... Here's me not caring anymore: :ignore:

Some of you may or may not have noticed the extreme lack of activity by staff members on this club account.

Our beloved [And I say that in the most dry, and sarcastic tone imaginable] founder siriusasthma decided to ditch this place and shove it on towards me because he didn't have the time, nor energy to dedicate.

Fair enough, right?

I hardly think so :roll:

At the time, I was being made homeless - I lost my house, my family and a lot of the people around me, and on top of that I was beginning in a new and stressful job. I didn't have the time or energy to dedicate to this club - I was spending my time training for my new job, and in between I was looking for a roof to remain over my head, as well as having to deal with the emotional and mental bullshit that came with the latter. Yet, I somehow MADE the time because I was actually dedicated.

Lately I've been active on and off, and yes, that's my own fault for shitty time management, but things are still up in the air. My partner recently lost his job so we were financially screwed, and we're still suffering that now due to other unforseen circumstances.

I asked you guys for help - I submitted journals asking for new staff members, people who would be able to put in the time that I simply couldn't give. I inducted two new promising staff members whose applications really impressed me. I handed over the login details and to be honest, I didn't expect them to login everyday and keep this place running but once a damn week would have been good enough for me.

These new staff members didn't even do that. Turns out their attempts at impressing me was just mere asskissing, and for whatever reason it actually worked, or maybe I was just that DESPERATE to find people to help lift the weight off my shoulders.

So lets see, shall we? I was already on very limited time, but I put in MORE time and effort into finding people to help out, only to be let down each and every time - My attempts at trying to get these staff members to be active also went unnoticed. And to top that off, other staff members decided that THEY'RE leaving because THEY didn't have the time :|

So, long story short: No one seems to give a crap about this club anymore. The staff members have given up, the founder is a knobhead who pays no consideration to others, and I have WAY too much going on in my life to even comprehend finding more people to help out, or spending anymore time doing something which is thankless and tiresome. I don't want to be let down again, so I wont be calling people to help out. Sorry, I'm simply just not interested anymore. I thought I could run this place by myself but that's been dis-proven.

Basically, Photo-Hut will be no more. End of story.

Hi guys! xxbcxx here :wave:

We're keeping on top of things here at Photo-Hut :w00t: I've been making sure I login everyday to put through your submissions and answer any questions you have, and hopefully I can keep this going!

You may or may not have noticed that the "Send Note" link on peoples pages have gone missing :o The full details as to why this has happened is listed here

It seems as though there have been a handful of deviants who think it's awesomely super duper "kewl" to spam notes to other deviants :roll: And as a result of that, dA have removed the feature for the time being.

This is pretty much a pain in the ass for anyone who's running a club, or anyone who submits to one.

NEVER FEAR! You can still obviously submit to us via your message center. Just make sure you type our club name correctly in the recipients box, or find us in the drop down menu next to that :aww:

Easy peasy! Now get to submitting so I can have something to do on this dreary Sunday evening :D

Love,
xxbcxx on behalf of Photo-Hut

CRIKEY MOSES!

My oh my have we let ourselves go lately. It seemed as though we just about got things back up and running smoothly, and then everything disintegrated into chaos once again.

NO MORE!

We've been inactive for over 3 weeks and that's mostly down to us club admins having extremely busy lives.

I myself, have had one hell of a year - I wont go into details but my life is slowly settling down now. I've moved into my own place and I've only just got my internet connection up and running... Over a month without internet :faint: It was torture! :D

Seriously though, this club is a priority of mine and I'm responsible for keeping this place going smoothly and efficiently as possible. I've failed to do that due to my personal life - I really hope you can understand and appreciate this :heart:

I'm going to make it my personal mission to get through all 68 notes that are sitting in the messege center currently, and I will be updating the club submissions daily.

KEEP ME ON MY TOES PEOPLE! :D

In the meantime, if you find yourself with a few moments to spare then take a look through our club gallery and let us know which deviants we should move to our main gallery! There's so many awesome images in there that I cant personally decide :giggle:

Lets make this work people!

Hey guys!

Sorry for nothing new lately. We've all been busy (I was drowning in college homework... ickk). But I'm going though submissions and all that jazz as we speak. Hopefully VERY soon we will have new stuff for you guys (tutorials, interviews, and everthing else) up for you.

So stay tuned!

-oxkillthecatxo (Becca)

(Edit: So I've gone through most of the submissions and joining requests last night and this morning, and we're pretty much all caught up! Wooo!)

Ahoy me harties! :ahoy:

As you know, we've already got the lovely oxkillthecatxo as a new staff member, and I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you all for welcoming her so warmly :aww:

We've also got another new team member, who goes by the name of dustinbaines :clap: Please be sure to give him a good welcoming too! Dustin is also an admin member for another club, so he'll bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table, and Becca has some amazing ideas which we'll most definitely use!

Things are going to spice up a bit! :excited: We're looking into doing weekly/monthly journal features, artist spotlights, interviews, tutorials and possibly a few more contests - And thats just for starters!

:eyes: Sounds good huh? :eyes:

Oh yes... Things are going to change! So give our awesome new staff members a hand :clap:

In the meantime, if you would like to recommend any artists or deviations for a feature, then let us know!



Luff n stuff,
