My subscription to the site's "cadre" has run out. While I intend to renew it, I havent yet. I tried going to the copyright (formerly vigilante) forums, and was given a message saying it was for "artist" members only. my status, it appears, has gone to "member" and not "artist".

For anyone not choosing to renew their subscription to the Cadre, I'm guessing this might be a bit of a hassle.

Just to confirm this, I've now re-joined the cadre, and the forum became accessible.

Thats strange.. i haven't yet renewed mine but i can still get into the forums

I got into all of the forums except the copyright ones. I know it's almost certainly a glitch, but thought it should be pointed out.

The glitch is that the "artist" group memberships are only updated once per day. You would have been moved into the artist group in less than 24 hours. You have to be "artist" or higher to view the copyright forum because it is only relevant for artists and that keeps to trolls away.

Ok. Makes perfect sense. Thanks for the response.
