What would you like to see?

Okay, the PRS section is pretty dead 99% of the time. What do I have to do to get you people to post around here more? Tell me so I can attempt to please! I'm already posting sneak-peaks as I go (I understand that we're in the lull between chapters right now), and I've got threads for posting misc. PRS art, process videos, etc.?

- Character Q&A? Wouldn't include art in most cases- but I can start this back up on text only basis I suppose?
- Tokens? (These are in the works, actually)
- ???

-flails- Help me out here. I'm trying. </3 Is PRS really that bad that only two or three people on PXR actually read it? I know the other comics here don't seem to have as much trouble with activity. D|

I'd need to catch up on the comic, but I can try posting around here more. A character Q&A sounds like it'd be fun!

Thanks for the feedback! I really appreciate it! I'm not really sure if it's worth keeping this section around though. There's been talk about tossing the comics section as a whole out lately, so I'm trying to keep things active, but I can't seem to keep the PRS section itself active. Most people here don't read the comic and only post when there's an event/mod challenge going on. It's quite discouraging at times. The other comics thankfully don't seem to have this problem and get plenty of feedback, so at least it's not the entire comic section.

I used to have it so that every xx posts in the section got a bonus update on top of the regular schedule, but being on hiatus and knee deep in scripting/layouts isn't the time for that. And school makes it difficult to keep up the weekly schedule as it is. X_x Life is a pain. I'd start that up again if I think I could manage it.

I'll see to putting together a character Q&A, but I'm not overly optimistic. We'll see!

You mean getting rid of the whole comics section? I don't see why they'd do that with the PXR PMD comic soon to be going on, or do you just mean the sub-forums?

I'd participate in the character Q&A once I catch up, though!

Well, the entire comic area. I was going to wait a bit longer to do the PMD Crossroads thing, but the topic of the comics section being dead came up, so I upped the time frame for it. Trying to keep that alive. But yeah, I'm currently debating if I should request the sub-forum for PRS itself to be removed. It's pretty dead. xD

And thanks, I appreciate that! ^_^' I'll probably the Q&A up later this week/weekend. Trying to get homework done first. Then get some PMD Crossroads stuff ready. It'll be a craaaazy week.

[Suicune's Fire]

Hold up, hold up. Nobody's deleting the comics area. Don't worry, we're not considering that at all. It's been quite dead, but there are still active comics here and for as long as that's the case, this place ain't goin' nowhere! Plus, it's a really cool area. Worst comes to worst, it'll become a sub-board in the Artist's Easel but we don't have plans to do that anytime soon.

I wish I had some ideas for what could go here but I really don't. D: It's hard to know what to do without much activity. I love what you do post, though! The sneak peeks and progress shots and everything are awesome. B3 Sorry I can't be of more help. xD

Saw the other reply here so phew it's not actually going. Which is good; I don't know where I'd post my comic here otherwise. xD

Okay, sure! And just in case I get busy/forget, seriously, just remind me and I'll catch up on your comic as soon as I can. I wouldn't mind you going to me and saying "Hey, I posted the Q&A" or something like that. I shouldn't forget, but just in case. XD

There HAS been talk of removing/moving the section before in the past. And more recently. I don't always respond to things, but I do lurk anything and everything comics related. And considering how the TCG section went without any warning whatsoever... >.> Trust me, if I weren't worried, I'd have waited a bit longer before doing PMD Crossroads. January is always a tough month for me. X_x It's a little stressful. Not even sure I'll get an entry in for the character contest cause I've got a major project due the 2nd. D| It's alright though, I see plenty of good entries already. =D

But yeah... not really sure what to do with the PRS section now. I'm stumped. Everything I've tried, the sneakpeak threads, the contest a long while back, even posting updates earlier here than on the other sites. None of it has worked. The other comics don't seem to have the issue- which I'm glad for- but it's really draining trying to post updates here when it's quite apparent that a vast majority of the active PXR members don't read PRS or, in the case of most people I've referred to PXR, do so via SJ/DA instead. If I can't find a way to improve the activity here, it'd probably be best to just close the section down. Even the TCG section was more active than this. X_x'

I guess I'll give it through the first few updates of Chapter Seven. That's a while off, but I know that the break between chapters can be a bit of a slow-time even on SJ/DA. Not much I can put in the sneakpeaks thread when I'm working on script and layouts.

