First of all, happy new year everyone! Lets hope for a better 2021! Second, I just wanted to say that I (and I'm sure the other admin staff) am sorry for the months of silence. A lot of pieces had expired while waiting for someone to accept them and a lot of people had outright left the group because of this and I can't blame them. I am only speaking for myself here but I wanted to offer an explanation for this (not an excuse but I can get people thinking it's that way, hah.)
For the longest time, I didn't have internet at my new place. Up until September/Early October, I only had internet once a week if I was lucky. The change to Eclipse and having to relearn the site once I got internet access also frustrated me. However, I sucked it up and decided to try to become active in the group once more (on this account and my new one). I cannot speak for the other mods but I'm sure it was also important and 2020 was just crazy and kept them away from the group as well.
In other news, I'm thinking we're in need of some new folders since it's been a while. Here are some I'm probably going to add:
- Persona (Any of the games but I've noticed a lot of P4 and P5 lately)
- Nintendo (Stuff related to Mario games mostly?)
- Osomatsu-san
- Jojo's Bizarre Adventure
- Dragon Age
- YuGiOh Arc V, VRAINS (not sure about Sevens since I haven't seen content for it yet!)
- Mortal Kombat
- and more obviously but just listing some examples
If you want new folders to be added the following requirements must be made:
- You must have at least five pieces made for that fandom. New or old is fine, I just need proof that you are actually going to use it.
- At least two other people have to second that suggestion. This is partially to avoid one person monopolizing a fandom and mostly just because I wanna make sure it's actually going to be used :'). OR...
- A new folder can be made later if two more people start posting for that fandom.
- Anyway comment your suggestions on this page.
Would you want more generalized folders? For example, a folder just for Western Animation (if it doesn't have a folder already) or "Fighting Games" or just keep it in "Other Fandoms"? (And if enough people vote 'yes pls', we'll have to go through older folders and see what companies/genre/medium justifies its own folder)
I'm also going to (slowly) be going through the group's gallery to remove rule breaking submissions (though I'm leaving submissions pre-2018 alone when it comes to credits and such). While I'm doing that, I'm gonna be moving submissions to the correct folders.
