I dont really know who the hell you are, but I'm sad your leaving. Hope to see ya on this site soon:)

Oh and while I was lightly skimming the content of this thread I heard somthing about the snarkpit closeing. IT BETTER NOT!!!!!!! I will support snarkpit till the very end. Just like halo

Good luck nickelplate,

aaron.

==========================================================

edit: OMG, I was reading this page offline and I had to reconect to the internet to say this. New people do not come here to have a chat, they come here because they are new to mapping or have a problem. I must say that I had a few problems with my maps (reddawn) and I dont know if this is still there but I started a new thread in the half-life1 problem seaction and it said that I must search for the problem before I can start a post. Thats when I thought screw this, I'm going to twhl. And thats what I do. Most of the time I need help with mapping, I go to twhl.

"i'm quite sure that if all the time that's gone into writing threads about the impending demise of the snarkpit had gone towards mapping, or learning aspects of the new engine, there would be no self-fulfilling prophesy to worry about." This is what fishy said an I agree with it.

I think that this site needs to be more user freindly to the newbies. Its needs more tuts and more people that are willing to help out the newbies, because they are the people who become super pros than a few years down the track, they help out the newbies, then those newbies grow and so on. I know that I am fairly new to the site and lots of people hate me, but one day I will have lots of respect and I will be helping people and know this site like the back of my hand and most of you people on now will not be on anymore. Than one day it sounds crazy to me but I will get board and discover more imprtant things and than leave. But that wont be for ages. I still use thae half-life 1 engine. I'm living in the past.

There is no need to include more games support and support consoles. The diffrent people would clash and it will get messy. However I wouln'd mind if you supported halo1 pc modding because I recently download the hek kit and will make some nice maps for halo <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">. All you people need to worry about is having a good time on snarkpit, and talking about half-life and modding, and stuff you can do with the engines and be cool.

The snarkpit wont close, dont make me lugh, however we need to attract the noobs and help them. Then they will be stuck to snarkpit. I know that there is alot of stuff that is so annoying about this site that will make it alot better.

I will add though, I dared a freind to go onto www.bungie.net and say that half-life2 and gears of war where better than the 3 halo's combined. And within about what was it 5 minutes?, there where more than 200 replys of angry halo nuts like me <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

==========================================================

If that was all messy than I am sorry. I am watching saw II at the moment and I just saw the bit about the guy getting burnt, and I am home alone becuase my brother is at a sleepover and my mum is on a date. Ooh la la. Also I will not re-read it because there to much stuff to read. Have a nice day. Just reflecting on what I wrote, its so messy:)

if you can't put the smallest amount of effort into looking through the editing section to see if your question has already been answered then there's no reason to bother helping you, and you have no business demanding the 'super pros' help you either.

yeah I didn't really read anything anyone else said, but you're not going anywhere... I've been trying to 'leave' for 5 years, but I keep coming back every now and then. Hell, I think everyone has lost track of how many times Orpheus has already 'left'... I won't even get started with Cassius...

I cant stop visiting this site from one time to another ... Its just...WEIRD !!!

I think SnarkPit has injected us with a rare fluid-like phenomenon that will attract you closer to this site, this is used by integrating Physic's LawOfMotion and Dalton'sTheory to accomplish such a thing, when an electron passes through the ionic charge expanding the attraction forces to a 105 degree angle, this means the polarity between the 2 atoms are Stronger, or sometimes Weaker...Thus leading to the increase of attracted particles to your Monitor and the Manipulation of your brain to type down www.snarkpit.net ...

This is all true...and one day, you will agree that this theory is TRUE...

Dont blame me, all what I said came out from nowhere ...

Where are the SP servers? We can use that and a frappr to calculate each member's individual attraction to the Snarkpit!

If you think it takes long to finish a map, than try to finish a mod with the highest possible quality. Wow that takes years.

Also I thought I might add a quick question. I have been trying to find a free, third party modeling program for ages. Does anyone know where I can find one. Please

Well, I'm taking years trying to finish a map mate, once i learn how to finish my maps properly, I might start thinking of joining a mod. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">
I know how much a mod takes though, been around the adminastrative side of some mods before aswell as helping develop just the concept of some mods.
Never done any level design for any mods though.

Hey I've left a couple of times myself, but this site...
... is addictive!
You actually start missing all the people on here, the whitty comments, looking at eachotheres maps, stuff like that.
Snarkpit won't die anytime soon that's for sure, ofcourse, it can have it's quiter moments, but I guess you Orph, and few otheres are REALLY active around here, the rest are just casual forummers that post every once in a while, but they do they're bit <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif"> and we do ours.

But I guess you have been around for somewhat longer than me anyway. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

I can personally guarantee that the only people whom think a discussion pointless, are the ones not posting.

If there is any discussion what so ever, the parties involved have a point.

I will admit that sometimes a pointless person makes a topic decline a bit but fortunately, there aren't many of those left here.

your discussing the value of discussion, something that doesn't need to be discussed as it is a fact.

Point made.

Everyone who posts, has a point. However their points value has no baring sometimes with regards to the topic, and becomes a distraction. That however does not reduce the point to valuelessness.

Right this moment, we are not discussing Nickelbag. Our discussion has no value on that but right this moment I am thinking that you sound like Doc Rock. He would pop in and post something exactly like you did and wait to see the firestorm. When it failed, he would go away in a huff and show up a few days later.

I am waiting to see if the similarity ends with this thread, or ventures elsewhere.

Again let me stress. The only ones thinking a post has no point, are the ones not posting. Otherwise any post has one, even if the post point is to cause harm... Which we will all agree is a point, albeit not a preferred one.

(Any similarity between you and Mr. Rock may be totally unintentional. However, the similarity is noteworthy and as such, is a point.)
