Do you communicate with other Clocks, other than by posting on the BBS? Do you:
-instant message?
-skype?
-have close clock friends with whom you chat almost every day?
-have clocks with whom you regularly collaborate or discuss your animations with?
-use the chat room?
All of these except for the last one. I used to go there often though. Also, there are Clocks I talk more to than others.
I use IM programs yes, not with a lot of people though.. mostly Dwarfinator, Chicken, Asshat and that asshole Steve. Almost never about flash related stuff ..i do talk to Grey in real life but he hates you all and hope you all burn to death.
Quote-instant message?
I have epic conversations with Snake and Asshat.
Quote-skype?
No
Quote-have close clock friends with whom you chat almost every day?
Snake and English are my most frequent
Quote-have clocks with whom you regularly collaborate or discuss your animations with?
My animations? Ha! Got to be kidding me
Quote-use the chat room?
Can't get Java :(
Not really. Occasionally some clocks will message me, but they're usually not people I have any interest in conversing with.
I hate flash and will probably never use that program again.
I do talk to Clocks on AIM: Krogmatic, and anybody is welcome to message me. Don't be weird, kthx.
I probably talk to Frank and maybe Biggs the most?
I IM with lots of clocks a lot yes (I use AIM only for clocks even, all my real life buds have msn), sometimes about animation, sometimes about stuff, depends on who I'm talking to.
And I sometimes add clockfriends for the fun of it, but most of them are never on :(
Quote from: LeekClock;1576014-instant message?
Yes, with many different individuals
Quote from: LeekClock;1576014-skype?
Yes, mostly with Cat and Safe although sometimes with Discoball.
Quote from: LeekClock;1576014-have close clock friends with whom you chat almost every day?

Nope
Quote from: LeekClock;1576014-use the chat room?
I think that i'm banned from there, simply due to the fact that i like anime.

First of all, I love you LeekClock, you have been awesome forever ...
IMing is such a chore for me, I suck at typing.
I should skype more, but i'm self-conscious about being old and creepy.
Talk to roman clock, and randomly im people from time to time
I don't do any of these things but I'm not opposed to most of them.
I need to put some people in my googletalk contacts that talk about more than sex or robots or sex with robots, ie some clocks.
Also I have skype but I am invisible because these robots keep calling me for sex.
I am solenoidclock in both clients.
To answer these questions properly:
1. Yes.
2.Not as much, but sure.
3. Definitely.
4. They're not many, but there are some.
5. I used to go all the time, not so much now.
Yeah kind of. I have a msn category for The Clock Crew which I talk to Toyota, Splatter, Snake, Seed, Tricky, ampm and Zombie Lincoln the most. Also, Me and Splatter have fun skype prank calling. Also I go onto the Chat Room once in a while but its never that full.
But yeah, anyone's welcome to message me.
The comic I do has been taking up a lot of my project doing time.

I talk to clocks on AIM almost every day.
Quote-skype?
I used to talk on skype a lot, but I stopped 'cos I'm apparently really annoying/hyper when I talk with that.
Quote-have close clock friends with whom you chat almost every day?
Yeah: DiscoBallClock, NoodlecupClock, LokiClock and Flounderman I guess.
Quote-have clocks with whom you regularly collaborate or discuss your animations with?
Whenever I talk to clocks, I'm always like "HEY GUYS I MADE SOME FLASH MOVIES ASDFDASDF LETS MAKE A FLASH MOVIE DUUUUUUUUUR".
Quote-use the chat room?
Sometimes, but Clam made fun of me on it once. :(
low and behold I am talking to discoball on skype
Quote from: Solenoidclock;1576061low and behold I am talking to discoball on skype
Yaaay.
i'm an irc regular, talk to a few clocks on msn.
who wants to add me. I dont have many clocks on my msn. dont have im
Quote from: WobbuffetClock;1576056Sometimes, but Clam made fun of me on it once. :(
Then make fun of Clam's nose.
I try and talk to people on AIM, and I'm nearly always on.
I don't get on MSN much though.
I don't bother going to the chat because I'll probably just be banned.
That is one thing I remember from Co.uk.
Even though the forums were evil the Msn community was flourishing, people chatted away making plans and such: That is how anything was ever produced back then even though the overall Moral was lower.
Nowdays all my loveable clock chats are lacking and left is my solitude :(

Yeah, usually

You mean like real-life Clock friends? I make sure no one in the Real World knows my secret internet identity!
If you mean people I IM butt tons then yeah I do.
Quote-have clocks with whom you regularly collaborate or discuss your animations with?
Yeah, some
Quote-use the chat room?
Not that often
I often have msn open on which i have a long long list of clocks, but i rarely speak to any of them. sometimes i have aim open (which i opened because of this thread) which i olny use for clocks, but i also dont really speak to anyone on there much. i spoke to gir a couple of times on msn recently
I don't have any close clock friends and i don't talk to anyone about flash because i have no flash. I get the feeling that if I did, nobody would really care that much.
don't use skype coz i'm too lazy to talk, don't use chat coz triangle is a douche
thinking about, I'd like people to talk to me, msn: damaged_appendix@hotmail.com aim: YoYoClock
Quote from: Golden Clock;1576118The reason there aren't as many group projects is because people are lazy and don't care, not because they're not in the chat room enough.
also this
I rarely talk to clocks outside the forum.
Quote from: Golden Clock;1576118The reason there aren't as many group projects is because people are lazy and don't care, not because they're not in the chat room enough.
My understanding though is that people are not "lazy" but unmotivated, because there is no network of appreciation. If one has friends with which to get excited about their creations, that's the first step.

