Been gone since dA went to the Dark Side...
...and it seemed that enough time has passed to check in to see if anyone from the Golden Age of deviant/Art has survived and it is good to see some familiar names. Yes, I gave up on d/A after 12 years, quit cold turkey. It was rough the first week or so, not making my daily rounds, viewing posts and communicating with those who I followed. I've looked at a lot of art websites and none are even close to the Golden Days of d/A, but then d/A isn't anything like d/A any more. We had a good run while it lasted, but along came those who thought their plan was better and changed it all, thus proving that "change" is NOT a synonym for "better". Back in the real world, as major disruptions filled the news I decided to fulfill one of my life's objectives and relocate out of California.

For those who would like to keep in contact to le

The countdown for the last two weeks of dA begins...
All I can say is:

Protesting the Dark Side
In protest of being forced into Eclipse, from 12AM [Pacific Time] Friday May 1 through 12PM Sunday May 3 I will NOT be logged into deviantArt and I will NOT in any way access the website. The problems with the Dark Side of Eclipse are many and have been covered in an overwhelming number of discussions all over deviantArt.
Reference:
