned off by posting in Site Feedback when I saw that the most recent post was made in a thread entitled "smiley requests go here ok".  The posts being made in the feedback forum are not the most commonly talked about or important things to you guys.  Why aren't you posting your actual problems there?  That's why that subforum exists.  I see posts being made there by Dwarfinator and Clammo, so they're obviously checking up on posts being made, so there's no reason for this type of stuff to spill over into General.  Not this much.

So, there you go.  There's some suggestions I have that DON'T involve what I assume would be that much coding work, don't require vast amounts of everybody's time, and could potentially liven this place up again a bit.

Recap:

1) Post more contests (not involving rewards, just for the sake of fun), collab idea, flash ideas for people who aren't feeling motivated right now to give them an idea instead of bitching that no one does anything.
2) Clean up the forums so that it gives a bit of an albeit somewhat falsified morale boost.  It feels nice to see less forums being visited more frequently, rather than having it spread out.
3) Make Tiem have more to do with flash rather than Clockopedia and the like.  Remember, people won't be motivated to work on Clockopedia likely until things get moving again.
4) Quit your bitching, quit your sass, don't take things so personally and utilize the Feedback Forum.  It's there for a reason.

PEACE

P.S. This is directed at everyone.  Moderators, Admins, Clocks, Whoever.  Nothing is directed at a specific person.  Everyone is at fault here, and no one is taking responsibility or making little changes to fix things.  I'm included.  I'm aware of my faults in not doing anything or taking action.

P.P.S.  I have no issues with receiving a ban for this.  No one ever said voicing my opinion was going to be widely accepted as a good thing.

The internet, as whole, is a very boring place.  People have their Facebook/MySpace/something called Twitter or something that they spend the majority of their internet life on.  They spend a portion of their time playing video games, and another portion of their time watching pornography.  When all is said and done, these things only have so much entertainment value, and when that is entirely used up, you have no real choice but to come back to the clockcrew and see if there is anything interesting going on.  

Which usually there isn't.

Though I am enjoying watching everyone bitch.  That's keeping me coming back right now.  I'd like to say that I came back to get inspiration to contribute, but I've never made a flash in my life, and I don't plan on starting now.

Sup Doc.
I've been doing a whole lot of nothing.  Mostly just deciding what to do with the rest of my life.  I still have no clue.  Until that time comes I'll keep being a corporate shill for Capitol One.  Oh and having a baby.  There's that.

Since when do we have a professional appearance?  Since when do we have a mission statement?

Since when is everything so blue?

I was looking at some of my old names and realizing that I've been Flaccid Francis for quite some time.  As much as this name is an instant classic, I'm bored.  Should I bring back Man Tits?  MENSTRUATION?  Any suggestions?
