Bearded Women & O'Brien contests extended
By NewsMaster @ 4/19/2013 3:10:26 PM
Due to hours of downtime the site suffered on Friday (hosting company network failure) we are extending the voting for Bearded Women contest by 12 hours, as well as extending the submission for O'Brien contest by 12 hours.
At least we are back for now. The repeated hosting company failure to provided the guaranteed uptime this month was too much, so we'll be moving to another hosting company in the next two weeks.

DeviantArt & CGSociety
By NewsMaster @ 3/7/2013 12:32:00 PM
This is a reminder to all members that sources from DeviantArt and CGSociety have been forbidden for years. The reason is that it's a copyrighted work of other photoshop artists, and we had too many copyright disputes with them, and had to remove even the winning chops, stripping members of trophies and causing lots of upset to our members (who really should not have used these sources in the first place though).
The only exception to use the sources from these sites is if they are either explicitly tagged as "stock images", or if you have a direct permission from the author of the source you are using. In those two cases (in the creator's comments) you should state a credit to the author, and say whether you are using a "stock image" or have received a permission to use the image.
Though some of these sources have slipped though in the past, all future chops from CGSociety and DeviantArt will be removed (unless edited using alternative sources). We don't always have time to trace all sources till the voting starts so don't be upset if your chop is removed when there's no time to edit or resubmit. We have close to 50 submissions in some contests, and it's much faster/easier for you to check where your source is coming from (using either tineye.com or Google reverse image search) than for us doing it for all the chops (especially when the sources have already been blended into the chop).
So, to sum up, check where your source is coming from, even if you found it on the sites other than DeviantArt of SGsociety, because it could originate from there. Better yet, try using only photos unless a contest is dealing with movie posters or old paintings.
