• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

Can something please be done about this forum? @___@ It almost hurts to attempt to browse it. I know surskitty's made the contest thread to stop that plague, but there are still plenty of others. (LOL POST UR GARDEVOIRS HERE or HEY LOOK AT ALL THE [SPECIES] PEOPLE MADE FOR ME threads.)

I like to browse sprites every once in awhile, but it's just not possible with the current state of the forum. Could we add some subforums or some more guidelines or something to clean that thing out?
 
All sprite contests other than seasonal ones are going to be locked as soon as they finish doing whatever they're currently doing. Trufax.

I'm waiting for Butterfree to get her butt online again so I can ask her if I can close all of the stupid POST OTHER PEOPLE'S SPRITES HERE threads. Holy fuck what.


HEY GUYS HEY stop being dumb
 
I agree. I hardly even visit the sprite subforum any more; it's extremely cluttered D:

I do have a suggestion; the old sprite contest thread (the stickied one which fifteen entries could be entered) could have themes (formes of certain Pokémon, a perticular splice, or something, as long as there exists some sort of theme.) Any member would be able suggest a theme, though they would be oblagated to judge the contest, unless someone else agreed to do so. Eh, I thought it might fix the problem we've had on judging contests.
 
I already posted a general contest thread, but I'll add the thing about themes. Or well I might.
 
Oh god, I was going to bring this up actually. Thankyou!
 
I'm finding myself agreeing with everything said here. Before the forum crashed, I used to visit the Sprites & Pixel art forum myself. Now, It's just Sprite contests and telling Newbs that they can't sprite. I miss the old days. Bring back the sprite challanges sub-foum.

Nobody ever paid attention to the sprite challenges forum. It was active for like a month and then discarded. There's no real reason to bring it back.
 
Yes please. Kthxbai! I'm sick of seeing all the constant sprite contests that are just... clones of eachother, basically. Every now and then there's a nice, inventive one with good judging but most of the time... not so. And the constant 'armies' of a certain splice/recolour/whatever base are getting rather annoying too.

Ditto, wat are the points of those anyway? You don't see me with a Palkia/Darkrai/Umbreon/Espeon/Lucario/Dialga/Arceus/Eevee/Azelf army, do you? No, even if I did, I would use albums, or something.

I find it hard to find any sprite shops anymore.
 
I've been trying to keep track of the contests and making sure that people aren't starting new ones. Egh.
 
*hugs sprites close* Theft...? Oh heck no. I'm un-publifying my albums.

Contests are clutter right now.
 
Which is why I'm going to lock any new ones.

Am hoping Butterfree responds to sprite armies.
 
PLEASE. Seeing that is just fucking painful. And I don't normally go for the sprite forum, but going to post in an art thread then going back to the index and seeing "OOOOH LOOK AT THE *insert splice/Pokemon here* ARMYYY1!11!!!!1!" instead of the title of the thread I just posted in gives me a headache. Literally. Them armies are part of the reason the only spritework I do anymore are pixelovers of my own drawings.

In short, no one cares about your army. STOP POSTING THE GODDAMN ARMY THREADS GOOD GOD SURSKITTY LOCK THEM ANYWAY ><
 
[clicks three times]

Sprite armies are locked; sprite contests are merely ignored because people seem to have gotten the picture. Tag any new sprite contests 'sprite contest' and bother me if you notice more popping up.
 
Hey, uh. Can more stuff be done about the sprite theft I see occurring more and more often these days? First it was one of my sprites, then one that I'm positive is stolen but I only have a hunch as to who, and I'm sure that if these newbie would-be spriters don't learn it will just snowball.

...However, that being said they are heading in the right direction with their spriting. xD (recoloring outlines, saving things as PNG, that sort of thing.) Not that anyone cares; there's enough new would-be spriters to replace the somewhat improved old-new spriters so the overall talent level stays about the same.
