Peter is the sole administrator for PIL who users can contact if they have questions about the site.
He said the site is new, it has been going since last September (2008) and there are currently just over 6,000 people signed up. The "Artists Online Now" are displayed in the left sidebar of the site. I have gone on everyday for about the last month and their are always users online. I would estimate that there are about 5-20 users on at any given time.
No issues have arose regarding users, international issues, or copyright. However, users are able to block other users from commenting on their works. Peter said that if a user is upset about being blocked and emails him, (which is extremely rare) they send out this email:
"The reason that you can't leave comments is that this artist has blocked you from commenting on his/her work, for reasons known only to them. In order for the site to work, the blocking process needs to be available for members and be confidential. For the sake of this privacy, we can't intervene in this. However it appears that most blockings come about through language or meaning misunderstandings of comments that are often quite acceptable. Be assured this blocking has no negative impact on your membership."
