GamerCreated.com would like to wish everyone the best in 2012!

It's going to be an interesting year! With the Wii U potentially coming to stores, we're sure to hear more information about the future of the other consoles as well, and for GamerCreated.com, that means a lot of inevitable updates and changes.

Consider this a toast to five years of creativity and community, and maybe another 5 more!

Can you believe it? GamerCreated.com is celebrating it's 5th anniversary!

To celebrate, we'll be selecting five top contributors (using a top secret formula) over the next month to receive (small) prizes as a token of our gratitude.

So let your creativity flow! Let's see your Skyrim character, your latest Miis, your Mario Kart, or just join in the forum games!

See you in 2012!

Hello all, just a quick note about uploading and recent server troubles: they've been resolved and the cause of the problem (a rogue backup script) was eliminated.

It's been some time since the last updates to the site but there's some incoming. Stay tuned and if you have some time, why not drop by the forums to participate in the Halloween Contest?

In what may become a trend, n8BitMan has recapped the events and contributions of April 2011 over in the forums.

He's got an interview with Eben-Frostey, some statistic and analytics, and even has visual aids. Be sure to give it a read.

While reworking the backup systems, a terribly-timed event occurred and data was lost. There's a slim chance more data may be able to be recovered, but it's looking unlikely.

Corrupted or lost images: 195
Corrupted or lost image "versions": 254

About 30 of those were Jose's and are now fixed, and some appear to have never existed in the first place (upload errors).

Unfortunately, it appears that users who were impacted were heavily impacted, the first noticed being profiled artist ShakeandBake. If you are one of these users, we are deeply sorry and offer assistance in recovering your profile data. You can email Jose directly @gamercreated.com if you desire such assistance.

Update: There is now a solution for users missing data. If you are affected, when you go to your Uploads page it will automatically notify you and present you with a tool to help rebuild your damaged portfolio while keeping original dates and times and other data intact.

The Blast Works section will be fully restored soon, and uploading and editing has been re-enabled.

Our deepest apologies to those affected by the loss.
