Mod Post: Welcome to Summer!
Hi Gang!
All the schools have just let out, it's a holiday weekend, everyone's feeling a little bouncy, and so it's a good time for some seasonal reminders from yours truly.
1.) Please read the rules in the userinfo. Posts that break these rules outright are simply deleted. This especially includes any and all "what [brush / font / texture] is this?" posts and their cousins, the, "Where can I find this [brush / font / texture]?" posts. There are resources for such things, and they are listed in the userinfo and memories.
2.) Always check the FAQ and memories first. There are guidelines available that will explain how best you can use the memories. And please, I promise you all: the questions in the FAQ really are all frequently-asked, so try looking there for the answers!
2a.) If you come across dead or locked links in the memories, please let me know which ones they are. i can't fix problems I don't know exist. There are some that have had the pictures removed but that still give helpful information if you take the time to read it; those I let stay on purpose.
3.) Remember to remain respectful of all other members. This works both ways: if you are posting a question, you should be respectful of the time and efforts pur forth by the people who are reading your post and trying to help you. If you are posting an answer, you should be respectful of the questioner. We are well over 10,000 members strong and are barrelling towards 15,000. Spamming the community with badly-written questions answerable in the FAQ and belittling users who are simply still learning are both severe offenses in my book, if you know what I mean.
4.) Stay on-topic. There are other communities around for some of your complaints or more esoteric questions. Try
iconchat or iconrants for those.
Have fun, stay cool, enjoy making little 100x100 squares of delight out of all this summer's blockbusters. (Me, I have the world's biggest crush on a certain pirate captain...) If you have a problem with using the community or with something happening in it, please feel free to contact me. I get at least a dozen comments, e-mails, and IMs a week about this place and I'm happy to have them so long as it keeps everything running.
Cheers!
