What's going on in this forum? So I've been away for about six or seven months. Don't let the fact that I've been logging in regularly fool you; the EAB is my homepage. Anywho, I wish I could say I have been busy and productive, but really...I haven't...well, not during the whole time. Sure, I was swamped up until Christmas, but since then everything's been rather lax and easy. Did learn some new tricks in the meantime, though. Now I just need to learn how to splice sound samples (or even find said samples), and I should be making my own CG movies in no time. Honestly, I simply got sick of the EAB. I needed to get away, take a break if you will. They do say "you never know what you have until it's gone," after all. So, after six months, I'm bored again (I blame unresolved ADD issues); after all, there's only so much fake politics, nation-building, and soccer-managing can do to satisfy one's imagination. I need some good old-fashioned roleplaying. I may be a little rusty, but I like to think I've picked up a few more RP styles and skills in my travels, so we'll see how it all pans out. Nice to be back, I suppose...

The EAB has been somewhat dead. No one is even posting in l33t. Alot of people are MIA or have left for some reason or another. I seem to be pissing people off more as if I took over Subtle's job of being the official ass of the EAB. Now that I've come to that realization I'm taking some steps back and trying to get back into everyone's good graces... except for Subtle, Lotus, and Spectral who is still MIA but showed up and posted something a few weeks ago in l33t. Oh and I tried to start a trapped in Zelda Ocorina of Time vide game RP, but no one except for Ninmast and Flame have posted what characters they were going to use for the RP.
CG movies? Wow, looks like I have something I can actualy talk to you about now donut. I've been learning something similar. 3D modeling using Maya 2008. My current skill level in still at the Noob level, but I've thus far managed to make a 6 barrel minigun arm for one side kick demon who unlike my last one has a butt. Still haven't gotten to the point where I'm going to try to get the barrels to spin (I've learned only how to do a 24FPS animation) but I have an idea to get it to work.
Lets see... OH, I'm working on making a super hero RP but due to the recent deadness of the board and the fact that I'm still working on 5 or 6 villain profiles, its not going to be starting soon. Although production on the profiles may pick up now since my X-box 360 as of 3:09PM today California time, died. I got the red rings of doom on sunday after less than 3 minutes of playing Fallout 3 and thus left it unplugged until approximately 3:00PM today and went to see if it would work and it didn't with the red rings still showing up. So I think its dead. With it being dead, I'll probably find myself working on my profiles more. Aside from the profiles and other characters, the rest of the RP is pretty much ready to go. Thus far This One and Ninmast have already made characters for the RP that were acceptable.
Thats all the news I have. Unless you wish To heaR about all the X rated stUff going on around hEre. But its not sAfe to post Bull like that that You'll never believe here. Not To MenIoN I could be joking About that. >>.....

I was working on a remake of my RP, Battleworld, which takes place in a world of conflicts and complex factions and dozens of characters but decided not to, because few people would participate anyway. I will probably start at a later point in time, if this place is more active.
If not, I will find another place for it.

Made a new RP which has one of the lowest participation counts: it has myself, Ninmast and very very small amounts of True in it.
Most people are simply just very busy it seems and others are just being lazy for their own reasons. I haven't been here long enough to notice any drastic difference in forum traffic and activities.

The EAB has been somewhat dead. No one is even posting in l33t. Of course, I keep telling him it might pick up if he'd post. It's been his post for at least a month ... Good to have you back, Donut! Wanna try that Rentis RP again?

Wanna try that Rentis RP again? My post in what? The Naruto RP is dead along with the anime. The last humor RP I made is waiting for you to post although it kinda dead seeing how no one else joined. The site being dead has nothing to do with my posting.

Cold, Beany...so cold...
Heh, try is again, Ninmast? As in, restart it, or continue on? I really, really don't feel like restarting it, but continuing it would be great. I have some other RP ideas that I'd really like to get rolling, but I don't want to swamp myself in roleplays just yet. ;D
What would be really great would be to see a bunch of new people around these parts.
Anywho, I won't be completely back to pre-leaving activity levels yet, as I'm up in Fairbanks for some ice sculting world championships, and I still have to prepare my OSHA presentation I'm giving Monday morning, but then things should return to some semblance of normalcy normality. I hope.

Are you in the competition or just watching?
By the way, WOOT! Donut's on the job! Nice swooping in and dealing with the guest section!

Just watching, unfortunately. I'm nowhere near pro enough to compete... Damn straight I'm on the job. ;D I only wish I could have done more against him. I really wanted to make a mocking poem in the same structure and style as the poem he made, but alas, it was checkout time; wouldn't want to pay for another day. Anywho, I'm back home, and as much as I loved sitting back and doing nothing in some hot springs, I'm so much more comfortable here... We need new smilies. *nods* *Runs to get more smilies*

I've been saying we needed new smiles since EAB#1. Bring back the one called "goof" and the sweatdrop!

Agreed.
And you're welcome to join 'Ever and Before: Embers of the Idle Mind,' Donut. It's a little unrefined, but I'm doing my darnedest to keep up with this one.
