Hello, all. :)
UA has been a bit slow due to members being busy due to real life (regrettably, this is my case too -_-') and if
you're a new member, I guess you will find this something perhaps you've never heard about, if you're not
so new, then this shouldn't be much of a surprise.
Every year UA has an annual group discussion. This means that every member should have their input and have their say in how they feel this group should be run.
Here are the following topics at hand:
============================
- Administrators of the group: should inactive administrators be removed and replaced?
If replaced, via nominations and voting- or how?
- Member acceptance criteria: too high or too low?
What do you want to see to those you feel are too appreciated?
What is your definition of appreciated?
NEW!- Member mentoring scheme
Would you like to have a wallpaper mentor, so to speak? In other words, every time you post up something, your mentor
must comment- or, every time you are working on a new piece of artwork, you can ask your mentor to check over it before
you submit.
Continuation!- Sharing Techniques and Skills
Do you think this is better in tutorial format, or would you prefer typed instructions just in the guestbook?
Or should we archive them?
HOT- What competitions do you want to see in 2007?
Prizes? Challenges? Cross Group competitions? Continuation of the UA themes or should they just go due to slow
entries?
==============================
HAVE YOUR SAY!
IMPORTANT D:- ALL INACTIVE MEMBERS WILL BE REMOVED.
I mentioned this last year about removing all inactive members.
All members will have approximately 2 months to at least post here on this thread with their suggestions or opinions on the above topics at hand, or to post in the UA guestbook by visiting the group page.
I will of course not delete members who have at least contributed to UA in the past either through helpful posts or competition entries, but if you do not post in the next 2 months and I can't even remember who you are because you are rarely active in the group you will be aspired. Permanently. Until you are alive @_@
I hope that 2007 has been a good year for you all!
UA has been a pretty effective group since we've started up and I'm personally very happy with the vast
improvements many many of those in UA have had. Really, I hope that we can continue this in the future and just also be
a group of friends or a place to hang 'round and talk about Lampy :P

Dudes, make an entry for ZODIAC or COPYCAT
CHALLENGE.
If you find the copycat challenge too hard because there aren't enough wallpapers in the gallery to copy or mimick
styles from, feel free to suggest wallpapers you find inspiring in the guestbook! Please note that they must be made by
a UA member, though :P Or else the admins can't add it anyways :P
Also, we have a really really weird GROUP AVATAR in case if you haven't realised!
This was a little group avatar I quickly whacked up and it reflects NOTHING about UA lol. 'Cept maybe conceptually we are looking up hopefully... BUT ANYWAY.
MAKE A UA AVVIE D:
88x31 .gif file is required. Anything to do with tropies, lampy, cookies or lots and lots of stick people will do. Or
nothing to do with that is okay :P
Either way, if you have any spare time and feel like it, we'll be grateful m(._.)m
Thanks for reading this excessively long post! If there are any other issues you would like to raise in the discussion, please just fire away.
I hope you read posts from you~ hopefully all, if not, mass destruction/ removal will take way >_>
