Big News

[Random Talking Bush]

This is an April fools joke, because I refuse to believe that the staff team of the largest sprite database on the internet are naive enough to release actual news on April 1st and expect everyone to believe them.

Here's Dazz's message, straight from the staff forums. (Hope he doesn't mind me posting it here.)

I just got this email:

Hoi, Dazz.
It's WaxPoetic of the ill-fated TSGK infamy. I've been talking with Goemar and we're uh... less than satisfied.

Two years ago, when Web passed away, I was offered all the tech help in the world by two really competent guys who could actually understand Web's code. (OracleofWuffing and an irc guy)
Wuffy ended up leaving most likely due to the asshattery of our senior member's constant requests/demands.
The other guy's just way too busy.

A few months ago, Goemar agreed to jump on board and we all thought it was going to be great and awesome and that we'd have your site beat up in no time. Sadly, huge flaws in the code stemming from the move-that-never-was have made this a tricky thing.
We can't even get his damned picture to link up.

My account has full functionality - but as I've been saying for two years, I'm still in way over my head. All I ever wanted (And Web knew this) was to sit in the back row and scribble out some sprites and smile and give suddenly insightful ideas.

So, as I said, Goemar and I've been talking. Goemar wanted to jump to TSGK because he wanted more visibility for his projects. I want TSGK to become active again, but lack the manpower (especially without tech help) to do it.


So the proposition of the century...
How would you like to absorb TSGK and RGZ?
(And if so, how would we go about doing it?)


I'll be on hopefully most of tomorrow (your morning) 7pm EST+ if you'd like to talk or discuss.
I want what's best for the legacy of TSGK.
I'm even willing to let you into the inside of the workings to give you new ideas.


Let me know what you think,
Chris Thomson (WaxPoetic)

I'm thinking this is awesome. Who else does?
Absorbing these 2 sites will create one super resource, and will make us easily the best online sprite site in existance.

The agreement will be fairly simple: We'll take their sheets and have them on tSR, and hopefully we can absorb their userbase too. This will result in a well recieved site, larger than imagineable, and a huge userbase of rippers.
WaxPoetic would become a mod, or an admin. The results are up to you.
