and I decided that we should post our dressup games on our own webspace for those to view a whole collection. Got really tired of bringing dA up just to show a couple of games to my friends and relatives, but rather its more convenient and pretty to do it here

I know some of you are wondering about the contest that I was giving for the avatar creator. We got sooooooo soooooo sooooo (about 200) replies on edits that it was just really hard to judge and put up, so we decided to cancel it
Im sorry. We will have smaller contests on our new site. We were going to give away dA subscriptions as well as video games on the PSP and DS.
On the next agenda, Ive been working with a good old friend of mine on a new site idea that we've came up with. Soon everyone will know more details, but thats all I can really give. Its called LaWiven and Ive been doing some bases and art for it. My friend is the coder, so Im really excited about that. A few days ago I got discouraged and didnt want to draw anymore because I felt damn proud of how far Ive come, and Im getting better (dont believe me? view my old art folder in my gallery), and someone came along and just.. well I was so fucking pissed that I felt like quitting - but I didnt, and couldnt. Key said that all that mattered was if I was personally happy with the base, and I really am. Im not changing shit about it.
Ok and another... Magickstone... well Ive decided to take the forum down, the mud and all. Its really not keeping my interest until I figure out wth to do with it. I still have a story I want to put out there, but the chances that half of the interweb would like to sit down and read text without pictures is really a small percentage. I noticed that when I had the storytime portion, and thats going to. Eh, I'll think of something after I get all the things I have to do are finally done.
Finally, Magivolve. Good Magivolve. Well we decided that we needed to change a few things about it, meaning the layout and the whole purpose of it altogether. So were working with Austin (our coder) on fixing it all over. The lagging is just getting unreal and just very upsetting to go to. I held off adding items because it was just really terrible one day that it wouldnt let me, so I'll have to wake up around Magi's ghost hours and try to do it.
Well thats pretty much everything in a nutshell. Im gonna go take a nap before work.
-begin rant-
I wake up grouchy. So I go and read the journal comments in Keyeske's journal about the annoucement of the new website and what the fuck do I see. A couple of comments that really disturbed me. I am really not supposed to go flipping out on people and instead just ignore it but you know the fuck what, I said what I had to say anyway. Here is what I said:
"You should know by now that I was going to say something. There is just no way I can sit here and hear so much negativity from people that really know very very veeeeeery little about the behind the scenes of whats going on.
Sorry Key, I know you dont want me to respond and ignore it, but I cant, so here goes.
I figure I should plop this here, since it was initially in my journal:
And I quoteth:

... skipping a bit to the very most important part of the journal...

You cant do ANY updates without money. NONE of the updates were ever free, so dont go parading about nothing being done, because its not because of monetary reasons. Austin does not code for free, and Im not pulling money out of pocket to users who are flat out ungrateful for anything that we do, and I have bills to pay. It makes no sense really that the majority that complain, really dont help the site at all but just run their yap about key not doing this or that.
Were making this site to get enough to pay austin to change magivolve around, and guess what, we'll be making even more because magivolve really isn't cutting it. No one really talks in the forums anymore and the only thing thats really alive is putting clothes on the avatar or the games.
I have a great idea, and I told orphen the same thing. Create your own avatar site and see if it hits off better than magivolve without no money and no fan base. Orphen hasnt done it yet... its too stressful and too much work he says, so figure it out.
Im just really tired of people not looking at both sides, instead would rather fuss and argue about shit they will never be able to change."
Im just so fucking tired of people really fucking getting on my goddamn nerves about the fucking way we run Magivolve, and the way its going. Its not my fucking fault that there are no fucking updates, nor is it keyeske's. If we dont have the fucking money, we just dont have it. We arent rich, we dont live in fucking luxury, so what the FUCK does that shit look like when we ask for donations for every fucking job thats quoted around 200$? Like everyone else I got fucking bills to pay. You dont like it fuck you. Its like how people are saying the writers are living and luxury and it serves them right to not get residuals. These righters are fighting for healthcare like the rest of America. How you write a script (blueprint) for actors and they make millions while you make a couple thousand a movie is really retarded. People think everything when it comes to a site is free, and its not. Keyeske is not a coder, he is an ARTIST. Therefore we have to pay for someone to code the site. Updates do not consist of free coding. PERIOD. Its like I dont fucking know what or if they get that through their thick heads. Its like I really wish I could forget about magivolve. What fucking possesses me to be so defensive is the fact that I indeed care. i care about what users say, and I try to get them to understand, noo noo noo bitchy angelc0p always has something smart to say. Its not that its smart, its because I have to be the only one that buckles down and fucking cares enough to lay out what the fuck is going on to people that how should I say slander and create things about the administration as well as the staff. Thats another fucking thing. Our life is more than Magivolve. I dont lay down to sleep beside the goddamn website, so try to deal with the human in us all and wait.. or leave doesnt matter what you do. If you believe that magivolve will pull out in the end, wait for it. if your gonna whine and threaten to leave good day to ya. There hasnt been more than 200something users on at once EVER in its 3 years, and we are losing users? come the fuck on. There are billions of people in the world and you expect us to fucking cry over say what 40 - 50 users a day? We get more visitors on Deviantart. The dressups alone is more than magivolve ever have in a fucking year. How can we focus if we have no money for updates. We fucking ask for donations and they you people sit there and think we are taking money from you. LOL the fuck would I do with fucking 10 dollars, because thats all the fuck weve got. Google in 1 month...no 2 WEEEKS would give more than 6 months of donations....fucking ridiculous those goddamn users, but I care so much that it just gets under my skin. If I didnt care, id be like fuck them and leave magivolve and not come back and tell key to give my job to someone else who cares, but noooo Im here, willing still around and these ungrateful people will continue to whine about irrelevant things. We need more items, when we fucking got over 3000 items, human and Tibia fucking combined....What a fucked up way to fucking go. I dont really know what else to say other then we keep doing what we need to do, and mind them all later. Im glad im not in key's shoes. If I was the creator, I probably would close it down because these people are unsatisfied about everything. If we dont listen they start acting like little kids (which some of them are regardless of age) crying and fussing because they cant have their way, and when a group of whiney kids start yelling and crying... well its not a very good day for the babysitter.
And thats what we feel like... babysitters.
