The gist of my post is pretty much the same as most. Stop playing the victim or leave. I guess I was using the 'running out of strip ideas' as a metaphor, which is kinda stupid because on Stripcreator it would naturally occur to take it literally.
I mean what is the point of moaning that the guys on the forum are not entertaining you to the level they have become accustomed? Shit why don't they up their game and show us all how it's done.
In fact don't, 'cos I am pretty fucking amused with what goes on right now as it is. I don't want to see what the old fashioned folks on SC thought passed for entertainment back in the day. Probably involves walking for miles for a bit of stale bread then proclaiming that your glad to have it (once you got it), and you don't want none of that fancy assed tuna mayonaisse spoiling your dry mighty white.

People "moaning" about the forums is no less valid than you "moaning" about people moaning about the forums. They're both genuinely-felt opinions so we express them.

But, again, since I've realized that the opinion says more about me then it does the site, in the future I'll probably be more likely to go out in the garden and grab a smoke.

Actually maybe it wasn't a metaphor, maybe I was projecting, and imagining what my motives would be if I was slagging off a site that I used to love. Maybe .

Got a light?

Why do we bother even talking about this? Seriously.

As was said (I think by Kajun), this site is intended for COMIC CREATION. Fast. Simple. Requires no talent to put a strip together.

The fact that there seems to be more and more crap probably springs from the fact that more people know about the site, so more and more new faces are showing up. Not EVERYONE is funny. However, with the slew of new users, many genuinely creative people will show up. So honestly, quit worrying about what's going downhill or how nothing is funny anymore.

I was here a year ago, made a few crappy comics, and left. The site was cool, but I didn't think much about the comics. Some people were funny, sure, but overall I wasn't just grabbed by the content on StripCreator. Recently I came back out of curiosity, read the forums, read the comics, and really enjoyed what I saw. I tried a little harder, and now I have a few fans.

If anything, I think this site is getting better. StripCreator is only going to be what you make it. Take it for what it is, a comic-creation website, and then just appreciate the extras: a forum to create friends, people to talk to in IRC (doesn't have to be officially hosted), and just a place to do crap all day when your boss isn't looking.

Brad still hasn't answered my challenge for a slapfight by the monkeybars on the playground after school.

Anyway, here's the crux of the matter:

THIS SITE IS AWESOME. Who gives a shit what whiney motherfuckers think? The forum is a fucking option. I came here because I like to make comic strips. Now I am here because I got know people and I like to compete in the comic competitions. If you don't like the people, don't use the fucking forums. Use the site for what it was designed for, which is to make fucking comics.

So much for making an inciteful post on pointlessness. I'm not trying to tell everyone to hug and kiss. I'm telling everyone to STFU and make the site what they want it. As Mikey just said, the forums and everything else are an OPTION. Use them or don't. Show them to your actual flesh and blood friends, or don't. But no one should make a big deal about this site going downhill or uphill.

That's the same as saying this country (USA) is going downhill. Well, people could say that North America has been on a "suck-slope" since 1492. Others would realize it's going uphill.

There's a mix of good and bad here. That's all I'm trying to say. Talking about why this site does/doesn't suck is just as ridiculous as the suicide, sex, and other threatening talks in the IRC chat. What's the fucking point? There isn't one. If people don't like it, leave. No one's going to change for you.

If in the future you'd prefer me to just be blatantly ignorant and just post emotionally fueled opinions on this and that, I'm sorry, I can't bring myself down to that on a recreational website.

After carefully studying the exact juxtaposition of the letters and the prosaic style which may have been behind the last post, I have come to an educated hypothesis that boorite, too, can blow boorite.

What you need to understand though is that when you're telling other people what they should and shouldn't be feeling and posting, you already are giving emotionally-fueled opinions.

I was actually discouraged by the fact that you were out there yacking in the tulips, but encouraged by the fact that boorite was giving handjobs by the daffodils.

Boorite's smoking something else in the garden, and it's flaming.

I'm not trying to tell anyone how they should feel and what they should post. My first post was a question: Why is this a discussion?

This is a comic-strip site, take it or leave it. In its current form, it won't (shouldn't) affect anything in our personal lives in any way whatsoever.

What I meant by emotionally fueled opinions was the way people make big deals about leaving ("Going away forever" threads), Brad shutting down IRC ("He sucks! I can't chat in IRC, my life is ruined!"), or any other change to the site.

I also hit the fact that more and more people are finding out about SC, and that's a GOOD thing. Without new people, SC would stagnate and die.

People have a right to feel this place isn't as good as THEY want it to be anymore, I just didn't understand why it had to be some big discussion.

This is all, of course, just my opinion as well.

Back to work for me.
