Maybe elitist was the wrong term, but I just wanted to make the point that anyone can join. And I will be looking forward to your return, Haddas.

I want to see some new faces. I don't want stickam to seem some kind of elitist group, however we all do get along. So if you are reading this and are unsure or feel awkward to join, I say join! We are all friendly, clean and house trained, so just try it out.

Many thanks to all who helped, especially to Indie who has failed his university course in order to do my graphics.

Go Team!

Yeah it is getting worse and worse. One session it took a good 2 or 3 mins for a message to be posted. I ended giving up, cause conversation was impossible unless you were on microphone.

Two awesome backgrounds from two first time posters, this competition is surely atracting new talent.

Actually all the entries so far can be described as awesome

Another ghost post to host  Sadly I missed this one but great entries guys

Man, at least this thread isn't just about the links

Did you lie, boyd?

Aw I can't remember all the of the acronyms.... Good times

Well sorry if this post is pointless. But may I just ask why you don't like my attitude, layabout? I believe I took a very open-minded approach. I explained my point and also understood why they did do what they did, but I suggest solutions to the problem that aided both sides. So sorry unless you want me to be very egotistical with all of the problems I face, I don't see how my attitude was bad.

However an event in my life shouldn't really be a topic of discussion in the forums. So I apologise.

Maybe you should post here

Just to say densming's video tutorials are AWESOME

Reply: I did tonight 

Yeah, well I don't regret posting this. I understand that they have the right to do this, but allowing us entry earlier on, then not even wanting to look at any form of ID later... Just I feel like I made my point that I didn't want to drink there (being rejected or not) but just to get to my friends, who didn't have a clue about this whole thing until this morning. I just felt discriminated. For the only reason, because I knew this guy and spoke to him about 5 mins after he was rejected for re-entering the pub. Just it doesn't seem fair. What was I going to do? Just ignore him because he was rejected entering the pub again. Just this has really annoyed me.

Only I apologise that I am drunk when writing this, BUT I AM OUTRAGED!

Basically my friend decided to leave a pub for a breather and to enter again in 5mins. Well about 15mins past no answer on his phone so I decide to go out to find him. Basically he is rejected entry cause his ID doesn't match himself. But it does. The ID was a passport(hard to forge) which included his date of birth and his photo. The only different was his photo he had a skin head(terrible I know) but now he has longer hair. And he says that this picture looks like a brother that is older. They bouncers wouldn't look at any other forms of ID such as bank cards and national Insurance proving his name sake(not picture Identification). Well he was rejected so I speak to him for about 5mins and try to re-enter to tell the others what has happened and we were leaving. Now I have been rejected. My Id wasnt checked. They would not look at anything I produced and said I was rejected for the night. Now that is discrimination. I explained I only wanted to go on to find the others and was happy for one of them to escort me to do so. But the fact that I spoke to a "seemly" under age-er I was now not allowed to enter.

Now my problem ... The fact no one looked at my ID as I was willing to show about 4 different sources, 2 of which had photos and 3 of which ahd my date of birth. I was labelled as rejected as my friend was because I spoke to him. Now what if I was was about 20years older
obviously over 18 and doesn't needed to be ID'd. Or even If I was a parent trying to get their under age child to go into a pub. They wouldn't personally be rejected. Never.

I think this is ridiculous and the main reason for this is that the police was present about 3 time tonight at that pub. For unrelated criminal offences. And they would not let anyone who seemed under 21 in. Now that is prejudice. I have a right to drink there and have been drinking there for a long time (well since I was 18). It seems rather ridiculous.

Now I understand they don't want to cause a major conflict, but even when I explained my intentions and showed my various forms of Identification and even was open to one of the bouncers to escorting me to my friends(keeping an eye that I would be away from the bar) I was rejected entry. Hence the pissed off state I am in presently.

Also may I recommend this AGS tutorial. The one linked is relevant to your 1st question, but I would recommend watching them all.

Just beautiful http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsW8zctD7CM

Sadly I missed the deadline of the comp but I did work on an entry for a little while.

And for stickamers

This is different for everyone, and it will change over time. Sometimes you've got the flow, sometimes you don't.

You've been here for like half a year, which is a bit short to make statements regarding community trends.

I personally think that the community is in a very optimistic and constructive phase, with lots of people returning, lots of games released - and in progression, lots of funny stuff going on.

I have been here longer, just I started to become an active poster in the last year or so. Although I understand that I can't make big claims over what the forums were or should be. Still I just feel there is some kind of void.

I dunno, it might just be me.

I feel like I am totally out of touch with the lives of the great AGSers!(YOU)

Now don't get me wrong SSH's Blog is awesome and he should get a massive thank you from each one you individually. Although I can't just get my AGS hit from a blog. I just don't feel I see the same creativity of the AGS community as I used to. I used to love reading the forums, getting thousands of ideas and totally impressed by the talent we have in the community. I was proud to be "part" of this community. Now you could call me a hypocrite for not posting as much others, or call this is as my own creative block and my individual problem. But I can't be the only one that feels that the forums could be so much more. I'm not demanding the monkey to dance, but I feel the community has lost its connection (as a whole).

I just wondered if anyone was feeling the same way?
