I’m not too frustrated anymore (as I was a month or two ago) about the lack of posters, and have pretty-much just resigned myself these days to people treating EGN+ as my personal blog.

Maybe in the future, contributors will organically develop and/or I’ll hit upon some method to get more people involved, I don’t know.

I think part of the problem is that while plenty of people can appreciate the cool art of ‘BD’ and the little tidbits I write up, there’s not many people across the Lemmysphere who are all that knowledgeable themselves about Euro GN’s, and who also want to spend time posting.

This actually kind of goes back to my disappointment with Reddit users, in that I thought more would jump ship after learning about the many ways they’ve been disrespected and monetised by Reddit mgmt through various means. I.e., with a bigger userbase here, chances of more engagement with niche communities like ours would increase a bit. Ah, well.

Thanks, Blaze.
Appreciate. ^^

I think when they said that, the implication was that there was no need for such. I.e. it interrupted the flow of the story and didn’t add anything useful, other than perhaps pandering to a certain crowd.

Oh rabbits. Sorry FP, as soon as I’m done with Elvis, okay?

Oh, rabbits!

Well, if you’re looking for absolute perfection in a ST theme, good luck. It’s not like Mike Post or John Williams were writing these suckers.

That said, I thought Alexander Courage did a hell of a job on the original.

I find it ever-so-slightly pompous with all the horns, but otherwise, a cool remix of the original theme.

Seems kind of weirdly unnecessary to start with “Lemmy” instead of just going with TMBG, but whatevs. Subscribed to John & John.

Yeap, we’ve talked about that a few times now, and I thoroughly approve of and love your project (even listing it on my community sidebar).

I’m moreso curious what the heck’s going through Gallagher’s mind these days. Quality-wise it’s kind of shocking comparing his earlier stuff to current, and I’m not really talking about the absurdism.

Roddenberry from what I’ve read in multiple places sounded like a huge asshole to me, and nowhere near the ‘Great Bird of the Galaxy’ he liked to self-label himself as. Now yes, a very talented asshole, whose vision started the franchise, and certainly who put in much work on TOS (along with many other talents), but nevertheless a real PITA on a personal level who wound up burning most of his bridges.

Point is-- if Meyer lost his cool with him as a young guy, I wouldn’t be very surprised.

I’ve remarked this before, but I find it kind of unsettling how careless / sloppy Gallagher has become over the years in drawing Orangecat.

I’d guess some of that simply reflects his slackening attention to artistry, detail and original ideas over time, but it almost seems like there’s more… such as actual contempt towards the main characters or comic as a whole. Sort of like the opposite of clear-line geniuses such as Ketchum and Schulz right to the end.

I tried searching for annual subscribers just now and found nothing, but I’d be kind of shocked if the newspaper count hadn’t gone down in recent years due to the strip becoming more incomprehensible (even annoying maybe) to the average reader.

Ugh… another tragically late reply, hah.

So, how would such a thing appear to the users? Would it be like an auto-posting bot? Can you point me to a working example of such?

Umm… whoah

Ack, sorry for the late reply, Blaze! :S

Is there anything we can do to help?

Appreciate. <3
I think I’ve made the critical adjustment necessary, which is to not push myself anymore, trying to make one post per day. It was very ambitious, and it seems to have grown our subscribers a lot over the months, but it’s just too much for me with the low energy, aching hands & back, etc.

Other than that, I think my disillusionment with my community & Lemmy overall is fading a bit. Indeed, one has to keep adjusting one’s expectations across life, mais non?

Do you think you need another mod?

Yes, there are three distinct positions available.

My current mod to me is like an old friend, life preserver, and provider of cool Moebius stuff, but his time is limited for this extra stuff.

Insulation and decoration.

Pardon the late reply, but what would the walls themselves be made of? They almost look like layered cardboard there. Or maybe sheet metal.

Brilliant. Best of all three.

I absolutely BLEW MY TOP, then apologised profusely on my community.

Which is all good, I suppose, but… my sub still needs another mod.

I always think I’m at a dead end in piano, and my teacher tells me to knock it off because I’m way ahead of where normal progress is for an adult student.

So, hope I’m not offending you or anything– But… maestro, you ROCK at the owl pics and captions. So beautiful the captures, and ultra-witty, the expressions.

It really is like magic. ^^

Oh rabbits, this post is 17days old, now. :S

Oof. I think you’re right (2wks later, dangit!), Eiim.
Sorry about that. :S

@Servais@discuss.tchncs.de @discuss.tchncs.de, that was rude of me, and I apologise.

FWIW, I’ve posted a general apology in our sub’s general update if you care to look. Sorry again.

@Comment105@lemm.ee,

I’d personally attack you with something far worse than a silly goose. If I was on my reddit account!

Hmm, what do you think about rabbits instead of geese…?
