[dA Update] For Those Who Think The Staff Is ...
For those people who are under the impression that the deviantART Staff is wonderful, benevolent and can do no wrong -- I am going to share an important comment with you from Nerdy-pixel-girl (https://www.deviantart.com/nerdy-pixel-girl) that was posted as a reply to this journal. What she is about to tell you is nothing new and there are many, many, many, many, many others who have had similar stories.
I didn't read everything, more so scanned over it but I can relate to a couple things.
This is not the first time I've seen stolen content get a DD, I've even seen pedophilia get a DD. :/ literally a naked boy with a large..thing. ._.;
I was suspended falsely, for absolutely no re

[dA update] Eclipsing deviantART
Everything I'm about to say is merely my own observations, however right or wrong those observations may or may not be. So take this more as my opinion than fact, until stronger evidence comes along.
I've been noticing a very slow but increasing level of censorship occurring on deviantART by the staff. I've already made journals about some of this stuff, but the most recent one I've seen can be found here:
It has become a growing trend that actual bullies are allowed to operate here with impunity, where as those who might defend themselves against these bullies are punished by the staff. Hell, just recently I had some people accusing me of

[dA update] Total Eclipse of Customization
Please vote in the following poll made by ~CorruptTempest (https://www.deviantart.com/corrupttempest)
The above linked poll asks "Eclipse will be removing profile customization as we know it, will you have a reason to purchase CORE ever again?"
Also, here is a response from one of the staff (and the group conversation that followed) that I received on this issue.

[dA update] Completely New dA Site Design SOON!
If you want a sneak peak, goto: https://www.deviantarteclipse.com and insert the password 'totaleclipse' in the password bar!
Though I have no clue what the crap to improvement ratio is going to be overall, there is a glimmer of hope with some stuff so far:
- more profile customization options, including profile header customization
- no more ads. period.
- better organization of content (ie: journals, polls and statuses in one place)
I have no clue if dA Film will survive this transition. I have no clue if any of the basic functions we've come to know and love will even still exist or not. There is a lot of unknowns. Hopefully this new

[dA Update] 2017 Art Features by paradigm-shifting, journal
[dA Update] 2017 Art Features
There was no shortage of people interested in doing 2017 features, but none of them happened and it is understandable as to why. As emotionally and politically polarized as humanity continues to become -- the spirit of cooperation seems to be decreasing exponentially on the global stage and of course, we see this reflected greatly on deviantART.
This used to be a place where it was easy to feature artists, have artists featured. To collaborate. To discuss. To participate in artistic awesomeness. Now, it is mostly dick wagging about politics and yeah that pretty much sums it up. Even the Cosplay folks seem to be getting increasingly squeemish
BBSes are still alive and well and running on modern technology. I've just taken a break mainly because there just seems to be mostly focus on ego now and the whole productive cooperative spirit seems to be lacking anymore.
Like that one chick said on Avatar "I didn't sign up for this shit!"
Thanks. One of these days I apparently need to add more detail to the explanation because despite the existing description, I keep getting asked what the point is. lol
