pr gLUE! Catch Twemty-Two RANTS Glue Thirty Well it s finally here A lot has happened within the glue camp in the past two months First of all if we were following our regular release schedule we should have released this pack on january 31st It s March 3rd right now Are we late Well not technically Glue is no longer following a regular release schedule For many groups this step has lead to either such scattered releases that it s pathetic or death Glue is neither pathetic or anywhere near death Infact this new step will allow us to release higher quality packs on our own terms as well as bond more as a group I ve posed glue as a family for the past 29 packs and it seems that only after this thirtieth pack and my absence has glue actually become a family I havn t been around much at all in the last two months Whether it s been my busy schedule lack of motivation or lack of interest in the scene I just havn t taken my usual active role in our ansi scene People tell me that I m a morale booster that I m a fountain of positivity A few people have even told me that the scene has been falling apart in my absence I don t know if I deserve that type of attention or if I even actually have that important of a role in this scene To be honest I m not sure if I even want it I will tell you what I do want though What I do deserve I want everyone to be positive I want everyone to carry a barrage of positivity I want you to know that you have value I want you to know that you too can have such an important role in the scene that without you things can fall apart We all have intricit roles in the scene We all have the potential to be a legend With this type of attention directed towards me I feel as if others are being kept out of the spotlight It is not I that keeps things together in this scene It s you It s all of you But I will shove a little modesty aside and give credit where credit is due Glue keeps things going in this scene Glue s become the factor in the scene that binds it together Glue is the best there is was and ever will be I say that without feeling one bit arrogant because I know it to be true I have pride in Glue and all of it s accomplishments I am so incredibly proud of every one of our members so incredibly proud With things falling apart left and right in whats left of our scene Glue has always been able to hold it s own It s been a role model for new groups and a basis for comparison for old ones We ve outlasted so many Seen so many fall so many have their 15 minutes of fame And as we approach glue thirty we all know that the role Glue has grown to hold is too important to label Glue is everything that is true and pure in the ansi scene Glue is forever With the people crying for leadership and inspiration we offer Glue The need has been fulfilled and it forever will be Because as I ve said many times before my friends ansi dies with us Ministar RANTS If anyone cares I am back! I am however going through a lot of life changes right now I am no longer living at home no longer living with my parents(very happy) and no longer a laid back guy would just causes trouble on IRC switches groups every other month and watches all his previous groups die Everybody idles around talking like they got something to say but nothing comes out worth reading no solutions only complaints I mean most groups die because the leaders are having a tough time in their lives and the members just watch the group crumble and begin to blame others about the misfortune! Glue seemed to be going in this direction but I realized something a group isn t just a leader running everything and having artists draw for the group A group is a team and as a team we must pull together in times of despair and do the impossible! So that brings us to GLUE #30 2 months late our fearless leader having some problems and us members pulled together to release a fairly decent pack! WE DID NOT SIT AROUND AND DIE! WE DID NOT BLAME OTHERS! WE DID NOT DIE! This is something I am proud of why Because we didn t fall victim to this great virus that is sweeping the lands of the scene we aren t just another memory left to rott away like the rest of the scene In final GLUE is the best and will always be the best! We own USED We own EPIC WE OWN ALL OTHER GROUPS THAT REMAIN! Thank you for your time! zeroVision whispers coldly Ahem I had something to prove this month I set out to prove that glue was the powerhouse of the art scene I look around and i see no equals We are still waiting for someone to step up and take the challenge Yes we have the first and last word because we have earned it There are no childish rivalries There are no disputes among members We stand united at the brink of a new era of ansi You all whine and bicker about the scene being dead I can see what you see not and it is rather difficult seeing as how i lack the vision to see how your scene is eating itself from the inside out BBS s are coming back along with the art to sustain them I have a full workload of school and yet i continue to draw what s your excuse There will be no death of the scene only a new beginning Header by President
