Ah I see. Yes most of the photo edits that I have seen have been from dA and not individual sites. So it makes sense that I would have a perhaps slightly biased opinion about it. Smile I apologise for that.

Mods. To be honest with you I don't really know whether they exist. They must, I guess, but I have never run across one. Or even seen that they have taken anything inappropriate down. They aren't even really talked about much, directly or indirectly. So actually it's not all that surprising that some people use dA as facebook, that others use it as porn and that others use it to troll/bully.

People abuse the wallpaper section on there as well as the desktop category.
What saddens me most though is because there's so much of it, when you politely tell someone they're breaking the rules they often attack you. But I refuse to stop warning people because very often they just weren't aware.

8C I wish their report system was more like y!Galleries. Someone hits report, gives the reason and it's hidden from view until a MOD looks at it.
dA's system of control leaves a lot to be desired.
Also. They don't allow tracing, they just require you to do an overlay of it for them. They allow referencing, and a heavy amount of it. The problem is that sometimes even then they won't take it down. It all depends on which MOD gets to it. Which is another problem. One of the anti-theft groups tested this. Several of us asked the Help Desk the same question... All 6 of us got different people with different answers. I'm waiting to see how THAT gets added to the FAQ. >8B But maybe we need to ask a few more times.

Well yeah that's good then. That they didn't know I mean. At least they weren't purposely stealing. It's still a bit of a pain in the ass if they just attack you. It's because they know it's wrong probably. IDK.

I don't go on y!gallery. Not as such. I have been pointed their direction before, but that's about it. I think dA thinks that it can get away with what it does because everyone is going to use it anyway. A bit like Gaia's system. y!Gallery does have a good system, now that you have explained it to me. They should introduce it to dA. Maybe someone should politely suggest it? Yeah that's pretty bad. Surely they should all have a bit of a rulebook going on? One that they all stick to. But I bet it's because technically no one can decide what is art and what isn't. They should get together and discuss it or something. Like a system where if a certain picture is extremely graphic or ticks three out of five boxes it should be taken down. Something like that. But then I'm not an expert on these things XD

Yeah, I'm not sure what criteria they have set up to judge by, but it changes from MOD to MOD. And it's been proven that if you're a friend of someone there you don't have to listen to the rules.

Yeah. But what can you do? Everyone seems to have a DA and the other sites don't cater to all different forms of art. Except for Furaffinty. Really, besides the whole furry stigma that place rocks. :T Lots of artists there post stuff not related to furry-works because they don't mind. xD You just have to be okay with seeing that kind of thing in your in box.
But everyone there is very chill and there's never copyright infringement stuff that I've seen.

That's cool. I don't know many art sites. I used to have one other than dA and there weren't many people on it but it was horribly buggy. Ridiculously so. I have no issue with furries, yet I doubt I'll join. I have left and come back to dA so many times now, I may as well stay. Besides which it's hard enough getting noticed on dA, let alone a small niche site. Or is not like that?

Not really, see Furaffinty has it's own unique forums as well. Much better than dA's forums so theirs more of a community feel with that as well. It's about the same amount of people getting noticed but there's no DD kind of thing so it's all random when searching. I like that it's not featured or "popular" just because someone else thought so.
It really depends on the way you like things. People tend to offer more crits and theirs no "paid" vs "unpaid". You can donate to the site but you don't get anything except the knowledge that you donated.
Other Art places:
MangaBullet: is nice, though mostly it's all going to be for fanart and cosplay photos. FREE and COLORFUL.
y!Gallery: nice reporting system and you're easily noticed and the clubs are really easy to upload to and create but only for pictures centering around males. Also FREE and you can customize your page nicely.
Paper Demon: Very nice for uploading comics on to and they have a special area just for adult stuff thats like a whole other site(called Red curtain). Very basic layout but a bit quiet.
Elfwood: quiet and I hate the uploading system.

I think I belong to a few other sites but I don't remember them right now. xD

I used to do DA. And then I lost interest. If people want to see my art, they can go to my PhotoBucket.

I don't like that people can buy my stuff on items without me ever seeing a dime on photobucket. >8c

That would be annoying. Fortunately, my art is not the type that people want on shirts.

You never know, but then again I just don't like the idea of it regardless. Of course, you can always have a hidden account and only to the individual files.

Sanzo; ah quite a variety there. I think I have heard of most if not all of those, but yeah. I may try y!Gallery but I suck at drawing guys XD I think I already have an account with paper demon though...not really sure.


My photobucket is set to private, though it wasn't til recently that I realised how to set it that way.

Yeah. There are very few art sites where everything is perfect, though furaffinity comes the closest in my eyes. xD But thats because the mods and admins are right there and do their work the best. Kinda like here. Places where the people in charge are friendly and hard working are ALWAYS the best. <3 *winks to Midorea people*
