A Bright-splosion?

Posted by misterbright - January 17th, 2023


2023 has already started with a large bang. I've been putting far far more time into twitter than I have with newgrounds. The art forum isn't doing great right now so I haven't had much reason to gremlin scuttle my way through the forums in general. I haven't had much to say either so there's that. I dunno...just been doing my own thing I guess.


If you weren't aware, I have a twitter now and it's actually been going great so far. I've gotten over 150 followers in like 2 months-ish and not all of them are bots. I have gotten to talk and "moot" with a bunch of other art people and that's been wonderful. I've gotten to twitter follow a bunch of artists and I get to see all sorts of great stuff that I wanna rub my eyes all over. I seem to have attracted a lot of gals too, which makes me feel weird cuz I don't want people to think i'm some kind of harem weirdo (i'm just a regular weirdo). I've been trying to make friends with people and i've got some that i'd love to be friends with so hopefully those relationships develop into something great (i'm very hopeful).


I'm surprised at the amount of MINORS i've run into on twitter too. I thought there was an age you had to be older than to even have twitter, but i've seen plenty of really young people (13 - 14)...like wtf? I've avoided them like the plague and you have to be 18+ to follow me and 21+ for me to "moot" with you.


Something I haven't talked about here at all is something brand new: I have a discord now! I've been trying to get my twitter pals into it with varying success and we are up to 11 people myself included. My ultimate goal would be for people to wanna talk with each other but for now it seems like they only talk to me. I don't know how to make a good discord so it's gonna be some work. I haven't finished setting up everything but if you want an invite and are 18 or older, hit me up. Try not to be such a weirdo tho if you get in plz. I wanna have fun events where we can watch anime together or play art drawing games (or regular ones) or w/e.


I'm getting excited for the future for once.

You’ve basically had the polar opposite experience with Twitter that I had! I’m glad it worked out for you!

ive stayed in my lane and haven't wandered

My twitter is ded

rip in pasta

What’s going on with the Art Forum here? Honestly, I haven’t touched any of the forums in months, and I’m a tad nervous to check in on it now.

Mostly nothing of value. A bunch of spam got leaked into the art forum (one was about family guy). Ehhhhhh...

@misterbright Spam? Like people keep posting the same stuff over and over again or is it bot posts that attempt to redirect you to malicious sites?

Posts that have nothing to do with art

@misterbright Ah. I believe it’s because the new artists coming here want to treat that forum like their own general, but that’s just an assumption on my part.

...u just said u hadn't been on the forums in months. how wud u know?

@misterbright Like I said, it was just an assumption. Because there’s an influx of art posts here due to the exodus of DeviantArt and ArtStation, I would hazard a guess the misuse of the Art Forum is coming from new artist users.

I mean, some legit have issues with art dumping and improper ratings in the Art Portal, who’s to say they wouldn’t be irresponsible with the Art Forum as well?

hmmmmmm...you may be onto something, my dear boy

I didn't have much interaction on Twitter back when I had one, was useless so just got rid of it. It's wonderful to hear that things have been super positive for you there though! Art Discords, in my experience, have difficulties staying active for the very reason you point out. Most of us artists are either introverted, socially awkward, or otherwise experience social difficulties. I have no idea how to help change that exactly, but I could offer to join and try to help keep people engaged socially.

yo mr bright cat, i'm proud of you, glad to see you're doing good, i might hit you up at twitter later, miami is kinda weak on twitter so miami doesn't use it too much, and might a well hit you up on discord, i use discord sometimes, hails from brazil

its a shame you arent as active on here, i really like your art

Ive been active here for like 2 years...where u been at?

@misterbright you said you were putting more into twitter now

yea so?

@misterbright i thought that implied you would be less active here

I only have TWO platforms i'm on now since deviantart died
