Quote from: Mandle

* Mandle initiates a group hug.

This is a forum mostly for fledgling amateur game designers who either wish to dabble for fun or to test their wings to go on to bigger things.

Most who do the latter have already left but some still hang around as community members.

The modding of this forum is probably the most level-headed I have ever seen in a casual online forum, and I've been on community boards since 1999 when I first got the internet. I've never seen anyone actually banned here but on every other forum I've been on bans were just the norm. You saw at least one or two every week, permanent or not.

Of course not everyone can resist a snipe now and then, but we are all adults and does it really harm us when one is taken at us as long as it's not too personal or deliberately meant as bullying?

* Mandle closes the group hug

(You don't want those things going on until someone coughs)

I didn't want to bump that other thread, but I liked Mandle's idea of a group hug!

I'm all for healthy criticism of the forums or politely calling people out if they step over a line, but there's some poisonous negativity getting spewed at the moment so I don't think a nice positive thread will hurt any.

Thanks and hugs to everyone on here who is friendly and supportive and fun. Feel free to share some positivity and get in on the hug!

Mandle · « **Reply #10 on:** 11 Oct 2018, 08:33 »

Oh no, what have I done?

I feel like the guy at the party that started the conga-line but 20 minutes later his legs are tired...

Meh, hasn't been 20 minutes yet for me so:

* Mandle DOES MASSIVE HUGGLES!!!

Danvzare · « **Reply #11 on:** 11 Oct 2018, 12:45 »

* Jumps onto the group and gives them a big hug

I hope I didn't break anyone's back by doing that.

Haha that's brilliant! Wish I'd joined in now, I've just been feeling a bit ignored on this forum for a while to be honest.

(Not in the beginner's help thread, folks been most helpful there!)

Kastchey · « **Reply #25 on:** 12 Oct 2018, 22:30 »

Hey no problem! Here's a hug for you too:

Edit: Updated with a little less lame representations of Snarky and Slasher.

Teehee, Bishi is thrilled! I saved that image! I noticed Limping Fish is there too!

Kastchey sure knows how to give a good hug. Although I guess those vines do help.

As a couple more ~~victims~~ happy huggers updated their avatar links, here's an update!

It's like playing spot-the-difference with these group hug pictures.

I'm really chomping down on that dino tail, eh?

It's huggable AND delicious!

Kastchey · « **Reply #39 on:** 18 Oct 2018, 18:36 »

Indeed! As a ghost, you have the upper hand here because no one can chomp on yours!

And yes selmiak sir, you are late to the party but as they say it, better late than never!

I looove this chaotic group hug -

The way you did it is representing our AGS-family in a more realistic way than it could be done by taking a real photo.

At least most of us are looking like they have fun (with whatever they are doing).

Even watching my avatar gives the expression like it's being strangled. With the arms torn up in the air and the tongue already hanging out (that one red leaf at the mouth looks like it) it doesn't seem to last very long until I'll have to leave the group. Nonetheless I'll take part, spreading the love up to my last breath

Sinitrena · « **Reply #41 on:** 18 Oct 2018, 23:20 »

You know what this reminds me of? The village in Asterix fighting with each other. Let's be honest, that's just their way of hugging.

Am I too late to the fun?

Kastchey · « **Reply #42 on:** 19 Oct 2018, 01:27 »

You're in, Wheel of Fate!

Tabata, there's no quit option in this game, I'm afraid! But let me delay the moment of your last breath, here, this should be more comfortable...

A group hug can expand to fit as many people as required, that's the beauty of them!

I don't do hugs either, but my avatar loves them for some odd reason...

Kastchey · « **Reply #53 on:** 25 Oct 2018, 19:49 »

I call out to all avatarless huggers to get themselves an avatar.
You get pixelated ~~and strangled~~ in the process, who'd want to miss out on that?

Not obvious to me at all.

But awkwardly, obviously.

You must have changed something in your profile settings, which causes the link to the image to disappear.

Oh no arj0n you did not! No one posts in this thread and lives.

It even managed to outlast the burst of negativity that inspired it! Well done everyone!
