You

Sounds bad 

"Community, I don't feel so good"

@JjCinemas Zippety, you're one of the geezers too.

So many of you geezers are coming back from the dead

Hello

Bye.

Yeah, I agree with you people. 
when I first joined the forums when I posted my first topic, people were motivating and wouldn’t just say “bad lighting, bad rigs, bad animation” they would help motivate me to make more stuff, I would feel an urge to make more content because of the support I would get, but don’t get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with giving tips and things, but back about 2 years ago, people would be kind about it instead of just saying stuff like “this sucks”. 
What I am trying to say is the problem is whenever new members come to the forums, people just pelt them down and demotivate them until they give up and leave.
well I probably sound crazy

Oh man. This status reminds of how I used to just watch a YouTube video and refresh the forums every ~10 mins when I was bored. There were usually some new topics to go through in that time too. This account was made almost 5 years ago when I was 12. I'm 17 now and I kinda miss those times. Nothing to stress over, everything was nice and calm. And also there was no fad sooooooooo

@EnderSculptor One problem is that we almost have too many amazing creators. Back then we had Skibbz and a few others. That's it. If you go around handing gold medals to everyone, it'll lose its meaning. That's why expectations rose as people tried one-upping each other.

Damnit bois, this whole status feels like a bunch of 60 year olds complaining about kids these days with their complex IPad technology.
But I do see your points @Skjold and @Colonel Muffin, maybe we could be a part of the change sometime... someday... maybe it's just a different way the new members see stuff in here. Maybe somewhere over the life span of the forums, It'll spark up again like when I first joined 3 years ago. Let's just wait and see how it goes.

How fitting for this to be the top status of my semi-weekly visit to the forums.
My 'dead' we mean it lacks passion.
It's just not as close-knit of a community as it used to be.
A bit contributor to it is all the new kids that spam fad topics and rigs.
 
If you use the wayback machine you can go back and see how the forums were back then.
As @Holy Knight pointed out, I think a big contributor to it is also that the colossal forumers have left. 
I remember a time where there were 30-odd people in the mineimator chat at once.
I remember back when there would be posted 5 new topics an hour instead of 5 per day.
Now that is probably my best description of the forums feeling 'dead.'
It's as if its lost its core and is now moving on as an empty husk of what used to be.
Oh how I miss the 2013-2015 golden days.

Any account is capable of having warning points

you forgot to add the shutterstock watermark

@Akmal Zonia

damn, that's pretty dope

Spy x Pyro TF2 = Spyro

Better than the Mona Lisa.

I remember this
 
I remember how hard it hurt me, seeing how unsymmetrical they were
it still does

Thanks mate
