Fucking DA! v6 - Leaving DA:

Yep, DA has updated once again, again fixing things that weren't broken.

The Messager center?!

What's improved, the little cross that lets you delete messages, but other then that...

One, there is no longer the division between Message and Deviation. Now, why does this make me mad?, because the deviations clogs up space on my messages page. These aren't journal titles we are talking about, these are deviations, they take time to enjoy and should NOT be skrunched together between notices, (which I can't shrink in any way, shape, or form), and journal headers. And you know what, I can't get rid of it!

Fucking bastards, trivializing the fucking fantastic deviants I watch and cramming it together where it can be homogenized and served to the public.

It not only distracts me from answering messages, but dimishes the deviation when I get around to looking through them. Once you get there, I have to EVERY SINGLE TIME adjust it so that is sorts by Artist, rather then just clumping them ALL TOGETHER into one giant, amorphous mass. And once it sorts them, do you know what it does?, it left-aligns them! Rather then putting them in the centre of your vision, it skrunches them off to the side, out of the way, to leave room for the moronic messages DA likes to feed me.

And then what do they do, they add a new bar to the bottom of my message center with all of the daily crap. It's not part of MY MESSAGES, just drop a link from the main page like you used to, fuckers, and then the fucked up the main page, you know, how you used to have some popular, (now "popular"), devations, the newest submissions, prints, DD's, a nice, quick collection and sample that you can click on to NAVIGATE to larger content. Now it's just a fucking browse page, THAT'S WHY THERE WAS A SEPARATE BROWSE PAGE.

You know what, I think it might be enough to make me leave DA and never come back. DA's been screwing us with shinnier bullshit for long enough, I'm out of here.


What this means?

-1) I will no longer be looking at Deviations and Journals.

-2) I will leave my journals and stamps intact.

-3) In two weeks, (lets say, Saturday, July 26th), I will take down everything that I am not going to leave up, so probably all of my stories.

-4) Up to that point, I will be checking my MESSAGE centre, so Comments, Replies, anything directed at me, specifically. If you ask nicely, and I consider you a friend, I will be willing to give up my email address, (just be warned that I don't check it every day).

-5) I have been thinking about starting a Blog for a while now. If I do, or I move to another community where I regularily visit, I will tell you about it.

Note, I do have an account on FurAffinity, (same name), but aside from the fact that the site is down for heavy maintenance, I don't consider myself an active member at all. If you have an account there, please stop by and say hello.


I'm sorry to leave all of the friends that I have met here, but it's through the message centre that I communicate with you, and when that fails...

Caveat:
I write fiction. Nothing that happens in my stories are based off real events, nor are any of the characters meant to associate with real life figures, (except Jack Thompson). Some of the things are illogical, immoral, or downright illegal: don't do them!

All monkeys are properly trained, and none were hurt during the production of my works.

It doesn't bother me nearly as much as it does you. I love this community and I love the art. Even if I dropped the community I wouldn't drop the art.

But it's your decision and you can leave whenever for whatever reason. I know where you're at, anyway, so it doesn't affect me as much.

now that you're home i can see again
One of the reasons I'm leaving is because it effects the art, it hides the art, and commodifies it, and debases it.

IMAO, of course :)

If you leave, shoot me your email addy...I have an account on Furr too, although I haven't been there in a month of Sundays if not longer, I also thought about leaving this site when they started removing my art from my other page and just saving it all for my website (which I still have to finish).

Deviations are now a giant cluster fuck, and the cluster fuck of deviations prevents me using the message center. Sorry, but without deviations and the ability to talk to people without getting so pissed off at the interface that I start smacking things, what is left on DA?

I really hate to do this, but I just cannot use this interface, and without the interface, and I can't make use of anything deeper.

:peace:

Is it sub only? I haven't noticed anything different in mine.
