News and Rules :-)

We've been having some problems with the vote system lately. We have it set so that each picture needs 3 votes in order to get into the gallery, yet for some folders it only takes 1 vote, and some folders require 6 votes. I haven't figured out how to fix this yet (stupid DA) so if you have any ideas/suggestions please let me know

This means that sometimes it might take a long time for your submission to get approved. Don't worry about it though - as long as the submission fits the rules of the club I go through and resubmit them.

Check out this great forum - www.chaliceoffemmemetal.com/fo… - if you like female singers in metal. They have recently released a free compilation featuring a few awesome Symphonic Metal bands.

Aravis17 pointed out to me today that members could not submit to the Wallpapers folder. Well that sure explains a lot! I have changed the permissions now so it should work. If you have any problems submitting, please leave a message.

Regarding why Wallpapers and Stamps are separate folders:

"I think that it is good to separate them out as many wallpapers contain promotional band photos - normally we don't like to accept these into the main band folders unless they have been strongly edited and credit the source of the photos. However, I think it is fine for wallpapers to contain these as it is clear that the user did not take the pictures themselves.

The same goes for Stamps as well. Please check which folder you are submitting to."

Seeing as we aren't a Super Group yet () we can't put pictures on our page our in journals. However, I (*crystalfalls) have a subscription. So I've put together a features blog of some of my favourite pictures from this group. I tried to limit myself a bit (I tried to make the number I chose relative to the number of deviations in each folder) so not all pictures I liked made it in.

Why not take a look and see if your picture is featured?  Apologies to those who didn't get in, perhaps there will be another features blog!

The journal is here: crystalfalls.deviantart.com/jo…

Please make sure you submit to the right folder! Many people are just submitting to the After Forever folder rather than choosing the right category. This just makes a lot of work for the admins.
