If you read menewsha's little comic I'm sure you'll see why [yes] there was a bit of an "incident"

geminick 08-19-2014 04:41 AM

Ooooh, yeah, they have a comic? NEAT. Um, not that I probably couldn't find it myself, but where should I look for it? XD

The Wandering Poet 08-19-2014 04:46 AM

Chapter 1
Chapter 2
Chapter 3

Eventually we couldn't afford to maintain it, but what we have is pretty good [yes]

geminick 08-19-2014 04:56 AM

Afford? As in, the artist got paid or do you mean something else? It's a shame though, it's looking real good!

The Wandering Poet 08-19-2014 05:02 AM

Yeah, menewsha didn't have a big enough income [yes]
All of the staff (to my knowledge) minus the pixel artist are volunteer.

geminick 08-19-2014 05:05 AM

Aaaah, that kind of sucks I guess. Too bad the income wasn't enough in the end. But perhaps it will be, one day. :)

The Wandering Poet 08-19-2014 05:08 AM

One day indeed ^^
The owner is keeping us around though [boogie]

geminick 08-19-2014 05:16 AM

Yeah? That's nice. ^^ Is it the original owner or has Menewsha been taken over by someone else? I joined back when it was first staring out. ^^

The Wandering Poet 08-19-2014 05:18 AM

Menewsha has had a few owners [yes]

geminick 08-19-2014 05:22 AM

Mmmm, I thought so hehe. That is kind of sad, yet kind of nice, I think? Development has never been completely dead then, I suppose. ^^ It would be awesome to start a site like this on one's own one day.

The Wandering Poet 08-19-2014 05:26 AM

It would be yeah, but avatar sites like this aren't very popular anymore. Menewsha would need a very big upgrade to appeal to modern popularity requirements [yes]

geminick 08-19-2014 05:29 AM

Mm, I know what you mean. Just look at Gaia and all the stuff they have. x_x Then again, Gaia scared me off, since it's so huuuuuge nowadays. I wonder what kind of sites are popular though? (I feel old now. x_x)

The Wandering Poet 08-19-2014 07:46 AM

Well, even they are suffering (though a lot of it is their own undoing)

I don't know what's popular... I mean... I think it's social networking now? Or... something...?

geminick 08-19-2014 11:13 AM

Mmmyeah, I guess you're right... :/

Hmmm. Tumblr comes to mind when you mention that. Before that, it was Twitter, I think?

The Wandering Poet 08-19-2014 06:07 PM

Ah yeah... reddit as well from what I've heard.

Now if virtual reality came out... now that would be cool [lol]

geminick 08-19-2014 08:54 PM

Aaah right, Reddit. Nightmare to navigate, if I'm not mistaken. Haven't been there for quite some time though, so things might've changed....

Ooooh yeah! :D

The Wandering Poet 08-19-2014 09:12 PM

Maybe with the occulus rift and all that coming out maybe in 10 years mene can be a virtual reality :D
(Okay it'd probably cost hundreds of thousands of dollars but one can dream)

Hard to navigate? Hmm... wouldn't know... I only ever end up there via google [lol]

geminick 08-20-2014 07:01 AM

Dreams are good. XD Who knows, right? XP

Haha, I see, I see! :D I joined Gaia a couple of times, like ten years ago, I think? I thought it was overwhelming even back then...

The Wandering Poet 08-20-2014 07:13 AM

It is a bit overwhelming huh? But imagine taking away all the "bumps" how much slower that site would be [lol]

geminick 08-20-2014 07:15 AM

Haha, oh my gosh, yes! XD I wouldn't even be the same site anymore, hahahaha!

The Wandering Poet 08-20-2014 07:35 AM

That is very true. It would also be a lot easier to have conversation...
I always hated trying to talk to people through bumps...

geminick 08-20-2014 07:44 AM

Mhmmmmmm... It's really annoying, I hear you. :T

The Wandering Poet 08-20-2014 07:45 AM

Mene thankfully doesn't have that [yes] We even have this cool auto-merge thing too :D

geminick 08-20-2014 07:48 AM

Oooh, now that is neat! I wish Gaia had something along those lines too... :P

The Wandering Poet 08-20-2014 07:53 AM

I'd want to be there to watch the mass hysteria when people can't bump for their 5 gold [lol]
