It sounds incredibly tasking. I don't think I have the mettle, although the opportunity is golden.

A touch of meta never hurt nobody.

Thank you very much, guys. Always the friendliest around here, I really appreciate the attitude.

Last one is most recent. Tried to go for a movie poster look with the colors I chose. Thanks for the kind words, sir.

So I got a chalkboard, but because it is mounted on a wall in a room and I cannot rent a wall (I asked, no-go), I had to get the matching set and rent out all 4, including the space betwixt them (also know as a room or chamber). As a result, I now possess a chalkboard, and some chalk, and hands, which is pretty much all you need when dealing with this kind of thing. Of course, I wrote some school stuff on it to see how it would look like if I was a dork, but then I erased it quickly before anyone got a chance to be proud of me. So, this:

Man, you got a keen eye. Sweet photos, impeccable timing.

It's like Gorillaz had sex with John K.'s portfolio. I love it, dude.

Got high and started wondering what I would name an old timey tavern if I had one. The best I could come up with was The Shitting Griffin. Of course I drew it.

No fuckin' clue. I figure in a post-apocalyptic setting with no TV or readily-available hot meals/hot porn, a person might succumb to boredom much quicker than excepted. The keys are just a manic obsession, a collection. I figure if certain resources become rarer due to the incompetence of the denizens of a failed world, then even simple things like heavy metals wound into intricate or elegant patterns (as simple as an s-shaped rod or pop can tabs) might become genuinely interesting to a wanderer.

Been toying around with an old coat I love so dearly, gradually morphing it into what I affectionately call my "Apocalypse Suit". I don't even know if this is a suitable addition to this particular forum, but I'm a daring bastard and, frankly, all this worry is giving me a stiffy.


Unfortunately, I only display the left side of the coat, but it's the side with the most dangly bits and shiny shiny knick knacks, so whatever. Tell me what you think!

Means I like your shit, son.

I'm sorry, I have zero music savvy, but your fingers are made of lightning. The way you play the guitar (which sounds fantastic, mind you) is a skill that I'd be willing to trade an organ for. Not saying which organ, all I'm saying is that the offer is on the table. We can discuss the details in your dark temple.


Question: how much pussy do you eat for breakfast before you're full?

Fantastic photos, I'm particularly fond of abandoned/run-down railroads and chain-link fences. Very post-apocalyptic, try photographing in dusk if your camera can handle it.


Oh, and the_bub, your photos are fucking excellent. The subject of your photography, as well as the style and look of the photos themselves, is absolutely prime.

Whoa, crazy kindness over here, I've tittered thrice at least. Thank you for the positive/constructive feedback!

I was thinking of doing a little spin off where I discover tiny tribes as well as animals. I got into the drawing process, but the tiny skulls and spears and leaves and cloths were a bitch to cut out. I have that restlessness in me, like my blood is saturated in energy drinks. I start to sweat and shake and my butthole makes a fist and I just can't stand it. But I shall try my best when the weather gets better!


Just for you. <3

Saw some of those creepy paper cutouts people molest in Japan, so I was like, alright, yeah. I can steal that.



The Great Canadian Slugworm getting ready to chow some herbs.

A spiderous serpent not taking kindly to being manhandled.



A little squeep...as small as it is, it feels no pain or fear. Needless to say, it often serves as lunch.



Squeeps gonna squeep.



Squeeps in the wild doing nothing important as usual.



Squeeps love my nuts.



Papa/son goat ape combo.



A flyadile, in all his annoying glory.



Two nasty sharklings plucked out of their abode in the midst of a dispute.

Second helping.

IRC? More like IRClueless. I have no fucking idea how to wield it...from what I remember, I was intensely intimidated by all the pound signs and shit so I never got into it. Handling it now would be like dismantling a bomb that, instead of exploding, makes me look like the dumbest asshole on the Internet.


Or does NOT using IRC make me the dumbest asshole on the Internet.


Ugh. TORN AGAIN!

Hahaha, there's that clueless, bespectacled face I missed so dearly.


And Reddit is cool, but the community is pointless. People love it, I think it's a clusterfuck. It's one thing to rock 200 members, that's a fucking giant crowd, but Reddit is just a million-member mess.


But some people revel in it and who am I to judge? I'll go there to scoop up news or funny pics, maybe some titties, and I'm on my merry way. I don't talk or make eye contact, and topics I've posted aren't generally responded to. Not downvoted, not upvoted. Just there.


But I was never down with upvotes, really, I hate "ratings" and stuff that inevitably turn a community competitive, and Redditors essentially live and breathe orange arrows. I posted a few topics and realize you're just standing there hoping your shit will be seen by the right people and upvoted into internet fame. And that kinda turned me off. I hate the 1-10 concept, pluses and minuses, yes and no, hot or not. Fuck that. I don't see what it accomplishes other than dragging it to the front page, and most of those posts are cats or stale meme comics. Cats are not funny to me, and the rest is incredibly hit-and-miss. So "upboating" doesn't really strike me as a useful feature, especially in a community so diverse.


Reddit is fantastic, but being a Redditor is not my cup of tea. Maybe I'm just bitter, or not cut out for big crowds. All I know is I can do without.


I don't think we need a GW subreddit...we have GW. It'd be a community within a comunity, so it's a little redundant. If people don't wanna come here, they won't wanna go there. And if they do, chances are they won't stay unless they know about us. And if they do know about us, then chances are they're already signed up here.
But...it'd be interesting to try! Just careful Reddit doesn't seduce away the rest of your members and GW slowly dissolves among all the other subreddits.

Agreed. Don't put a dog down just because it's old. This place doesn't have rabies yet...just wait til the pornbots 2.0 invade before you drag Salty behind the shed.


I'm sure someone somewhere adores this site to bits and pieces regardless of what it's like. Really, just not seeing the old GW theme tugs at my heart; if the WHOLE community disappeared, it wouldn't feel right at all. Just seeing you older folks warms my cockles, and the people I've met since I re-joined are fantastic. In fact, this forum is MUCH friendlier, but that's probably because it's nowhere near as busy.


For those who weren't here during the zenith, IT WAS FUCKING RIDICULOUS. In every way. This was a second home to a fucking colony of nerds and it was fabulous, though we had assholes growing off the fuckin' trees. But we also had everything else.


To this day, I have a mild suspicion that GW paved the way for SOME nerdy communities. I know SA was the shit and a half back then, but it never, ever interested me. Yet I had trouble staying off GW the same way people have trouble staying off Reddit these days.


I visited Art and Lit for inspiration and tips from other artists.


I visited Roleplaying to flex my brain a little.

I visited General for updates on wtf is 'gwan on. I was like the first guy in my town to know about that armored bulldozer war-machine that rampaged a few years back, and it was all because of GW. I was like the information station, yo.


And of course...THE CRAP SHACK. Nothing better than the Crap Shack. Nothing.








NOTHING.

So IRC is still rocking, eh? Wonderful news.


And that's a mighty fuckin' quote. I remember you guys having a bit of a postmodern joke running around here. I swear, you guys are the only site ever to drop that term on an average basis.


Didn't Steel constantly consider himself labeled "postmodern". I'm not sure if he was for/against it, but he kept bringing it up when it became a "thing". That was nearing the time when I left, during the last wrap of my GW adventures.


It was all during the Whahay backup name era...when did you guys adopt "Salt" and why?

Even Rome crumbled...
