We have had a few members and new member of The Endless Forest sending us notes and comments about the status of registration with The Endless Forest. As of right now, registration (aka "naming your deer") is completely offline and will be offline until it is fixed. The Endless Forest has run out of unique pictograms, so no new members can join until a second generation system of pictograms is created. You can still play as a nameless deer, but you can not register yourself. Last night I started a Pictogram Adoption Thread where unused pictograms can be given to new members. If you have unused pictograms or are in need of one, please see this thread.If you have any further questions about the game, please use the Support Forum. I can answer questions as best I can but using the support forum will give you exact answers. ----- The 2010 Calendar is here!The Endless Forest Calendars hold all user created artwork from players who love the game. I would like to thank everyone who volunteered their beautiful artwork for this project, and to anyone who purchases this calendar. Your purchase helps to fund this extraordinary and artistic game. All funds raised go directly to ToT which will then help to fund the future of The Endless Forest! For those of you who need an excuse to donate, this is it! Community involvement is really important in the progress of the game, so both I, and Michael and Auriea appreciate it.

Some of you may have noticed that the calendar stopped being available for purchase last month when I converted us to an official Group. Some of you may have not noticed at all, but I'm going to tell you about it anyways. At first when I converted the group, the calendar still worked. I was curious to know if the money it made was still getting to Tale of Tales, so I sent a message to the Help Center and I have still not gotten a reply from them. When I converted the club into a Group, it became linked with my deviantART account, and was no longer a separate account. That meant that I can't edit any of the stuff that was submitted before the conversion, including the calendars. My guess is that deviantART disabled the print off the calendars because they were not user-submitted, and that is where our drama begins! After talking back and forth with Auriea she asked me to submit it to my own account and display it in the Group. I will be forwarding all the money it makes directly to Tale of Tales and will gladly display receipts if anyone wishes to see that there money is getting to ToT. You can also send ToT an email if you need any clarification. In short, it was a big drama but it is up and working again! I hope this hasn't inconvenienced too many people, and I hope that you continue to buy and support.  ----- The 2010 Calendar is here!The Endless Forest Calendars hold all user created artwork from players who love the game.

This means no slideshows or multiple folders on the home page, journal CSS, polls, etc. The layout will change a little bit because our current layout is a Super Group one, but functions will be exactly the same.

Submissions As you may have noticed we have been having some submission issues. If you are ever unable to submit something please send me a message so I can fix it.
Right now, you should be able to submit (3) pictures by uploading/adding them to the gallery. You can only add artwork to the Featured folder, the other folders have been disabled. I will move them for you after you submit them. If this does not work let me know. The groups have been acting strange, sometimes when I open the club for submission it will close without me noticing/actually closing it (and you can't do it by accident). I'm as new to this set up as you are! Hopefully we can get all the kinks worked out together.
Thank you to *roselegend6, =ButterflyAssassin, and *YogurtPockets for signing up to be Helping Hooves. The three of them will now be helping me to keep our gallery organized and keeping things efficient.
And as a last comment, it has been decided that completely human versions of characters will not be allowed into the group, unless they exhibit features of The Endless Forest. This means that humanesque characters wearing The Endless Forest costumes (masks, antlers, pelts) may be allowed as well as anthros, but completely human versions with 'regular' human clothing will not be accepted into the group. If you are unsure, feel free to submit your piece and I will either accept or reject it. If you question anything that is submitted to this gallery, please send me a message and we can try to work things out.
If you have any further questions about our new group status, post a comment below.
PS: Is anyone interested in making an avatar for the group? The avatar must be 100x50 in size and represent The Endless Forest. I'd really appreciate it, and you will get a feature for the month of January!

We've been converted! Please read for how to become a member of the group again, how to submit your artwork, and the new rules.
#TheEndlessForest is now an official group, as you may have noticed! Our profile page has changed a little bit and we now have a hashtag '#' in front of our club name.
What does that mean for you?
You must add yourself as a member to the club! Right now you are all Watchers of the group and not official Members. Go to our profile [link] and click on 'Join Our Group'. A little window should pop up, where you select Member and 'Submit Request'.
Let me know if this works and what kind of window pops up! I changed it to automatically accept members. If you have trouble joining, please post a comment here so I can help fix it for you.
How do I submit artwork to the group?
Update: Because of the large amount of people that have not been following the rules (namely the 3 pictures per day limit), pictures will now have to be accepted by me into the group and will not automatically appear. Hopefully I will be able to let things run automatically, once everyone has decided to read the rules (that are in three different places now).
You can submit your own work and work of other people directly to the club! Visit the profile page and select 'Contribute Art'. You can also open the Gallery Page [link] and click on 'Submit to this Gallery'. When you add your artwork, add it to the Featured folder and it will be copied by staff into a folder that suits it best. Please do not submit pieces that are already in the gallery or are not TEF related. For further rules, please scroll down to the 'Submitting' part of this journal The new rules are also posted in the gallery.
