^Ghouldaddy:iconGhouldaddy: reports, July 15
Tempest Storm, on of the premier pin up models and burlesque dancers of the 1940's, 50's and 60's is still going strong at 80 years of age. The star of such films as Russ Meyer's French Peep Show (1950), Paris After Midnight (1951), Striptease Girl (1952), Irving Klaw's Teaserama, (1955) (which also featured Bettie Page!!!) is still performing burlesque striptease in Las Vegas proving that despite your age, a classy broad is still a classy broad!

Let's make a prediction daily deviation choices...

~Pedigri:iconPedigri: reports, August 26
Is there a way to predict what kinds of daily deviations will be chosen mostly on a particular time of the year? The recent "typographic art" boom where nearly every day brought a daily deviation in the category "typograhic art" made it clear to me that there is something behind it and it was obvious what it is exactly...

Do you want to know what determinates one's sense of aethetics, so you can predict what artworks will have the greatest chance to be chosen as Daily Deviations and what daily deviations suggestions are going to be most likely successful? Then read on.

The Forum Newsletter No. 7

`conorschild:iconconorschild: reports, May 24, 2007
:pointr:To begin with

Welcome to the 7th edition of the Forum Newsletter.

This issue, we have a special feature on art based around the forums. I researched it carefully and totally didn't just put "forum" in the search.

:paranoid:



:pointr:The Forum News

:bulletred: The Summer Invasion!

It's the time of year that forum whores dread - where n00bs by the truckload enter the forums, leaving Deviants piled underneath a sewage of forum topics and bad spelling. At the moment it looks like it's just begun. Hopefully, it won't be as bad as last year where it seemed to drag on right until Christmas :faint:

#Forum issued it's usual call to arms thread ([link]) asking the forum regulars to band against the n00b threat.


:bulletblue:

Unfortunately, this seems to have been coupled with a lack of activity. Recently, especially in Complaints, the forums seemed to have died. Or at least be choking on their tar-filled lungs.

Again, hopefully this will be a temporary thing :aww:


:bulletgreen: Ohnoes!

And this month, another new emoticon was added - :noes: ( :noes: )

It's kinda a little backward, with :ohnoes: being added first, but a welcome edition to the forums :)



:pointr: Art feature

I thought that this month we'd just take a look at some art based upon and inspired by the forums.



What? That last one? Uhh, just something I found...:innocent:



:pointr:Forum Lessons!

:iconprimouse: Lesson 2: Get your thread noticed!

Your thread will never be popular unless you get it noticed. Here's some pointers to get it noticed.


  • Make a good title. Capitalise it, and make it interesting to pull the audience in. Keep it short and sharp.

  • Choose a thread icon other than the alien. You'd be surprised at the difference it makes.

  • Okay, so now they're in your thread - keep it short. If you're a forum regular you might get away with longer ones, but generally people won't read a topic that's too long.

  • Remember last issue's lesson. Use good grammar, spelling and formatting. You want to make your thread as easy to read as possible.

  • Try not to use any "dead horse" topics. These are the topics which have been posted over and over again in the forums. You might not know what topics these are; generally lurking for a while is the best way to find out. Too impatient? Well, just think: if you've seen it on other forums more than once, it's probably a dead horse

  • Remember that the dA forums are not the BBCode style ones. They allow posters to reply to any post. This means that typical forums games, for example "three word story" games won't usually work as well.

  • And most importantly: make sure you're posting the right topic in the right forum. Scroll through the forum list first :)




:pointr:The Forum Best :winner:

Threads :winner:

:bulletred: Deviant Battle Royale! by *martypunker - Who would win in a fight between dA's finest!

:bulletblue: Cool quotes by ~DaKitty - No thread hijacking going on here :paranoid:

:bulletred: Before I ______, I always make sure that I ______. by =Punk-rock-chick - Some funny sentences being made :giggle:

:bulletblue: whats the most daring thing that you've ever done? by ~Love-is-blind - You'll be amazed at how daring some deviants are :omfg:

:bulletred: Are you hearing this? by `StJoan - Deviants get all confessional.

:bulletblue: Dear _________, by *takeko-oshi - And again! It's like Oprah owned deviantART.


Comments :winner:

:bulletgreen: "Carefully insert the dick into the computer."

Yeah, I can see that being a problem. :lol:


[link] by ~bananagram in [link]

:bulletpurple: I walked into Soviet Russia only to realize that Soviet Russia had walked into me. It was the most painful experience of my life. True story.

[link] by =plasticgiantcatbear in [link]

:bulletgreen: It's like saying skirts are the same thing as dresses.

When it's laying in a pile on your floor and her legs are in the air, who cares? =P

[link] by *AJGlass in [link]

:bulletpurple: :icondeadhorseplz::iconexitplz:
(Horsey having a bad period.)


[link] by ~Metafiction [link]

:bulletgreen: I think those are vikings. I seriously want the viking funeral they send you off to sea - nothing would be greater than my still-smoldering corpse washing ashore a beach where children are making sand castles.

[link] by *AvSkyggene in [link]

:bulletpurple:The search motherfucker, do you use it?.

[link] by `summaro in [link]

:bulletgreen:Aren't I your favorite? Your mother and I...we used to share dresses and exchange genitalia.

[link] by =Prince-des-Sots in [link]

With thanks to *DarkApple and =timmy64 for suggesting threads and comments :heart:



:pointr: And finally...

Hey, with the over charge of n00bs now, could I just remind everyone something? A little fun poking is fine, but all out flaming is just retarded. Kthx? :aww:


Next time in the Forum Newsletter: =FemaleWarrior discovers the cause of her AIDs :(
