Deviantart is definitely going through a major crisis.
But here i stand, in the middle, wondering WHAT exactly caused the crisis. Are we(the community) over reacting? Should we be more insisting?
I think not.
My opinion as won me many ennemies ( it seems ) and so, i want to clarify certain things.
-I do NOT support the 'new' staff members, but i don't want to overthrow them either, i'm simply waiting for a FULL answer. THEN, only THEN i'll choose my side.
-I feel some (a lot of...) sympathy for Jark and seriously hope he'll find some comfort in the many many deviations dedicated to him. I respect him and the things he's done for the community.
-I was a bit nervous when i heard the rumors about deviantart becomming a corporation... But then i remembered what a corporation is about. YES, it needs money to run, but what doesn't? I don't mean to insult anybody but... Does anybody REALLY know what a corporation is about? i DON'T think a corporation can keep us, the members(subscribers or not), those who made and keep deviantart alive, less of a community.
Then again, I DO NOT want deviantart to become money-centered. I love our (it's ours as much as it is the staff member's) deviantart the way it is. I won't side on this matter either. I want the staff member to show us the advantages and disavantages of it.
-I believe we deserve the truth, but rude words, threats, sending lawyers or bombs WON'T HELP. Those yellow letters are VERY cute and to the job just fine (even though the staff members can choose to ignore them.... well let's see if they can ignore a hundred thousand of them).
No, i haven't posted or faved one yet. I intend to, i promise, but i won't fave one about threats and anger, we want the truth, not a riot.
-I'm not asking people to do the same as me, I chose to stand aside from the fight until i can see what it really is about for my own, personal reasons. If you wish to take sides with Jark, or Spyed, then it's fine with me. But please, respect what the others have to say(respect is a two ways thing.... i'm not saying you should thank someone who's insulting you o_ô).
Well, I think that's it, thank you for reading and sorry for the long..... very long, explanation.
Nota Bene: If you want to proove me wrong, or proove me right, go ahead, I want to understand and if you feel you can help me do so, please do it in a polite way
(yes, my english is poor, please don't insult me about it, it would be pointless)