There is some truth in this. I was thinking about why I did flash, and the reason was simply for recognition, not by newgrounds, but by you guys, and I get the feeling nobody cares much.
The reason, however, that I get the idea that nobody cares much is because I don't care much about anybody else's stuff, so I suppose it's a never ending circle
I actually participate in huge gay clock orgies where we discuss the finer points of clock culture and contribution while jizzing in each other's faces.

I used to go on irc when Binary still frequented it and not everyone constantly gave me a hard time.
I also sometimes chat with cat and safe and roman and some of the other steam players.
I don't use skype anymore since the mic broke on my headphones and I don't want to buy new ones just yet.

-have clocks with whom you regularly collaborate or discuss your animations with? No, i havent made a decent animation in a long time
-use the chat room? Yes, but there is never anyone there, and nobody listens to clockcrew radio broadcasts
newgrounds, our birth place, our main audience, our hosting provider and our main source of reactionary expression, is a dead end
the concept behind the clockcrew, despite being developed over the last 8 years, is completely dependant on a vague, obscure, insider mindset that doesn't lend itself that easily to anything broader
the practice of associating your identity with a representative clockcrew character is pretty ridiculous and kind of freaks me the fuck out
but yeah ok ill go msn everyone ever now

Newgrounds may be a dead end in terms of the types of people we get noticed by and the amount of people we reach, but if you see the clock crew just as something fun and not something that's trying to become widely recognized then it's something that won't ever die.

ive contributed my fair of shit here, and i have made but one flash, to tell me i cant post here would be bullshit, and ultimately not just piss me off, but others as well.
Also i don't really talk to people, they always start the convos unless it's andy whom i spam for no raisin
Also, VOOOOI
I'm more involved in making stuff with real life people at the moment. Real life people are more reliable than internet people.

I think it's more important that you get excited about your animations than what your friends think. If you get excited you will be motivated to animate, if your friends get excited nothing will happen.
Quote from: CadillacClock;1576718ArcticClock was the worst Clock, ever.
Honestly, I don't see the hype to create flash. I would rather see continuous creativity and artistic growth than a series of half-assed animations.
e:
You know, like, making big Clock-costumes.
Then do that instead of making posts on the forum.
And the hype to create flash is because WE ARE A FLASH GROUP. Of course you can use other creative outlets, but making animation is the main pillar.
Guys everybody come to the chatroom! Just because nobody fucking jumps to talk to you as soon as you join does not mean that it's "dead" or "empty."
Yes Tri and Caddy and Biggs too can be assholes sometimes but you get assholes in pretty much every chat and there are still plenty of fun convos if you chill for a while! Sitting there and bitching about the chat being empty is contributing to the problem, when joining and chilling out for a while could be solving it instead.
And you don't have to use the default built-in chat client, you can download a client like Chatzilla or mIRC instead, which will give you a lot more functionality.
Quote from: Sombra;1576727Yes Tri and Caddy and Biggs too can be assholes sometimes
Except they are the ones running the chat.
Quote from: CadillacClock;1576730Remember when we created Internet Cult and completely trumpeted against it even prior to joining. Then held to the thought that there was no point in joining because you had already made such a fuss against it and would thus would be mistreated? When, had you just joined and acted civil, nothing would have happened?
Yea.
If by act civil you mean 'not be me' and 'do what we say' than yea, nothing would have happened.
Quote from: CadillacClock;1576732No, I meant "be civil". As in, don't make petty arguments over nothing or burn bridges prior to crossing them. Like, you know, this.
What bridge am I burning now then?

I'll instant message with whoever contacts me whenever I'm online, unless I tell you otherwise (sometimes I'm only on to talk to my brother or close friends). AIM is cableshaft.
Same with Skype, if I'm on. I choose to go on that less often though.
I talk to Snake, Roman, and FloppyDisk pretty often.
I've been a bit too self involved lately to collaborate, but I'm trying to change that attitude, especially now that I have more free time again.
I never think to go to the chat room unless specifically reminded about it, like you just did.
I became an internet recluse some months ago. Stopped using AIM, don't use Skype, never really went into IRC.
The CC was always someplace I could retreat to, but I even began pulling away from here for some reason.
But not so long ago I began kind of solely posting in the Biggest Topic. The atmosphere in there changed. It's sort of like a big chat room, and I've become closer to the other regular posters in there.
I now find myself checking the other forums again and checking out Flashes on occasion. I've even begun thinking about ways I can start contributing again.
I say all of this because I think it speaks to what Leek is saying. I do believe that keeping closer contact or having more relationships in the CC encourages activity and creativity.
Also, the BT is great. Ok, I'm done.
I'm not close to Losperman. ):
About the CC BT, I fully agree with Losperman. Thanks to it I got to know other members better. It's like a small Clique, except that anyone can join in anytime.
