The
Death of Awe Lettering
by the
night angel (9th
February, 1999)
Today, with this text file, I am killing Awe.
(This
time, I won't be doing the mistake I've done the last time,
which is joining a group I do not beleive in. Everyone in
Awe should be doing the same. I suggest you guys start another
logo group, so you don't end up in a stupid group like Avenge.)
I killed it once, in May 1998, because people weren't interested
anymore, or so it seemed to be. I was emailing them, but
no one was answering.
In
July 1998, I brought it back, thinking people would really
be interested in the scene and the group itself this time.
Of course, it was going good for the first few weeks, but
it didn't take much time to come back exactly like it was
before. People haven't been showing much interest in the
group so far. They do come on irc every once in a while,
to say hello, but not much more than that. But I do know
they were very happy to be in Awe, they liked the group,
even though it sounds contradictory.
I was
able to deal with that. I had realized even though people
weren't around much, they were still drawing every once
in a while. I thought maybe it was because when you get
really good, you obviously have been around for quite some
time. That would explain the lack of interest of most members.
But as I said, it wasn't really a problem to me. I was still
keeping people aware of what was going in the group by massnoting
them on the bot, emailing them on the mailing list, etc.
Recently,
I lost interest in the scene, but not in ansi drawing. I
mailed the other guys in the council, saying I was taking
a short break: I couldn't draw. All I was drawing looked
weird. During that break, I came on irc to see how things
were going. I heard Grindstoned and Absent Spinsister had
left because of problems with Fluor, but that they were
both back. A week later,
I came on irc again to hear that this time, it was Mr. Wrong
and Knocturnal who had left: they had left because of the
group's instability. Of course, I should not mention that
they were victim of their own instability. It's not the
members who create it, it's the council.
I wanted
to fix things out before leaving the leading of the group.
I started talking with both Mr. Wrong and Fluor yesterday,
to find out that whatever I was going to say, they were
not gonna change opinions at all. Mr. Wrong says there's
nothing to do with the group and that we should start something
else because if I quit the leading of the group, people
are gonna lose interest
because "awe = tna", has he said. As for Fluor,
he keeps on thinking the only ones who have interests in
a group are those who are on irc all day long. Too bad he
doesn't have anything else to do than being on internet.
They've
been talking about starting another logo group. Fluor even
told me to let Awe die and join their group instead. I told
him I wasn't gonna join. I've put a lot of work into Awe,
but obviously, it seems that it won't be able to stay around,
since the only guys I thought were good enough to run my
group, but more than anything, the ones I trusted the most,
ran away at the
sight of problems. And they're talking about starting their
own logo group... I wish them luck and am looking forward
to the day they're gonna realize they are having problems
again. And this time, I won't be there to support them.
I'm not endorsing their group.
Go
ahead, ignore my experience.
