_{I'll talk about the big elephant in the room, this group has been inactive for over a year now. It's my fault I know. But I didn't start the group so it would run itself. I started the group because I wanted to create a fun and exciting place, where people could submit their photos, talk and get advice from each other and become better photographers or find inspiration. I want be talking about why the group has been inactive, because that doesn't matter - it just has.

And I want to change that fact! I want to bring the joy back to this group. When i first create it, I sat with a big smile on my face each time I saw a beautiful photo come though. I miss that. DeviantArt and this group actually made my life happier. I don't knew if it was only me, how had or has the feeling?

But to make the group more active, I need your help! I can't do this all by myself, we need participants for contests, people who are active voters on submissions etc. I know, you're probably thinking 'Who's to say you're not going to be inactive again?'. I guess I can't promise you that, but what I can say is, I plan to make it a part of my life again to be online on DA, and check the group and if other people are active in the group, trying to help to make it better - then I have a good reason to come back even more

Together, I believe we can make this group better.

This entry sure does sound like some commercial...

To start make this group better, we need new co-founders and contributors! All the co-founders have become inactive over the years. The co-founder has to be someone who will help me make this group better, write blog entries now and then and such. We also need contributors, these help vote on submissions (as does the co-founders). The two different things, from these two and a regular member, is the fact that a co-founder and contributor can submit to the "featured" folder. Not just anybody can become one of these, you can to have a certain standard in your photography, well exposed and composition etc. This is were I decide. If you don't take any pictures, but just loves photography and horses, then you're also welcome to be a co-founder or contributor. You don't necessarily have to submit, just vote on other submissions.

Because many of the co-founders and contributors are inactive, I have sat the voting on submission down to two votes (from the four votes before). This way, it's more likely for submissions to get into the group.

I'm empty for words now, so that's all for now. If you think something is missing, or you have some idea, want to help - then post a comment or send us a note. Also, if you want to become a co-founder or contributor, write it in a comment or note in whichever you may like, but remember, be committed

Thanks for your time, have a great day}
