Wow, things have changed round here. I've been lurking in the dA background for ages now, not taking an active role but just occasionally browsing some of the amazing talent there is on this site.

I came on here yesterday to have a look at whats what and to my immense surprise found that I've been subject of a great honour. Thank you to everyone who's commented and generally given me lots of attention recently, and thank you also to learn-to-spel and oilsoaked for doing this.

I've been thinking for a while that I miss dA, so this seems like a good opportunity to try and take a more active role again. I have literally thousands of messages that have built up so I'm going to take the perhaps quite insulting move of deleting them all and starting afresh, sorry to everyone who I watch and thanks again to everyone who's commented on any of my stuff, but I simply can't look at the all.

Now hopefully I can get back to seeing what everyone's producing and making (hopefully) useful comments. And doing some drawingof course!

Things certainly seem to have changed - there are millions of different options and stuff that I would have thought would only appear for paying users - i'm not complaining! This new gallery subdivision thing seems like a good idea. It's going to take a while for me to get used to all this. I feel old!
