While it’s been a case of “in again, out again”, I have again removed the registration system from my flash based painting site cellpaint.com.
I’ve decided that I will get more contributors without forcing people to register. The downside of this is it makes moderating users near to impossible and this is something I have accepted. Looking at the types of things users have been submitting it’s obvious people prefer to submit “quick scribbles” rather than full blown illustrations as I had envisioned while developing CellPaint.
To help stop the site from filling up, cells now have a lifespan of 7 days from the time they are submitted. I am hoping this will help keep the site fresh and constantly changing.
