Keiphus Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 There was a time when this here media board actually had some good content. I look now on the topics being posted... and to be blunt, I am disgusted. People that posted here used to wait until they were actually somewhat talented before they posted. Those days seem to be long gone. Interesting topics have become over run by "MY F1RsT PixI attempT!!11" Let's be honest. Nobody cares about your first "pixi" attempt. You probably didn't do it right, and it probably looks like garbage. Do some research, get some better content, then try again. Oh, and while I'm at it; stop calling it PIXI. Are we in 4th grade here? Wow. You guys know who I'm talking about. It's you first attempt posters who ruined it for everyone. The noobs who are garbage at the style, and probably at everything else they do for that matter, see you post yours and they are encouraged. "Wow, if they suck and people like their work, maybe I can make some stuff up in MSPaint and post mine too!!" No. Sorry, the buck stops here. It's getting a bit ridiculous. Now don't get me wrong, this isn't all about the first attempt pixels, although they are a very large majority of the offenders. I don't think I have time to get started on some of your ideas of abstract. Well I guess I can be brief with this one; Bryce is not an abstract program. Stop trying. Have you people not seen what you have done? This pandemonium you have created? The utter chaos of your horrible "art" you have posted? Well, I'll tell you. You have discouraged the real artists from posting what really is good art. It's disgusting. The media board that I once thought to be a place I could go to get insight on my art, has become a gang of children who claim MSPaint as their tool of the trade!!! Congrats on making our media board the laughing stock of all other media boards internet-wide. It's a shame too. The mods have done so much to help us along on our path. Alot of the other RS boards don't really have a thing for media like we do. We used to have such an awesome media board thanks to them. But now, you guys, the users, have ruined what alot of them spent alot of time and effort creating. Now some of you are saying... What does this guy know. Wasn't he the one that just posted that Art and beauty is in the eye of the beholder? Wouldn't he argue that art is different for everyone? Yeah, he would. But stop calling your garbage art. I don't think I even need to get started with this, but I figure there are a few of you who are going to whine about me always yelling at people. It's life, grow up. So in short, stop posting. Come back when you get good. Or at least when you can make something somewhat presentable. Don't post until you don't suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ttghost Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 i suggest making one topic, so if anyone wants to show off his "f1rst 1337 p1x3ls" posts there... so the forum wouldnt be so flooded with usless topics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DeathMinion Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 Agreed, what the FORK was with the santa thing and people saying it rocked, just go die, I like the single topic idea, would be less flamingness, im going to suggest to a friend of mine this idea....

unknownmasterofnothing Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 Yea I posted the idea of a 1st pixel sig sticky b4. It would prevent a lot of flaming and people could post constructive criticism. Yea the media baord used have a lot of great art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quer_Skulll Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 as used to be one of them who posted his first Pixel Attempt.. long time ago which btw wasnt really much pixel at all, yet i agree there are to many "Ch3cck My (wait i just cant type like that) Elite first Pixel Sig" i tryed searching the board for pixel and abstract. comparence, 20 pixel topics in 3 pages , 2 abstract in 3 pages. im not saying that its all garbage and rotten cabbage (with carrots) tho.

Guest Hmmm Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 The noobs who are garbage at the style, and probably at everything else they do for that matter, see you post yours and they are encouraged. "Wow, if they suck and people like their work, maybe I can make some stuff up in MSPaint and post mine too!!" My friend I think you've got something to learn. Even if people are not as good as you are in creating art pieces, it doesn't mean they're bad at everything they do. So instead of being full of crap like you are at the moment, I suggest you to take a big breath, leave the computer room for a while, and learn what the word humility means. I'm getting very tired of people like you either on forums like you or in my real life. Just because you're better than someone at something, you get full of yourself and start cussing on all the other ones who do try. Yes perhaps their art is bad, but there sure as hell was another way to say it. Oh and yeah perhaps you're better than them, it doesn't mean you can insult them the way you've just done. And you followers who reply to his cussing and insulting post and say "yeaaaah nice said!", well you just make me think of those nazis falling into Hitler's manipulative speeches. Not only a speech of hate, but also a speeh which suggests a few of you are better than the other ones. God damn, wake up. But that was just a parallel. Next time sir, keep your hate for yourself and spit it out with some other way than pissing it on those "noobs" like you call them and like everyone out there does. Yes you are better than them, no reason to spit all that hate on them. And if they do get full of themselves by using copyrighted things, then you can simply ask a mod to lock the topic. That's it, no need to get all angry about it. I don't really thing making a whole issue about it is needed. Good day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatsilverwyrm Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 Nicely said Keiphus...except for the part about people being bad in art being bad in everything else. That's stereotyping, which is bad. :P Hmmm, you know what really annoys me? When people compare little insignificant things to Hitler. Hitler masacred 6 million people. Do you see even one person dying here? No? Neither do I. Keiphus isn't full of himself, he just wants people to think before they post. He also doesn't like it when artists are given a bad name because of a bunch of kids coming along and thinking they can be the next Da Vinci.

