I'm done with Deviantart.... I'm sorry...
8 years ago
Hey guys. Its Michael.. aka Trainman3985...
I'm sorry for not sounding to happy... This update is one that i'm too happy about. This update may also be unpleasant for some of my friends (Manly those who used to fallow me on DA)
But before I got the bread and butter of this let me start with a bit of history.
Back in 2012 I joined an art sharing site called deviantart.com. I discovered it and I back in 2012 when I just started my senior year in high school. And boy was it amazing back then and I started posting art. Slowly a lot of people have liked my art there and have been so for almost 5 yours. But sadly now due to some various circumstances I'm sorry to say that has to come to an end. As it's my unfortunate news to tell you guys if that I no longer can be posting stuff on deviantART.
I know some of you guys may not be happy with this decision but there's various reasons why I can't do it anymore. I know all of you guys like my hard work and I'm really happy that you did being on da for 5 years almost was a great experience and I had great plans for the future as well as some more stuff I plan to draw for years to come but little did I know my world would come crashing down onto me and would change my life forever.
Before I start I'm not telling the story to ask for pity or any attention. I'm just in lightning you guys on what happened and stuff that has happened since the.
Back in August of 2016 right around Halloween was coming around I was talking with some friends when I saw my da account got shut down somehow and then I got a note from the da staff saying I was banned for being in sexual role plays. I'll be honest I did take part in a few of them but it's mainly just for role-playing purposes only I was not trying to hurt or upset anyone.
Plus when I joined back in 2012 sexual role players from not an issue but I guess that changes with all modern f***** up s***. But then after looking closely I found someone on a friend of mine's page who went both going to not mention their names for private reasons.
I tried talking to the DA staff about it but they just wouldn't listen they just brushed me off like I was a. My heart literally fall, I felt backstabbed and betrayed. I tried to tell them the truth but they just wouldn't listen I tried to reason with them but DA Stuff just ignored it. I've waited for a reply since October 2016 but I still got nothing.
So I decided to wait thinking it would be appropriate to try and talk after a few days but since then a lot has changed I have since joined this site for Fur Affinity to try and get my interest in drawing back up and up to this point I have made considerable progress not only did I reconnect with some of my friends from DA and made new friends here. But I have also started making it videos on YouTube and started getting a lot more viewers and Friends.
It was around this time that I begin to question whether being on DA again is even worth it. Before you guys ask I do not regret the pictures I've drawn. I don't regret the RPS I've been in set for maybe a few. But most of all I do not regret the friends I've made over the years throughout the five years I've been on da. I've met some amazing and wonderful people a few of which I become my very close friends who I looked you as my family. And the fact that I was just kicked off of DA and I made me feel like I lost them. Their trust their friendship everything and that scarred me both mentally and emotionally.
Now a few years ago or a year ago maybe I don't remember which, I did hear that deviantART was taken over by a different company and they were going to change everything minus the way pictures are posted with that in mind I started to clean the little hope to maybe I could get back on deviantART but recently A friend of mine just he lost it cuz the DA just wasn't the same as it used to be. After I saw what he was talking about my heart sank. All the things that were done made me feel like my backstabbing betrayal and everything that they did make me angry and hurt which is why you are my profile page here you see my profile pic is of my ponysona as Metal Gear Solid Snake. Looking like a star shadow of his former self I keep that on to remind me never to go back on to deviantART.
My heart was literally crushed by the fact that a site that I literally contributed to with turn on me like this so I'm sorry to tell you guys but I'm afraid I'm no longer going to be on DA anymore and I'm just accepting the fact that I'll never get back on there ever again. Personally I find furaffinity and YouTube much more better suited for me.
On October 26th 2016 I've I made my new page here on fur Infinity. I mainly post Pony and Equestria Girl like stuff I wanted to post some of my train Sprites and other ever like stuff here but considering this is a site dedicated to mostly answers and furries I wasn't sure if trains would be too appropriate eventually I'll post them eventually when I do find the right crowd but I'm going to wait till then.
As for my YouTube channel I wasn't sure if I was going to post I was originally planning to do a rail works like series but because of my computer being laggy when I play Rail works I decided to wait until I get a more powerful computer to play it but then things to a friend of mine I decided to try sprite animation and as some of you may know.
My channel gotten popular things to my original character Martha the Reading T1. Who is based on real life locomotive reading T1 number 2101. Paint it up today as American Freedom Train number one at the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Museum in Baltimore Maryland. In addition to that I've also been trying my hand at voice acting and I have voiced in many different videos and to be honest it felt so satisfying hearing me voice a character.
So to conclusion, To my deviantART friends who I know here. I know a lot of you guys wish I was back on deviantART and believe me I want to be back with you guys just as much.
But sadly my faith in deviantART is just shattered and I don't feel that much happy about deviantART anymore. Not only that but when I look at some stuff talking about how I no longer on deviantART it brings back bad memories and I don't really want to relive those memories anymore. I know some of you aren't going to be happy with my choice to not come back to deviantArt but I can't say whether if I can return or not nor can I say what will happen for my art that is just more or less just sitting on there waiting to be deleted.
But if you wish to continue to support me and still chat. Then you may follow me here on fur finity and YouTube and also while I'm still looking for something to do on these other social media sites you may also follow me on other sites like Twitter Tumblr and Facebook and new for 2017 Instagram and you can also follow me on my Steam account as well.
But I have to leave few ground rules for Steam:
1. Do not ask me to do any church with you guys I have stuff I already have and I don't really want to trade it.
2. Do not track with me on Steam Chat or steam call or whatever they is called I find it rather annoying in I favor Skype over Steam Chat anyway.
And finally don't ask me to buy a game that I have no interested or want to play I am somewhat of a gamer and I do play video games. But at this point I'm a little bit behind in the times then I don't have the money interest or care to get caught up.
So aside from those you may also follow me on Steam in the other social media sites I'll have things provided.

It is a shame that DeviantArt just simply wouldn't listen to you regarding your ban and I wish there was a way to make them actually listen, even if we'd have to force them, but sadly, we cannot do that over the internet. You were one of my inspirations for some of the art I am doing today, so you gotta remember what great friends that you had made. I will tell you that if I ever bought DeviantArt, not that I'm ever going to, I would unban your account no matter what reason you had for getting banned.
I'm not saying you have to come back to DeviantArt today or even anytime this year, but everyone would appreciate it if you did come back eventually because the site hasn't been the same without you. With the news that you had moved, I am probably betting that you could create a new account at anytime without getting banned. You could also contact DeviantArt and tell them you're sorry for what you did to get banned and ask for another chance. I had done that once, my account got banned, and I sent DeviantArt an email telling them that I was wanting a second chance and agreed to their terms of service and they let me back on. They removed the ban I had on my original account and it was back and running after two weeks. I'm not sure if anyone would have that sort of luck anymore, but I'd say it's worth a try. If you don't think it's worth trying to contact DeviantArt again about that, I understand.
Its just if DA is going to be like this well then I'm sorry but my DA Day's are over...
I'm sorry
So in reality, you weren't actually backstabbed, just caught.
