Nov 20th: Voting journal entry: [link]
Journal stuff:
Members now allowed to ask for the club password (which was “Edward” ) and are able to submit their own work to the club gallery, but they aren’t allowed to do anything else to the club. This privilege only lasted a short time and I don’t know the reasons for taking it away. (The privilege was started the 18th, and perhaps sooner)
There are a few design changes within the journal, but it’s not important enough to tell exactly what those changes are.

“Icon Member List” two and three are made at some point, as well as “Club Fanart” one and two, but were most likely originally something else (perhaps more contest journals).

At some point, clubs were no longer allowed to add fanart to their favorites, and cool-neko-chan started the fanart journals and said that fanart will no longer be added to the club favorites.
