Da is good...
But isn't good enough to help itself to an award.
Especially with its Payment system..
For example, PM's are nice and all.. but you are really going to use like, what, 3 or 4 of its ablities? And the price tag isn't so splendid either..
No offesence, but it is slightly irrating to see this happen, even though what seems like a majority of the Community isn't very pleased

Everyone knows dA is understaffed and sometimes mismanaged. There are legitimate complaints to be made. But to respond to a request for community support with "no, what have you done for meeeeee!?" is entitled and selfish. Oh I dunno, they only provide you with a free platform to share your art and thoughts, such as they are, to the world and connect you with others doing the same.
To paraphrase Kennedy: ask not what your community can do for you; ask what you can do for your community.

Eh. No offense intended, but I'm not sure DA is quite deserving of this award, compared to some of the other wonderful choices
Get rid of the Newest page (it's basically full of cheap recolors and badly shot porn these days), actually listen to deviant comments, and focus on fixing REAL issues as opposed to adding meaningless updates that no one wants. Then we'll talk.

Getting rid of the newest page would cause nobody to get their artwork noticed... Where do you think your art goes when you post it?

DRAG0NBLADE In reply to iDJPanda [2014-03-11 20:41:22 +0000 UTC]
I see your point, but there are other ways of getting your art noticed - posting comments, favoriting things, critiquing, etc.

HiddenWorlds In reply to iDJPanda [2014-03-11 03:16:59 +0000 UTC]
Yes, I guess I have an unpopular opinion but this is not fair to new da people if they removed the newest section then we would probably never get favs or comments on what we post...
I for one refuse to waste even more time I could spend trying to learn photoshop more to post on the forums etc just to get noticed..
If they did this then only the popular people would get even more views and act like queens and kings even more...Think it's fine how it is honestly we at least have a chance to get noticed...without having to post all the time...People do brave the newest section actually...and I've met several that have to fav me so it's nice.
If you don't like nudity/porn(??? have not seen much of this actually here compared to on other sites lol....)/recolors try to not look when you click newest or click a category on the left Then click newest...If you still get that stuff then eh guess your luck is no good...Prefer popular 24 hours to newest but eh it's not That horrible considering how much art is put out all the time and at least it has some sort of filter or attempt at one Lol.
All that said, I don't like having to download an app to vote just for this and deal with the things it could come with on my cruddy wal mart phone so I probably won't vote for that reason only sorry.
Kinda like da better than some other sites though so a bit disappointing but yeah my phone is slow already.
