I dont know anything about this, but Im just helpiBy now, you've heard that Scott Jarkoff, aka °jark, is now a FORMER Staff Member.
I'm not privy to the whys, wherefores, and whatever-the-hells are going on behind the scenes here. Don't ask me anything about that. I know probably just as much as you do.
DeviantArt, in my opinion, is becoming less about COMMUNITY and more about CORPORATION.
So what we need to do is bring back THE COMMUNITY.
Here's my suggestion.
On August 7th, DA turns five years old. Five years for a website like this should be a grand affair, one big event.
So don't submit anything on August 7th.
I'm talking a print, a deviation, a scrap...nothing.
Instead, just leave a comment. Visit a user's page and just say hi.
If someone wants to buy a subscription that day, I'm all in favor or it. It'll keep the servers going, and anything that keeps the hamster running is a good thing.
BUT...I think folks shouldn't buy any prints. No print subscriptions. That goes against the COMMUNITY theme for the day.
We want to put the COMMUNITY back into DA.
If you're in favor of this, if you believe in the power this COMMUNITY has, then join me. Post this in your own journal. Spread the word to everyone, with a and a .
We might be touting at windmills like Don Quixote.
But if enough of us do it, we might be able to remind everyone that this is a COMMUNITY first and foremost.
Join me. On August 7th, let's take back DeviantArt.

Think about this...
You may not realize it,but it's 100% true.
*PLEASE READ THIS WHOLE POST IT'S SO DAMN TRUE*
1. At least 2 people in this world love you so much they would die for you.
2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.
3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you.
4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you.
5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.
6. You mean the world to someone.
7. If not for you, someone may not be living.
8. You are special and unique.
9. Someone that you don't even know exists, loves you.
10. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.
11. When you think the world has turned its back on you, take a look: you most likely turned your back on the world.
12. When you think you have no chance of getting what you want, you probably won't get it, but if you believe in yourself, probably, sooner or later, you will get it.
13. Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude remarks.
14. Always tell someone how you feel about them; you will feel much better when they know.
15. If you have a great friend, take the time to let them know that they are great. Add this as a comment to ten of ur friends tonight and at midnight your true love will find you. Something good will happen to you at 2:25 tomorrow. Get ready for the biggest shock of your life. Whoever breaks this chain letter will be cursed with 10 relationship problems for the next ten years...
