Does having this clan still mean anything? This is the only thread I visit on all of MTGS. If nobody wants [The Crafters] to be around any more, I can make the next title be [The Crafters] are on an extended vacation and just let it stagnate from there. Thoughts?
Oh, Lazy, I also want you to know that I'm currently constructing a playtest document for my rpg if you're interested. Same offer applies to Kah and Kank, obviously.
Hm, I guess I realized one of the problems we currently have... almost no one seems to be that interested in what others are doing (me included, unfortunately). RPGs haven't really been my thing (although hopefully someone else is interested)...
I have a lot on my plate, but I still check in here, usually once a day. Often we go a week or more without anything happening at all.
I know I barely have enough time to care about my own projects, and even now I'm procrastinating editing some audio for OSHA on Hazard Communication (super yawn) just to post this here. I haven't even played MtG now in many, many years. Life goes on and drags you with it.
Sorry guys, I've been quite busy lately so I haven't had much time for anything extra. I've been working on my bachelor's thesis, few course projects (one of them being "write an e-book") and whatnot.
Too bad I don't have a photo, but I did some crafting last autumn/winter between all of those things. To be more accurate, I knitted a scarf to madhatter (from Spirit of EDH) as a (belated) Christmas present. I could try asking him to send me a photo of that so I can post it here, but we'll see...

I've also been busy with piano stuff... I had to spend lots of time playing the difficult pieces I'm learning, so I don't even have that much time to write my own music these days currently.
Seems not much goes on - only things that are purely "art" gets looked at around here. Seems like most of us are just too busy to do anything that actually requires paying attention to lots of things.
Maybe I should set foot in custom card creation once again (not in the major contests or anything, just in some of the more fun games).
Starcatcher Mystic 2G
Creature - Elf Spirit Druid [Uncommon]
When Starcatcher Mystic enters the battlefield, draw a card. T: Add one mana of any color to your mana pool.
0/2
I'd give links to more of my audio projects too, but I don't because interest is always low-low.
Oh, not to mention an e-book I published on Amazon earlier this month. (Getting 4.6/5 stars average so far!)
It's X-rated, so anyone interested would need to PM me for the link!
In a dream world, I would probably record myself doing something at the piano tomorrow. In reality, I would probably just be too lazy to record myself (but I must practice piano, of course).
As for my card, I have a feeling it probably might end up being a rare if it actually existed, and I probably would use it somewhere, but it's also a card I'd feel disappointed to open as a rare... kinda.
Not only are we in limbo, but the Clans forum has been downgraded to a sub-forum of the "Talk and Entertainment" group, making it harder for others to find us.
In other news, I did make another music quiz here.
And as dead as this clan is now, it's lively compared to the other clans--only a few of which have even posted anything this year let alone in the last month.

Looks like The Crafters are the only clan on MTGS. The Family has migrated to Discord. Have you guys considered migrating to tSpy? It seems a little silly to have an entire section of the site dedicated to a single thread...

If another Crafter wants to carry the banner to another site, that's fine. I'm cool with retiring. It's been 6 years with me at the helm and I have little to no time or interest anymore anyway.
Huh, you're right. Looks like it also got retired. You could always do a thread in artwork/creativity, since that's what The Crafters are all about, right?

The thing about the Artwork forum is that not all of our creative work falls under that category either. It's mostly anything creative, not really art. For example, writing stories isn't really artwork, and neither are the quizzes I make.
And another thing I thought about - idle/silly conversation is a major part of this thread as well, and such stuff would also feel out of place basically anywhere else aside from tSpy (which is gone now).
One more thing... I heard the people from the Debate forum are also considering the idea of starting another clan, which means we won't be alone as the only clan... we'll see what happens.
So I've just been lurking as usual, not finding very much useful to say and since LG left I haven't even checked the forums as nearly as much. I think this discussion is something that's been a long time coming.
In my honest option the time of social groups within forums are kind-of dead. Years prior when all this stuff started, Facebook, Twitter and other social outlets hadn't really existed (or at least existed in its current form), Clans and social communities made sense as a way to find people to hang out and chat with while partaking on whatever the topic of the main forum was. However these threads, social clubs or communities built into forums just don't seem to attract people anymore with all the more efficient options like Facebook or discord or what-have-you.
With the moving us to a sub-forum, it feels like an obvious move that they're eventually going to cut clans all together. Short of somehow four new active clans getting made, and we start running clan contests again I think it's just a matter of time. No sense in keeping an entire section for about 20-30 users who don't even post in it every week, let alone day.
Honestly, I'm not sure what to think. I've had loads of fun with you guys, CC after CC, through the ups and downs and just the general conversations held here. I don't regret the time I've spent in this thread.
So I suppose we should have this conversation. What do you guys want to do? In the end, whatever you guys want to do I'm fine with but at the very least I'd like to update my member bio one last time if for nothing else but record keeping sake. Lastly, I guess in case I somehow never make it back in here or this is the end or if we transfer to a place I wont go or I guess I somehow get lost along the way, anyone on steam can feel free to add me id/silentadept.
As of 19 May 2017, currently 24 years old. Still playing magic, still crafting, still enjoying music. My favourite Crafter memory is everyone getting together to make the tale of the Avian Flew.
(P.S. Then again I could be entirely wrong about everything and maybe they've just moved us to a sub-forum due to lack of interest instead of a diabolic plan to remove the clan forums all together)
While I can't stand Facebook, I do have a Twitter account: @TheRealKank
I don't update it very often because most of the projects I do are the same old thing. (A lot of projects involving OSHA and that stuff's boring as hell.)
Sometimes I forget when a new cool project goes up if it's been a while since I did it and the people finally post it on YouTube or whatever and don't send me a link. There was a cool History of Zelda that I did for Commonwealth Realm about a month ago if anyone likes The Legend of Zelda series.
To be honest Kank, I'm about 75% sure I've heard you're OSHA stuff at my work. We have to take a yearly HazCom test and other things like that. Also I try to catch your youtube series (The shoddycast one) when I remember to actually watch my youtube subscriptions.
