Question: The footer of the website used to show how many members [total] had joined the site.  Is there somewhere else I can see that number now?

I just liked seeing the number grow, lol.

Thanks for your help on that post.  I agree that locking it now is a good thing.

We passed 600 members!

I am dumb and have forgotten where to ask for a new positive review thread.  I looked through all kinds of forum sections but can't find the request post again...

And we've reached 500 members!

Wow, that's... a first for me.  This is very sad.

I had paid for a custom clay figurine on YCH.Commishes in January.  I was quoted a few months' wait time, which I found was perfectly reasonable.  I hadn't contacted the artist since because it's still within that ETA.

I woke up to this message on the YCH.Commishes thread:

Very sad. :C  Obviously leaving their name out of this.  But this is just such a... unique experience, I thought I'd post it on my profile here.

Eyy, we broke 400 members!

The ultimatum guide in the resources section of the site gave me the confidence to give an ultimatum to someone who I commissioned in August and still hadn't delivered despite offering me many promises over the months.

In January, I sent them a message laying out what I had ordered, what I expected [either a refund or the art done within a week], and what would happen if the expectations weren't met [a PayPal claim being filed].

They never read the message.  A week later, I sent another message informing them that a PayPal claim had been filed.  They didn't read that second message.  They never responded to the PayPal claim, either.

PayPal refunded me in full earlier this week.

It was my first time ever filing a PayPal claim and was a bit nervous.  But it all worked out.

The resources and advice here on AB are indispensable, I'm super grateful for them.

Well, that was an odd experience.  Not gonna bother posting a beware or caution, but I'll drop this here out of confusion and leave names out.

Someone on a site was offering free request art.  I linked an OC of mine.  They accused me of not owning the character and stealing it.

Why?  Because I, personally, did not draw the reference.  It's an adopt/design I bought years ago and I have dozens--if not nearing a hundred--pieces of art of this OC.  But they insist it's not my character solely because I did not draw the reference image.

WTH???

Huzzah, we've reached 300 registered members!

Is there a section on the forums [or should I maybe just use the contact form?] where I can post feedback about the new site's design?

New site looks spiffy!
