Maybe you should use an image host that is okay with adult images next time? Not complaining, but it'll make things run more smoothly. As it is, this was actually a really amazing contest, and you rock for running it.

Yeah, that is something I definitely learned lol. I thought that the images could go through Photobucket without much problems, for at least a week anyway. Guess I should stick with Image Bam.

I am very sorry about the problem with the removal.

I am thinking of compensating the Artist for lost votes, in the form of a Gift Card. Hopefully this will not happen again. So, at very least the Artist had his/her art up to be shared

That's so horrible of them! Damn, whatever happened to freedom of expression? It's the internet and there are a lot worse things for the net-nazis to be worried about...

Ok, done ranting. I loved Entry 7 and all the others. So I hope this won't keep happening.

If it does I am prepared to step up to the plate and compensate the artists. Might take a huge chunk outta my wallet but It'll get done.

What I have in mind for my next Contest will not be something that can be removed like what happened in this contest.

Well it could but it would take a lot of welding, polls and levers. Maybe a HUGE truck, and three sled dogs... Don't know why the Sled dogs will be needed, but hell its December here in Pittsburgh, its always nice to have a back up plan!

Whoa, I totally missed this, I have been on another planet for nearly a week. And I missed some messages related to it, my apologies. :< I was excited, thinking about the contest every day. It's too bad that things get taken down where they are uploaded, but I understand why this is done--Even though it creates a lot of frustrating situations for me sometimes as an artist. I do advise for such things that next time the images are shared where they are allowed. I have not found many places, though. I have been using Tripod since the 90s, but it has it's share of issues.

I see some excellent art here!

It's a shame that Photobucket is actually evil. I loved #7! I'd suggest DA, but I'm not sure you can hotlink from there, plus folks might not want to be crossing the streams, if you know what I mean.

The thing with DA is that you have to upload art that is your own, that is a rule I value quite a lot! And outsiders (and minors on) DA cannot see things marked with "Mature content". So I don't think this would work out. But I do have DA accounts, and I like DA a lot! Though even it has limited me at times.

I think an image host like ImageBam will probably be the best solution, when I hold my next Art Show.

imageshack.com might also work for you. I haven't had anything come down yet, but I also don't have anything terribly revealing up there.

Funny you should mention it, last night on my review of "Rouged up" they removed 2 of the screen captures. 1 was a Censored picture of a topless women, and the other was some BDSM thing, without any nudity.

Huh. I've heard imagevenue.com is good for pictures with nudity, but I hesitate to recommend it just because the one time I had it up for something, my computer didn't like the site. But I have heard about others using it with no problems either.

Just shocking!

Isn't it surprising that all that can show up on day time television but god help us for it being on the internet?

Pretty weird! A friend told me what they could put on TV now and I was surprised (I watch TV maybe twice a year...).

I have had a few taken down from imageshack. I have found them nearly as bad as photobucket.

It wasn't clear what medium entry #4 was. Is it a modified photo or painting?

Imageshack took down two photos of dildos. Just dildos, no nudity, no dildos in USE, just... didos.

Since then, I've not used them out of protest. Hrmph.

The artist of Entry number 4 would like me to pass along that the piece is indeed photography!

Thank you for your interest

Bump?

After all that very much appreciated trouble to get mine back up, I decided to remove it, 7 months later. So if anyone sees this, wondering, #7 is gone for good. Sorry!

Viktor,

Thanks for the generous contest and amazing art. FYI, Photobucket has removed your listing #7 from their site ("violates terms of use") is all that comes up....so we have no idea what that entry was.

Tentacle vines. It was hosted elsewhere, but the artist had taken it down since.
