So all this talk about how great this place used to be made me wanna look at my old Youtube videos. Wow my last upload was two years ago. It amazes me how supportive everyone was and how literally every animator was commenting on my stuff, even the animation legends, and back then it wasn't even a big deal cause we were all friends. Pretty cool nostalgia trip. Glad I was able to be a part of the last big boom this place had. Don't worry guys, this place may be done for now but you never know what could happen in the future. My main goal was always to perfect the craft. The competition was fun but that was always second. Hang on in there until the time comes. Animation wrestling doesn't really have the wow factor it once had and the majority of the following now is kids. Funny because when I was here it was mostly people 16-21. Nonetheless maybe if you guys upload to Youtube still, maybe advertise this place and more animators will come along. It won't be as big a community it once was but it's still something.

12 year olds want to be YouTube Lets Players now, not stop motion animators. I noticed this back in 2011 when the community was slowly going downhill, even though we had Stevo, LKS, Angus, JWS, M, ScottyWoo, Fave, some assnugget named Arrow, Josh, and Rob all animating; I saw that we were getting less and less new animators to fill our shoes. In my high school, the big craze was making COD videos and I was made fun of for animating (side note: I never quit animating as a whole, and I now use my knowledge and experience of stop motion in film school and people always come to me regarding advice cause I've become a stop motion nerd these past two years, reading up on Ray Harryhausen, stop motion used in movies like Empire Strikes Back and Terminator, and various current animators like Lee Hardcastle). It's awesome that some kids are still here trying to make this community alive again, but it's not going to work. If anything, find a new way to express your love for animation. You don't have to have these mockup WWE cards to practice your skills and be engaged; you can practice for the sake of practice, make matches all you want, experiment with interests outside of wrestling for your animations.
Basically if you love stop motion, you will animate. If you keep on thinking this board is THE reason to animate, then you should quit wasting your time. If you want to try to compete over something though, try Articulated Comic Book Art. It's photography but you can incorporate things you'd use in animation: string, good lighting, creativity. Although you will need to understand how the artform works as it isn't just taking pictures of your action figures.

As much as I love playing up the pivot vs figure animation feud, finding out Nuke Storm passed away is heartbreaking. Sometimes WF feels like another world, seem to forget everyone on here is a human being behind the screen... The possibility of them dying is very real, tragic.

It's funny how back in the day we would lose our minds if P@uL made a return but nowadays people would lose their minds if I made an animation. I guess you could say The Animation Zone has changed.
Sorry, I had to it.

Wow... thought I'd catch up a bit and hopefully see some more new faces having fun around here... that was a saddening conversation to read between Andeh and Dutt there... This board may be dying, but hows Youtube activity going? I haven't really used my 0Kevsta0 channel in quite a while now, made a new one and have used that one for over a year now, so I haven't gotten to see any new animations out an about... if they're even out there... Maybe theres more out there from new people I'm not subbed to from my old channel... anyone I should know about? P.S.... had nothing to do the other day and internet was out so I made a little animation only around 20 pictures maybe, but nonetheless... and it was pretty fun. Editing just sucks more than I remember.

I just wanna say thanks for giving me an inspiration to animate. You along side other animators ive been watching you since i was little. I would appriciatte if you subbed to me www.youtube.com/channel/UCbXfZYmo8zxIpax6vvlpbbAIts ok if you dont want to. But the youtube community has new faces Im probably one of the few new guys out there but there is other who are outstanding. Thanks again Here is on of my first animations (not first ever but on my new channel, i started in late 2013-2014) Cant wait to see your animation if you're gonna post it .
