All of your art will remain, but you will no longer be scouted. We are starting from scratch with a new foundation, and scout invites now require your confirmation.

This means you may get scout invites via PM from multiple people, and you can CHOOSE who you want to be your scout, rather than have no control over who scouts you.

We're keeping a back-up of the old tree but expect that within a week, the Art Portal will be close to normal and better than ever.

If you don't wish to be scouted, don't check the box to showcase your art in the Art Portal. It will remain solely on your page and the option to be scouted will not be available.

Nice, this looks really promising. Because I think that if you had no control over who scouts you, then you get unscouted highly unexpectedly, it just wasn't fair. But now, WE HAVETH A CHOICE!! WHEEEEEE!!!!!

Yo Tom...that sounds like an ART Portal Plan I can sink my teeth into. "What?...It's Halloween Month." No seriously, I think that will open the floor to many inspiring illustrators, doodlers, flash and still artists who have never gotten the chance to be scouted...and want everyone to see their works of art. So what if some of them came right off of their parent's refrigerator...everything by everyone. Damn, such the diplomat today. Peace.

9 lights from Emuzin...1 for each of the 9 muses. May they continue to inspire.

Nice idea. I feel confident all will go fine.

You know what would be very neat? If there was a graphical representation of the scouting tree. Not with names, just so you could see how it grew and how much like the branches of a tree it was. is.
That's such a geeky thing to want to see. But I do.

:: In related news, Edmund had an unexpected hospital visit this week and lacks insurance or a public option, so he has to pay out of pocket.


If you've enjoyed Edmund's games, please make a donation to help him out.

Fuck the American health system. Profiteering cunts at the top of the white house and on top of the government making fat sums of cash out of the poor people. Overcharging hugely... extortionate prices for what you can get for a 100th of the price in Cuba.

I support Edmund.. if I had the spare cash I will throw some his way... but at the moment I face my own little crisis. I may need to sell some 20 year old Cuban Cigars.

The art portal's entirely closed off, and so is the art section on people's pages if you try to view them.

Same. I can't even view my art on my profile. Probably just something temporary due to the update.

I think a new logo is required.

LOTS of people lose the scout right now (lots was my favorite and now I have only 4). Maybe the portal was hacked again?

Heheheheh! Apparently two of my drawings won awards, I'm giddy like a school girl.

Also, this system is kind of annoying, because then, people will scout others and hope the others accept them, and the scouts will all have different criteria for what kind of person is worthy of scouting them, and is there a two scout limit still?

BLAH

It's up to me now, turn on the bright lights.

I'm so in this :) Looks like quite a cruel theme this time around.

That's right, punk horror stories. Check it out. Also check out the winners from the last writing and music contests.

W00t, store credit. Now Tom, I desperately need to know that you're getting more Green Knight figurines in! I was waiting for the store credit and then BANG! Credit arrives, store updates and "Out of Stock" appeared :(

You know I am glad that the system is being redesigned however getting unscouted for the 6th time now is really ticking me off. To top it off I have a lot of work uploaded so now there is that unscouted limit thing getting in my way. Let me ask you this, how am I suppose to get scouted if no one can see my work because most people will not go through every single page of the unscouted galleries and that the system won't let me upload new stuff so that I am noticed?

Something is not created from nothing but simply transformed from what was before.
