Mega Wolf Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 There is a big problem overlooking HD. The forums are dying. I know we're getting busier in our personal lives. But we seriously need to do work to keep HD alive. Rather than a dull little place with about 10 active topics, we need to fix it up and make it lively and buzzing once again. I know I'm one of those people who doesn't post often. But there is not way we can just let it die. HD holds too many memories. And I won't let the memories die, but we can't just let the entire message board die. It was once a buzzing, active place where I could post 100 times, no problem. But now I can post maybe 5 times when I get here because there isn't much to talk about. Let's fix this place up, shall we? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheesus Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 I have an idea... You know how there we have all these poems and such floating around on the board? If there was some way we could publish them all, that might be the literary equivalent of a new CD... And maybe even get a few opportunities if someone important likes what they see? I mean, we already have the stuff here, there just needs to be some sort of assent thing. But it could work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do we do that? *~*The Psychedelic Luau*~*The Astronomy Domine*~* I think part of the problem is that the HD albums are aimed mostly at kids who are too young to be on here. (I think legally you're supposed to be at least 13, but that might be different because the board mods each post). So the trick would be to make an album that appeals more to older teens or adults (that would probably mean taking away the high pitched voices, at the least.) Or just make a new single song and toss it around the internet for free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HampsterKing Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Thanks for all the interest in "reviving" this site. I wanted to comment on a few ideas/issues: 1) The site has not had any major updates in some time. There are many complicated reasons for this. That being said, we are now planning to update, update, update! 2) We are looking for suggestions/help. If you can make games or other interesting content, we are interested. Ideas are always welcome. 3) The Hampsters will be working on new music soon. Again, delayed due to the same reasons mentioned in number 1. 4) If you want to write music for the Hampsters, we are open to the idea. There are some requirements that need to be covered if you really want to do this, and that is best handled directly either by email or phone. You can let us know that you are interested here and we will contact you. (As you all know, we do not allow emails to be posted, but we can send to the address you used when you registered.) By the way, you are not limited to "kids" music. We do not want anything inappropriate (the Hampsters are not going gangsta rap anytime soon), but the Hampsters have fans of all ages, not just little kids. 5) When traffic increases, then we will gladly use the services of more moderators. 6) We are also looking into setting up an area on the site that would be similar to myspace or facebook. Any thoughts? 7) If you have anything else you feel you can do to help, we would love to hear from you. Thanks again, HK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you need videos to be compiled or given effects (visual or audible) let me know. [WMV or AVI, things of that nature. I dont yet have the means to work with Flash, although I can convert said .wmv's to .flv.] 5), I'm an obscenely active member, and as most members here could tell you, Im online most all day, just not one for posting or contributing. I'm willing to help moderate if needed. 6) Sounds good. I'd be willing to help beta test, moderate, or code parts of it. I have some experience making skins for websites, not so much designing them and working with a layout, but I can pretty them up. [The same can be said for this message board's skin.] 7) Im thinking that the lack of activity has to do with the target audience and first impression of the site. I've made several attempts at getting some of my other friends to join the site, and they turn it down upon hearing 'hampsterdance', and dont look any further in to it. ... I dont have any ideas as to how to remedy this, I just thought I'd let it be known. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 I suppose I could help with the music, as in make music in protools and send that for reference, and lyrics if I can come up with any for that song. I'm not quite ready at the moment to be involved with this, but it could be a possibility. I'll start thinking about if any of my current songs could be useful.

Jesse Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 I have updated my email address (I haven't used the other one since last summer ). I also have a possible choice for a song, called Breaking Free, but I made the song before I started using protools, so I'll make it again. And I want to come up with lyrics for it.

It would be for certain ages only (like over 13 or so) and we might even have a form that would need to be filled out and returned stating that the user agrees to certain terms and conditions.

Talk about baby boomers I also like some children's music, but not when a bunch of kids are singing out of tune, like those Kids bop CDs where they have kids sing along with an already existing song...I don't get the point of that.

lexxscrapham Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 okay, perhaps more a random thought than practical idea... once you got a song, might be kinda neat if you could get that Tirrel guy for a music video (the one who did the Ekkosangen animation), provided, of course, that the random violence isn't his signature.

wildcat Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 *~*The Grand Illusion*~*The Final CUT*~* The best way to do so is to have a new Hampsterdance album come out. How do we do that? *~*The Psychedelic Luau*~*The Astronomy Domine*~* Start writing!!! You are a phenomenal lyrics writer, so perhaps you can write the lyrics for a song or two. How does that sound? ~*The Grand Illusion*~*The Final CUT*~* You mean, I have to write lyrics for the littlest tiniest babies? or children? I wrote a journal entry on dA about HD along with a link. I also sent a note (PM) to a close friend on the site who says she'll check it out. *~*The Psychedelic Luau*~*The Astronomy Domine*~* HAHAHAHA! okay i seriously laughed at that, like out loud. And my dad stared at me. Okay, now with Homestar Runner aside, you guys have amazing ideas honestly, i have no amazing ideas at this time. my brain stops working around 9:00 Central Time, so I'm of no help, but i can bump this topic!

wildcat Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 and an idea has sprung to me! Maybe someone with like computer skills could make a little flash animation of the hamsters and post it on say youtube, myspace, the hampsterdance website. Like an animated comic book of the Hampton and the Hamsters adventures. Anyone able to do this sort of thing? My computer skills are limited.. so....

I'm not so sure I would use the Hampsters as there might be some copyright, trademark problems. But, if you could draw your own and animate them... or let me know if you are serious, I could always ask HampsterKing to see what he says.

Arkcher Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 There is a big problem overlooking HD. The forums are dying. I know we're getting busier in our personal lives. But we seriously need to do work to keep HD alive. Rather than a dull little place with about 10 active topics, we need to fix it up and make it lively and buzzing once again. I know I'm one of those people who doesn't post often. But there is not way we can just let it die. HD holds too many memories. And I won't let the memories die, but we can't just let the entire message board die. It was once a buzzing, active place where I could post 100 times, no problem. But now I can post maybe 5 times when I get here because there isn't much to talk about. Let's fix this place up, shall we? so I'm gonna quote this post to remind everyone that this project from like 2 years ago never really finished ;/ I drop by pretty frequently, but never see anything in the New Posts that catches my interest. so we need some totally awesome topics to get started D:< might I suggest making newer threads of the same subject as existing threads, for the sake of not having as much spam/discussion obscuring the metaphorical view?
