Business as usual around here, then.
Hasn't been business as usual around here for months if not a whole year but ok.
I believe that response is worth what the kids these days call a "whoosh."
Consider how many people found MFGG through sites like YouTube already, and consider that the site just needs some new blood? Damn straight there's gonna be assholes and trolls and toxicity but that's why we have a moderation team - to cut that s*** out. I found the site through Smack Jeeves and wanting to make sprite comics, and that community is plenty full of toxicity and trolls and such and such. Consider how many found the site through Newgrounds and flash games and animations like Super Mario Bros. Z.
Consider not being a gatekeeper and just accepting that perhaps perhaps perhaps the risk of getting a few dickheads is worth the potential many returns of new members who could potentially do all sorts of great and cool things for the site.
Speaking of dickheads, maybe you shouldn't be so rude. I haven't done a thing to you.
Well, now you've implicitly called me a dickhead, so
Your concern is just ridiculous. The site's had a twenty-year history of trolling and toxicity and that's never gonna change because the world is always going to be producing more, all the time, forever. But it's producing much more good than bad - I'd like to hope, anyway - and just shutting down a potential opportunity for growth just because "well some meanies might show up" does nothing but keep the site closed off to the outside, closing the gate, and ensuring stagnation. It is very much being a gatekeeper.
Falcon Punch is the result of the Sun heating fists. It drives the Blue Falcon. Heating causes destruction of water into the pain, where it then hurts, creating rain. Rain creates flowing water in tears, which can then be converted into other forms through more pain.
