I am considering posting a new addition to my ongoing series Terran Civil War. This new project will deal with the Terran Civilization as a whole, from the ground up. From when it started to the everyday lives of the average Terran. It will be more informational than story driven. Historical characters will be mentioned but not deeply examined. This piece will describe Terran society and the surprisingly diverse world of the Terran people. This piece will cover even more than what I have posted here. The Terran Civil War storyline shall continue as well. Let me know if there is an interest in learning about the 'Terran man and woman on the street'.

WELL, I've been reinstated after a wild few days that was started by an IMPOSTER who joined the group under a false name. The Founder and I had battled this person before when she hacked the group and demoted me. She deleted three galleries and claimed that she was the group's original founder. I told the actual Founder and he purged her from the group back then and we thought that was the end of the story. Unfortunately, back in May the imposter returned, disguised as someone else, using a new screen name and profile. Ironically it was me who let her in as I usually did when people ask to join the group. Our group is very welcoming, all we ask is for members to be kind to each other and submit your best art. Everyone complied with those rules and all appeared well. But little did we know, we were nursing a viper in our busoms.. She remained quiet for months then struck over the weekend. She approached the Founder, offering to help with the group if he would make her a co-founder.

I've been BANNED from a group where I've been a Co-Founder for more than seven years. In all of that time I had never taken a day off from administering that group. I made sure that the group was functioning properly, art was being accepted and placed into proper folders, member questions were being answered, new members were recruited and accepted, as well as a number of other mundane daily tasks. I tried to create a friendly, warm, and welcoming atmosphere while at the same time working hard at keeping the group's standards as high as the Founder wanted and expected. The Founder would be away from the group for months at a time, all the while, I kept the group going and increased its membership. I kept in touch with the Founder often and even alerted him once when the group had been breached by a 'hacker' who changed everything around. ( I currently believe that this person is the new Co-Founder, just using another screen name. This person thinks STAR TREK isn't Science Fiction!

ART THIEVES AND THIEVERY.. I have been a member of Deviantart for a long time. I have been a victim of art thievery a few times but none has been so bold as to post artwork that I have commissioned and own the intellectual properties of, on their Deviantart gallery as their own! Deviantart notified me about this and I contacted the thief, telling him to remove my artwork immediately. I also contacted the artist that I hired and asked him to do the same. Deviantart has been notified and a complaint lodged so we'll see what happens. This piece was one of the few that I didn't attach a watermark, thus making it easier for the thief to steal. I originally had one on it but fans kept asking me to remove it so I stupidly did. My piece ( seen below ) is very popular and the watermark takes away from the beauty of it. My friend, Jetfreak -7, did an awesome job on this six (6) years ago and it angers me that it was stolen and enrages me that the thief has the unmitigated gall to post it on
