Woop, new site design. How exciting. The only reason why I’m writing this is so that I can test the said design to the fullest extent. I might as well 
elaborate on some things in the process. As you may know, this is based upon the wonderful WordPress application and a heavily modified P2 theme. I was reluctant to move over to WordPress, but I’m now way over that and am itching to make some of my own plugins and other extensions like that.

Why EvilChicken Failed
Fantikerz
It began as a good idea, and a month later the ball was rolling. Max, Alec, Cameron, and I were going to collaborate on combining their majorly active sites into one large one. Several hundred thousands of visits a month was the plan, and we actually reached those numbers it in the month of May. This would be a big venture for all of us, but soon things went sour and 3 months later the site was announced to be closing until further notice. Why, you ask?…If you’re not aware of what EvilChicken is, you should go ahead and skip this entry. Things are going to get in-depth and it’ll be hard to understand at points if you weren’t there from the beginning.
Before I go on, I’d just like to preface this by saying that I’m not trying to shift any blame around, but instead outline the shortcomings and faults that led to the site’s demise. This should also serve as good reference material for anyone that wishes to start a large, community oriented site.

RuneScape Gathering 2008: Aftermath
Fantikerz
It’s over… and apparently it was a success. Billions (not really) of people showed up, and enjoyed
themselves… for the most part. Worlds 126 and 127 filled up completely, hours before the event even started.I personally hung out with Regicidal1 for a while, and we went over to Clan Wars and lost multiple times. I pwned with my Mith stuff… But hey, who cares about me?
Videos and pictures after the break.

Yet ANOTHER Site Re-Design
Fantikerz
I know, I’ve already completely re-vamped the site this week, but I was really hating that
black and gray theme I had going on, so I came up with a new one. Some things still don’t fit (the navigation buttons and the links at the bottom of the page for example), but I’ll change those down the road… I’ll promise you this time that this design will last at least a week this time… -
Next RSMV: Harder to Breathe
Fantikerz
Yea, the song is Harder to Breathe, by Maroon 5. Some people out there absolutely hate
Maroon 5 with a passion, and I don’t really understand why. I mean, their music is good, depending on what mood you’re in. The same thing goes for Fallout Boy, only because their songs are sort’ve catchy. Their lyrics are crap though.Anyways… preview the song and read a little more after the break.. Just hit the Continue Reading link.

4,000 Subscribers
Fantikerz
Thanks everyone for your suppourt, despite my video-making standstill… I really didn’t
think I would ever gain people’s interest in my videos, or even this quickly. Back in September, I thought, by this time in March, that I would have, at most, 1,000 subscribers. (More …) -
What if I Made Other Machinima Videos?
Fantikerz
Machinima Video: A video about games.
Now, I make RuneScape videos and all (and I made Sims 2 videos at one point too O_O), but It really starts to numb your head a little.. when you play one game, and only one game. That game would be RuneScape.. duh, and the only reason I really play it is because of the whole video-making thing, but those of you that really know me know that I don’t play much anymore — but I haven’t quit!…

How to make an Animated Icon
Fantikerz
Author’s Note: Please be aware that this is a very old post and is no longer very accurate. YouTube has since disabled animated .gifs and
most of these programs and techniques are out of date. This is being left up because it may serve as useful to some. Enjoy.Hey, if you have any questions, you should probably ask them here. There’s a better chance that they’ll be read and answered. Same thing with comments. There is no written tutorial. However, there is a video walkthrough after the break.
