Okay, I have some disappointing news. I've decided it's time to bring this account to a close. I'm very sorry, but I honestly can't keep up with this site. I don't have the time for it or the patience. The problem isn't that most of you are kind, because most of you are patient with me and polite, but others are getting on my last nerve. I have gotten some notes from the administration about complaints from certain members. These members are no longer in the club, but every time one leaves another one pops up. I think if this wasn't my first club, I could be of more help.

So this is what I'm going to do. I'm offering some members that if they want to take over this club, they will post after this AND send me a private note. When Wednesday, May 6, 2009 comes rolling around, the posting will be closed as I start looking at candidates (if there are any) to take over the club. By Thursday, May 14th, 2009, I will be canceling this club IF AND ONLY IF there are no candidates to take over the club. I will decide on that day whether to delete the account or never login again.

There have received a lot of upset messages. When joining a club usually a person allows the manager of the site (in this case, me of Howrse-Fans-Club) to put up their artwork with links to the original artist and art piece. Right now, I'd like all the current members to email me who doesn't want to have their artwork added into the gallery.

I know certain people have already told me "no" I'd like all answers posted here for reference.... HOWEVER, you don't need to have your artwork posted to be in the club. I just need to know, so I'm not copyrighting anything.

And please reply on THIS JOURNAL, not the notes I will be sending everyone. Lastly, if you do say "yes" please tell me if that also goes for gift art?

Thank you so much for your cooperation.

Hey, so you know, there are 25 members of Howrse-Fans-Club with hundreds of art pieces to go because this is still a new club. I wonder if there are any people who'd like to help out with this.... If there is anyone who wants to submit their own deviation into the club gallery I can give you a temporary password until everyone's artwork is up. Any interested?

Yeah, I know I've been gone for a month, and I'm sorry to you members. I had a family crisis and we had to go to Oslo. So I haven't had an internet connection for over a month (I truly have no clue how long it's been). Today I finally hooked up to an internet provider at my aunt's house. I don't know how long I'll be staying here, but for as long as I can, I'll work my hardest to update this place!
