User blog:Berrybrick/Concerning stuff

Silly Berrybrick. Thinks he's a BFN who thinks he's a Berrybrick.

Nothing too heavy. Though the LEGO fan community has been managing to annoy me more than usual (not you guys though; I wouldn't be saying that to your digital faces if it were!) I'll save that for later, or try to keep pushing it down, though it has only gotten worse over the last few weeks...oh well, whatever.

Most of this is going to concern to stuff regarding my stuff regarding the Fan Wiki being moved back home, so it's not on a read-to-know basis if you want to know who is yelling at who. Sorry. None of that is here.

I just wanted to say that sometime soon I will be deleting a lot of my stuff (not all, but a lot of) and moving it to Brickshelf. I have already started here with DC, and probably got most of it (including uploading a few figures I never posted here). If you notice anything that is not there but should be, please let me know, but I'd appreciate if you made sure that it wasn't already somewhere here.

Anyway, the reason for this is that for years I had a huge template with a lot of redlinks of characters I did make a long time ago, but clearly wasn't ever going to make articles for. I didn't have the interest, but now I don't have the time either. The solution? Don't make articles! Just an infobox, a couple of lines, and a gallery. Maybe a link to a wiki or something. Because I am a true DC fan, this means deleting everything and then bringing it back with pretty new banners. Hopefully the process will be pretty quick....

Aside from DC, the only other pages which might disappear for a little while are for a couple of classical mythology figures that are circling around. Such classics as Helga Pataki aren't going to go away at all ever. Thanks internet!

As for actually creating new figures, I am working on it. And interested in branching out a little bit (if not just revisiting old ideas; who remembers my Princess stuff? :P ) so maybe that will happen. I am experiencing some technical difficulties at the moment though, so I don't know how soon anything will be. I'll hold off from deleting stuff until then.

I've always used that word gender inclusively, like the Spanish ellos. :P

Don't scare me like that :P I know exactly what you mean about articles- back when I had a group of like 5 custom minifigs I just stuck them on a theme page because I couldn't see the point in making articles for all of them.

The EB Marvel thread was annoying me around the time Civil War came out, that's probably the only time EB's annoyed me :)

Theme articles were a good idea. I don't like dealing with minifigure galleries unless they are done chronologically though, but that isn't so intuitive for anyone really.

Yep, it's mostly the Civil War set. :P I don't even know what it is about it, but it has me annoyed at the whole board. Usually it's just a couple of people. Maybe it is because there are people that think the truck is good and I don't? :P

I was annoyed long before that (for a completely different reason)- when around the time Civil War came out in Europe/UK, the mods didn't let anyone talk about the movie, not even in spoiler tags, just because the movie came out first over there and not the US. They didn't do the same thing when Star Wars came out (I think, maybe I'm wrong... I pretty much stayed away during that time). But it definitely didn't happen when Batman v Superman came out (which came out first in the US). And they call their site Eurobricks. That April Fool's joke about Ameribricks doesn't really seem much of a joke these days to me. I don't care whether they ban stuff completely or put everything in spoiler tags, but they shouldn't have double standards.

(Plus, I was lucky enough to see the movie before the general US release date, and I wanted to see what people were thinking the fourth set was at the time. Turns out it doesn't matter- was that truck even in the movie? :D Wait... people think the truck is good? The minifigs are great, but the truck is dumb...)

But, I haven't read anything after the set itself was revealed. These days, everyone just argues about completely irrelevant stuff, so pretty much I just log on once a day and skim for names like Just2good/CM4Sci/Sir von lego/Hulk smash/nrg (and Super Fish Oil of course :D) because the rest is a waste of time reading :P
