Also... Before DA there was Elfwood. Elfwood was a prestigious website tht was really hard to become a member of... I had a gallery there. It dealt only with fantasy work and had a near monopoly on artwork.

http://www.elfwood.com/

It still exists.

It had a wiki system before wikipedia really took off so its an early example of wiki-edited websites.

Prior to wikipedia growing famous, wikis weren't really used though.

And to submit the artwork... Ah... You had to add it and then pray it gets accepted by the staff to go into your gallery. I remember witing a month and a half to get artwork up. And when artwork was rejected, you had to re-do the submission thing, as sometimes someone else on their team would upload what another rejected. Offten the art was rejected for minor things.

DA is a lot easier. :-/
