Firstly you might be thinking, "I didn't know buns could cry!?"

Anyway. I was looking over the framebyframe spanglefish site and I just got so sad when I saw it. It was the good ol' days when everyone in the community was happy and it was spam-free! I'm just wondering if we have the same connection we had then, a constant online buzz and constant posts on the website. I don't feel the same 'buzz' as before so I reckon we should do something we should all work on in a community project!

My Plan: We should create as much Wallace and Gromit artwork as possible and put it into a huge online 'mural'. I think this will bring some team spirit and thought back to the forum! I will not accept things you didn't make or do yourself such as stealing Aardman's work.

If this thread gets a 'star' (or what ever it is, some say sun) it can be seen by all the members and they can just carry on posting to the mural. I am up to do some editing and every image (I hope) will just carry on being added and edited onto it and I will post and update of what it looks like every, 10 images lets say.

This is just a thought and hope I can bring back the good ol' days!

Thanks

TheTopBun/TTB

That's a great idea! I will upload some myself. Exams will get in the way though :(

I think the forum is better now than it was late last year. But I think the best times on this forum was 2008, there wasn't to many people on, and they all knew each other and there was pretty much no spam. last year I think was terrible for spam, I think it is getting better though. We still have some of the old members. I don't know who has been on here the longest, but i have been here since '07 and I remember the great threads where everybody would be on and talk. I think TFBM and Quote it and the other threads like that are great, and really bring people on the site together.


thetopbun Posted: May 6th 2010

crackingtoast Posted: May 6th 2010

Awesome idea topbun. I don't think I should part considering I was the one who caused alot of argument,directly and indirectly last year,but this is a great idea to get the forum back together.


thetopbun Posted: May 6th 2010

MORE! Hehe...

MeggyMoo, your picture has been added to the mural folder on my desktop!

CrackingToast, do whatever! You didn't cause much argument last year... Yeh, I really hope it will bring everyone to look at the poster and just think, "This is what our community can do."


Ursrut Posted: May 6th 2010

agreed! crackingtoast you are part of the community and it is a community moral so go for it!

The h.w went alright thanks topbun. And i will probably have one up on sunday as i have alot to do come tomorrow and saturday. Whoop going to a first aid competition :). I've got an idea on that note as well :D...


thetopbun Posted: May 6th 2010

Ursrut is right crackingtoast, whatever you do, you can heal the 'wounds' by contributing!
Good luck in your first aid course Urs, and I think I know your idea! ;)


crackingtoast Posted: May 6th 2010

Okay,I will then. :D


thetopbun Posted: May 6th 2010

Good lad!


Ursrut Posted: May 7th 2010

Thanks topbun i was actually quiet stressed about the comp until i started drawing- I'm actually quiet proud of what i've drawn so far- it isn't brilliant and it isn't coloured ( it may not be coloured in the end either).
I'll post a peek a soon as i've found a memory card for the camera i have


thetopbun Posted: May 7th 2010

Good good! Can't you scan it?


Ursrut Posted: May 8th 2010

it's in a A3 sketch pad and i still haven't found it.... but the first aid comp went alright and apparentely we are third ranking in the region which does mean we don't go to the finals but i suppose i can focus on my GCSE's more.


thetopbun Posted: May 8th 2010

And on Wallace and Gromit more... That's a shame


Nathan M Posted: May 8th 2010

ajmole Posted: May 8th 2010

Clay Fighter Posted: May 9th 2010

Ursrut Posted: May 9th 2010

right guys... don't laugh... never again am i going to use those colouring pencils or the camera to take a pictrure.
This is stage 1 in my process :)


thetopbun Posted: May 9th 2010

I have added the Piella drawing, but, I think I will wait until there are 10 drawings until I show it so far because it all looks a bit bland.

Ursrut, that is a good start and cannot wait until it is added!


mmasonghi studios Posted: May 9th 2010

I did a TWT Drawing My Drawing


mmasonghi studios Posted: May 9th 2010

mmasonghi studios Posted: May 9th 2010

thetopbun Posted: May 10th 2010

Cracking! Now we only need 4 more!


Gromits little bro Posted: May 10th 2010

I think that this forum, apart from the absence of some of our oldest dearest friends, is soo much better than it was mid 2008 as we don't have nasty people like Morph007 and in more recent times, we don't have spammers like that Subbuteo guy (remember him? :O)

I LOVE ALL YOU GUYS!!!!! x (sorry for shouting that :):D:wink:)


thetopbun Posted: May 10th 2010

Yeh you got that right in my ear! :( Yeh, it is getting a lot better an a lot cleaner, like the grease has been cleaned off the forum, the low lives are gone.


mmasonghi studios Posted: May 11th 2010
