When I saw the message yesterday the first thought that came to my mind was, "What about my purple scrolly that I worked hard for!"

But I'm glad VMKF is back up. I've been a member since March 2006 and I try to stay active and visit daily.

I'm glad about this new gallery rule because I stopped posting pictures since I had a hard time finding a hosting site.

THANK YOU!

Haha, lol. I could totally picture that in my brain.

I hope you guys enjoyed your break! It was obviously needed, and I hope the complainers learned a lesson.

I'm also glad to hear about the gallery! (btw, loving this new emotes )

How can one little member close down a whole forum?

But, yeah.
I said "if you're arguing about the rules and stuff, or saying the site is dying" so it's a collective thing, if you say that you're adding to the fire, not helping anything causing the staff to think about closing it more. So everyone who was complaining, not just about this forum "dying" was the cause.

Yesterday Batleth's message reminded me of April 7, 2008 and that we cannot take this site for granted. Thanks for not keeping it closed any longer than you did, I would've gone insane!

And thanks for the Gallery changes. Though I use FileAve, it will help many people who were former users of YouShare.

Thank you to anyone involved in the instilling of discipline on this site. Hopefully it has changed the thoughts of certain trouble makers.

Those emotes have some big ears. Mickey doesn't have big ears because he has a big head. LOL

Exactly! It happened once and we can't let another amazing site fall apart.

Thanks, mods/admins! I won't call you guys staff. You guys aren't. You guys volunteered to do this. Staff get paid to do things, you guys don't. At any time you could've said. "Oh. these people..I'm not gonna mod/admin anymore!" But you didn't.

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You.

I know your a evil rabbit, but that was funny. xD

The closing yesterday, like most of the people on VMKF, made me shocked, but I finally saw that we needed it, I don't think the rules are strict, why does everyone think that? I've seen stricter sites then here and the sister sites.
But it'll be easier to add my signatures to my gallery, now! ^^'

Wow! I can't begin how to say how great these new changes are! The "no pending photo request" will be a great change. I plan on using it all the time now Members, please don't upload inappropriate images on the gallery. We wouldn't like the nice staff to revoke it.

These changes may be the boost that causes all our recent "quitters" to return

Thanks Mods/Admins!

Thanks, for doing the closing thing. It really helped us all cool down. Now if they only did that on VMK....

And the image thing was a great idea! It'll really help people out, getting images out faster, and keeping it moded will keep us safe! Great improvments, guys!

Ooo. Pretty new smilies....
Anyways! Yea. I agree with most of the posts, VMKF Did
need a closure, and it also reminded me how much I loved
VMKF. VMKF Has been with me for like.. 2 years? Ive always
have gone on this site when I was bored, and its
taught me so much, and by looking at other users wonderful art has always
been inspiring me to draw more.
[ Which sometimes is a bad thing when I'm doodling when I'm supposed to be paying attention in class ]
But yeah, I think it was a good choice to close it for that time.

P.S- Ooo! Gallery update! Yay for the gallery! XD

When I tried to get on yesterday, and saw that, I thought it was going to be closed a week or so. I was so close to having a breakdown, rofl. It definetly woke me up.
