    Man, so cool to hear that! Thank you so much, glad you liked it.

    You know, I just joined the Kerbal Space Program forums and they use IPBoard too. But it amazes me how much more constructive the community is there. In these forums we have only 1 forum topic that explains the guidelines, which in contrast to the like, 6 pages of KSP guidelines it really baffles me.

    Not only they explain obvious stuff you shouldn't do (spam, post pornography, racism), but it also explains the user-to-user relationship that is expected to come from any person joining the website. Completely normal things here can result in a warning point in the KSP forums. If you were to post something like "ew... fad... please don't post this" then that would result in a warning point. If you were to post something like "nice", then that would get deleted by a moderator. The forums expect you to write something much more constructive and descriptive than just "nice wallpaper" and to be nice on the way you say things (AKA don't be rude), something that is so common in here and most people get pissed off when newbies don't react in the nicest way. And of course, discussing politics over there is completely prohibited. You can't share your opinions because it's explained it's not the place to do so and it often results in walls of text of arguing.

    Things like "dude please don't post more than 2 statuses at a time" would also get you a warning point, and basically adressing any spam INSTEAD of completely ignoring and reporting it will result in punishment, something that doesn't often happens here. 

    They basically tell you to shut up and be nice in your own way. Most problems we have on the forums here are adressed in those guidelines and guess what, their community is much more past those problems.

    I find it interesting.

      All the rules were why I decided not to join the public KSP community. It's bureaucratic in my eyes. Rollo's points sum up my opinion very well, the forums function well as they are. They aren't exactly the nicest place in the world but that's what you get when half the oldies bail and the community is rebuilt from a completely new group of people, creating a really jarring juxtaposition between the opinions of each side. Also, it gives us less work to do. ?

      Granted, for a large community, where its model is based around commercial and marketing reasons, I do feel like strict guidelines would work in that sense. Both to keep order and keep a solid reputation as a company. As well as age mentality.

      However as an animation forum, where everything is basically art, opinions and criticism is accepted(Somewhat), I feel like hiding, warning and deleting comments like the above examples would feel like censorship, and questions like "Where's the line drawn for an opinion?" "What is considered spam?" "is some opinions spam here then?" would be asked. I'd rather the forums didn't turn out like that.

      And to quote Rollo "They should feel like the forums are for more than just sharing your own creations.", I think that is 100% correct. I know plenty of members here feel like home & have made friends both internally and externally here.

      I also believe the forums here are actually quite lenient compared to other communities. I'm sure we all could name a few where if you broke certain rules over there, you'd get instantly banned or get your account terminated, where as here you'd get a point or 2 for that same rule. I think this system works. (Feel free to disagree, we're always open to suggestions)

      On the topic of the guidelines, not enough people read the rules as it is, I feel like fleshing out the rules to much will just have people skimming it, or not even reading them.

      I also disagree with with some of their guidelines, mainly 3.3 and 4.1.
      Mainly the latter, while understandable, if someones account got compromised by any means here, rather then simply saying "Your responsibility, not our problem ?‍♂️", we'd work to prove account ownership, changing emails, passwords etc in order to give them their account back. Which I have helped with once a twice here for members.

      If there's certain things in their guidelines you'd like to see here, we're happy to discuss them. And tell our reasons either for or against them.

      Good discussion nonetheless. Always open to new ideas here, even when it comes to the rules.
      That's allowed here. ?

      @Emunator That's a fantastic reply. Good read. This status was mostly for a comparison between two communities that function under different rules, it's interesting to see how things work in other ways for the better or for the worse. 

      Not really my intention to suggest any rule changes but it is indeed pretty cool to see how open arms and communicative the staff is and that's a good thing to appreciate. And I mean, not that surprising coming from a small community, but I guess that's also something we gotta appreciate. ?

  3. -StickyMations-
    It always baffles me how fast you get animations done. Do you like, animate 20 hours a day or something?!?!?!?
  4. -StickyMations-
    Noice, glad to see you could find the wallpaper anyway. Thanks.
  5. -StickyMations-
    ...Yeah the posing is not really appealing to look at... maybe look up any tutorials on posing. The use of another image made by someone else is not a cool thing to do, and it's not even sized proportionally! And it's not positioned correctly! we can clearly see the corners of the surface you put in: Honestly I'm fine with default characters, It's cool, as long as it's done correctly. You have lots of improving to do, good luck!

