Why I'm not leaving for weasly anytime soon...
12 years ago
Some people might remember I have had an account on FA about four or five years ago. Some people might even be able to find it, even after I've requested the site to delete me years ago.
Deviant Art is a horrible site. It's traffic is huge, so your chances of actually getting noticed is minimal, it's featured page tends to play to bias in the administrators, and the community goes from apathetic to downright nasty at times, and it's flooded and flooded with people asking the same questions over and over and over again.
So, when the Gender identification issue came up (So they could target ads from their revenue service), I left. For Artiscan, just like a lot of other artists were going to do.
... As far as I know, Artisan is dead. The community either left for other shores, or they stopped producing art... or I don't know.. fact is, I don't use it anymore, either, because when you are one of six people to upload something to the site on a monthly basis, you know it's over.
So, OMG, Drama that doesn't actually affect your income or your production is happening! I must leave! I can't figure out what really is going on, to be honest. It's either OMG, they threw out the Code, or it's OMG, that person raped someone... and while both are somewhat horrible, and in the case of the later, terrifying, it's... not affecting me. It's not affecting my subscribers, as far as I know, and it's not stopping me from working.
Sometime in the future, I might open up a Weasly account. Maybe. Assuming it doesn't go the way of YERF.... or half a dozen other art sites. I like being able to be found, and I really am appreciative of my watchers. I don't want to make you have to jump all over the place to find me.
If, for some reason, FA does go down, you can find me over here on Tumblr.

However, I don't suspect you'll have to do so anytime in the near future.
