°jark had his, now it is my turn. Don't expect =breakbeat to be very active here on Da for about another 14-20 days. Tomarrow I will board my flight assuming I am not on the national do not fly list and embark on my vacation. Some of my college bros from seattle are going to show me the rounds and all I know beyond that is that I will be visting Canada and Camping in the San Juan Islands and of course hitting up Bumbershoot. Only one more day in this fucking oven that is the valley!

:bulletred::bulletred::bulletred:

Some of you might have noticed my new avitar. For the record it has been literally years since I changed it last. As for da, obviously I will not be here to voice my opinions regarding any future changes and the currrent mccarthyism. Best of Wishes

:peace: :peace: :peace:

A few months back I sent a letter to both °jark and $spyed explaining to them my issue with the current changings surrounding deviantart. Only one got back to me. Makes you wonder about deviantart's priorities doesn't it?

breakbeat said the following:

Can you think of any other website where loyal customers who have spent hundreds, if not thousands of dollars are still forced to PAY to browse a website without Banner-Ads?

The only one I can think of is Deviantart and it upsets me greatly.

I understand that Deviantart is a business and I do not have a problem with you trying to make money off of your investment; however as a long-time deviant who has been a paid subscriber countless times, money hasn't been the issue in the past. I subscribed because I believed in the cause, and enjoyed the benefits of being a subcriber (Thumbnail Devwatches, large thumbs, journal images etc). I never had to be harrased with annoying banner-ads to feel like i HAD to pay.

I feel passionate about Deviantart, and feel like for those who are in my boat this new policy has been a shot in the face. You are alienating the very people who I would assume you would want as your target audience: Those who care about art, this site, and have money. I don't mind paying for a sub, but don't shove ads down my throat like I have been a freeloader all along. I have bought subs, prints that had frames, and I even payed twice as much shipping because nobody in the shipping department thought to put them all in the same box, but I still forked out the cash.

Therefore:
Why not allow those deviants who have spent over $150, $300, even $1000 be able to browse Deviantart Banner-AdFree, but without the other benefits of being a subscriber? Is that too much to ask?

I was excited and actually making plans for DevCon; however I am now questioning if I even have a role in this website (just a handout who has been expelled from the collective rectum in a mere 0.32 seconds). If you admns don't take this serious what makes me think you will even acknowledge my existance at DevCon.

I have faith in this site though, I just think it needs a small improvement. You took my "Random Fav" idea and made it a reality, so I know you guys are here to make this community a better one. I am seriously considering not re-upping being a subscriber because of the banners, (I will not pay to have something that I should be intitled to) however I still wish Deviantart the best!

Sincerely,

Jeff
