I been working on Zombies Now mainly, stopping to work on other random games at some points. It's changed a lot since you lot played it, for the better I hope. Well, it's virtually bug free now at least.
Why is it that the shizzle is so hizzle that the fizzle is posizzle? I tell you, Gmak. I get my home Skillit up in this hizouse and then we axe a question, foo. Tooning Fourk.
Translation: ...Damn... I don't even know what it says...
Anyways, we all are doing stuff aren't we? So that kind of settles it. This place is active. Wow. Didn't see that one coming.
I've been working on Spyro Pig for the last 4 months, and I'm trying to make it practicly bug free.
Here's the real delmia: the Clicking Community isn't dying; the problem is that the games getting released, for the most part, are bad. What do you think?
Fine Garbage since 2003.

"Just somebody, I'd quit your moral crusade if I were you, cos what you're saying is ignorant. For starters, there's a lot more games on this site without gore than there are with gore, and people should have the choice to play whatever type of game they want, whether it has blood and gore or adult content or not."
I agree that there are a lot more games, but it seems like nowadays the gore/blood/adult ones make the frontpage more often even if it shouldn't. Sometimes a good and nice game doesn't make the frontpage in a week and a stpid gore game makes it.
Most likely it has to do with the moderaters of this site too, they just prefer rubbish above good stuff. I do think they just like the blood and gore or adult content, judging by some of the language they use in the forums they do.....

what a stupid and ignorant thing to say! firstly, blood 'n' gore games making the frontpage... did it ever occur to you that those sort of games are put up because people enjoy playing them? or because there are no good non-violent games?
i resent the accusation that we prefer "rubbish above good stuff". with that comment are you implying that violent games are rubbish? and yes, i will have you know i do like violent games! so what!? it's just a game, it's not real. i suppose you'd rather have people going out of there houses and decapitating their neighbours in real life rather than playing it on a computer game. and i do use expletives (much less now) - and so what about it? and if i see other people doing the same i let it pass - they're not hurting anyone.
people like you, with your will to censor everything, just annoy me. like trevor says, all you need to do is look where that hand game is in the top 10 downloads and realize that's what people want to play. my question to you is this: why would you deprive people of what they WANT? do you consider yourself a nanny, or a caring mother, or something? this is not a nanny site. we will not remove games with a few red pixels (remember that's all it is - red pixels) and we will not delete entire posts just because of a few letters arranged in a certain order.
if you don't like it here, i suggest you turn on AOL parental controls to max, leave now and don't return. simple as!
I tried to make a sailing game yesterday, with variable wind speed, currents, pulling in and letting out your sail, tacking, jibing, and capsize recovery. And in true TGF fashion, I was finishing the last picture of the starboard side of the holder 14 when it froze and it had not autosaved. I cant wait until MMF2 so I don't have to put up with this shiat.

This thread is turning into a long one. It must be because the topic is both good and relevant.
On the topic "community is dying" Im with Tigs and possibly others. It is claimed all the time that the community is dying. The very fact that it still exists (it should have died at least 50 times now or so) proves the community is not dying. The community is changing but not dying. What COULD kill the community would be if all community websites died. Other than that it is highly unlikely the community will ever die. As long as we make sure new members join. It is almost as absurd as when people claim the world will end.
New topic: Quality/activity. The activity will always change. Sometimes there is more activity. Sometimes less. I agree with some of you saying good games take time to create. So if there is less activity we are making better games. Also consider the time of year. I know we come from all over the world. But in europe we are in the beginning of summer now. This means less time (for me at least) spend on the computer and more time outside enjoying the sun. This could result in a general fall in activity (since there are less active people). If it is so, I could not say. It depends eg on how large a percent of the community resides in europe etc.
As for the quality. I agree a game does not have to have elite graphics to be good. It should always be evaluated by the entertaining value (I did not say how fun it was). Not all games are supposed to be fun. But all games are supposed to be entertaining. However it takes time to create an entertaining game.
The community as a whole. As the community is rather small it makes me wonder ... well it also hurts me to see that there is still a war going on in the community. It may not be so visible as it used to be but it still exists. I remember a few years ago when it was like TDC vs. TK or some elite click group. It would be an endless flamewar TDC claiming they had a right to be there and the others claiming it was a useless site with n00bs and nothing else and that they were surpreme or something. A never example was the short war between TDC (mostly run by Pete) vs. KlikMe. We had similar arguments (not entirely of course but the theme was close).
As a small community it is not helpful to have wars and damaging competition. What would help would be if everyone could accept the fact that this is how the community looks like. Lets get the best out of it. One website takes care of this. And another of that. Etc. We dont need 10 news sites with member ability. We need one good news site. A new website should have a relevancy. A reason to exist. It should not just exist because there are already 4 others. No a new website should bring something new. Something that makes it worth joining and adding to the bunch of klik sites you got to visit once in a while.
