The main thing I’m wondering is, why hasn’t elYsiun become a nasty mess of visual overload like these? Are there rules against it? Have we not thought of it? Or are we just smarter?
Actually, this is one of the reasons I like these forums. It loads fast, clean, fun to read(sometimes not), educating (if your not lazy, like me, that is ).
I’m on these forums for fun. It has no difference how it looks, though if that last “Myst” forum was an indication (long pages and no “next” button), I’d want everything clean and short.
One thing that bugged me when avatars first came around elYsiun was the ultra-small 65x65 size. I find it much better than a huge picture that takes up the whole screen, like some other forums seem to allow, but it still annoys me to an extent that we have undetailed pictures if we want it from a certain angle.
I’m thirsty for some Coke.
I’m kind of annoyed with the signature limit of 255 characters. Seeing some of those other forums was actually kind of, well, educational. (See? I don’t need school!)
i don’t think it’s qute a matter of intelligence, the rules are practical, why would someone need a giant avatar or signature, u only see em once, the avatar is just and indentificator.
i think this forum works so weel is cuz the person that gets in gets a felling of belongin to this place, like a home, so he takes care for it to say it ina way
its gotta be something to do with the fact that this forum is graphics orientated. People would rather spend time creating their own pics than to make a detailed profile pic and sig.
On other forums i used to have a detailed sig pic, but here i haven’t even thought about it. Rather use my time to work on my latest project.
Since Blender gives you a hard time at the beginning, and all the “WEEEEE! Neither do I have artistic talent nor can I hold a pencil but I want to make Toy Story 3”-kids are scared away at a pretty early stage (and are now modeling chrome balls in 3dsmax). Only those who are willing to dig deeper can unveil the powers of blender and are now in this forum.
