:new: Yes, this would be in your best interest to read. Especially if you're one of those people who submit art weekly.

As we've been getting many complaints in the general field of our Submissions process, and the gallery folders itself, we are going to be switching to a very different kind of gallery to avoid more confusions and to make our work load a little easier. Don't think we're being selfish here. We are doing this to making things easier for you when submitting so you don't get confused and end up putting stuff where it doesn't belong, and thus, easier for us to get through the work.

Now, you should probably brace yourself for this, especially if you've invested a lot of artwork into this group. We will be deleting mostly all existing folders (except for other, literature, comics, featured and cosplay) and installing new folders. Mainly, there will no longer be individual folders for individual animes and mangas because the original and current system (the one set up on the launch of this group) are a little confusing for those submitting and very difficult for admins who don't know a specific anime, which in turn, may end up accepting artwork that doesn't belong in that folder. Yes, I know. I'm sorry. But this system isn't working well anymore since the influx of newer members. And we have been getting many, many complaints on how this group is run and the rules that it follows. So we will be updating the system.

Roughly, these are the folders that will be installed (or kept, be aware that these are only to give you a rough idea, it may not turn out this way)

:bulletblue:sketches/WIP/lineart
:bulletblue:Original artwork digital
:bulletblue:Original artwork traditional
:bulletblue:Fan Art Traditional
:bulletblue:Fan Art Digital
:bulletblue:Crafts
:bulletblue:Contests
:bulletblue:Other (for those who are not sure where it goes)
:bulletblue:Literature
:bulletblue:Comics
:bulletblue:Featured
:bulletblue:Reference sheets
:bulletblue:Cosplay photos

So, that's the bad news for the day ("Ugh, we hate you now, Founder!") Once again, I'm sorry, but the decision is permanent and settled.

----> If you want, you can withdraw all your pictures you have submitted in case you have deleted them in your gallery, and there's certain ones only existing in ours. I'm not exactly sure if that can actually happen (existing here, not in your gallery) but hey. If you want to, you can. Because all the folders will be gone anyways.


:bulletyellow: The initial renewal will begin tomorrow (or yesterday for those who live nowhere near the interior of North America or in Europe and farther east) at about (or anywhere near) 4-5 p.m. (-6:00 of GST) at Canada CST (Central Standard Time.) So...okay, a little confusing. Anywhere around 4-5 p.m at Canada Central Standard Time, if that's any simpler.....

All folders will be closed at that time and will remain closed until deleted. All new folders will be set up and opened all within in the same day I'm hoping. If not, I'll make another journal to inform you of possible later openings.


:bulletred:Also, the rules will be modified a little and section in the welcoming box will be devoted for the journals and modified rules. After this is all done, possible promotions and opening for admin may be open.

Truly sorry for the inconvience. No. Seriously. Very sorry.
