God... that's not why... It's because just saying "meh" in a post and not saying anything else is against the rules, and you've been doing that since you joined.

It's not just meh, but it's just saying one word in a post. Like just saying "cool" or "meh" in a post without saying anything else. Look in the rules.

Sometimes rules are meant to be broken so meh.

well someone sounds like their licking up to someone.
I'm not licking up to him. I'm serious. He's one of the devs. If a dev tells you not to do something, you don't do it anymore. That's how you get banned.

@Yukimenoko: Wire usually gives negative comments if he's talking about someone else's artwork. I think your sprites are really good though. You're way better than I am. I suck at pixel art.

Even I needed training to become this good at spriting, just to say. I couldn't become this good If there weren't people who gave constructive critics. Unlike SOMEONE who only says meh and is not telling what's wrong about the artwork.

Claiming that someone else's marriage is against your religion is like being angry at someone for eating a doughnut because you're on a diet.

If you constantly break rules on a forum, you will be banned eventually. It's different in real life, but on a forum, that's not the way things work.

Posting a reply
- Before posting a reply be sure to read the entire topic first. Otherwise you might ask or say stuff which is already discussed or answered
- Do not post "empty" or useless responses, such as just "lol" or "cool". Only post responses when you have something to contribute
- Ignore spammers, report them to the board moderators.
- Do not use all caps or SHOUT in your posts. In addition, one exclamation point is enough.

The thrill in playing a game does not come from our chances of winning. It is the weight and pressure of losing that fuels our fascination. It is why people challenge, why they gamble and why they compete. The adrenaline that comes from defying defeat is what motivates us.

Instead of crushing someone into the ground with critics only, like you do...

You can also give someone CONSTRUCTIVE critics. Help them improve, all I've seen you doing in the past three days that I joined this community is giving negative crictic on almost everything.

Like eddie is working now on the sprites, is fine. I once also started off like that. Of course it could be more impressive. But we are humans, if anybody did something perfect in once it would be a miracle.

Here's an example for my improvement on making trainer sprites completely from scratch:



At this sprite it was my first attempt to sprite a human. By that time I wasn't really impressive with drawing humans. And she does look a little odd..

Heres my newest Trainer sprite:


Much better right? I just made it. ~

The first sprite I showed was made about more than a year ago. Look how much I improved onto it... And thats all thanks to constructive critics. Eddie, keep up the good work I'm sure you'll become a great pixel artist someday ~


Well all he did was copy and paste and change the colour im not going to give him false hope and say it's brillaint plus declan can't tell me what not so say why don't you stop saying chanseytard every once and a while.

wire i did not mostly copy and paste ok i had to resize,erase extra pixels,recolour (which you have to get the right color with the other color),and make sure evrything was in place and saying stuff like meh isnt a good rating its just a word made up by computer nerds i think.

and yukimenoko thank you

It might not be enough to ban you, but along with all the other posts of yours I've seen, it's enough to take you to your final warning.

One more infraction and you will be banned for 2 weeks.

Though, that said, Trainerx, please control yourself around this guy. I've seen something like 3 or 4 threads where you are arguing with him, one where you pretty much started the argument with him (On Slaking or something) - don't drop yourself to his level. You got an infraction too.

There are tutorials on the forum that you can look into, and tutorials over the net. I suggest you have a look at them, and when you have done that, you come back on here to post what you have tried to do. It's where other people will give you further advice. :)

No one can go back and change a bad beginning; but anyone can start now and create a successful ending.
If a problem can be solved, no need to worry about it. If it cannot be solved what is the use of worrying?

Currently playing Pokemon XY/ORAS/Shuffle and Clash of Clans and testing out PokemonRevolutionOnline and Dragonmon Hunter....
Also, forum notification emails are not getting in my inbox... again...

I was in a very bad mood yesterday, and I just got really pissed. I don't usually act like that, and it won't happen again. Although, I wanted to point out that the argument didn't start the argument with the Slaking thing(I've been in a bad mood lately, because of all the stuff happening in my life right now.). This arguments started in Yukimenoko's thread, although I didn't mean for it to become such a big argument. When I posted that comment, it wasn't meant to start an argument, but I was in a bad mood that day, and I swear a lot when I'm in a bad mood.
