If you have a question, please see our #BBSing FAQ and if the answer isn't there, ask us. Members may submit art which is already in their galleries, simply by going to the #BBSing Gallery Folder and locating the option for doing so. From there, simply select the option which implies that you can use a pre-existing deviation. If you are having trouble finding the deviation you would like to use, copy and paste the full title of it into the search box of the submission interface. IF YOU FOUND US VIA A GOOGLE SEARCH: If you're in the BBS Scene, found us via a Google Search and are unfamiliar with deviantART -- then know that creating a dA account is easy and you can upload ansi screen shots of the BBS you run (or ran) and many other things. It is a great promotional tool for BBSing and just about anything else! GALLERY CONTRIBUTORS: |
