Well work and other projects have kept me away from the boards for a while and I figured, "Hey, why not drop in and see what's going on?"

A lot of new faces/names and sadly a lot of name I thought I'd see are missing. Was there a "changing of the guard" in the last few months or is the old crew just off playing...some other super hero MMO that we'll not name?

Good to see new people but I've tried a lot of the threads and most I tried ended up going to dead links...with a CoX message of all things.

Welcome back 8Baller. As one of the "new faces" (lol been playing since i2 but just never came to the
forums until I found the art section) on the forums I couldn't really say if there has been a changing
of the guard but I do still see many names with thousands of post under them.

As for the game that shall remain nameless I was in the beta from early on but it has a long ways
to go if it is ever to pull me away from CoH.

Sup bruddah! Yeah some of the old crew are here but you are right about some being over on that other game. I even went over there to try it out but OMG what a waste of money. Not that it would have ever taken me away from this game but damn! It's like they were rushing it out. It might be worth while in a few months but right now it is just managing to push me back to COH more often lol.

However i have been around here as always. I went through some health problems there for a little while but all good now.

Welcome back!

Well ok, I guess I didn't poke my head around hard enough. Nice to see some familiar names, and yes, always nice to see new people (whether they're new to the game or just stumble across the art boards).

Yeah I was in beta for the other hero game and really started having some fun by the end of beta...but then what they did at launch was...just...well idiotic is one word. I agree, they need to stick that one back in the oven again for a few more months...or more.

Anyhow, a big "Hi" to all the new faces and old. And for those that aren't around...may they find their way back soon

Nothing to post just yet. I'm working on a mini-fig for Alouette, and still hammering my head against an XNA game I've been working on with the kids.

And for the Network...I have ALMOST sent you an email to sign me up several times but then other projects pop up that would not let me focus the needed time to serve people in their best interests (in a timely manner). So I've pulled back. I'm pretty embarrassed at how long the last couple of pieces I've worked on have taken...due to other distractions. Luckly, for me, they've been for VERY understanding folks like War Patriot and Steve.

I dunno...I tried to check out the Creative Genuises thread and several of the others and it seemed like 80% of the art links gets me to a "Page Not Found" error on a CoX page.

Did you notice the "UPDATED 01 Jul 2008" flag on Creative Geniuses? We got a forum upgrade a bit ago. Old links from the old forums don't work because the new forums use a different database, and a different URL format as well.

You'd think it would be a good idea then to go ahead and clean up the board then instead of leaving all the broken links. Maybe even an event like a board 'upgrade' may be a good time for that.

Just sayin'.

Aaaah i gotcha and no worries. I am actually very happy to read an artist doing the right thing and holding back. When you're ready though let me know and I'll get ya up there. The list doesn't seem complete without you in it anyways!

Also i am still determined to get a piece of art from you....eventually.....one day..

Agreed. We've had our share of people on this forum who have taken on more than they can chew.

8baller seems too smart for that, though.

The onus is on the players to change the links.

Many important links, like those in the Guide to Guides, are already updated.

Looks like the Fart Folks need to get their butts in gear.

Just sayin'.
