I agree with you but there really shouldn't be any qualms concerning that. After all, if you aren't comfortable giving out your address to others then you probably shouldn't be in this club in the first place. A head's up is nice, but despite everyone posting their ATCs, that doesn't really seem to promote any more trade =/ Reviews would be good, but this is a club, not a critic industry. We're supposed to be making friends rather than saying "this person was good...5 stars"...
I don't see anything wrong with penpals...but anyway, if you're having any issues with your mom, it might not be in your best interest to do this club.
So anyway, we'll figure something out. Thanks for the suggestion! =)
I think people would maybe feel safer if they knew who they are trading with. Like maybe a world to rate users... like I traded with such and such and I'm still alive... You know, a heads up to other what it would be like to trade with someone... but then someone can say something nasty about someone and it woul cause drama...
Every time I want to trade my mom kind of gets an odd look, I think she's unhappy about random people knowing where we live. LOL
That sounds like a cool idea. Only wish we had more members.
I think the problem we have with this kind of thing on theO is that a lot of users here are little kids so they have to get their parents' permission to give out their addresses. Though in that aspect, age doesn't really matter, but I think if a little kid (like a 13-year-old) asks for permission, the parents will think "No way! That person could be a predator." Whereas, if you're older, like 18 or 19, then I think the parents will be a bit more slack. At least from my experience, that's what happened.
Haha you're the head of the club, you decide! =P I'll add that suggestion into the post ^^ I'd be more than happy to try that! I think it'd be a lot of fun! Although the danger in that is some people might not want to trade with others whose art they might feel isnt' "up to their level" or something. I really hope we don't have members like that but maybe we should get their input on it first =)

;3; Thanks so much for posting this!
Maybe we can hold the occasional random ATC trade? Like put everyone's name in a hat and pair them up? If that's okay...? ;A;
