 Good News.....Bad News.......
 ....with growth comes change

rhondastark It's official that costs are rising for the forum to run it and now to enhance it with many upcoming goodies we have planned for it. One is a store we are going to open for you all to sell your work to the public and to also take advantage of special prices on group buys we put together, another is to try to let you all post directly into the Gallery as you are requesting.....and special guests and chat room times to meet with your friends. Plus many other exciting enhancements to the forum.

I am trying to keep our forum free from tons of nasty inside advertising. Eventually we may have one single rotating banner ad, but not a circus of ads. I would rather have a circus of paintings that rotate!

The new fee starting October 1st is $49/year or $75/2 years. Until then, current members can add on two years to their subscriptions for the special $40 fee. If you would like to extend your membership just respond to this newsletter by hitting reply and tell me and you will get a paypal invoice shortly.
