Honestly Xepher, I would join your community anyday. I trust you to not think of money before the people's needs. I mean, heck, you give me and so many others free hosting just because you can. I still can't thank you enough for that.

As for how it is set up. I think an invite only to begin with is a great idea. I have a few artists from dA that I would hate to lost contact with and have great art. Aeyoqen is an awesome artist and has been thinking about hosting, especially lately because of what has happened to dA. I have pointed her in your direction and if you start up an art community, I think she would be one of the ones that would love to join. I can give you a pretty safe bet that Sary, my friend from dA that I brought over here, would join your community as well. I'm sure I could round up a few more if you wanted me to, but these are just the two I'm sure would greatly consider your offer.

However, having invite only might subtract a bit from the community. If it was open only to those who were invited, would this include comments? (This is assuming there is of course the comment feature.) What I mean by open for comments is asking would you have to be signed up to submit a comment. Elfwood doesn't require you to sign up to leave a comment, and in some ways this is a neat feature. It wouldn't overload the server with accounts for people just to comment and appreciate the art.

Another thing. When you say it is an art community, what types of art would be allowed? Are you going to allow photography, sculpture and literature in as well? I'm not saying this as if I think these aren't art forms, but some sites don't do submissions of this type.

As I come up with questions and ideas, I wil post them. At the moment I need to go find something to eat before my dentist appointment.

Being a loner doesn't mean you don't know right from wrong. Sometimes I disappear from dA for large periods of time while I'm doing other stuff, btu it always cheers me up to come back to a few messages in my inbox. ^^

Because I feel so sad at my little message count here...

Same name on the old forums.

Either way I am totally with Jark. If I have to move communities, so be it. I want a community not a corporation. Spyed is making too much money off of us as artists and that is just morally wrong.

I just don't want DA to fall in the hands of Spyed. I want Jark to win or dA to fail. Simple as that. :/

I know it is a crazy thought, but it can happen. I'm am asking everyone here who plays any sort of video game/game or even watches so much of one show that it affects their daily lives.

I play World of Warcraft like no tomorrow. I am not afrad to say it. I am addicted. I have gained so many great friends through this game. But right now that isn't the topic.

So one evening after playing WoW for many many hours, I sit down to find something on the television. I flip over to MTV on accident and a music video is just beginning. Too lazy to change the channel, I keep watching. What happens is that this guy is walking into a party. So pretty much my brain registers some guy walking into a people infested house. The back of my mind automatically think, "Jesus this guy is so stupid. He is going to aggro EVERYTHING. I hope he is high enough level or has some support to back him up, or he is so ganked."

I blinked a few times, realized what I just thought and turned off the television. I promptly went to bed, hoping that never happened again.

My friends have caught themself asking 'How much silver is it?" before.

My best friend was trying on clothes with her mom and the shirt was too small. She almost said, "What's the next level?" I was like, "I would so say, "What stats does it have?" to see if it was worth looking like a tard."

That's it. >.>

I love bash so much. I've got one for an away message I could put up here. I'll find some of my favorites and post them here.

3:pixelsoft> GHB? Don't you go to school?
3:GHB> Today is Saturday
3:pixelsoft> It's Friday
GHB left arena

That Mortal Kombat one is one of my favorites though. Nice choices there Xepher.

Alright, here are a few more for you guys.

Time's up! The answer was: Benjamin Franklin
way to spell, team!

Theorem: All numbers are equal.
Proof: Choose arbitrary a and b, and let t = a + b. Then
a + b = t
(a + b)(a - b) = t(a - b)
a^2 - b^2 = ta - tb
a^2 - ta = b^2 - tb
a^2 - ta + (t^2)/4 = b^2 - tb + (t^2)/4
(a - t/2)^2 = (b - t/2)^2
a - t/2 = b - t/2
a = b
So all numbers are the same, and math is pointless.

random girl: hey!

Real life should have a fucking search function, or something.
I need my socks.

my friend use to put his cat in a pillowcase and throw it down the stairs when we were little. the cat's name was Oscar. i use to to call him Oscar the grouch, because he was grouchy a lot of the time.
Maybe he was grouchy because you fucking threw it down the stairs in a pillowcase, genius.

( @Kaygo ) Arguing with the ops is like shaking your fist at God. There's nobody there; and if there is, he's not listening. And if he's listening, all you're doing is pissing him off.

DE: "The truth is out there"
sunny: yeah, thank god it's out there and not in here with us

I like these new forums. I myself am using the Cobalt skin. It makes me feel good to see the blue and not burn my eyes out with the bright bright white background.

As for the images in signatures... thank you Xepher. I don't much like them either. I mean, the small ones are okay but seeing the same thing over and over again is just frusterating.

As for dead users. I swear I am not dead! I have a fresh new start here and I plan to move into action!

(Added here because Xepher pointed me in the right direction. Thanks. :P)

If any of you are at deviantART and you haven't been following this, it is just crazy. I'll see what links I can scrape up for everyone here.

From what I understand, Scott Jaroff aka Jark, has been laid off of the deviantART staff. For those of you non DA'ers, Scott was a co-founder of DA. From comments he has made, it seems as if he had no choice in the matter. He clearly states they had cut off his dA email without his consent.

dA shows that they can and will delete commetns fi it suits their needs. They clearly state that they would never allow deletion of alteration of comments, but they have. Screenshots prove this:

Original: http://www.t52.org/deleted_but_archived_for_life.jpg
Afterwods: I can't find the screen for it, but it is now a 404 error.

http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/21139764/ Has been following the resignations from dA staff. I've counted over 8 and really don't want to get the real number. It is a sad thing indeed.

People all over dA are uniting together and saying, "This is bull." Many are on hiatus until August 7, dA's 5th birthday. The goal is to grind dA to a halt. Many deviants do not wish for deviantART to become more commercial than community. I honestly don't either.

dA has give so much to me no one would believe. When I started on deviantART in 2003 I believe, I sucked at art. deviantART gave me the motivation to learn how to draw correctly and try new things. If not for deviantART I might have never progressed. As soon as you know someone is actually seeing your art and can comment and help on it, then you know you've got to get to work. I wont say I am the best artist out there, because I surely am not, but I will state I have gotten better. After two years of being on dA, I have moved up from sketches in a sketchbook that follow no proportional las, to digital images, paintings and other traditional mediums.

the community of dA has offered so much to me as well. I have gained such everlasting friends as Sary, who I got to come here and apply. Aeyoqen from deviantART and I still correspond through MSN messenger and are deeply unnerved by all that is happening to dA.

If dA goes down the tubes I cannot say I will stay with them. I have my own site for a reason and can update it as much as dA if I lose dA. As of now, I am planning new features for the site because frankly, this is just getting annoying with everything that is happening on deviantART. The greatest loss will be the people, and I can't bring the people to my personal site.

I know this was a little crazy of a post. I expected it to be better but I am being rushed to clean the house. Unexpected guests. >.<
