Title: Hi!
Post by: DBNext on July 17, 2017, 02:23:32 pm
My user name is DBNext. Maybe one or two of you will recognize me from Mangaraiders, and for those who don't, hi. I was a member over on that forum for nearly 5 years now, but I haven't been active in the slightest.

How did I find this forum, you may ask? It's kind of a long story XD

Roughly 2 or so years ago, I was sent a message by Lorenx, or Lumaria, as she's currently known. Nice to see you again, by the way. I look forward to re-reading your story and hopefully sharing in some critiques. Anyway, I wasn't active when I received the message, and when I did, it was pretty late. The message only mentioned the goal of creating a new forum, and even though I was interested, I didn't have any leads. Fast forward a couple years later and I randomly stumbled upon this place.

I'm an aspiring, amateur manga artist and writer and I am excited to share my stories and drawn comics with all of you; some are old and shared previously on Mangaraiders, while others are completely new and never before seen by anyone other than myself.

Anyway, I guess I mumbled on a lot more than I had planned. I realize that this forum is still small, but there's always a start to everything. I will be posting and participating soon, maybe in the next couple days, but for now, I just wanted to say hi. So, hi!

Hey welcome! Glad you're joining us. We get dead every now and then too but you're guaranteed a review for sure here. I haven't seen a single story. Maybe because of its size. But the more content the more people.

Can't wait to read or see your work.

Awesome. I'll be thoroughly going through this place and getting to know the various members, starting tomorrow hopefully. For now and from what little I've seen, I've got to say that I really like the look of the forum. Purple on black is a nice color choice, so props to whoever designed it.

Welcome to Manga Mavericks. I'm happy you like the Skin.

It was originally White and blue but I chose black background so that font colors could stick out. But was inspired by Lumarias color choice when she posted one of her stories and liked the colors she was using.

EDIT:So far no one has complained about the skin. I still atte.pting to add multiple skin options for people to choose. I hope you enjoy your time here. We have passionate people. We are still small but still passionate.

Hey there!
Some of us came from "that other side" too.
Hope to see some of your works!

So far no one has complained about the skin.
Then you already forgot about me XD

@Orchid: Thanks for the warm welcome. I'm here to stay, hopefully. And as you said, passion is what's important.

@変態: Thanks, I'll be sharing pretty soon. In fact I think I'll create a thread right now and post a more recent drawing. (By more recent, I mean one I just finished XD)

Wow, I'm late. Nice to see some activity around here. I had almost dropped out of here due to the tumbleweeds, cobwebs, and dust. I think my gallery might be screwed thanks to PhotoBucket, but I may post some things again eventually.

(And yes, I'm from the "other side" as well, although I'm not sure why some of the members here seem to pussyfoot around it. Every place has its problems, and MR is no exception.)

I've had issues with my galleries being screwed as well, on MR. I think I used to upload on FB back then, but now I've switched to Imgur and Deviantart, so hopefully my images will last longer.

Yeah, I recently had to switch to IMGUR as well. Third-party hosting can be such a hassle, but then again, retaining data for a site would be much more difficult with a direct attachment system. It's a struggle.
