For DA, it started going downhill (not that it wasn't already going that way before then) when the whole "yellow" fiasco began. It seems to have snowballed from there.

Racier pictures have indeed been given DD's - I don't see why it is that some nameless, faceless asshole, instead of at least talking to KC about it first, goes crying off to the mods claiming it's pornography. *AHEM* How many DD's have been borderline and over-the-borderline pornography over the last year odd?

I'd like to see DeviantART, not DeviantPORN, nor DeviantSPACE. I'd also like to see the mods taking art theft seriously. Once upon a time, you could submit a detailed report and the offender or offenders would be removed and temporarily banned. If they did so again, it was perma-ban.

I've seen nothing of that anymore. Art thieves I myself compiled detailed reports against are still active. I've been temp-banned by the mods for submitting art theft reports before. People don't see why I bother when that happens. Maybe it's because I don't like seeing some little shitbag hyping up their "talent" that rightfully belongs to someone else. Maybe I don't like seeing artists give these little bastards the RIGHT to steal other people's art just because they themselves "don't give a shit" about theirs. I don't know.

I for one have always admired those artists who, despite all the bullshit and fucktardism DA has shown them over the years, remain here to assist others, even going as far as the lengths KC had gone. His departure is another piece of the community puzzle gone. Is DA even a community site anymore? (I'm asking myself that question, disregard it).

It's sad that one of the most helpful people I know through you had to leave like this. For someone whose country is a complete failure at even recieving a reliable shipment of his works of brilliance, you can bet I'm more than annoyed at not seeing his work in my inbox anymore. It was a small ray of sunshine, amongst many others, that I enjoyed seeing, commenting upon and faving.

He's got my everlasting support and admiration, and he's sorely missed.

What I think, I create.
What I create, I draw.
What I draw, I love.
What I love, is everything to me.

I prefer creativity, originality, dynamics and sassiness over cut and paste and paintfill and trace.

I learn from honest critique. Do you?

You know I'M using this on my journal.

The weird thing is I contacted a represenatative about his work and not only was it not a policy violation, they printed it on mugs for me. So it not good for dA but they can print it on mugs for me? I don't get the rules.

Some faceless someone is obvioulsy after him - I can´t tell otherwise - I wonder, WHAT fairness has on DA, if those things happen?

Thank you very much for creating this stamp, Poinko.

I´m editing all my HA! works( why not, I was influenced by his style )for have this stamp in, AND SO FORTH the new ones, would have it, too.

Funny,
Those faceless hypocrites didn´t EVER truly collaborated with anyone( otherwise, where are they, or whatever they "did" in behalf of other people - fans, artists and writers alike - since they dosn´t show themselves, either )in ANY way...

Sure. his art was a bit risque, but I'm sure he was careful. But why get rid of him? He seems like a nice person.

It's the end of an era and a result of a terrible mistake that will develop a great blemish on the site to fester for centuries to come. It's a crater of infected flesh on it's face that spews yellow pus and makes me want to drag it behind the barn and shoot it.

He will truly be missed around here.
