...is there anyone left who remembers large thumbnails?(even for non-subscribers)
How about when DA was AD free?  *sigh*

Well, that's why I'm leaving.  When I was browsing, I saw what I knew was coming ever since the ads started multiplying like cats: one of those browser-crashing, full page, blocker ads, with the little "click me to continue to DA" at the top.  And when I did, my browser crashed.  

I dunno.  I know that it is gracious for DA to host so much art...but if they are THAT desperate for subscribers, and are willing to mutilate their site for it, they have failed miserably in their original vision, and I refuse to have my art presented here any longer, if it means people have to hurdle through so many unsightly ads.  Deviant art is no so deviant anymore it seems, as it is all about commerce now, like so many other hi-traffic sites on teh intarwebz.

And ts sad, because I've been here a few years, and I've enjoyed those years...but lately, with work, I've been unable to produce like I used to, and I've lost touch with a lot of my fellows here. I still miss ya'll, but that's just the way life is.

So, farewell, I'll still watch your work when I can, and if you happen to be interested in mine still, you can find some of it here:
