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.

And now we wait for all the stupid "WAAAH MY ART WUZ UNSCOUTED!!!11" thread-makers who won't read this...

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.

the art portal clean up sounds like a really great idea. i look forward to the changes, it sounds like it's going to be a lot more stable and consistent.

thanks a lot you cool dudes.

all right nice job Tom you just made my life 10x easier! no really you did.

YAY I HAVE THE POWER!!

^^

i r see if i can donaetz munny to mr. man! ^____^

I'll see if I can, I may be busy though.

I hope someone even scouts me after the portal reset though.

:: 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.

Intresting :) I hope it will turn out as an improvement for the art portal. I was worrid about the snowball system character of it ,hopefully it gets a bit more stable now.

This new system should work well.

New in the store: Exclusive autographed Super Meat Boy comic by Edmund McMillen!

I like all of these store updates, I hope there are more to come!

Meatboy made its way onto Kotaku

Too many -boys. Cuboy, Meatboy and .. erm .. I'm sure there were more. Make flash with girls, people, seriously.

Greatness!
Gish needs to become popular again...

Heil Castro and his amazing utopian changes he made to cuba to make it a better place.

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.

The Art Portal has awards now?

sweet so now that I actually took a few minutes every day to scout good people I lose fucking everything and my own scout from an admin super sweet deal

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

Yay Meat Boy!
I cannot wait for Super Meat Boy!

YAY!! MEATBOY!!!

Hooray, what a brilliant idea.

Bought 2 Meat Boy comics today! Get well soon.

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 :(

this is such a relief. i was freaking out about me getting unscouted out of nowhere *sigh*
well now that i know its happened cus of a new system i feel relief ^_^
p.s it would have been better if the artists got notified in a pm or something ........

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?