    Also you made a pretty common mistake of having the right arm swinging in the same direction of the right leg, same for the other left pair of limbs. When running, arms swing in opposite direction of their respective legs, and vice versa.
  7. -StickyMations-
    Jesus, it looks amazing! Seems very posable, I cannot wait till you release this rig pack! Also, since we're talking about spinosaurids wouldn't it be cool if you made the Spinosaurus from the third movie with this same amazing style? Not so many of those on the forums, just a suggestion. Great work!
  8. -StickyMations-
    goddamnit not again
  9. -StickyMations-
    Thanks but you didn't really miss it, I guess you just weren't lucky enough for me to see you and ask you for your skin
  10. -StickyMations-
    Well I guess you'd be not so well-known because you aren't exactly as popular as other members in here like say, Skjold. I bet you will become more popular over time.
  11. -StickyMations-
    Thanks, and yes, I just went around picking random members. I made sure that there was going to be a balanced amount of well-known people and not so well-known people as well. I just spent some time thinking "oh what about this guy, I should ask him" "Oh! What about this other guy, he's perfect"
  12. -StickyMations-
    Well your character just needed a pose that would make the wallpaper more dynamic and since I was running out of ideas i just posed him this way. And heck, making a full animation out of this would be hella hard Bro! And thanks, that sense of community was what I was going for. Crap, I had no clue you had a forum account since none of you 3 told me your forum names ;-; do Gabe and Hozq have forum accounts too? I would tag them too! Also thanks!
  13. -StickyMations-
    Yeah actually everyone else gave me their characters quicker than I thought, plus it's 4th of July for americans so let's just say I had to make this day even more special Thanks bro!
  14. -StickyMations-
    Aw man... Well... I just went around the forums hunting for random people, I guess I just didn't think of you. Thanks for the upvote anyway.
  15. -StickyMations-
    Thanks, I have to say again that it's worth it, I'm really happy it didn't turn out to be a total mess with characters everywhere. Thanks ? Damn, you bet it is. I'm really sad I forgot to put you in here it's almost a crime. ;-; Thanks anyway, I remember you featured me in a popular video of yours, I have to something with your character one day. You're already in the wallpaper, It's hard to see but it's there I swaer!!!!
  16. -StickyMations-
    WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME WHICH POSE THERE'S 23 OF THEM!!?!?!
  17. -StickyMations-
    Sticky has set on a spiritual journey to gather all the infinity stones in order to eliminate half of the forum members to bring balance to the website. The forum's finest heroes, developers, veterans, newbies and members of all types must set aside their differences and join forces in the forum's most ambitious crossover event to stop this imminent threat! MASSIVE THANKS to EVERYONE who were so kind to share their skins and character rigs for me to use in this wallpaper, this includes @BaconSandwich, @BoltedJames, @BBruce7815, @Che3syPlayz, @Rollo, @EthanForeverAlone, @Jake_28, @KaryuGraphics, @mbanders, @MachineGunInc, @MYSELF3200, @Nimi (I love you magneficent bastard), @Pigeon_, @9redwoods, @Skjold, @Swift, @tditdatdwt, @YoshiHunter, and fellow discord buddies Gabe, Hozq and Tug the Fox. And oh what the hell I'm gonna thank @david for giving us Mine-Imator. 23 People in a wallpaper heh? Total pain in the butt to ask one for one permission to use their character and pose them afterwards, but hot damn it was worth it. For the occasion I wanted to make a different type of "more-than-one-member-wallpaper", because since I saw that these types of wallpapers often include only people who are in a certain group/server/team, I wanted to include a large variety of forum members themselves to represent how diverse the community is. All the rigging styles, all skin styles, everything clashing together in one wallpaper. Thank you all very much! V V Get your own Infinity Gauntlet rig down here! V V DOWNLOAD No need to credit for the rig, enjoy it. Don't claim as your own. Thank you, everyone.
  18. -StickyMations-
    Actually: No worries m8, but I do feel like there is more than one who dislikes you. he's KaryuGraphics btw, cool dude.
  19. -StickyMations-
    It's such a cool thing to see a lot of feedback coming from the community. I'm glad people were this open to participate in the survey and share their opinions, gotta admit, there some pretty interesting answers in here... and the fact that we don't know who posted what makes it better.

      I don't see why anyone should hate America. If you're not in it, what do you care? And if an anti-American is in America, well you're free to get out(and be thankful you ARE free to leave)

      @Spontaneous Explosions ...the status... t-the status is simply a joke.... I'm glad that at least 3 people got it but thanks for ruining it ?

    Well if we are not happy for what it is we do have the right to demand better. I bet they will improve it for a better look, I'm still amazed at these GORGEOUS new features and even if the new bending kind of feels like the little pebble in your shoe, I guess it's now absolutely worth it to upgrade and not stay in older versions.
  22. -StickyMations-
    Forget the old bending, everyone. It's not gonna come back at the expense of more bending axis and other reasons pointed out, we must accept our fate my fellow comrades. ? The only logical path to victory as of now is to suggest a graphical tweak so it looks less disgusting to the eye, unless they have already something like that on the works. For now, let's enjoy these sweet, sweet new features.?
  23. -StickyMations-
    You know, points for both of you apologizing, thats pretty neat. And for a second thing... That is actually an interesting suggestion. It does make sense.
  24. -StickyMations-
    BTW @CookieFan I don't quite understand what you're suggesting, shortcuts for what? For animating characters faster? It does seem like a good idea. And to be completely honest Karyu and Swift didn't really give you a nice first impression of the community. They seem to have gone straight out to point out why they don't like this suggestion and in a somewhat rude way... ? You were being nice for the first replies I see. But anyway that doesn't matter, could you explain what you're really suggesting? I don't quite understand ?
  25. -StickyMations-

    Oi man I sent you a new PM, check it out because I think the notification did not hit up.
