UPDATE 01/12/08

This just in: D'Spot now has a chatbox! This means our forum has a LIVE CHAT component which will be utilized for real time RP's, real time Tutorials and Lessons, real time QnA, and just plain old chatting!!

What is D'Spot?

D'Spot is an online community available to anyone who is tired of the forums offered here at dA, wants to make a few new friends, or just wants a place to talk about their favourite things. If you've frequented the dA forums before, you may or may not have noticed it is a very hostile place. People constantly challenge you, mock you, ridicule you, and devalue your opinion. This does not happen at D'Spot!

D'Spot offers a variety of threads that you can jump into a talk amongst fellow D'Spotters. We offer:

Who's Online?

D'Spot has a crew of mods, admins, and members from dA. Think of it as an extension to the forums---a much more friendly and fun environment.

What's in it for me?

Well, honestly, what do you have to lose? This online community is full of interesting topics and interesting people that you can have fun with entirely at your leisure. If you have a little spare time on your hands and don't know what to do, why not come over to D'Spot and browse the threads? We even offer a Chatroom on the site, so if there are a few users online you'd like to chat too, just go ahead and start a session!

D'Spot is easy to use and it has a little something for everyone!

How do I join?

If you wan't to join, all you have to do is go to the website: [link], register with the host site, and request to join the D'Spot forum.

Recruitment Contest

Guess what D'Spot? This is the Launch of the Official Bring a Member Contest!

How does it work, you ask? It's simple!

Go out among your internet buds on all sites, whether it's dA, Sheezy, ArtGrounds, Gaia, Subeta, anywhere and everywhere you romp online, and do some recruiting!

For every 1-3 new active members you recruit, you will get a Doodle from either , and/or others here! For 4 or more members, you will get a coloured request pic!

Also: each of those new members will also get a doodle X3.

At the end of the Month, the Spotter with the most New Members will win a Prize! What prize, you ask? Well, you better go and do some Recruiting if you want to find out!! XD

As usual, please hit either or up with the nickname/username of your members, and their e-mail if possible, which is just used to verify who they are. Your new members MUST be active, and post as actively as possible through out the month, or they will be deleted and you will lose their point! Members who drop off the face of D'Spot after the month could cost you your prize, so make sure they will be productive and cool members!

Have fun and bring more people!
