I know, I know, you're saying "but new things scare us" but trust me, it will be okay. I figure it was time to cast off the elitist bonds that were holding us back...approved membership will be a thing of the past...a bright new future awaits!!

The idea of this group is always going to be giving a place to go to people who need someone to talk to, however, this time, we're going to do this the way it should be done. We're going to list everyone and i mean EVERYONE who has come forward and has said "i'd be willing to help". Our dream is that one day, all of DA's members will be listed here.

Furthermore, we ask that you do this: if you are capable and willing to help others with their problems via AIM, Yahoo Messenger, MSN Messenger, DevNote, etc. simply add a link to this group in your sig, journal, whatever. If you link us in your sig, journal, etc PLEASE let us know so that we can include you in the list. Also, please note that you do not have to do this, we will still list you here otherwise, but what we want to see happen is that it becomes recognized that when you see someone with our link in their sig or journal, you'll know immeadiately that that person is available to help. If you get busy and can't help people, take the link out and put it back in when you get free time in your life again, it's that simple.

DISCLAIMER: Since this is now a list and not an actual group, we can no longer give any guarantee about the quality of the advice you'll receive. We're not responsible. By contacting someone on the list, you're telling us that you understand this. So on to the list...

and an extra special thanks to +sapphiretiger for mentioning us in his The Best is Yet to Come rant under the Guidance for New Deviants section.

Unfortunately, this list is nowhere NEAR the full list of people who told us they would like to help people. All the old notes are gone and so are old page comments. Therefore, if you want to help, let me know and you'll be put on the list.

We'll also be actively seeking out affiliates with a few groups as well as accepting affiliations from interested groups. Be warned that we will be very selective in what groups we affiliate with. In other words, unless your group promotes the artwork and creativity on DA or supports and promotes the community, we probably won't affiliate. Sorry, but that's just how it goes. Anyway, take care and thanks for all the support.
