Jark: Former Staff Member

Fri Jul 29, 2005, 10:26 PM
We can only hope this is not the fall of DeviantART.

--A jark justice thing
[link] --A petition type thing.
[link] --Please look at!
[link] --This too!
[link] --And this. This is important.

Jark's been moved off staff, like the other co-founder. He was the other co-founder of DevArt, I don't know what we'll do without him. It's spreading over DA like a plague. People have been chaning their sigs, avatars, everything. Even a petition and a club thing. Journal entries. Jark practically -is- Da. Rumor has it he's gotten kicked off staff. I have no speculations. It's been bringing on a huge talk about corporation vs. community.

From what I've been reading, and the comments he made, it sounds like he got kicked off. It sounds conspiracy like. Why have many other staff been going? Jark himself told us to look at his site, [link] , because he won't be kept shut up there. I've hear DevArt is going against it's policy and censoring people's comments.

I've never seen this darker side to DevArt. It's scaring me, frankly, and if I can't trust the administrators here, I'm moving to Sheezy. I don't think I can trust $spyed From what I picked up it sounds like Jark was kicked off because a disagreement with spyed and the other guy, on the whole corporation vs. community thing. Now they've got it so wherehe can't tell us what's really going on. This is pissing me off.. They're covering up.

"DeviantArt, in my opinion, is becoming less about COMMUNITY and more about CORPORATION.

So what we need to do is bring back THE COMMUNITY.

Here's my suggestion.

On August 7th, DA turns five years old. Five years for a website like this should be a grand affair, one big event.

So don't submit anything on August 7th.

I'm talking a print, a deviation, a scrap...nothing.

Instead, just leave a comment. Visit a user's page and just say hi.

If someone wants to buy a subscription that day, I'm all in favor or it. It'll keep the servers going, and anything that keeps the hamster running is a good thing.

BUT...I think folks shouldn't buy any prints. No print subscriptions. That goes against the COMMUNITY theme for the day.

We want to put the COMMUNITY back into DA."--[link]
