Aloha, Russell Cook How am I supposed to protect myself if people can mess with the site with my screen name and then I get blamed for it? For one thing it would be so dumb for me to hack your site, you have all my info and my home page also all my info from all the thing's I bought from your store. What I am having a problem with is when I come to the Forums I read all kinds of stuff about other people that have been banned and why they got banned. So say this person that is doing this to me does it again and maybe tries something worse how can I protect my name and reputation? I have worked so hard to have a good name on the web and to be even thought of as being a hacker just blows my mind. All I wanted was find others with the same love of art and to share my work with them. Last thing the pass word I had was something that no one could figure out I never use that word so how could they get it? Thank you for your time, Tammy

I'm very aware of the incident you are referring to. So, believe me when I say that any new incident that comes up with your name attached will be very closely looked over. You have my word on that.

Just peeking in, pay no heed ;-)

Thank you Russell. I was just upset and taken back by everything. But I hope you find this person. It's so sad that this kind of thing can happen when we just want to share our work.

Most people are here to bring our talents and inspirations and also to enjoy your talents and inspirations. That's what this site is all about, learning, teaching, mingling, creating, basking in the sunlight of the vast resources of this wonderfully enormous treasure full of wealth at our disposal. We are here to help each other, and to grow with one another. We will always have differences for that is the way of life, but we will also have more in common because we are pretty well all artists in our own right. You hang in there and you take care. And have a wonderful day goldenodyssey ;-)

Well spoken Rad....This community is so full of diversity and an amazing blend of people. We get mad together we laugh together we bond and create art together. It's really one huge city of like minded people with a few exceptions lol...and is so addicting that I can never imaging going anywhere eles. In fact alot of places on the web are probably noticing my absence since these days I only spend them here..lol.. The sensitivity level here is high because of our passion for what we do and that brings on alot of troubles sometimes but is sure fun to actually experience these feelings together... I have never seen anything like it...This community is a treasure like no other...I guess we just have to expect the unexpected take the bruises as they land and pick ourselves up with a little help from our friends and dust our selves off and go back to doing what we all love to do....create art and enjoy others viewing it....;) Good to have you back Tam.....!
