I guess I should say a few things.... For the most part, I'm not going to use DA anymore. Well, not submitting anyways.

Reasons why:

*I hate how DA's settings get flipp-flopped around and also how their pictures take FOREVER to load up when other places take them no problem.

*I never liked DA's submission policy. They don't like anthro art stuff, they aren't too good on nudity depending, and they don't make sure other's are submitting their own work (aka letting others on with traces/copies/save-reposts).

*I don't like the way their catagory set up is right now. Half the time I didn't know if something should go in one spot or another =/

*I think it's rather robbery that you have to pay for uber veiwing and journal modding.

*Did I mention I dont' like how people can just save your stuff or trace it, post it, and get away?

*IF by chance you do find someone stealing/copying/reposting your stuff, you can't complain one bit. I've seen lots of people complain to DA, weather directly to the mods or passivly in their journals and linking them and get banned. Apparently, posting a link to said thief can "create a mob" with your friends who would follow your link to the theif and they'd spam the theif, and we all know that's bad. .....ok, I guess I could kinda see it's not right to rally people together and attack the theif, even though they deserve it...... ....but when YOU get banned when you were the victom of being theifed? ....yeah, that'll make me want to point out theives...

*I was thieved. It was just a photo submision and not a character one, which is why I haddn't said anything untill now... And if it was a character steal then I woulda wiped my gallery and left DA when it would have happened. I didn't post anything in the journal as I didn't want to attract attention to myself either. But if by chance the theif rallies HER friends and say I stole HER pic (when she stole it from me, I mean, for gods sake check the submission date!), and *I* get banned because she said I was the theif or one of her friends does it, game over. I'll wipe my gallery and that'll be that.

And now you know why my submissions had dwindled down less and less. The last two I submitted here were quick (and the Flash was my only Flash to put up here anyways). If by chance I get banned by my theif or one of their friends, then, well, you know why.
