I joined because I wanted to be great like the artists here. I also want to help the people who are beginners, because I know how it feels to be new to graphics. There's a lot to learn...
I joined because of the render avalabilty but suck around for some mebers, as with most sites its has its good points and bad, but for the most part its good.
To be honest, because Guild Inn wouldn't let me log in for some weird reason and I had browsed here a couple times while at GI, now I am a fully fledged member and loving it.