And it's alright. I appreciated that you and Scyther at least responded to this thread. I'm just lost on what to do here right now. X_x'

I need to start reading all these comics. I get too occupied with my 3ds and rpg games xD but yes a character Q&A would be fun x3 I support!!

Ah, no- the comics section itself should be safe for now. There's been talk in the past (partially cause I went on hiatus and didn't do much with the section for a while)- but it's picked up activity since the PMD Crossroads project got posted. It helps that I knew several people interested in the collaboration to drag in. ^_^ It's just the PRS sub-section in danger.

And no worries. Take your time. It's about... oh- 140-150 pages now? If you want, I can link you to flash-file versions of chapters that won't require the reloading of webpages to see each page. Or the first page of the Pages/Updates thread- if your computer doesn't mind loading 150+ images, all the pages are on the first post so you don't have to go through the entire thread. xD I try to make ways for easier reading whenever I finish new chapters (except for Chapter six, that isn't compiled into a nice swf yet.)

Oh, okay, well I hope the PRS section stays and can get more activity!

I'd love to see the flash file versions! I can start reading it tonight (I've read through a lot of it, but I'd like to refresh my memory and start from the beginning.)

I hope so too! Part of the problem is just that most people don't read the comics here. It's hard to be active in a comic section for a comic you've never read. xD

Here's a link to the first flash file: Note that I started this comic ~4 years ago and the art is really really bad at the start. So is the story. IT GETS BETTER, I SWEAR! -shot- I'm in the progress of redoing older pages while working on new ones. It's... slow going.

There should be links to the next chapter in the description. I have all chapters but the latest in flash file format so far. I should get the latest chapter put together soon, but meh. Lazy. xD

Yeah, I wish more people could take the time/had enough time to read them!

Okay awesome. And haha, I'm the LAST person you need to worry about showing old art. Maybe I'm just a weirdo, but I love looking at old art (both my own and others). I think it's awesome and it's also cool to see the improvement as things go on.

Okay, thank you!

Okay, thank you!

I read most of the comics on PXR and a big handful of them off-site. I just don't always have the time/energy to post a productive post. xD I need to be better about that myself.

And it's nice to see improvement, but my goodness, my old art was horrid. xD Please don't forget proper eye protection.

Yes, there was talk about how it was dead and if it continued to be that way then something's going to have to be done with it, but that was more when you were away and before a few other comics cropped up. :] It's past tense. xD So don't worry, we're not gonna do anything with it. I don't WANT to either. None of us do. =/ It was just a potential course of action given its limited activity. :< In all fairness though, it gets more use than some of the other boards so that's fine, haha. And yeah, the TCG board was a decision from the top because it just wasn't working. Sorry for not warning you; even with a warning I doubt it could have been salvaged, sadly. :c

Ah, I think what you're doing with it is fine. Yeah, I wish we had more people here to read the comics but sadly we just don't. >.< Hence the issue with activity of any kind. Outside this section, too. If only it was 2008 Pe2k. XD Then it'd be teeming with people. I don't think that's quite true... xD Plus, closing it would just bring LESS traffic here so that wouldn't do anything either--unless you don't want to maintain it anymore, which is fine (sad, but understandable), but please don't go closing it just because the forum doesn't have many people. =/

Well, just don't stress yourself out. If it's causing issues for you, then by all means do what you will with it, but you have to know that some of us here really enjoy your comic and I hope you choose to stay!

Yeah, that talk was right after I got back from my hiatus. That's why I went "Aww crap, better hurry with PMD Crossroads" - was hoping to ease in another week or two from the hiatus. But yeah, you know I'm going to worry cause between the comics section/s and Tokens, it's the only things I'm involved with on PXR. I'm pretty useless otherwise. D> I still wish I'd have gotten warning even if I couldn't have salvaged it. Those kinda surprises aren't fun. >.<

I'm doing as much as I can with the PRS section right now. It's so discouraging when the only time people sometime post is when there's a mod challenge. It's even better when I can tell by the post no one read the comic and were just posting for the challenge. xD But yeah, I'm not really sure what can be done to improve activity here. Maintaining it is a bit draining when it's so dead. I'll continue to try for a while longer, but if it doesn't improve, I'd rather put my efforts into working on script/layouts/pages. Trust me, I don't -want- to close this section down, I'm just at a dead end here.
