Hiyas! Why don't we make a Lewis Carrol thread for nonsense with a plot?

[Nexess]

But we don't have a plot... Thing just come out of our mouth with no incentive...

[littl3chocobo]

yup though i guess this is the part where i ask if you want to be the pot or the kettle X'''D

[Nexess]

BI Obviously I am the pot, cause pots are cool right.

[littl3chocobo]

XD close but not quite, too many consonants to be cool

[Lawtan]

Now, now, there is most certainly enough for you to be both pots and kettles...

I'm mostly on Ernya after rage quitting Solia. > 3 >
So, really donate there. I post on Rolia, here, Mido & Ernya; and I look in on Celainia (Owner's been gone for a year now?), Varus (No update for 10 months), and Zantarni hoping they pick up. Zanta had really good items at one point. ; n ;

I've worked as an artist at a lot of avatar sites, I was head artist for one and even try'd starting my own. It's a lot of work and your depending on everyone to do their job and that doesn't always happen. : x
People lose interest, bale on you (I've been guilty of that myself) or just screw you over in the worst ways. bleh.

I had all the art ready for mine, I just could never get someone to code for me which was a shame. I had a lot of ideas for a HIGHLY RP intensive site (I'm not sure if people want that... > 3 > ) but it won't happen at this point. I don't have the time or money to pull it off now.

Well, with Crysandrea it was something to do with users abusing a glitch and corrupting things beyond all repair, right? Or something like that...
Other sites, don't know, but at least a few were really poorly-run IMO and thus I wasn't surprised. But there are usually all kinds of reasons that just add up. It takes a lot to keep a site going, particularly one that requires so many different elements running in a timely manner.

I was going to go back to Solia and try to stick around since there's a few ppl over there that are long-time friends where Solia's literally the only freakin place I can contact them ...tumblr phobic bastards pft... but literally the day I returned I saw some of the same b.s. that sent me packing the first time and I was like
'-- already?? seriously??? it's been five frickin minutes!'
so yeahhhh it's just gonna be an art farm now fufu, I don't have the same patience I used to for that ignorance

[Yokuutsu]

What happened on solia? -no clue- I'm never on there really.

[Taiki]

I know that a couple of months ago Solia and Syndrone released the SAME SET OF ITEMS. Apparently they were from the same designer who submitted them to item design contests. I don't think Solia ever posted about it or brought it up which led to Syndrone taking it down on their site. I don't think anyone on Solia even noticed or heard about it.

[Yokuutsu]

Ah, I didn't know Solia was the other website.

Solia did know. Syndrone contacted them about it....but I was told it was on the other website before Syndrone.

That's not Solia's fault though. That is the person who couldn't read rules's fault. It becomes the property of the website once you enter it, and they entered it in two places like that -.-

Which now Syndrone is no longer doing user items thanks to that person (and I want some actual bunny ears dammit)

[Espy]

Yeah, I was actually quite disappointed about that.

[Yokuutsu]

Which, personally, if it was up to me, I think the user should have at least been banned from any future contests like that (it isn't that hard to label whatever you're entering as Solia or Syndrone)

It's disappointing because I got the item on syndrone...and I dislike the replacement to say the least....and I won't be able to get the item on Solia...and I probably wouldn't like it there as much because I don't like their avatars as much -shrugs-

[Rem]

The specific incident was a group of long time users ganging up on a relatively new user unnecessarily for doing something they didn't like. And that's become more common over the years. But what made me leave the first time was certain admin behaviors...let's just say that when I joined the site in 2008 I loved it, but my respect for the people that run it and many of the longtime users has dropped slowly over the years. It's reputation isn't wholly unearned in my opinion.

And that Syn thing made me really sad too, I love item contests ;n;

[Taiki]

I was really into Solia for a while when I left Gaia. I can't get into it at all anymore though.
