Check out my eleven.

But, yeah... it is kind of quiet around here. No waves. Everything is like Belgian beer - cool and frosty.

[Hero destroyer]

Lol, if your synopsis is correct and will be held, then, the official sprite tournament will bring almost every spriters active...well, sorta. :P

[8obis]

I don't post much, but I've been around on LFE for a while now and the activity level didn't really degrade from my point of view. To be honest it's more the opposite, the number of quality releases has never been higher, well to me at least.

[Bamboori]

lfe was never one of the most active forums. it will never be.
we are a small community who likes to chit-chat, do some lf2 related stuff from time to time and generally have fun.
when was the last time i released a character? one or two years ago? still im around almost daily, checking the forums and discussing what i like to discuss.

i think what you really need is a work group, not a forum community.

[A-Man]

people not being active, they just act as they are active?

"acting active", what the hell is that supposed to mean?

where is the progress.

There is Gad's stage project going on, the character "Bright", and 2 weeks ago an LF2 mod, ALLStar Bof, was released; and guess who was the first one to trash it!

Lord silva was right, this community have a cancer.

ZOMGA! DID HE REALLY SAY THAT!!?.. no one cares..

1. Someone please change EXG9's Usertitle to "Drama Queen"

Summarized the whole thread.
I'd vote on EXG9 to be given that as his a title! And who else wouldn't!!?

[Gespenst]

strange thing, dont you say?
post some bullsh*t, lots coming, post something like lfe mod, then we need to grab people from corners and some have auto against it.

[YinYin]

Is this community dead?

ummm, no motivation=dead

No. Your definition of dead is wrong. Go and have a look for Little Fighter 4 World or Robotical World. Those are dead.
As long as MH-Razen is still paying real money to keep this website and community running you better not dare call it dead again, even if only I am left posting a project or release once a year.

people not being active, they just act as they are active?

What the heck is the difference between being active and acting active for you? I don't think there is any.

where is the progress.

Where is your progress? Don't put that kind of blame on the whole community. You can only put that kind of blame on yourself. You've had such high quality character designs and animations recently. What's up with those? Are you not managing to finish the full sprite sheets? Are you not able to cope with creating satisfying data? Go ahead and post betas if you have anything and people who like it will sure offer help if you need any.
We might even be able to motivate and inspire you with feedback and suggestions if that is your only issue here.

people might just checking in, but from those 58 people, who actualy posting?

Well I am, you are, everyone in this thread is + everyone in the other recent threads. I will go and count them for you (just hottest threads of the past week -forum games) because you are being all too subjective:
15 active users in the Colosis thread
18 in the Bright thread
4 in simple things
8 in this one
11 in what makes a good character
6 in Onis DCing questions
13 in the lfe mod thread

That's an average of 10 different users per active thread this week. That's roughly 20% active users of the ones that were online for the past 24 h (that 58).
And these are even all in very different areas: An already running one man project, a very well working character release (with lots of custom face pictures from the community), an AI thread, a theoretical game design thread and a data changing thread. There is even gads flash sprite thread that just wasn't on the list due to forum games.
It's not enough for you? What about quality over quantity? Better get more involved yourself and enjoy what you got instead of complaining that it's not enough.

according to me, lfe is almost dead.

We've seen much worse droughts than this. And I agree with RtXaS: the current activity is actually way above average.

post something like lfe mod, then we need to grab people from corners and some have auto against it.

Maybe you got me wrong: I am not against it. I'm just not organizing or starting it because I know I cannot handle it and am not very passionate about it. If you are, start it! Nobody is stopping you.

[Gad]

There were worse times.

You rude ninja, Yin, you're really willing to write that much in this topic?
He won't even try to understand.

[Gespenst]

As long as MH-Razen is still paying real money to keep this website and community running you better not dare call it dead again

I havent said that he is paying for nothing.
I did said like in some topic that here is not much activity and people not making much of a stuff.
HERE IN FORUM NOT OUTSIDE OF THE FORUM.

better not dare call it dead again

k

even if only I am left posting a project or release once a year.

cool

Where is your progress? Don't put that kind of blame on the whole community. You can only put that kind of blame on yourself.

k, I will.

Are you not managing to finish the full sprite sheets?

do you always showing what you have up in your sleeve?

You've had such high quality character designs and animations recently. What's up with those?

Maybe I don't like that high quality stuff. Maybe its too high for me to handle?

Are you not able to cope with creating satisfying data?.

I know what I am capable to do and what no.

Go ahead and post betas

Betas, hmmm, nice but first I have to make alphas.

you have anything and people who like it will sure offer help if you need any.

there is not much of fans who likes more than just human figures running around.

We might even be able to motivate and inspire you with feedback and suggestions

I ve been waiting for that when I was making those High quality.
Didnt got enough motivation.

I am not against it. I'm just not organizing or starting it because I know I cannot handle it and am not very passionate about it.

who said that you are against?

I'm just not organizing or starting it because I know I cannot handle it and am not very passionate about it.

did someone said "YinYin go organize mod "
about lfe mod contest.
You suggested it, why not creating topic?

If you are, start it! Nobody is stopping you.

if its about the mod then you seen situation. if no. then no need to explain.

Please choose a different option.

Are you not managing to finish the full sprite sheets?

do you always showing what you have up in your sleeve?

Of course not, unless I feel my motivation fading away or have the dire urge to talk about something related and nothing interesting is currently going on around here.

Maybe I don't like that high quality stuff. Maybe its too high for me to handle?

I know what I am capable to do and what no.

You should apply that second quote to the first and find out what you want from yourself.

Go ahead and post betas

Whatever you call it.

you have anything and people who like it will sure offer help if you need any.

That's a bad assumption. I sure would enjoy some high quality mecha/robot fights. The reasons I don't like the Seed LF2 mods are the character sizes and graphics.

We might even be able to motivate and inspire you with feedback and suggestions

I ve been waiting for that when I was making those High quality.
Didnt got enough motivation.

I'm sorry to hear that. You might get more if you reach a playable state. Pure sprites/animations are sometimes hard to judge for me if I cannot experience them in the action they are made for.

who said that you are against?

Maybe you got me wrong

You suggested it, why not creating topic?

I somewhat don't want to, but I guess I should.
