Quick poll - do you think the right column (latest threads + comments) should show counts instead of avatars?

Raginroxas I would go with Avatars. Looks more appealing.

MapleStory

Games similar to MapleStory?

Like many of you I got tired of some of the glaring issues with MapleStory (pay to play, lag, hackers...) but miss the art style and community. I'm curious what games you're all playing these days or have you found any that fill the void that MapleStory left (if you did leave it).

HawtNoodle I also noticed that you can edit images now (not sure if I remember correctly when I did try it a few days ago) if so it's a very nice change.

Placeholder, Thumbnail

Hi all, you may notice that the story display has changed somewhat on the front page. You'll also notice a large gap of space on the far right side. That's a placeholder for the forum feature I'm working on.

captain pardon any confusion. There may be a forum list on your profile page but it will only contain YOUR forum posts. This will hold true elsewhere on the site - front page will feature posts from all forum

It's always exciting to see someone hone their skills to the point where they go beyond emulating their inspiration to a place where they can explore the things inside their head. At the same time, it's important for someone from the outside looking in to keep in mind that great art is not an island, there is many years of work involved in getting to that point. There are no shortcuts - everyone gets out of it what they put into it.

captain got your attention didn't it? :)

Watch Gintama, Longer, Sketch, Syntax, Mini

had some great ideas about enabling longer-form articles / reviews on here. I know a few of you have also mentioned it'd be nice to embed images to show a progression of how you get from a sketch to a finished image (for example). It's also a neat way to write a mini review or link to multiple videos in a more casual way.

Super interesting. Getting weird with the production, visual and aural.
