Hey Strata, it won't let me log into the forums. Everytime I enter my username and password, it refreshes the page to the forum index and I'm still not logged in. I am trying to check my PMs but it won't let me.

Cookie problem. Working on it ASAP.

Sock, by EXTREME coincidence, you and me recommended the same picture to be featured on the same day. xD I recommended it on the forums.

FAC's internal code has a number of typoes with regards to words likes "references" and "deleted". Webmaster error, truth.

Did you copy-paste the correct URL? Can you show me the URL to a user with a deleted account?

For example, this picture was one recently nominated for Featuring. We staff haven't officially discussed or voted on it (and, in fact, we rarely do anyway), but while it's definitely a good piece in terms of general skill, I don't think it's all that feature-worthy to me. The reason? I don't like the chin. I know that with anime characters this is something that you can write off as a style issue, but I've seen no shortage of anime chins and even compared to them his chin still looks wrong. I know it's a relatively small flaw compared to the amount of work the artist put into the overall work, but at the same time, his face is a focal point and that makes the chin very obvious to me. I wouldn't be the staff member to feature that. At the same time, if another staff member did I probably wouldn't object (a.k.a. un-feature) it either.

Well, the "Popular Works" panel is chosen by # of faves and/or votes. In theory. Turns out there's a bug in the system that needs fixing before it works right.

The "Featured Pics" are chosen personally by staff members based largely on nominations which are posted in the forums. Generally speaking we look for artists who can produce higher quality work, both in their technical ability (coloring/shading) and their artistic ability (composition), something that doesn't have any very obvious flaws popping out at us within the first 10 seconds of looking at it.

Heh. Well, of course, I will try to keep as close to these guidlines as possible! Though I believe I have already labeled some of these incorrectly when I reported them, I will try to label them correctly and only report those which apply to that which you listed.

I hope I can be of some help in these areas.

=)

do u rp if not sorry for asking and bothering u

hi

Well, hello there! I'm rather new to this site, and I thought I might introduce myself to you, since you're a site official and all of that.

I suppose I'm the new tattle-tale around here, though I plan on submitting some of my own work sometime.

You're all doing a great job with the site, by the way!

You will probably be hearing from me quite often, since I'm so obsessed with exposing stolen/plagiarized art. I've already sent most of you multiple PMs about that.

Haha! I hope I'm helping you more than I'm annoying you!

Thanks for everything you do,
TLC

PS Your art is fantastic. How many years have you been studying art?

Ah, alright :)

Can you help this bug or what ever it is? When ever I am looking through my favorite pictures and I want to go on the second page, the third page, etc., it says "not available" or something like that, even though I have 11 pages of favorite pictures. I would appreciate it if you could help somehow! =3 Oh and btw, nice art. You're very skilled.
