Journal Entry: Wed May 16, 2012, 10:10 PM

May 16
Sorry for the belatedness of this news journal, it's been a busy time for all of us!
Personally, I (*meihua) was just awarded a Fulbright ETA scholarship, which means I will be going to Taiwan in August! More deets here. I don't know all the details of my situation yet, but I will probably be too busy to keep running some of the activities at #Birds-Club. Depending on how everything works out, we may or may not:

- put Themed Weeks on hold
- postpone future contests
- release Guess That Bird (GTB) less often

Just a heads up!

Some other mod news: We've got some name changes on our hands!
chik1117 = =mydigitalmind
Reixed = *DeeOtter
SageGoat = =SageKorppi

Our BOTM is the notorious Booby. Their (sometimes) blue feet drive people crazy! Go check out the journal!

Our May Themed Week (starting May 21) is going to be "Parrots of the World," chosen by our contest winner *youlittlemonkey!
In March, she won third place in our Emotions contest with this piece:


Congratulations to our member *PiTurianer for his DD!


Our affiliate, #AnimalsofTheWorld, is having a contest with a great theme - Colorful Birds! The submission deadline is June 15.

Would you accept this picture?-->[link] Don't want to feel like an outsider again. It's a Blue-Throated Macaw.

What do you mean by "again"? You've never submitted to the group; in fact, you're not even a member :confused:

Anyway, if you join and submit that, we would accept it :)

Mood: Pity ~jacksonfivecheal May 17, 2012  Student General Artist
Well, there was this club that I joined and they made me felt like an outsider considering they did not accept my art. Sad part is according the admins everyone voted no for my picture and that hurt me very deep in my heart.:iconbrokenheartplz: I can't stand groups like that. I quit and worst part is I got blocked because I kind of snapped.^^; I mean they were acting uptight like gentlemen and rich ladies who act as if they are too good to talk to those below them. So I told the truth of what they were acting like and left. I thought things would be different up here from reality, but that is false assumption. Ninja silence--> :spyed:

But I am happy to join your group and will try to be a good member. :greetings:

Welcome to our group! We do have standards for submission, but they're clearly written out so people don't have to guess at what would be accepted and what's not.

I strongly believe that different groups can have different purposes. If one group decides to be very selective (bordering on elitist), that's fine with me, since there are plenty of other groups out there who accept just about anything. Heck, I run groups on both ends of the spectrum. #DA-Bestiary accepts only the very best animal photography (we end up declining most submissions), whereas #Unicorn-Club will accept everything, as long as it has a unicorn in it (and as long as it's allowed on dA - so no sex and no copyright violations).

Don't let your experience with one group color your experience on dA! Just keep trying and find the group(s) that fits you the most :)
