Good day everyone!


After 11 months we have more than 500 members and 16k views. I have been thinking for few months to change things in this group. To make things, easier and more useful to everyone. I will keep this short so here are the full list of changes are made.

:new::new::new: Update 3:
:bulletblue: Added folder 'Advertising or Contest related arts'
:bulletblue: Added folder 'Adoptables arts'

:new::new: Update 2:
:bulletblue: Added folder 'Resources and Stock images'.
:bulletblue: Minor changes everywhere.

:new: Update 1:
:bulletgreen:      Everything is set, you can submit now!
        (But be sure to put your arts in the corresponding folder!)
:bulletblue:      Extra folders added see the list below(folder for crossover arts).

The changes:


:bulletblue:      The gallery are sorted by the 'type of technique' (alphabet) used to draw/write/make art etc. instead of  'sort by artist (alphabet)'.
:bulletblue:      No contest any more unfortunately.
:bulletblue:      Every member can submit without approval but are limited to submit 7 arts each week (to avoid mass submissions).

And more.....

Changes in the rules:


:bulletyellow:       Every member must submit their arts correctly or you will get a warning.
:bulletpurple:       Don’t put effortless arts or poorly drawn/scanned arts!
:bulletred:       Any form of 18+ (gore etc.), stolen, screenshot and generated arts may not be submitted.
:bulletorange:       Warnings will be given if the member violates, one of these rules.
:bulletred:       Too many warnings results ban(without a reasonable reason)!

Congrats on your victory, may it drive you to continue succeeding.

In other news, I regret to inform you all that I will be taking a leave of absence from managing the group. I haven't had very much time to get on dA and as such, submissions have been expiring and I've been forgetting to close contests. I may pop in and clear out the group inbox from time to time if I can, but don't expect it.

That said, I'm going to leave off of opening a new contest for August, seeing as how I have no idea whether all the submissions will be accepted.

Cheerio for now, anyway. It's been a slice.

So, my life has been extremely hectic lately, and I've been having trouble keeping track of everything going on. This isn't really an excuse for constantly forgetting to close our contests, but I just want you to know where I'm coming from.
