  • Thank you for your support!

    We wouldn't have been considered for this honor if it weren't for the support and passion of deviants like you. By getting the word out, deviantART hopes for the chance to bring you even more cutting-edge technology in the creative realm, reaching more artists than ever before. So, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you for all the support you've given us over the years, and stay devious!

    zvezdnyy In reply to ??? [2014-03-11 02:44:50 +0000 UTC]

    I'm not so sure I understand all of the complaints :I

    I have had several pieces of my art stolen and it was promptly taken down after I reported it. Seriously within a day each time. If you see someone's art being stolen, let the original artist know so that they can personally file the complaint and it will be taken care of.

    As for requests like taking down the 'Newest Deviation' section - um...just switch over to popular. It's there to give you that option of what art you want to see :T Just cos someone's art ins't HQ, doesn't mean they don't get a better chance for it to be seen on the front page for a few seconds. Srsly, just switch it over and don't go back to it if it bothers you that much.

    And with complaining about PMs, yeah they aren't that flashy or super special, but this place is huge and running costs are insane, I'm sure. Really it's a way of showing support (It might sound crazy to those who oppose PMs, but maybe they can keep this place running and hire more staff to take care of issues if they continue to receive this income??)

    And I agree with how 'pornography' should be handled better, but I wonder how many people report it instead of just complain about it? Perhaps dA could better enforce that rule, but I'm overall happy with my experience here. It's a huge community and people should understand that it can take quite some time to get through everything. I think it's a great outlet and its features are user friendly IMO. They have even provided us with an art program - dA Muro - and though it isn't the best, at least they are giving it to us. And they also allow for us to find work and sell our products. Finding work on here is a free service. Finding an artist to work for you on here is a free service. Getting your art out to the public is a free service. They provide the platform for you to grow as an artist and reach a larger audience than if you just started on your own website. I think that has something in it right there.

    If you complain so much about the site, and claim to dislike or even hate it, then just go :T

    That being said, I have no means to vote, but I wish you the best of luck dA.
