Noo, we will miss you, anyway what is the other community you are more active now?

In my opinion, GW's greatest loss this year (as far as I remember).

See you around, bud.

i dont get your major complaint at all. i can understand if konix or panda or mateui said it but you're not someone i've seen get involved with any of the FUTURE OF GW discussions. i dont disagree with your assessment of the situation (aside from your comments about the language and culture of gw which made me lol because I pictured a bunch of hell's angels loudly playing pool and an asian guy slinking off quietly because his bar's been disturbed) but i am surprised you even care about it considering your lack of input.

^^ well those reasons are really secondary to the main reason he gave which is that he is over gw or w/e


anyway seeya later medieve - thanks for all your help in the ga forum

now then... back to business... who is going to be ga mod? we need change! we need someone who will STAND UP TO ANIME and JUST SAY NO.

Last time I said something along those lines people jumped down my throat...

what? those reasons are the main reason! he said he's tired of gw not moving forward, nothing about growing past gw. I just dont get why someone who was pretty much absent from talks about the future of gw suddenly leaves because of it.

unless...its as i feared. medieve got drunk, sent tft nude pics, and is being blackmailed into leaving. nice try girlbones...you and tft almost got away with it.

No to anime.. ?



DS.

Your art forum threads were very entertaining for the eyes, Medieve.

Maybe he will do a superfrenzy and leave then come back. That superfrenzy guy was a prick though.

But honestly I'm very tired of GW. I'm very tired of the language here, I'm tired of the culture, and I don't want to be working against it. I've become more active in another community where I'm talking to peers that are in my industry, has a lot of great energy, and provides support both personally and professionally. Its hard to justify investing my energy into building this community into what I want, where I could be putting that energy into establishing myself in a community that -is- what I want.

sounds like he's grown past it, since the graphic arts forum hasn't matured at all and most of the professional guys either stopped coming here or only post very sporadically

sounds more like he's ticked off about "language" and "culture". and moving to another community is because GA is dead which is resultant from gw being dead.

idk I get more of a YOU GUYS SHOULD HAVE HAD GW 6 UP BY NOW feel from that statement instead of I'VE GROWN UP.

what language.

does it bother you when I type FUCK on a keyboard and into a web site? I...I...can't handle all the expletives........................imustleavethisplace...

i agree about the community part because yes gw has stagnated or whatever less negative word would be better. the language and culture is kind of a result of that. i don't know it's just the same people with occasional catamites coming in and dancing provocatively; i don't mind it (i kind of... like it... but i have no basis for comparison) but i can see how other people would.

not necessarily grown up, just grown past. i mean nothing he says is really sounding that pissed about how late gw6 is, just that he doesn't really like whatever direction he sees it going in and doesn't want to expend the effort necessary to change it.

I'm confused about the language thing. Does he mean we use/advocate too much profanity?

Shame to hear this, Medieve. Really appreciated the effort you put into the art forum.

Have a good one!

Not too sure, a lot of us are kind of dicks though so I thought he might be talking about that.

Medieve, I'm sorry if I was ever a dick to you

medieve you were a cool guy sucks you're leaving. have a good life man.

Cool, no weird questions I wasn't expecting.

Yes, I was talking about conceptart, I have actually started a new sketchbook there: here
I've been hanging out in their Ventrilo chat too, if you guys want to chat or w/e.

Questions about modship. Its rather hard on me saying, "YES I WANT TO STOP MODDING" cause it really is a lot of fun, but the conflict being that I'm supposed to be leaving :d
Umm, I guess I can't really name replacements. No-one springs to mind that I would -want- to mod it. Though honestly you could just like keep my name there like some kind of mod scarecrow and maybe have some global mod check in on it once in a while. If some other mod wants it I don't mind, I just can't think of anyone to promote.

Hmm, as for a better explanation of why I'm leaving. I don't necessarily care if GW6 is delayed or whatever; but I do care about what the objectives of the site's are. The gap between caring and doing something about it is this: I think GW should be all about supporting creative people, whether it through dev blogs, artist pages, writer's studys, musician's studio or whatever. I don't want it to be some kind of game review site/discourse on news. Not to say that GW can't do that, but I'd rather have the former than the later. But, I have little room to argue for this or that because I'm not that active in the community so it'd just be hot-air and emotion-driven argument. I couldn't say, "This is what we should put in because the community wants it" because I'm not tied into that community to stand for them, I don't know if they want it or not.

As for my "language" and "culture" points, its more of a personal attitude rubbing against a community attitude. I just don't find GW funny. The people are cool and all, but there's just this grating lost-in-translation humor that goes on and on in everything. I do kind of feel that this community has found itself liking itself a bit too much and I don't think that's a recipe to get in new members. I still don't know what kind of "audience" that GW6 is supposed to appeal to, I'm curious about it but others have pointed out that I'm not too involved in the talks. I don't know, this is all sort of sounding like bs because I'm dancing around an issue that I don't think should be public. But no, by "language" I don't actually mean profanity.
