Eyes on Final Fantasy: Posting Activity History

[Sir Lancealot]

There's at least one thing that exists now, but didn't exist a few years ago at EoFF: strawberry power!

Maybe that's part of the problem

I don't entirely know what to make of the extreme drop in the creative forums.

Lack of constructive criticism, there's still a pretty steady influx of work every so often, it's just noone commenting on it YOU BITCHES I NEED WATERCOLOUR HELP er I mean I don't know why, but there are so many threads with beautiful pieces and very few posts.

Personally I don't RP anymore because I'm kind of pushed for time nowadays and most of them needed quite a bit of time and effort - particularly on the part of the GM, who can't always deliver after the first few weeks, so I think people might be anticipating this and just thinking "Oh all that'll happen is that I'll make a brilliant character and then it'll die off, what's the point..?"

BoB, it appears that your chart is no longer up to date. Rectify this situation, posthaste.

[Del Murder]

Yeah, my chart love is at least 130% now.

[Lawr]

--if not over 9,000.

No one gives a crap about art and writing unless the person looking or reading is an artist or writer?

[Psychotic]

Yeah but why should it have been so high in the first place if that's the case?

Art is subject to fads like everything else. I was really into graphic design about the same time everyone else was into graphic design. Signatures and banners and all that good stuff. Oddly enough, just as I was getting out of that phase, a lot of the resource sites I used started closing down or going on hiatus. I'd say by this point 80% of the hottest brush/texture/etc sites have shut down. On Livejournal, graphic communities dedicated icons for movies and television would get dozens of comments per post. Now a lot of them are inactive or get much fewer responses. Artists fuel other artists. You see someone post a pretty picture, you're gonna want to post a pretty picture. If no one is posting, that's gonna get others to post less as well.

Looking back that whole movement was a fad. And then the era of macros was ushered in.

Don't know about the Roleplaying forum. Never really noticed it to be that active in the first place.

It may well be that since we don't have a lot of new users, our older younger members have grown up and are busy working and stuff. =O

Aye, the Rye is saying something. That's probably it.

[black orb]

>>> Most of the artsy people who used to post in the art forums migrated to deviantart..
I dont blame them though, since all the feedback you get there is incredible..

I think the activity here is just nice. Slow, soothing and calm like a holiday resort. Had no idea why these ppl were so anxious back in 2008.

Must be purberty or something.

[Quindiana Jones]

I'm so curious what the 20 year chart looks like.

DELLLLLLLLLLL HEEEEELLLLLP
