I have been an officer in Canvas Zero fo a while now. Recently, I have decided to become more active. The semester is coming to an end and I now have a lot more free time, so I think I will do my part to help the union grow. There are a few things I must say about Canvas Zero Art Union, however.

The first thing is how many members we have. I have tried to send out some invites, but I really don't know anyone else at Gamespot other than the people that have already joined Canvas Zero. Who the heck am I supposed to invite? Right now we have 39 members with lots of mods. I just don't think this union is getting enough members. Yian, the leader of the union and also a friend of mine in real life, doesn't seem to be concerned about it and always say "that's the nature of this union," but I wish there is something to be done t get moreactive members.

This also lead me to the second point: the nature of our union and its purpose at Gamespot. I don't know if there are other forums at Gamespot that do the same thing, but right now what Canvas Zero is doing seem to have very little to do with video games. Gamespot is a website about video games, and maintaining a union at Gamespot that talk about something completely different just doesn't seem to be logical to me. That is also perhaps the biggest reason why we aren't getting any members: no one is really interested except the few who can draw well.

When Yian gets busy, he is hard to reach. But sooner or later I will talk to him about all these. This might upset him a bit but I don't think there is any point to create an elite club at this community. I hope you guys that are more familiar with Gamespot than me would agree with me.
