Well I've just heard the fanart forum is going to be closed due to spam...and the strain on the server. I didn't believe it at first eather...but I guess it's true.

Post you're last fan art here....Good bye ol' forum. I'll miss youuuu.:(

Fan Art forum, You where great, you'll be in my hart forever... I'LL MISS YOU GODDAMMIT!!!

*cries*

And where did you hear this again?

Big convo we're having. I don't believe a word of it.

Right .

Big convo we're having.
Uh...huh...
And you're really believing a notice over a MSN conversaiton?

*sniff* :(
bye guys

They are. I'm not. Although Andrew Taylor is involved.

Well, I know I've heard closing the fanart forum has been discussed for a while now.

I knew it. KARMA!!!!

Sniff, fare well... FanArt forum :(

I really don't think they'll close the fanart forum. If they did, lots of people would just post their "art" elsewehere, while the real good artists would leave. It would make no sense, really.

Most of them have already, or they just stopped doing art.:p

But if the forum is closed, there is no possiblities for them for coming back (or wait new artists).

I dont know if this is true, I hope's not.

Well, I'm prepared.

Arg, I had a picture, but I can't find it.
If they do want to close down the forum, I will give them a sacrifice.





(Splapp)

Even if this entire forum was removed (you people seriously trust AT to tell the truth in an MSN convo?) I wouldn't mind too much. I don't upload my pics to this forum (be thankful) and Kelsey's a good enough artist to keep me happy!

Plus, there's DA

Meh. Meh I say. All the good artists are on dA anyways, so no big loss.

This place has been nothing but spam since W3D was released. Up untill that point loads of people were trying to create 3D worms and that was good fun, partly because those who were REALY bad just gave up leaving the resonable to the amazing left.

Now, anyone with MS Paint tries to draw worms, admittedly there a few realy good comic strips around but they're so drowned in spam I can never find them unless someone sends me a link.

Will fanart threads be allowed in online orgy after the closure?

Obviously not individual threads, but perhaps a single thread for everyone to post and coment in.

In anycase I'll still be on DA.

I'm going to miss this place.

Oh wait, no i'm not. *stoves its head in*

:rolleyes:

This seemed hard to believe at first, but I checked with Thomas and Andrew, and they both confirm it.

Goodbye, Fan Art forum. You'll (not) be missed. :p

If the fanart forum is gouing to be down, then someone should take the initiative to make a new forum, Please someone make a worms fanart forum, this is the only life I have, This and Maple Story. (Shut Up, don't make fun of me, i'm a level 28 warrior).

:rolleyes:
I would like to know what that means

Well, if they confirmed it, it must be true (or a terrible joke).

Yes that would be a solution, but it would not be the same...

I cannot belive that they will take the faster solution. There are more things that can be done.

- We can educate people for making them stop spamming (there are ways more effective than stickys)
- Take more mods
- Add punishment for spammers

Its true that this part of the forum is completly full of spam, but its the most active part of the forum, it should not be closed.

Oh and I think that this will be deleted after sel comes back from its holidays (8th August),

Well, what must be must be. Regardless of how you feel about it, you have to admit the forums have gone waaaay downhill.
I'll still be on DA. If anyone cares :p

thats what AT told...

This place used to be the only place I posted since I joined back in 2004! And now they're taking it down, and my memories along with it. Goodbye sweet, sweet worm_boy (LOL Remember that guy?) and everyone else who was so bad at art (including me) that it made it enjoyable for the rest of us.

Oh wait, WHERE THE HELL AM I GONNA POST TEAM ALPHA NOW?!?!

Well he's right really, this forum serves no real purpose, and almost none of the art here is even decent.

That said, I remember a while ago he threatened to shut it down unless the levels of spam improved, and it's better now than it was then.

Tell THEM that.
Mr. MxO

well we could make some Forumer.com forum but that wont be much...

Oh well, there's other forum areas. It's a shame though, this place is the most active on the forum, usually. It has been too spammy lately though.

OH MAN!! NO! LETS START A PETITION [or however you spell that] WE CAN"T LET FAN ART GO!!!!:mad: :mad:

Really guys! we can stop this! We will all stop spaming for it! Well puts stuff like: Don't get rid of fanart! in are sigs and locations! our avatars and stuff! "hears oh canada music in the background"

close fan art? gee, THAT'LL help....except that everything will just move over to Online Orgy instead. closing this down isn't gunna do much, but I don't really believe it anyway, so I'll be awaiting the official statement.

We will all stop spaming for it!
I could have sworn the reason given was nothing to do with spam...

close fan art? gee, THAT'LL help....except that everything will just move over to Online Orgy instead.Actually I think you'll find the topic will just be locked/deleted as OO isn't a fanart forum.

You can't say you didn't see this coming (if it is true).

The FanArt forum died about a year or so ago, for me. I'll not miss it.

Awww I hope they don't shut it down... I like seeing art from other people. Good people especially!!!

You used to be so different. :p

You used to be so different. :p
I pretty much agree what he just said, it went to the dogs ages ago, there's not much to miss.

Fan art isnt closeing.
Because I said so. :mad:

Well I'm glad that's been cleared up...

Fan art isnt closeing.
Because I said so. :mad:
Yay we are saved, because of slicks claim.

Fan art isnt closeing.
Because I said so. :mad:
Proof Please?

Well, you didn't have proof to believe the fanart forum was closing, why do you need proof to believe it's not?:rolleyes:

Well, you didn't have proof to believe the fanart forum was closing, why do you need proof to believe it's not?:rolleyes:
Because he countered his claim with an anti-claim. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Have you considered that Slick might trick you into believing it's not going to be closed?
It'll hit you harder then.

Proof Please?
Proof? You can't prove what will or will not happen in the future. We can't prove what Sel is or is not thinking and planning right now.

The forum's not closing. It was the "fan art is closing" joke that seems to resurface every couple of months.

Fan art isnt closeing.
Because I said so. :mad:

Move along now, nothing to see here....

If FanArt was closing, you'd still have another coupla weeks to savour it, due to this thread (http://forum.team17.co.uk/showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=29872)

Now, if only this had been done in April...
