I feel useless.....; I really do

I don't know anymore.......I feel like I have been wasting my life by having faith in this project for 3 to 4 years now when I could have been finding my passion in life, I've gone through depressing waves like this and they pass, but I just feel like I have nothing to do. I used to rp, but that has grown boring due to the delicine of people being on, and I try to write, but we really don't need any more scripts now do we? We really only need the season 2 finale episode on meekrob everything elese has to be planned out, and on top of that we haven't even release an episode yet!

It took in my opinion WAY too long to get the boards out and done, Swiblet was really nice to people about it and ALOT of people blew him off, that pissed me off and even though some people did do it and I appericate that, I still had this feeling that we would still be delayed further, now I get that Invader Con is coming up and alot of people are going so they can't be active as they were and some people do have alot of personal life stuff that has made it impossible for some to get on, like Cosmo, but I think that some people are just getting tired of all this waiting, I feel for alot of people that I knew before this that just dropped out and made a life somewhere else, I knew alot of those people, they were on the orginnal forum and I was proud to call them my friends.

Maybe it is just because I feel like I have lost all my old friends from the orginnal forum, which is why I feel this way, but like I said the fact that is took like what 6 months or MORE just to get the boards finished and revised is pretty annoying, not to say that also it took about one and a half years just to get enough people, which I get also because we have alot of people in high school and they do have lifes outside of this.

bottom line is that I'm really on fence on if I should just take a break and come back or just kinda drop off the grid, I honestly think that I should stay considering once we get Nubs out we will have alot of success with it and have a ton of new members on the forum which will be great, but at the same time I feel like I have this position where I always have to be there and comment on stuff, and if alot of you realize this about me is I don't post stuff......I mean I really don't I'm there when you need me, but I really don't go out of my comfort zone, but anyway I'm just confused is all and with are animators not really being on and such, I really just need to understand this.

See, I saw this coming a while ago. The point is, we really don't need new scripts any time soon. But... I hope that doesn't discourage you. It's alright, just do what you can for the project. I can't really help much either, but still, I'm here. I understand the frustration of being here so long though with nothing happening.

Thanks man, that helps I just feel like I will be need more if in the case people want us to go on and do something past season 2, if they want to we will have to figure out a plot leading up to Invader Dib or something, but that is something for another day.

I truthfully felt almost the same way you do right now, back when I returned in November after my computerless adventure.... well, actually I was pretty pissed back in August of the amount of unfinished work and also the fact everyone I knew was gone (I checked back up on the site in summer school).

But, I have taken on a more active role because I actually feel we might get started again. I'm now quite sorry for the thoughts I'd made that Skoo wasn't doing anything to further the project. My mind is quite terrible at points in its view of other people.

A break should be good for you GHP. Just take it easy, write some stories of your own, and come on home when you feel like it.

I'm really sorry you feel this way, GHP. I figured that you, having been here almost as long as me, would feel secure in the ups and downs of this place. It'll always slow down and speed up and that's how it's always been.

But I'll tell you one thing. Even if you aren't writing scripts, do you really have to feel useless? G4P has been practically heading this place. He doesn't draw or animate for us, and his voices aren't needed yet, but no one could call him useless. If you aren't active just because you aren't writing scripts, then that's a choice. And really, you have never come to me, asking me what you can do to help...you just stayed off of the forum for weeks at a time.

I think that a break would be good for you, GHP. Perhaps you will be more interested when we've made more progress, I don't know. But if the only thing you can think of to do is write scripts, then you should probably either brainstorm for some more ways to administrate the forum, or you shouldn't be an administrator - rather, a script writer. And if you need help finding something, please do ask me what you can do. I'm practically pulling my hair out, trying to do things for InvaderCON. I'd love some help.

I understand what you are saying,GHP. I have felt like that forum has been going a little downhill lately with the lack of progress and activity from members but like Swiblet said, the forum has its ups and downs and you just have to stick with it and do what you can to keep things moving. After InvaderCon I think things will start to pick up again and more work can be put into Nubs of Doom. Take a little break though and work some more on your own stories, I love being your editor and would like to see that you are making progress with your own stories. I feel a bit useless myself so I understand how you feel. Although I am thinking about trying out to be a concept artist. If you or anybody needs anything don't hesitate to ask me, I would be more than happy to help out to the best of my ability.

You guys are the best, even now you guys bring me up even when I feel down, I am trying to do more, but life is kinda getting a little hectic with my part time work and school, I have written two other script that are drafts on my computer so I do feel a little better, plus I might finish Battle for Meekrob, also I'm not so much a idea guy so much as a guy that get stuff done if you need it, and Swiblet if you need ANY help with what your doing I would be happy to help you out, as long as it doesn't invole extensive computer knowledge that of which I lack to an extent, but yeah I'll try to help out more while balancing my life more.

That's great to hear GHP. ^^ Trust me, I feel the SAME way when it comes to actual usefulness, I really wish I could board or animate or something. It's frustrating. It's hard to deal with, but there are MANY other ways to help out such as, spreading awareness, scouting talent, giving opinions about art, topics, etc. There are a lot of things to do here to help out, and yeah, we'll have our times when the site is kind of slow, but hopefully, we bring in a lot of talent during the IZFAS panel, and we can get the unfinished episodes out of the way so that we can get into the written episodes ^^ Also, I look forward to reading those scripts

I could try since I have a mic, but I don't have a program that I could tranfer the audio to unless I just post the audio to DA and someone puts it into a video for me then that would be awesome.

all I can say is that I know what you mean. I feel like there's nothing I can do to contribute to the forum. And when rps have become hollow and people I know start to disappear, that spark that keeps you here sort of dwindles. The difference is that I never had a role on the project or forum to begin with. I'm just another member that came and went. If I ever leave for good, or at least take a break, I want to know that I actually made a difference.

HEY HEY
MATTY
didn't you, like, draw these uberawesome dragons and things for that one IZFAS gift exchange on Christmas? Doesn't that mean you can draw epically amazing? Ever thought of helping with the artsy stuff? :B
Okay, that aside, I met you already since I returned which means you stayed. That's cool. I can understand that some people are frustrated from time to time from our lack of progress, at least I think... personally, I've never been very frustrated since I don't take this forum too seriously. I mean, I try to help when I can and I love spending time here, but I see it as a hobby and a chance to learn more about the TV show bizz and improve my art. So far, I've learned a lot and have greatly improved. Nnnnope, I'm not disappointed at all, it was really worth it! At this point, unless I learn how to animate myself, I'm happy that we finished a board reel and I'm proud of that, even if I only did one scene. I hope to do more in the future.
Okay, I kinda lost my point along the way.
I guess this turned into some sort of "hooray, IZFAS"-speech, fffh.
... You sure you can't help 'boardin' the other eps? :B

See now thats where my artistic ability lacks, I can't draw people, dragons and animals yes, very much so I can draw those no sweat, and those dragons took like.......maybe 2 weeks to ink and actually make an outline for them so it takes awhile to do. I can try in my spare time to do a rough outline of them, but no promises, thanks for making me feel better about that even though I doubt my artistic talents.
