For a while now, our forum has been decaying. Just a year ago, we would be getting almost one post per SECOND. Now we get about one post per hour. On the standard of an official forum, we are dead.
Some time after this was recognized by a few people (me, for example), a few members started getting worried (I said they were too late). Many members voted that the forum was worth saving, but nobody took action.
Now is the time to take action. We can still save this forum if we put together a large, well-organized effort. If enough people PROMISE to assist in the goal of reviving the forum, it may just happen.
If you would like to join this organization, say so in the post below. Additionally, members of the group, and others if they so choose, should voice their ideas and opinions about how we can save this forum. Just try to be intelligent, and take this topic seriously.

Current Projects:
1.Montage
(COMPLETE) a. Scenes need to be selected for being recorded. Any scene from Banjo-Kazooie, Banjo-Tooie, or Banjo-Kazooie Nuts & Bolts. Cut-scenes, where the hud isn't visible, are preferable, but that is not a complete limitation.
(COMPLETE) b. A fancy opening needs to be made to catch the viewer's eye. A good beginning will make it look professional. If anybody is good with Adobe After Effects, nows your time to say so.
(COMPLETE) c . A song needs to be chosen for the video.
(STARTED) d. The video segments need to be recorded and synchronized to the music.
(Completed sections are open to be contested or modified if so desired).
2. Video Tutorials
(Not Started) a. Make video tutorials for building vehicles, and upload them to youtube.
3.
Update (Old. Voting has Ended):
Options:
-Toxicity by system of a Down:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWSxELGNShk
(3:39 long, musical variation, Serj Tankian (lead singer of SoaD) is a god)
-Mr.Grinch by Gary Hoey:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nohsj5yI9Gc
(3:10 long, No vocals, good for the holidays :3 )
-Zetsubou Billy by Maximum the Hhormone:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yplPRoBesok
(4:00 long, in Japanese, extremely aggressive)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Voting (I could add a poll, but that would mess up my post. Everything will be forced into one paragraph if I add a pole because of the HTML glitch, and I don't feel like dealing with that.)
What should the song be in the montage?
*Toxicity - 5
*Grinch - 2
*Zetsubou Billy - 0
Cast your vote with a post, like we did in the old'n days xD .
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Update 2:
The winner for song selection is Toxicity by System of a Down. All that needs to be done now is to record the recommended video sections. I will keep an update on what has been recorded.
Q. How long will it take?
A. No idea. Could be finished quickly or it could take forever. It depends upon how much school work I have and how engaged I am with other activities.
Q. Does this mean that I can't suggest sections to be filmed anymore?
A. NO. You can suggest stuff for me to record as much as you like! The more I have to pick from, the better the video will come out.
Q. Is there anything else I can do for the video?
A. Certainly. An excellent GAFA video intro was already made, but that doesn't mean I have to use it. If someone can make something better, I may use it for this video, or another one.
Also, this doesn't have to be our ONLY project. If anyone has another idea for a group effort, please feel free to submit an idea! The only bad ideas are the ones that may be offensive to other members, please be appropriate!
