Topic: Would You Mind Stopping By?

Hi there.

It's me again, BrixForce.

I would like to ask for your time to visit our site BrickFilms.com.

Since the site have officially launch recently. Some would say we are advertising (obviously). But the truth that I posted in here is that to get the reactions, feedback and suggestions to the fellow brickfilmers here in BrickinMotion.com.

I know I am annoying, but I really hope no one would misunderstood the intentions i have. And I don't mind if you don't register or be part of the site. All I ask is a little of  your time.

Thank you! mini/smile

Re: Would You Mind Stopping By?

Hello

I for one, believe that your site is not a lost cause, and that it brought back to its former glory.
Long ago, I looked at it all the time and got tons of great tutorials from it.

I do have a bit of feedback for you...

Make the films in the 'Films' section viewable without download. Let users embed from YouTube, Vimeo, or something like that, because I think people are more likely to watch something if they don't have to download a potentially dangerous or explicit file off the internet.

Is it me or does this count as spam?

I want to say it's spam, isn't it advertising another website? mini/XD

I for (another) one, am used to BiM. So I prefer it. I've "grown" up with it, i.e. in real life and in brickfilming. mini/smile

Re: Would You Mind Stopping By?

The first thread was locked. Also, it's basically the same thing as brickfilms.com, a site that people devoted their lives to, and later a massive exodus to here began. You basically moved the brickfilms.com server, and made the site sleeker.

Re: Would You Mind Stopping By?

Here are the rules of the internet: http://www.bricksinmotion.com/forums/rules/
My interpretation is that you are allowed to advertise stuff if it is something that really matters. So it is of course up to the moderators of BiM whether Brixforce is allowed to promote his forum, but I would think that it is okay.

Also, I found this thing which might be a less obtrusive way to advertise.

Re: Would You Mind Stopping By?

Hi. Thank you for all the comments.

My last thread was closed due to some members arguing about the forum. And I believe this thread is on its way to be closed. I don't see anything saying for you to join the forum I mentioned. It is up to you to join or not. And I do believe BiM has nothing to lose by me advertising a site. Brickfilms.com is lightyears behind by BricksinMotion.

Re: Would You Mind Stopping By?

BrixForce, I suggest that you stop "advertising" for Brickfilms.com and leave us alone. Last time I checked, the site was still out of service. And that's because, people have adapted to Bricks in Motion and they don't want to go back. People are very happy without Brickfilms.com.

Re: Would You Mind Stopping By?

That wasn't very nice, Mickey. And BrixForce just made a new Brickfilms.com, why don't you check it out?

Re: Would You Mind Stopping By?

Yeah...
Can we all at least try to stay positive?

Re: Would You Mind Stopping By?

Meh

Re: Would You Mind Stopping By?

I dont think this is spam, and I think your attempts to bring back Brickfilms.com are admirable - but its like an old childhood home: we've all moved on and even if we do return its never going to be the same.

Now, if you bought it back during the days of 'The Refugee Camp' - then we would have all returned...

Mickey, the reason I keep on advertising and not living Brickfilms.com is that the forum really experienced many consequence over this past years. I just can't take that the site was ruined and turned into a ghost town. Some of many successful animators and independent film makers have been on the site. The site was there source of information when they were still on the start of there taken career. It really is heart breaking knowing they are leaving just because something and someone is making a argument.

To be honest, BiM is the 1st brickfilming site I registered on. The site was really useful in my animation projects. Very detailed tutorials. Then I end up signing up for the both. Even though Brickfilms.com has no one to talk to. It has great resources and tutorials like BiM.

I really oppose on some making the both sites having a war or something.
I like both sites to get along.

Me and some of the old members are really trying to resurrect the forum. Thinking for some interesting features to add so that the members would not be bored staying. All I ask is for some of you to not close the doors of having two forums. But then again, I don't force it. I know some would say "I'm contented with BiM", and I totally respect that.

I know I am such a headache. So please forgive me for explaining.

Re: Would You Mind Stopping By?

The way I see it, the hobby is so small that there doesn't need to be loads of sites, therefore meaning we are competing for the same people. If we are competing for the same people, then you should find other means of advertising, youtube, being your best resource, and if new people see your site they may hang around for a little while... until they find this site....

Re: Would You Mind Stopping By?

That's quite a good point...
(If you google brickfilming websites, brickfilms.com is the first, BiM being the second).

Re: Would You Mind Stopping By?

After much confusion (because I had made an account on the old version and had not remembered which email adress I put in if I forgot my password) I finally got in to my account. So yeah! I have an account on this!

PS: All you other dudes just have mega butthurt. Don't be afraid of progress. I have no clue which site is better though. mini/smile

Re: Would You Mind Stopping By?

Although we understand that you ar trying to bring back the original Brickfilm.com we don't usually like advertising for other sites. Granite, it is well organized and thought out. I my want to get to know this site more.
