I miss it.
Posted: Wed Nov 28, 2018 11:05 amIt might be that I'm in a bit of a melancholic mood, but I'm feeling nostalgic.
I miss the days when the internet had something special and magical about it. Back when making online connections was fun and exciting and you could keep talking with each other on MSN about Pivot or whatever you're into.
I don't feel that anymore. At all.
I used to get so much joy from making animations with Pivot and sharing them on YouTube. One day I got a message from someone if I wanted to join their forum. It was a DarkDemon rip-off site called AnimatorX. And boy did I have some great fucking time there. I did everything you can expect a noob to do, I was the worst (though I didn't know it then) and enjoyed it a fuckton. Luckily everyone else was just as bad so it didn't really matter. Then I moved on to DD and eventually that got to be my new home, although the virgin magic was gone, I still enjoyed it and grew on me, as did the community.
Now going back to this website feels like walking through an almost dead wasteland. I want everyone to still be here and for the place to be just as active as it used to be. Which is of course unrealistic since you can't expect everyone to stay in the same place the whole time, even when it comes to a website.
I honestly don't know why I'm doing all this rambling, but I felt like writing a last post on a website that used to mean a lot to me.
Don't go gentle into that good night, DD.
