10 Years Later...

The biggest thing holding me back from publishing anything is my complete lack of artistic ability.

Ha! The resemblance is uncanny.

thats a huge problem for me too, I dont know what to do about it. for now im just tryig to keep moving and pay someone for new graphics eventually.

infact I have a game I wanted to show all you guys here, mainly because so much of it is kirupa learned but with bad graphics I think it will just look stupid. so hidden it stays for now

Guys you should share your stuff. If it’s a good concept we’ll see through the artwork and it may actually help you attract talented designers to your work because they’ll see potential in the concept.

I don’t actually have any stuff :wink:

I did something silly like changed my title to “Admin” or something and claimed I could show other people how to be admins by adding an underscore to their name or something equally as ridiculous. I thought it was too silly to be believed, but a number of users tried it, and a number of mods at the time thought it was legit and were after my head. Someone told me I was close to getting banned, but I guess I had also offered up enough useful posts at that point that I bought myself some time to get cleared of prior allegations. :wink:

thanks kirupa I will, right now I haven’t been able to touch it in a week. having a job sucks :frowning:

senoculars story reminds me of a job I had, whatever mail client we were using I remember finding out in the from field, if you type anything followed by a ton of spaces the other person would never see your name, just the fake word or name you typed as the from name.

So obviously I sent a bunch of ridiculous internal emails to friends from the “ceo” and such…and one day I wrote something along the lines of this guy getting the day off.

However, before I could say anything I saw him open the email, grab his bag and bolt out of the building, he actually went home.

I don’t belong in the corporate world

Hey, anyone remember the renaissance man? Timmytots I think. The nostalgia is thick in this place.

That’s way funny. Also I think Senocular’s “hack” was before my time. I do remember someone writing some script that would pull your profile pic from Facebook and display it in the body of the post, their thread was titled “The Ugliest User on Kirupa” .

TheCanadian, I absolutely remember Timmytots haha that guy was hilarious and a total renaissance man. He was like developing a website for his furniture store and he did all the modelling for it too haha.

LOL, How could we forget Timmy :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I looked at his site (amazingly still there), but it looks the same as it did back then (from what I remember), I guess no one ever donated for that new computer for Timmy?

That post is from 09, which I think is when I joined. I dont remember him though. haha why did he get banned? I don’t think I ever witnessed a banning here. Sounds interesting

Looks like Timmy got his 27" iMac after all, and found a new home after being banned from Kirupa.

That was good times. Nice to see there are still some old timers . It’s sad but the activity has really died down I suppose that’s the nature of web forums.

Anyone remember Darkmotion? I really liked his work back in the day.

Darkmotion is still very active! You can follow him along on Twitter these days: https://twitter.com/pasql :slightly_smiling:

I believe I have seen some familiar kirupa names on the starling forums

Hey, I just randomly had an inkling to check the ol’ Kirupa forums, and stumbled across this gem of nostalgia! Hello everyone! I’ll have my 10 year kirupaversary this October… crazy.

Fun side note: I was just in San Francisco last week and got to meet up with nobody a.k.a. Joshua Jenkins a.k.a. “douchemod” a.k.a. Mr. StealYoGirl. It was great! I ate a lot of whiskeys and drank a huge burrito, and Jenkins was a true gentleman. My first real-life KForums encounter. TheCanadian, I know you’re jealous.

I’m not sure which I’m more jealous of: that you met up or that you had whiskey. Probably the whiskey.

That is really awesome! I met Josh about 10 years ago in Seattle, and it was THE most memorable moment of my life. Everything I’ve done since then (except meeting Kril and Sen, of course!) has paled in comparison to that event :frowning:
