Art Portal Reboot, Philippines

[TomFulp]

Today at 2pm we reset the Art Portal tree. We have implemented a new invite / accept system, where multiple people can now attempt to scout you, but ultimately you decide which offer to accept.

To speed up the "recovery", everyone can currently send four invites per day, instead of two.

Things got off to a rocky start - the first batch of invite data was lost (whooooops!) and people who were invited early will get an error message when they click those links. If you were invited you should expect to see a more recent PM with a working link.

If everyone makes use of their four daily scouts this week, the tree should grow back pretty quick!

In other news...

JackSmack is organizing a Chicago Game Developers Meetup!

AlmightyHans is looking for more faces to fill out his Faces of NG Collab.

Bryce Milburn has posted a new Shake the World trailer! Everyone can get involved in this!

Some very serious news...

Denzel-Crocker and pupart were evacuated from their homes due to the flood in the Philippines. Your fellow NGers have been making donations to help them!

Please make a donation to help Denzel and pupart, even $5 helps!

Hooray for the 4th un-scout today. I'm happy about the whole new scouting process since 2 of my un-scoutings were because of bad scouters.

I hope everything goes alright with them.

[Frenzy]

If I had the money to spare, I would donate.

[Krazu]

Oh man, I hope they're alright.
Are you gonna clean up the featured art too and start from scratch or will you leave it that way and keep on adding things?

[JakBaronKing]

OH NOES!

Must help DC asap!

[SNIPER]

What about people that got banned from the art portal?

I still have no idea why I got banned.

[nikdogers]

what happened to all the adult art its all the old not good junk

[ZagmenO]

Let's hope the new system is better than the old one!

Also, best wishes to Crocker and Pupart!

AlmightyHans is looking for more faces to fill out his Faces of NG Collab.

See, that's something I wonder about. I'm thinking doesn't that like hurt your eyes or somethin when your scanning?

It's guys like this that make me laugh.
It's like they don't even read the whole posts.

[14hourlunchbreak]

On a lighter note, when will I-Bot's user image be updated?

[speeling]

I expect you to be there for my birthday on November 13th Tom! Last year was a blast with you there!

[Hoeloe]

It's annoying that I've lost all of my 36 scouts... Thats 9 days after I get scouted with the new system.

Well, I have to wait for someone to scout me first...

Hint hint.

It's great that you can actually scout 4 users instead of 2.

It's actually not bad, I was thinking the same thing.

[likitty]

[SecretAssassin241]

At least none of my relatives got hurt....

[Afro-Ninja]

the light on my scanner wasn't really that bright. I squinted anyway. cmon, how many times have you accidentally looked into the sun. at least this time it'll be for entertainment purposes.

I know how you feel.

[sumidiotdude]

Do you still need four pieces of artwork to be scouted?
