Title: Where is everybody?
Post by: Petzbreeder on January 28, 2018, 14:22
This website is becoming a ghost town!

I have to be honest, I don't play Pokemon games much these days. I've been watching Makaton videos on Youtube as well as episodes of the TV show Something Special.

I'm working on making videos like Melodysigns (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS_VczorX6nIowQkvS5JkmQ) does.
I've been writing a story about a deaf girl who has been invited to a birthday party.
I've been recreating my favourite songs (https://vocaroo.com/i/s1YGtuvw2eWh) as well as creating original ones (https://vocaroo.com/i/s0LiQenhw60g) with different programs.
I've been experimenting with post-production stuff which will help me make good quality videos.
I've been working on making props at my art group for my videos.
I'm even going to start playing with a marionette for extra entertainment in my videos.

Everything I've been doing lately has slowly been coming together to eventually create a Youtube channel that everyone can enjoy.

I call my channel Sing Song Sign (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCf0Xue_ArandmeVdSzuIpQA), which is different from my gaming channel.

So, what has everyone else been up to?

I'm still here, just not as active. Still a pokemon fan! ;)

So, what has everyone else been up to?
Started a new animated series on YouTube, involvng Salazzle and Salandits (great considering my out-date-ish-ness with pokemon) found url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zacGVOcpLsc]This[/url] on an old USB stick and uploaded.

I'm still open for nickname rating! ;)

I'm constantly going somewhere. This was my week last week:

S: Picked up furniture for my mom, went to my uncle's then to work for 6 hours.
M: School, practice, work for 4 hours
T: School, bowling match at another town about a half hour away
W: School, bowling match at a a different town a half hour away
TH: School, bowling match slightly further away than the other two, then work
F: School, then slept for most of the evening from fatigue
S: Started off sleeping a lot, then cleaned the house, got a consultation for my tattoo, then work

I've barely even looked at my laptop this week. This week is shaping up to be busy as well

S: Nothing (surprisingly)
M: School, bowling practice, work
T: School, away match about 20 minutes away
W: School, home match
TH: School, bowling practice
F: School, work
S: Medical class competition, Work

And that's without shadowing coming into play. People older than me have busier lives than me with actual careers and university coming into play. Please try to be patient and don't just call the site a ghost town. That chases people away.

I sometimes forget that some people here still go to school and go to work.

I don't have a job because I'm on disability benefits. The only day I'm busy is Tuesday.

we all died, rip..........................tear

january and also sometimes february are generally Lull periods in anyones general books tbh tho, any forum anywhere generally kinda goes //farrrtt// for these months and also the summer holidays.

in my case its p much just early spring cleanin, tryina figure stuff out and work/volunteerin tbh. and most importantly me windowsill garden!!!!!!!!!! do a gardening at some point in ur life folks its v lovely.

i have to restrain my posting 9 times out of 10 because i'll write a hyperactive-ass 99999999999999 word post when i get overexcited cos of some dumb irl crap or whatever and then get rly embarassed about it n highlight the lot and delete it all and be like Well It Was The Friends I Made Along The Way I Guess,



what we need is a puk equivalent of one of those tube/mallet noisemakers that each poster can pick up, you know that one you shake that sounds like a duck being throttled???? and that can count for conversation when we're Awkward Nerd lost for words

I've been a 27 year old man attempting to be a functioning member of society with jobs and responsibilities, then in my time off I race cars. (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6RKpfiMMylubgI6cAj2kNg?view_as=subscriber)

So much uni work this year, so that's taking up a good chunk of time, then I've got part-time work which takes up like another 16 hours a week, then any free time I need to socialise because like I get all my energy from being with people so if I have more than like a couple of days without being with a group of friends I just feel so drained, but then at uni socialising usually comes with half a litre of jager (or, recently, we've discovered the gloriousness of double vodka, mango sourz and lemonade) so that usually puts me out of action the next morning, then I have even more uni work to do on the evening.

Even now I'm only like posting on a 15 minute break from an essay ahaha (which is essentially about Greek restrictions on part-baked breads incompatibility with EU law why do we study this -_-), which is a caffeine-fueled mess that will hopefully scrape a good grade.

Will probably become more active when/if Pokemon Switch comes out because I'll actually play then, got zero interest in USUM.

I lurk here like once every couple of months of something just to see how many 2008 people are still here *shrug*

My main priority is coming to terms with my diagnoses, trying to get on disability and overall enjoying my third year as a a neet, all while sitting on the far edge of the pokespe fandom and grumbling over the common ships in my little lint pile of rarepairs.

I should really have more free time now v 3 months ago as I was previously in a job working 6-7 days a week whereas now I work Mon-Fri but those 5 days literally take up at the very least 11 hours of my day and then with the gym and stuff I don't really get chance for anything in the week. The weekend I'll spend either seeing family or seeing friends on one of the days and the other I'll just stay in bed as a recluse.

The most active this forum has ever been was on March 22nd 2012. I often wonder what happened on that day to make the site so busy.

Though I was a member of the site back then, I wasn't all that active on the forum, so I didn't see what everyone was posting that day.

Does this site have some sort of archive with a list of all the posts that were made that day?

Forgot this place even existed, who the hecc are you people???

Jokes aside damn, I've been places since like 2015-2016. Got to my preferred uni (Keele!! <3), found my girlfriend, came out, moved out (!!!!), and now I'm dying inside like the rest of you :^)

Some fun times back on this site though, hopefully it at least stays online in some capacity.

I remember you. Hell did I meet you at one point? Or am I thinking of Marcofisher.

Summer 2014 felt like it had a slight peak - I remember IRC being mildly lively (like 10 people) then, when I did the streaming.

I remember you too, but we never met. I've never met anyone from here irl
