It's that time of the month! Time to discuss the issues and other stuff!
Meeting time will be at 7 PM Central on Raidcall and whatever streams people make available. There will be a reminder beforehand.
One more reminder about bringing up topics: bring up stuff that affects the group as a whole. If you have a problem with a certain member, bring it up to a mod: this normally doesn't affect the group, and we can deal with it in private. If you have a project to announce, save it for the end. If you have a problem with a mod, post a call to review them in the comments: this does affect the group.
Topics to discuss for February (and remember: add more topics in the comments):

Topics to discuss for February (and remember: add more topics in the comments):
- Stop the drama, stop the fighting. Walfas is supposed to be our hobby: our little break time to hang out with our friends to animate, tell stories and jokes, and have fun. The Walfas community is about this, NOT causing drama. Lately, there've been too many people not getting along, taking Walfas way too seriously, taking community issues way too seriously, and not doing anything to resolve it. The fact that I had to get this relayed from people too scared to speak up should give you an idea of just how scared people are to confront this topic, while the rest will turn a deaf ear and say, "Spaz is just bringing up drama again." This needs to be addressed. The Walfas Station Wagon (indeed, all of the Walfas community) is meant to be a beacon of peace, a place to grow, to have fun with friends, and to share/enhance our creativity. We need to bring peace, kindness, caring, and (most importantly) fun back to the Walfas community, regardless of who says otherwise!
- Evaluation for mod GreenJake: GreenJake has been inactive for nearly a year now, and a number of members have been wondering why he still has moderator status. Should GreenJake keep his title despite inactivity, or re-earn it back when he's more available?
- Tweaking Folder Settings: We've been experimenting with the new folders, most notably the Prose folder (formerly the Fanfiction folder), and what do you all think so far?
- Anything not listed above: Again, if you have a topic that affects the group as a whole that's not listed here, please bring it up. Remember: if you don't bring it up, we can't know about it, and if we don't know about it, we can't fix it.
- Project Announcements and Publicity: Got a project you or anyone else needs publicity for? Now's the time to bring it up! Tip: Have a link and your DA name ready so Spaztique can link it in the minutes.
If you cannot make it, please post your concerns/announcements in this post. As always, with the possibility of bringing up controversial and hot topic, just remember: keep it civil. Luckily, most of the members have done a good job of keeping it civil, but always keep this in mind, as controversial or dramatic topics may be brought up at a moment's notice.
A reminder: I don't use DA much anymore.
Not sure if I’ll ever get back into using it again for multiple reasons, between the unneeded Eclipse redesign and the downfall of our once beloved Walfas community. Now while I can handle adapting to the site, we have a lot of work to do and not enough people to heal the collective trauma and rebuild a less toxic, more welcoming, and more resilient Walfas community, or whatever eventually takes its place. I’ve still continued my psychological research elsewhere, now focusing on anxiety, PTSD, trauma, abuse recovery, and more modern psychotherapeutic interventions. Hopefully, when the time comes, I can help do my part in healing our community and forging a bright future with everyone else. Until then, if you’re sticking around here, stay safe. There’s a damn good reason we Walfasers are fleeing DA, and it’s not just the redesign.
A few questions for new Walfasers
1. What is your biggest challenge with making stuff? Or, what do you need the most help with starting out?
2. What do you look for in a Walfas group? What features does your ideal group have?
3. If you could have one tutorial about any subject, what would it be?
Group Creation Guide 2021
“I can’t start a group because [group that has existed for longer] will get in the way!”
This quick and concise guide will help you get over that and realize anyone can start a group. It’s a lot easier than you think.
There are three “value disciplines.” Think of them like attack, defense, and magic in Kingdom Hearts: you pick one as your strength, and sacrifice one.
Quality and innovation
Speed and accessibility
Customization and service
Will you group do things higher-quality than everyone else? And if so, at the cost of customizability, or speed? And so on.
With a value discipline picked out, now it
Unlimited Prop Works - A solution to Walfas Props
I am the vector of my object,
Sprites are my body, pixels are my blood...
Okay, with that meme out of the way, time to drop a huge bombshell on the Walfas community regarding custom props.
Considering that most Walfas “props” are just clip art and tracings... why aren’t we using clipart and tracing libraries for props? They’ve got bazillions of objects and backgrounds, ready for use in Create.swf!
So, allow me to lighten to load with these links:
Open ClipArt
Public Domain Vectors
Just google clipart and you can definitely find more.
Have fun with your giant mountain of new props!

So I pray:
Unlimited

groups and guilds are not different I've had experience playing and runing guilds you want to know the quickest way to kill a group keeping everything secret groups are meant to be a team you have a problem when your ministration scares the shit out of your own members I'm not scared of admins if I personally know I'm not doing anything wrong there's no reason to be scared if you're not doing anything wrong if you get kicked out of the group for telling them what your problems are and what you would like to see changed then it's better for you to find another group
if you have a problem with this ministration of this group publicly stated in the town hall meeting if they kick you out for publicly saying what's on your mind and you didn't do anything wrong about the way you're doing it then it will be their fault they look bad in front of everybody else
