100TC Chatroom, July 24th, from around 6pm - 9pm GMT

For American times I think it should be, PAC: 11am-2pm, MNT: 12pm-3pm, CEN: 1-4pm, EAST: 2-5pm.

For those not in these timezones you can check yours here: [link]

So whether you want to get to know others doing the challange, need some advice on your work or just want to stop by for a quick chat you're welcome to pop in. We may keep going a little longer if it goes well and people want to stay. </strike>

Well  I tried to make the group a little more interactive but since no one showed up at all we'll call this one a failure. I won't be trying to organise anymore of these.

So now we're an Awesome Group again lets get theses updates started! There are a few things we're looking for:

1. Title banner or unique journal skin - We need someone whose good with graphics to make us a banner for the top of the group page, or just an skin for the journal. Make us look all fancy =3 (If anyone wants to make fun "buttons" for the variations links to the right that would also be lovely).


2. New group avatar - do you think it's time for an updated one?.


3. Prizes for the next contest - So far we have 18 points up for grabs so any prizes anyone is willing to offer are welcome [points, sketches, features, even a llama ].


4. Gallery moderators - we get a ton of submissions every week so having admin for the specific folders will make it a whole lot more organised and efficient (mostly because they only have one variation to focus on).

Anyone whose interested simply send us a note saying why you'd be a good mod + any experience you've had with the group system etc. We need dedicated members for this, it runs a lot more smoothly when we don't need to keep replacing staff because the old ones have gotten bored and left.

And finally!

5. Suggestions on what you think 100TC needs/should have!

As for the new donations set up, it seems groups (super or not) do not have that widget available to them. When I contacted dA to ask about it they said, "Currently groups do not have the ability to receive points by themselves as they are technically not a member of the community." So for now we won't be collecting for the next upgrade. It's a year away anyway so there's no need to worry!

EDIT

Wow guys i'm really surprised by the sudden boost in support & donations, we're only 794 points away now! I think we'll keep saving for Super then set up a new poll for the next years subscription! If the super runs out before we have reach amount we need that time we can just use them for contests etc.
