I think it's worth stressing that the only thing he did wrong was deliberately misleading the forum as to the level of creativity involved in making his pictures. Photomanipulation is a perfectly valid form of art or illustration, but you should make it clear that is what you are doing. That way nobody gets discouraged comparing their drawing to a perfect image taken from a photo.
And I think it's important to note that we were never trying to MAKE it about photo vs. non-photo. Other people were trying to interject that issue. Once again, if anyone is unclear about that, go back and read the threads in question. It's not fair to paint us with that brush (no pun intended), when all we were doing was trying to do was get to the truth of the techniques used, and not to judge the techniqes.
That's it. I'm done.

So was that like the Fan Art Boards first family fight? 
I don't know how it's done in your house, but once the fight is over, it's time for huggs and pie!

My apology Ottis, I din't mean to imply that you did your work solely for the money. I know I would work for sand if I was asked like yourself to do art for LFL, as you said, "just to do something officially SW". Okay, now I'm moving up out of this thing like the Jeffersons!

I just want to bring something that I think needs to stop...
Individual request threads.
I don't know if they bother you as much as they bother me(redundancy-wise), but I think it's time that another course of action be taken. Currently, I have just been locking each of them and redirecting them to the Official Request thread. But it seems that recently, they have been coming in bigger waves, so instead of locking them, I think they should just be removed from the boards completely. This way, when you browse down the thread topics, you won't see all these request threads locked - you'll just see the topics you want to see.
As always, let me know what you think.

Clean forums are always nicer on the eyes. I see no problem with it.
Will you lock them and then let them sit for a while so that their author's have a chance to come back and read the reason for the lock before deletion?

Yes, I was plannning to do that. The last thing I want to do is create confusion by deleting the threads right away.

 Thanks for the answer. I suspected that's how you would handle them and I think it's a good idea.

Sounds like a good plan to me. It does seem like there's been more individual request threads popping up lately...

Now that we got the individual request threads squared away, it's time to bring up the Official Request thread located at the top of the forum page.
I know I mentioned in the thread that we would give it a month to see how it works and to be honest, I fell behind on that a few days and just noticed it tonight. So, my next question for you - how do you think the new request system is working? Is it working? What could be changed? Scrap it and bring back the old?
Let me know what you think!

I just wanted to give you all a heads up that over the course of the next few days I will be reorganizing the Thread Index. I will be updating it with new info and replacing outdated links.

Okay, hopefully I won't continue to be talking to myself, but another point has been brought up that I think needs to be addressed:
Animation/Flash/Gif images.
It has been brought to my attention that there is an interest in starting an official thread here highlighting this type of work. Now, the only problem I have with this is it seems more like it should belong in Fan Films than in Fan Art. However, I can see where animation can fit in since you ARE drawing millions of individual drawings. I just wanted to get a feel for what you all think and if a specific thread for this topic would be well receieved.

Well, speaking as a 2D (2D? Do people still do that? ) animator, animation is more about the motion than the individual drawings, so I would think it would be more fitting in the Fan Films category. Then again, the side of me that sits behind a drawing desk for countless hours actually rendering each drawing says otherwise.
Would it be a problem with board policy if animation/flash animation was represented on both forums? Animated GIFs (animated icons and the like), being much simpler, would seem to be perfectly all right in the Fan Art section.

That's why I was torn. I'm planning to go into animation(or at least try my hand at it), and the process of coming up with all those drawings screams traditional art to me. But the rest of the process fits more into the Fan Films section. I can talk to the Fan Films mods and see what they think if that would help.

Well to be honest, the only drawings you'll want to pick out to frame will probably be they key drawings - the rest will look horribly distorted but work within the context of the movement. And since -as you said - animation includes things such as scripting, foley recording, shooting each drawing under the camera, and ultimately is released in a format other than paper, I'd have to side with Fan Films.
That's not to say that the traditional art side of it is discounted (without the characters or backgrounds, all you're left with is an audio drama), it's just one element within the greater scope of the project.

Very good point. Then perhaps its best that this stay within Fan Films. Unless there is a very strong desire to have it here.
Like I said before, I have no problems with anyone posting concept art or whatnot. Just didn't see the actual animation fitting in here.
