It's been announced that there will be some major gallery shifts as well as gallery director arrangement shifts by $FallenRox and $Moonbeam13. These shifts are because of the alarming rate of miscats that are being uploaded to dA. Many deviants and gallery directors seem adamant against this decision to mix galleries and to ask some gallery directors to step down. Among the gallery directors asked to step down is ^Helewidis. ^Helewidis and ^arachnid15 are both wonderful gallery directors for the Artistic Nude photography gallery.

^Helewidis has been a strong force in AN. She's worked hard within the AN community to make talented AN photographers known, help less experienced photographers, and make the community grow into the warm environment it is. She is promoting Male Artistic Nudes through her new competition: The Forbidden Gaze CONTEST -> male nudes, written countless news articles on promotion of AN within dA, and spent hours upon hours asking the community for their input on AN features.

She also contributes to other artists by running ~Helewidis-stocks. She has continued to supply the community with AR news as well as educate us on AN and AR. To condense the amount of time and effort, the countless journals and news articles, and the attention to unknown deviants that ^Helewidis shows fails to give you even a taste of her impact on our community.



^Helewidis and ^arachnid15 have spent a lot of time shaping the AN community. Together they have made AN a wonderful community. It was ^Helewidis's support that first got me (a photomanipulator!) interested in AN, since then I have found a love for the gallery and community. It is a mistake to ask her to step down. I'm writing this to ask ^Helewidis's supporters to please write $FallenRox and $Moonbeam13 asking them to reconsider their decision. Show them that it is a mistake to loose so a prominent and active member of this community who has dedicated so much of her time into making dA a better place.

_{Note Please DO NOT flame staff on this [!!!!] or any other recent decisions, it is not their fault that so many deviants upload miscats. They are just trying to find a solution on making dA BETTER!}
