Lessons Learned

Posted by Zoidz - January 3rd, 2010


Well, I made lots of mistakes over the months, and I kind of do regret those mistakes, I wished I can go back and fix all the mistake on a site called Newgrounds, and just forget about it forever. But that is definitely impossible.

First thing first, before I tell my lessons learns. And i have to get it off my chest, I was actually 12 years old when I join Newgrounds, and my 13th birthday was last November. When I first Newgrounds I had an account named "UltimaRed", but it turned out that the account was a failure, because I brought a bunch of flame-wars. Then, I made an account named "Zoidz", it was a little successful, but a few people flamed on me. Since I was tired of that, I decided to leave Newgrounds all together last summer.

Any a big lesson learned from this is to just be careful of what you post on Newgrounds BBS, I love the site though, (And I still do) but they are not that much nice people their. Though, they are still nicer people waiting to befriend you.

Another important lesson that I learned is about making Art-Story thread. (Art-Story thread, is a type of art thread where post the starting picture, and someone has to draw what happens next.) Anyone can make an Art-Story thread but, if you want to make one yourself, you would need to remind yourself, to tone the randomness down a little, or actually, a lot! OKAY. maybe a tiny bit a randomness makes the thread funny. (i.e. As you open your school locker a ton of peanut brittle falls out, and it tumbles over you) But, if post a lot random things, it will ruined the quality of the art-story thread. (i.e. As you fixing your friends' argument at your house, all of a sudden A giant whale with a party hat crashes into your window. And he wants throw a huge birthday party in your room, along with his underwater friends; Can you see what's wrong with that!?) I am only saying this, because I did the exact same thing, with an art-story thread, entitled the "The Never Ending Story 1&2". I actually, thought the thread was fun, along with other users who were glad to contribute. But, somehow other users just hated it, and panned it all the time (Which I regret as well). My only great guess why, is that fact that that the thread had too much randomness in it. Like I said, sometimes getting random can be funny, but a little too much will ruined it all together.

ON THE BRIGHT SIDE:
For Christmas, I got a Bamboo Pen tablet. And I love it! I am actually happy to have it to draw my artwork, instead of that terrible mouse used to draw art. I am already starting to practice on it, and hopefully my artwork would gradually improve better than before I had the tablet.

So overall, I regret all of my mistakes I made, and my lessons have been learned. Once again, I do wished to fix my mistakes, but I will be impossible. But hey, you what say, just forget about the past and look forward to a bright future. I still like Newgrounds, and the Art Forum, my favorite thread there was "The Huge Freakin' House Adventure" by chrisseh-chan. It was awesome, until some people ruined it, (Possibly including me, but I not sure.) and it was locked by a mod. But, I really want that thread to get another chance, so someday, when I am willing I will persuade the mod to give it one more chance, because I really want to see if I actually improved. I am not that sure if I will fully returned to Newgrounds as Zoidz, but if not, I will still visit Newgrounds to play games and watch movies, I will visit the forums, and I will especially visit the Art Forums/Portal to see the wonderful artwork people contribute. But, if I do return, I will return in a new form. This is all I will write for this entry, I will still be on deviantART.com to post artwork, and hopefully I will connect to my old friends I met on Newgrounds.

Until Then,
MasterZoid :)

P.S. Hey Dexter3000!
