Putting out

[Talexis]

Maybe it's just because of all the changes this year affecting me, but it's still frustrating...
Ever since I found the forums, I've wanted to be able to be active in the Shifters discussions, to add to the community I probably found back in 6th grade when I found Shifters but didn't join because of age/ignorance to it. I mean, I understand why the forums are more or less inactive with the time that's passed, but what's bothering me is that I can't seem to come up with anything I consider worthy of posting here, sensible sounding or not, and that's really frustrating, because Shifters and Shadowsmyst are too much of an inspiration to many of my interests and imagination to allow to pass silently. I can't even come up with a song that reminds me of it that I feel works. Eh, maybe I just need to stop wondering why and just do something instead of thinking if it's going to make me look like an idiot. But I guess I should ask...
Has anyone else had troubles coming up with things to talk about here? Or am I just stagnating?

No I must admit it is somewhat difficult. I do like discussing things as well even if its just character ideas of the far off future for people.

[Talexis]

Alright, at least I'm not the only one =)
Thanks, I'd started to think I was going mental >_>

[Lupis]

Think on the bright side!

You could still be going mental...but you're not the only one.

Honestly, though, it took me forever and a day to think of the right song for that thread as well. Then I heard it and it just...clicked. It's all good.

Do you think it would be smart to invite personal friends to join the forums? I'm sad that it is quiet, and I feel like since there is not much new to talk about until the comic comes out of hibernation.

I find it hard to find the free time to remind myself to check up here, let alone come up with anything to talk about. I remember when the forum was at the top of the 'to do' list, now its kind of a memory that washes ashore every once in a while. 9 years of forum browsing will do that.

I keep checking back here hoping to see some old blood return or an influx of new blood to pour in and revive things. Personally I'm distracted with other rps I find myself in and the drudgery of work sapping all my enthusiasm and brainpower.

I don't personally mind if people invite other people to come and chat here. As long as its done in the right places and doesn't break anything, I'm good. The more people are here talking, the more likely that old or new blood will crawl out of the woodwork.

I know the reasons for the silence are largely because the comic is currently not updating, although I know many people are waiting with baited breath for the moment of its return. I'm sure when I start releasing pages, the forums will slowly revive as interest in the site revives.

We are probably all distracted somewhat, I know I've been with a lot of life and health issues I'm working on resolving for the moment. There are newer, shinier, more lively things on the web than this currently dusty corner, but I'm still planning at some point to breathe life back into it. I just don't want to do so prematurely.
