Those were the good old days.

And you have nothing relevant to say? Even with your freshly-tanked sig topic?

Hrm i'm not going to lie, im gonna miss the sig threads in the general section and well i hope requests arent going to clog up the ASM and BSM...

Thank you so much :D!!!

All those sig threads have been becoming very, very annoying. There has to be atleast 6 every hour.

Now how can i get a pokemon sig?

I don't really see what the problem is. I like sig threads personally. The good ones tend to stay around for awhile but the bad ones die quickly. I don't think they're much of a burden on the system.

If you're talking about Flash collab threads you can't possiblely be serious...

And if you that is what you're talking about that's just fucking stupid.

ZOMFGOMFGZ THATS THE BEST IDEA EVER!11

I understand what you're saying, but you probably haven't been here...

We should have a Graphics Forum to spam up with sig threads.

It's just a bad new phase. But you can't seriously just end all collab threads. There are good things that come out of them.

Plus, it's not as if the Flash forum is that interesting without collabs. Just a bunch of repeat question threads.

....which is what the Flash forum is there for. Some collabs (like those run by Luis) are fine, but too many users with no Flash on the Portal are starting collabs because they think it's a quick and easy way to get known. It's getting to the stage recently where more than 50% of the first page in Flash is collab threads, which means that when someone comes in with an actionscript question, it often gets knocked down to Page 2 before anybody even reads it.

Last night

I don't agree with deleting/locking ALL collab threads, but I'd like to have an effective way of preventing them from dominating the Flash forum.

http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic.php?id=287612

That's fine by me. I've gotten 2/3 sigs from the clubs anyway.

*3/4

Whatever.

It is a little out of hand how many there are, but it's nice to see collabs getting more popular at least.

Actionscript questions are generally the only types of questions that should get their own thread. But most of the questions you find are along the lines of"how do I make a button?" or "how do I add music?"

Alright, just limit collab making abilities to those that have shown they are capable. That's fair enough.

Oh no! I completely don't want that!
I, like probably almost everybody, want to find a way to prevent pointless collabs and keep the good ones. I LOVE collabs!
Tommorow i'll finish my unblieveably annoying flash that I wanted to eat it so i'm gonna then think of a good collab... Yeah, and if I can make 8 minutes THE SAME as an episode froma TV show in flash, a collab is a piece of cake. But unlike many others, it will be more orginized!

hopefully :o

Hehe I hoped it was a fad before I made the list but you can see the dates so I thought whoops nvm... :P

True. And back then, just how many sig threads were there in General? Not a whole lot. I was also a bandwagon whore back then. It was even in my sig for awhile.

I realise template sigs will be popular, and I don't begrudge anyone building up their collection. But when they start to overrun the General forum, it's time to nudge all the budding artists in the right direction, which is the C+C forum, and the threads devoted to making people sigs.

Wrong, you were beat years ago by War Machine, Z, Chromius and Me in the anybody want a sig topic. And then we went on to create the Sinister Sig Makers Crew or SSM. We had started trends to remeber when everyone had fighting game charactersgifs in there sigs started in the SSM.

Yeah, but this has been along time coming now if only would put an end to those "PhotoShop *insert picture here*" topics the BBS would be 30 extra percent spam free.

Naw, those get tired after a while because you get the smae people asking for sigs everyday. Its like I just made you a sig stop asking for another one then on top of that the people that ask for sigs think they can just hang out in the thread and just post about nothing. You MOD's should really check that out thats the reason I retired from NG's sig making and leaft the ASM. Yeah Chromius said it best sigs stopped being fun when people were making parody threads of the SSM instead of trying to join the SSM.

Anybody want a sig was in general Maus. Remeber we as sig makers were here before the Clubs and Crews board was even created. Yeah look at my signup date predates the C&C. Yup back in my Darkblueflame days.

Whatever happened to you control freaks in C+C making that sig whore list? I distinctly remember talk of that.

Whenever the mods DO step in unasked, all we get in return is a bunch of resentment and backtalk. Very rarely do I get an email from ANYONE in C+C (there are exactly TWO that let me know when someone is causing trouble in their thread.)

This next bit is directed at C+C in general:

We aren't here to police every single thread that goes on in that forum. In C+C, you all have 'leaders' and 'presidents' and whatnot. Take some responsibility on your own shoulders to keep your threads cleaned up. Most of you have no actual power to DO anything about spammers and sig whores. Let us know about it. You guys know which mods frequent C+C. Even if you have to wait a couple of hours for a spammer to be taken care of, isn't that better than never?

That's the problem that keeps coming up. It's too subjective. We don't have time to check everyone's flash history

well i know my sig portal thread was nearly completely ignored, but why not make one so that they still have a place to go. Its not like a small picture takes up a whole lot of bandwith does it? And then it isn't in any of the forums. I'm not that upset to see them go, but it did make for a variety of things to look if the artist was good.

I doesn't really help because someone makes another sig topic and that sig whore goes there and says SSM sucks make me a sig. The person sees that as a chance to 1up us and they get another sig. Nothing learned at all.

Well I can only speak for myself but I would have loved if a MOD would have stepped in and did something and I don't think the creators of the SSM (me being apart of them) would have said anything. At one point we wanted Shrike to join the SSM partially because hes awesome and more so because he was a MOD and would scare of sig whores and spammers.

The C&C is like a spamming void and I have to give mad respect to ramagi for doing here part there to keep it clean. But yeah everybody has to do there part to keep the C&C clean. I'm in the Rap Crew and we mostly stay spam free because one we have a good leader and two because we message MOD's regulary when we get spam.

And Maus don't worry your one of my favs <3. Well thats it for my posting in here for another 10 mintues.
