As of today, March 2, 2015, I am STILL accepting new members and submissions! Again, PLEASE try to submit to the right folders -- if the artwork isn't submitted to the correct folders, then I will ignore the submission, mainly because I don't have the time to redirect them (sorry).
I would have posted this in a journal, but Contributors don't have that option, and the attempt to make me the new founder a few years back failed, mainly because deviantArt is kind of difficult with stuff like that.
But yes! Please continue to join and watch and submit -- this group can be good again!
