The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
I didn't really like the PA Game Wallpaper that Gabe posted, so i made my own variation.
I know this is nothing that someone with minor Photoshop skill could do, but i figured some people don't have photoshop, so whatever...
Seriously man, just a friendly word of advice... read the rules before you post something. I saw the trouble you had in the art forum, but here it's going to be much, much worse for you.

I'm sure people would yell at me me because it's not about the game itself, just a picture. I don't know. If this gets locked I would at least like to know where i can discuss minor efforts of PA related Photoshopping...
PS - I kinda missed that forum.... whatever.

The thing is, this place is for... discussing things, not posting work for critique (even if it's an essay!).
The game forum would probably be your best bet, just DON'T go in SE++

All I can think of is the G&T photoshop thread (if there's one going on right now), but those are themed events; not "here's my stuff, please critique it" events.
I'm not sure we have a good place for random photoshoppery.
SE is probably the best fit just because it's the off-topic forum, but they eat people alive there. You could start a general Photoshop thread in G&T (since PS is tech) and see if it takes off.
Out of curiosity, why didn't they appreciate this in the art forum? Because it's a shop of Gabe's work instead of your own?
Yeah... honestly you haven't even come close to getting yelled at yet. People here can be brutal when it comes to stuff like this. On the other hand, it just toughens you up and you try again.
Edit: The mods here expect more. If you really want some fun, go mess around in the H/A forum. Pheezer can be absolutely brutal there.

It's funny if it wasn't the first post I ever made just to say, "Hey, looky." I realize it's easy and not my original work, but jeeze.
I don't post over in the Artist's Corner, but if you plan to post in any forum, check out the announcements and stickies. Over in AC, one of those announcements is the rules. Violating #5 is probably what got you into trouble there.
5 ) Post Your Own Work
If your pal is an awesome artist, then encourage him/her to sign up and post the art him/herself. Don't post artwork on someone else's behalf and demand critique.
I know you did the shop yourself, but the art is, as you admitted, Gabe's - not your own.
EDIT: Also, they weren't being mean. This is the Internet. One of the requirements of playing on the Internet is thick skin. I'm sure they're sorry if they made you feel bad, but the reply in AC was meant to be funny, not hurtful.
Lol, I should've said I drew that entirely by hand.
Plus, if they don't like seeing that sort of photoshopery they should mention it specifically in the rules and saved me time.
OP: That response you got from DMAC was so "clean" compared to some things I've seen in there that is almost comes close to not being insulting, at least when you look at AC on the whole.

Now, violating the rules and lying about it probably would have evoked some mean-spirited replies. Nobody, especially artists, likes people that steal credit for other people's work.

Yeah, you should see them when someone posts about their new "interweb comic." Brutal.

Be run what way? We expect new posters to lurk for a while and read the rules. Reading comprehension is sort of a prerequisite to be on a message board.
And, to be fair, after your AC thread got locked you immediately started a new one that was unrelated to art in which you called people names and generally whined and carried on. We (much like most other message boards) are an established community. You adapt to us; we do not adapt to you.
I never made excuses for the second thread. I was being a whiney jerk, and? The rules about originality and photoshop/art are vague. Theres a thread up about some dufus's really bad photoshop Venom that is perfectly acceptable, it appears.
There's a rule in the AC rules thread that you didn't read that says "Don't start new threads with no art in them." And another that says pieces that took very little work (which you admit about your shop) belong in the doodles thread.
There's a rule in the general rules thread that says "Don't whine about locked threads by starting a new one. PM a mod."
It's nobody's fault but your own that you didn't read the rules before making threads.
They didn't squash you for fun. They locked a post that violated the forum rules that you neglected to read.
Those two things are very different.
First, i read the rules, but did not realize this would be a violation, my bad. In the "squash for fun" I was referring to peoples comments about how harsh mods are here not anything particular to me.

Harsh doesn't mean they squash noobs for fun. It means that we have rules and they enforce them. If you want to know why your thread was locked, PM a mod; don't start a new thread calling people jerks.

Actually, no. Post it in the subforum devoted to this game.
The RSPD forum is far and away the best place for this.
PS - I kinda missed that forum.... whatever.
The thing is, this place is for... discussing things, not posting work for critique (even if it's an essay!).

We certainly don't mind having you around if you're going to give us something to discuss. D&D just isn't the place for this post.
Check it out, it's pretty funny.
Believe me, they were being kind to you. Especially in the second thread.
Like I said, they were going easy on you.

EDIT: and i guess we're in G&T now?
And a ban, most likely.
Forum culture. Being mean keeps the retards away.
So true. This place is better than 99.9% of forums out there, and this is why.

But i feel better when i just have to contend with retards posting rather than forum dieties that squish people like ants just for fun.
Those two things are very different.
There's a rule in the general rules thread that says "Don't whine about locked threads by starting a new one. PM a mod."

AGAIN, i was being whiney and out of line in the second thread. I am sorry!
Harsh doesn't mean they squash noobs for fun. It means that we have rules and they enforce them. If you want to know why your thread was locked, PM a mod; don't start a new thread calling people jerks.
As long as i put it in the general forum the mods wouldn't care but it would be random to say the least.
