Many forums have them, and I wasnt sure if there was one around here. Could someone please direct me to it if there is one? If not, I would love to help form one. Thanks.

Well we dont have one...yet. Whats all entailed in tis 'artgroup' thing?

Well, there are many ways to start and help an artgroup grow if thats what youre asking.

1. You can make it like an ezine, or just a general forum battle group. Kinda like a military if you know what I mean. Places like Graphic-Forums and Surf Union have them. I even think Team Kitten has one.
2. The master of it can require that you submit something before you are accepted, or you can just let everyone in.
3. If you let EVERYONE in, there needs to be levels that you progress through usually. Such as beginner, novice, advanced, and things of that sort.

Thats pretty much the main idea I guess.

I don't think that this is a very good idea for that board, I mean there are special forums that you can join on invitation only if you are respected in "the community" or you have to show some of your art.
I think this forum is a very good place to be for everyone, it is a very nice place even for beginners.
But thats just my oppinion

An artgroup is a seperate part, that resides at a certain forum. It is the users choice to join, there is no bias related activity. I post at Graphic-Forums and they have a huge art group but it doesnt affect my posting experience at all.

So something like raster?

I havent been around Raster much, but from what I understand... yes.
