We get a ton of these posts.

I'm not even in the mood to reply. Sorry.

But good luck with your game though.

;D

I think the moderators should delete these posts on site.. Or there should be some filter, or a big WARNING above the message field on a post-form.

We have an ACR thread.. And that's where you go to find help. Making your own thread to find help will only result in ridicule, mockery, and embarrasment. It will not help you find more people, as most of the artists around here are currently busy with their own games. The ones that aren't busy will look in the ACR thread if they want to help someone. So please, post there..

And for everyone else, PLEASE post there aswell. Stop flooding the forums with these "I'm a crappy artist/n00b! I need help! Make my GaYmE!." I think it's pretty obvious by now that you're not going to get much help unless you have completed everything else possible I.E Story, Puzzles, Music, Programming, etc.

I don't mean to be an ass, but I really don't come to the forums to find 100's of poems begging for help.

There should be a Beggar's Forum for all of these kinds of posts.

(Note: Please don't take offense to this post. I wasn't trying to be mean, and I'm sure you won't be the last to post a thread like this.. I just wanted to let you know that you're better off posting in the ACR Thread than in your own post. I just wanted to help, and apologize if I seemed rude. I got my wisdom teeth pulled so I'm a big grumpy.)

How did I know that would pop up again? I'm not trying to be hardcore.. I'm just fed up with seeing all these "Help me!" threads.. That's all. I've been pretty nice about it, haven't I?

I just said what everyone was thinking.. Right? ... right?

it's understandable to be frustrated but it's the guy's first post.

"so what, he should read the threads at the top of the page!"

why not instead of calling it the ACR thread [what does ACR mean? I have no idea by just looking at the acronym] give it a better descriptive title

that way people may just see it better.

and again, if it bothers you that much just ignore it and the people who wouldn't mind helping will post and you'll never have to be bothered by the post.

yes it's annoying to see these posts constantly but i think the best think one can do is just ignore them if they bother or leave a link to the acr thread

Hello, there is a site at http://www.avidgamers.com/ezscript where you can sign up and find someone to help you with your game. It is only in starting stages, but the only way we're gonna get people is if you join. So if alot of people register then it will be easy to find someone that may want to help...

Thanks,
Ez

okay okay.. Fine.. I won't say anything.

I just find it odd that the first time I ever say anything in a thread like this, I get ridiculed for being a hardass..

Meh.. Oh well.. Good luck on finding help corp.. And welcome to AGS. I'd help you if I could draw.

Silly ass thread. None the less, I'll make a better "ACR" thread this afternoon. And no, I don't remember what ACR stands for either.
