hahaha, 😆 that is also debatable, should you consider launching your own site, or find a site to sell on, that is something to consider, like purplecat did, she launched her own site, and I am on a deal with another site that sells from multible artists with my jewlery, they’re currently out of my stock (not others) but that is really something that should be done,

if we think about this matter, this thread is an “ART DISCUSSION” so really there shouldn’t be any selling at all over here,

there is another thread on here called “MARKET PLACE” and it’s meant for selling only windstones,

so if we think about this, the lines we have to dance around are here, but they are fuzzy and some of us don’t know when we are on each side of it 😀

but here is a question, can we advertise where we are selling at all?? or discuss if prizes are fair or not?? if the purpose is made clear,

here we can at least ask for some advise of improvement and help if needed, (and of course, show off)

Good questions I’ll ask the higher ups. I think there was supposed to be a rules post but it found its way to the island from lost and is currently somewhere in the 1970’s floating around the pacific. We need to have a new rule area thing.

I agree in a way, BUT I think that the POWER they have is, that they are making an impact on us regulars on this thread every day, bringing people that wouldn’t get to know each other under normal circumstances together, in a way Windstones are like a religion,

Whoah! We’ve been joking about starting a cult for a while…didn’t know how close we were. I don’t think it has to do with success as much as having a product line, becoming your own business and then using our forum as a marketplace. We’re not cursing every artist out there to fail. We actually want people to succeed. My aunt loves art, everyone’s art and if you are talented and can put beautiful things into the world we want you to. But if you are manufacturing and selling figurines and art, it’s time for you to make your own site and do your own marketing. It’s what comes with being a business.

Windstone isn’t a company any artist wants to have on their bad side. They have made it perfectly clear they rule the roost for fantasy figurines and further more paint styles/tecniques/terminology/ and other areas of what I have no idea existed in copyright law. It has almost damaged my faith in the company seeing all these upset and struggling artist getting pulled down like this. It’s just kind of sad… We’re all a big reason Windstone has boomed like it has and it’s a rotten way to show appreciation. If the artists can’t sell their art, they can’t buy Windstones. I know it shouldn’t bother me, and they are just trying to protect their rights, but honestly, I don’t EVER see Windstone being a company that has anything to fear as far some other artist putting them out of business.

Well I’m not answering officially or anything as I do not have that power. But here’s the way I see it. Individual artists making private sales to other forum members is fine and should be encouraged. So should display of art made by users for critiquing or just showing off. Where the problem comes in is when people start using the forum for commercial purposes such as advertising and selling their own product line. It would be like if I went into Wal-Mart and started up a Target in their bathroom or anywhere else in their store without permission. I would get thrown out and probably arrested. The forum is owned and operated by a company the same as the bathroom is by wal-mart so the same rules should apply in my opinion.

As to strictness with artists, something I admittedly know little about. I do know that there are unscrupulous individuals who have created shoddy reproductions of our work in the past. Besides the concern of them stealing our sales, they were damaging our reputation for high quality. People saw the fake Windstone items and thought Windstone makes cheap resin figures mass produced in China. Confusion can be very dangerous to collectibles.

Again these are just my opinions, I’m not in charge of anything on here.

Well we drank champagne and danced all night
Under electric candlelight
She picked me up and sat me on her knee
And said dear boy wont you come home with me

Ok Ok I got one.

As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain”

This shouldn’t be too hard 😀

That’s not weird. My husband got an umbrella one year, a coffee mug one year, etc… it’s their way of doing some subtle advertising and giving their employees an inexpensive ‘gift’ as well.

… while the bigwigs in the company got huge bonuses. 😉 It’s sad but the way things work oftentimes.

I’ve never gotten a Christmas gift from an employer.
EXACTLY!
The employees that actually do the work and keep the company going get nothing but the big wigs get the million dollar bonuses then say they can’t afford to give raises the next year

That’s where the tradition of spitting in coffee comes from.

To save me money, maybe you can reenact it and then post a transcript of your reenactment 😛 Or better yet, video yourself reenacting it…

Well I only reenact tv shows in the shower….

Hmm… with this new information, I’m going to have to rethink my request…..

Do you where one of those puffy shower caps? That might make it all worth it.

It’s worth it even without the shower cap…Im a very good actor. People often flush the toilet to complement my singing.

Glad your sister’s back. I would get her into the hospital if I were you. They would have to take her against her will but it’s better than her hurting herself.

I’m not sure how tracking on usps orders work but I’ll have my mom look into it tomorrow.
