"State of the Union Address" - ChangesHello Everyone,
First off, let me introduce myself. I am :devtimberclipse:, or Zev and founded this group over a year ago with :devayame-kenoshi: and many other wonderful deviants. Since then, we have grown to become a huge group with a great following. We are always looking for ways to expand and improve. This was temporarily hampered because of the Sta.sh and News Portal/Journal Portal improvements that deviantART was working on, but we have decided to push ahead now that they are near completion.
There will be a number of large changes for you all. We are going to outline them all out here, and if there are any complaints, concerns, etc.

Two whole years!Yep. I've been using this account for two years as of today.
Though, I've been using the site as a member for about three and a half years. :shh:
I thought I'd share some of my statistics with you. :la:

Please read below and visit her profile page to help the less fortunate stay warm. From =ToxicAlice92 profile page: "As one of my New Year's Resolutions, I want to finally be able to give back to my community or help with donation or charity. Over the entire year of 2012, I want to raise 160,000 points to buy 50 Vertical Zip Hoodies and donate them to the nearest homeless shelter. Please, tell your friends and others you know on dA. If you don't have points but want to donate through my PayPal link, let me know so I can transfer them to points and add them to the donation pool. I'm going to do what I can, too, but it would be wonderful if you could help out. If everyone donates 400 points, only $5, then only 400 people will have to donate. If everyone donates 100 points, then only 1600 people would have to donate. In a year's time on this community, that should be nothing. I know we can all do this." Thank you for reading, please visit =ToxicAlice92 and donate points, if you do not have access to points, no worries _____________________________________________________________________ Toys for Tots for Christmas 2012 `catluvr2 has a fantastic project for Toys for Tots, Christmas 2012 and wishes to purchase 20 stuffed collectibles from dA. `catluvr2 will purchase 5 Fella Plushies, 5 Super Llama Plushies & 5 Fella/Llama Plushie Bundles.

:iconcuterainbowplz: If you are thinking about changing your existing wish you MAY do this, but you can only make ONE wish change every 6 months.
So, it’s something to think about, when you apply to do it. :)
You would SEND a NOTE to the Group, listing your Old Wish, with WHY you are changing it, and telling what is the NEW Wish. :aww: :thanks:
