    Missing In Action

    Journal Entry: Mon Nov 13, 2006, 11:15 AM




    I've been missing from deviantART for quite a long time now, if you haven't noticed. And to borrow a line from Office Space, "I wouldn't say I've been 'missing' it, Bob."

    It's a little sad, I know, but it's the truth. Maybe I needed a break from it all, or maybe I'm just not into it anymore. I'm not sure.

    After dAv5 came along, I just felt like this site, this community that I helped build, has lost some of its luster. The new design is not a good one in my opinion, and features that should have been delivered 2 years ago (features we actually requested) have not been implemented.

    My subscription has apparently expired recently, but at the moment, I do not intend to renew it. Not yet anyway. I've not yet decided whether I will continue to be an active member of this community due to all the other things going on in my life and my lack of real concern with deviantART, but that may change.

    If you want to know what's going on, or you want to get a hold of me, my website is a good place to start. It'll be getting a redesign soon too, which is part of what I've been spending all my time on lately.

    So, good luck my deviant friends. I shall stop by once in a while at the very least, but I make no promises to whether or not I return to the land of the devious.



    I'm curious about what you all think...

    Should I start becoming more active at deviantART again?

    dA has become notorious for lack of feature implementation.
    Or rather, there seems to be a constant focus on adding new features rather than fixing/updating old ones. This is a poor focus.

    The Public is more Familiar with Bad Design than Good Design. It is, in effect, conditioned to prefer Bad Design, because that is what it lives with. The new becomes Threatening, the Old Reassuring.

    What are we gonna do without one of the head minds in the Comment Revolution! :'(

    I hope that either way what you decide that you end up happy. There is no point in being in a place that makes you cringe.

    Good luck! :)

    What would be cool is if we ex-staffers and former colleagues kept in touch through some sort of mailing list or message board... I would enjoy that, because I miss not hearing from some of the close relationships I've made through this website, during its better days.

    Don't worry Patrick. You're not missing out on much, if anything. Just continue to haunt deviantART from time to time like other old timers.

    I hear ya, splat man - hell i only get around to commenting on the deviatiants i watch about once every four months or so.

    I'm starting a new hard-core artistic approach to life, though, and will hopefully be posting some of my new artworks while this is all happening... who knows...

    Online communities are just that - online. If you find yourself having a life... in real life... your online one starts to dwindle.

    I've been a member of countless sites, groups, message boards you name it - but i always come back to DA now and again.

    In conclusion - At least it's better than MySpace.
