First of all, thanks to oshidori and caloris for sending ACP some LJ Upgrade coupons for our account! (which had just expired) <3

Next, we have some cleaning to do, this time on videos section. (you can report mis-cat photos as well if you want).
If you find a video that has the wrong cosplayer info (you were tagged and you're not in that video, it's your team but some weirdo is tagged in your skit, etc)
Or there is a wrong series attached to your video, here's your chance to reply to this post we can clean it up for the new year!

We need:
1. Link to video in question.
2. What's wrong with it.
(The Katsucon 2009 Hetalia video is already reported, and we're tracking down the people who mistagged it since it seems to be intentional)

Hey, are you one of the photographers on this list, or know of them, or have they taken photos of you?
Before we had ACS, we had a cosplay photographer list to help tag photographers. But now with ACS, we're planning on phasing this old list out in favor of our ACS list. What does this mean?
It's high time you encouraged your photographer friends to sign up for ACS accounts. They just need to set up the initial account so their name will remain on our drop down list of photographers. If you like having them on that list, then bug them to join. If not, you'll still be able to just write them in. Perhaps you're such a GOOD friend that you can set up the ACS account for them, transfer it over and upgrade them.... for Christmas... tee hee.
Here's the instructions: http://acparadise.livejournal.com/28492.html

Why would they want to establish ACS account?
1. Show up on the drop down list of photographers for easy crediting
2. Reverse tracking on photos, photographers can track which ACP/ACE cosplayers have used their photos.
Example: check out Lionel http://www.acparadise.com/acs/display.php?a=40102 253 cosplayers use his photos, with more detailed information on the control panel on which photos were actually used.
3. Contribute to convention coverage, where other people sort out your pictures for you by cosplayer and series.
4. Photos are viewed on a site that is specifically catered to cosplay.
And plenty more reasons!

Here's the list of photographers that aren't represented on ACS and are at risk for phase out. Spread the word, it'd be a shame to lose out on their pre-existing stats that we already have on them.