Azvareth Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 Keiph, I couldn't agree with you more. I quite frankly have grown quite sick of this board; as 99% of the posts all has something to do with, as you said, "Rate me frist pixi!!1". And no, it's not even remotely funny anymore. In fact, it's come to a point where I actually hardly ever look at any posts, other than the ones I am 100% sure will be worthwhile to click on. Is that how it's supposed to be? [bleep] no. But it's also kind of wrong to telling people off, and saying they should stop "posting their crappy art" - this ain't no naz'i board, people are entitled to post their so-called "art" and get enlightening replies. There ain't really nothing we can do about it. But I totally agree with what someone said, the mods should make a sticky, where all the "rate my first yadda-yadda-sig" posts could be. I also think the mods should create a competition thread or something once a month, and the winner would get a custom rank or something. I think that would add a nice atmoshpere. :) Like one year ago, Media Board was actually a very great place... now it's... not. And to everyone who's about to say "then leave, no one is forcing you to be here" - no I [bleep]ing won't, I have probably been here way longer than you. So I think it is you, my good sir, who should leave. Quick. // Azvi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hmmm Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 I made a parallel on his speech and blind followers. Oh yeah right, you say this was nicely said? Fun, but there was another way to say it. Coming from a mod, this is rather sad. Blah, I've never seen any hope in Tip.It forums anyway. Guess I will just move to another forum where everyone respects each other. Well, back to the forum I am at actually anyway. relax... you're so upset, you might get a heart attack :shock: That explains the whole thing pretty great Icky.

Greatsilverwyrm Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 You know, parallels usually indicate things that are, or are nearly equal. This isn't even close. Keiphus didn't disrespect anyone, just their "art". I'm sure that most of the people who post the "rate my first pixel attempt" posts are perfectly nice people, they just aren't very good at art (yet?).

Keiphus Posted October 11, 2004 Author Share Posted October 11, 2004 You people have missed my point. A seperate topic for 1st time pixels are all fine and dandy... but that isn't what the objective. Hmmm... Let's re-read both of our posts. As from what I can see, I did not use a single cuss word the entire post. I read yours and you say "God damn." I don't have the luxury of humility. I'm too good for it. I find that I'm so smart that sometimes I don't know what to do with myself. I'm really liking the Hitler analogy. I even am working on the 'stache. Don't tell me how to conduct myself. If I want to tell somebody they suck, I'm going to do it. I don't need to lie to them about how good they are, when in fact they should just stick to what they do best, which obviously isn't art. I, for one, being an artist would much rather somebody tell me the truth about what they think, rather than try and make me feel better about myself. But I agree, I'm getting tired of people like me too. But let's be honest, I don't hate anyone but you. Stop reading my post so defensively. And stop taking it so seriously. If I come off as being arrogant, then you get a cookie, you have figured me out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowgravity Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 I agree with the 1st pixel posts, and people who do not take time when they make their pixels. But are you suggesting nobody should try it? What if somebody has alot of talent but is being told not to post anything, so he doesn't? We could be overlooking alot of good potential artists here, but also some bad ones. I will continue to do pixels, I enjoy making them, and hopefully as I learn I will start to make some money. And also I wish you guys would stop insulting 13 year olds and stuff (13 = 4th grade? Not from America sorry), I'm 13, and i'm not stupid, not all young people are dumb "n tlk liak dis!1!1!". Maybe there should be a sticky for people testing their 1st attempts of whatever kind of art. Lowgravity, I want to be just like you. But...I never will be as 1337 as you. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keiphus Posted October 11, 2004 Author Share Posted October 11, 2004 You people are thick. I never said ANYTHING about anyone being 13. I used the analogy of 4th grade to compare with your language. It was only intended for the PIXI comment. Are we in 4th grade? No, so stop calling it PIXI. Stop using my words out of context. I never said anyone was a fourth grader or said anything about young kids or 13 year olds. Read before you post. No, comprehend before you post.

Lowgravity Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 If they are under 18 does that mean they are bad artists? And don't have potential? I'm 13 and I think my pixel art is ok for my age. I would be interested to see how old some of the better artists are (MxM, Jepp, Demor, Nad etc.) I also use the term "kiddies" or "kid", it demoralizes(spelling?) the person and is a very good way to agitate people, but I don't like it when it's aimed at a very certain age group (especially when it's my age :P ). Lowgravity, I want to be just like you. But...I never will be as 1337 as you. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alright well that's a start, you apologize, but then you keep on stereotyping all the under 18 years old people again. A merely little start may I say. And I guess I could not rely on the Tip.It administrator for a complaint or something right? Who is the forum admin? Is he like 100% with his mods all the time or could he actually look into this post and perhaps just cool down everyone or something? You guys are starting to get angry, all this over some people who do not have an "enough-great art". Yes perhaps it's bad, but let them go. And yes, there are people who do bad art and really annoy people, but there's the "lock" or "delete" button for this, and you can also warn them not to post again if he is only trying to do a joke and types in that way you people describe it. No need of such a post where everyone rants and stuff. So, is RaenonD the admin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
