Adam, I respect your work and your opinion, you seem to have a good head on your shoulders. I hope I didnt come off in my post as whining, however I have a big problem with this decision and Ill tell you why. It seems everytime I turn around something else is being taken away from the members here lately. I used to frequent a few of the forums, I liked C&D because it seemed to be a free area where members could let it all hang out. I never got into any flame wars or anything, but thought it was a cool place to spend some time, now its gone. I started going to OT and found it to be pretty cool too for about a minute lol. I posted a topic with what I thought to be a simple question, Why a decision was made to suspend a member. I worded in plesantly and without malice, I just wanted to know why. The thread was moved then locked. Well that pretty much ended the forums for me, IB is leaving the tavern whats left? If I cant ask questions and speak my mind in a civil way then they arent for me.I figured no prob, Ill just stick with the gallerys right? Vote for AOM as always, nominate who I think is deserving( not that I think Im always right lol), it was a fun thing to do and feel as if I was in a small way contributing to the community. Now thats gone. So really all I can get from here now are the gallerys themselves. Which isnt at all bad 8-). But it really sucks that one more thing has been taken away from the membership of this site and been put in the hands of powers unknown.You know I found some very good artists checking out the gallerys of the artists up for nomination for AOM, now the most I can discover are the ones up for it.Peace
