Trivia
CU is actually on its 7th redesign. The first 4 designs, though completed, were scrapped before ever making it online.
The title "Creative Uncut" is partially derived from a poor fan translation of a Star Ocean 2 music track that was incorrectly translated as "Let's Creative".
The most viewed gallery on CU to date has been Soul Calibur IV, which also held the top spot for more than six months straight.
During its run, the Inside the Gamer's Studio comic page was the second most viewed page site-wide, second only to the index.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q : I want to buy advertising on this site, who do I contact?
A : All advertising inquiries may be directed to the above contact address. Please be aware that Creative Uncut primarily publishes CPM and CPC campaigns. We work with creatives for 728x90, 160x600, 300x250, and 640x480, the latter being via interstitials. Ads containing pop-ups, tobacco, gambling, drinking, provocative content or auto-play audio will not be considered. Currently, we average monthly over 400k uniques and over 4.7 million page views (data via Google Analytics).
Q : Will you affiliate or exchange links with my website?
A : I am not looking for any more affiliates at this time.
As for trading links, I'm more than happy to include your website on the links page (must be gaming related) if you will provide a link back to CU on a page somewhere on your website in return.
Q : I found an error, bad URL, etc. Where should I report it?
A : Just send a quick message using the contact info above and it will be corrected right away. And also very much appreciated!
Q : Where do you obtain artwork from?
A : The largest source is media released directly by game companies, usually through their press releases. Much of it has also been manually scanned from imported art books, and to a lesser extent, from strategy guides. Donations from friends are also occasionally accepted, if they are trustable, though it's not possible to always know their source. If you find any questionable scans on CU, feel free to contact me about them.
Q : I noticed you cover the ____ series but not every title in it. Why?
A : Sometimes I simply haven't got around to adding every title, but more often it's because I don't have a quality source for materials. Gallery updates are subject to artwork availability and image quality / size.
Q : What programs were used in the creation of CU?
A : All graphics were created using Adobe Photoshop 6.0 and Adobe Image Ready. All HTML pages and scripts were coded in good ol' Notepad, though I do sometimes use CuteHTML for making code edits across multiple pages at once.
Q : Who is your hosting provider, and do you recommend them?
A : CU is hosted at Dathorn Internet Services and it's been a pain-free experience. The quality of service has been outstanding, and it all comes at a very reasonable price. I'd recommend them to anyone looking for professional website hosting with dependable server speeds and uptime. If you'd like to use them, be sure to use my link above so I get the referral. :)
Q : I have content I would like to donate, will you take it?
A : No thanks. The thought is appreciated, but I try to keep the content quality here high and the best way to do that is to create it myself or accept contributions from close friends only.
Q : I sent a message and didn't get a reply. What's up?
A : I try to respond to every message within one or two days. If you don't get a response within 48 hours, it's likely I did not receive your message. With the amount of spam I receive daily, it's possible for a message to get lost. To ensure this does not happen, please begin your email subject line with "CU MAIL".
