First off, please note that this is my first journal entry since March and the last time I submitted any art was in May.

As most of you know, I haven't really been active on here as of lately. I'm mostly a silent watcher these days as my time is limited and I can't reply to everyone's stuff, though I wish I can.

That's the main reason, but there is another... the drama this site can cause. Now, I understand when people have personal issues in their life and they want to talk it out to their friends. The drama I'm talking about concerns the one that involves anything to do with DA. For a long time, I dealt with it and mostly ignored. However, in light of recent events, I feel that I finally need to say something.

First of all, this is an ART SITE, NOT a DRAMA SITE! If you want drama on the internet, go to fucking Myspace! I'm sick of seeing accusations and fights over stupid shit. I'm sick of seeing people whine because no one commented on their art or added it as their favorite. If you're serious about your art, this is not the damn place. Go to a real art school and have professionals look at your work!

And QUIT saying you're going to leave but don't leave anyway. If you want to leave, then LEAVE!!

I'm sick of all the immature harassment and vandalizing of other people's art. Are we that incapable to solving problems like mature adults? I mean, unless you're ten years old...

And to DA themselves, you seem to like to ban people left and right. I lost friends on this site because some asshat hacked into their accounts and used them to do stupid shit. You need to do something about these hackings or else you WILL lose many of your loyal members.

And finally, on a small note...

To 'Liam,'

Do yourself a favor and get a life. Are you that bored with it that you feel the need to harass people through email? I mean, don't get me wrong, I had a great laugh... I mean, being threatened over the internet and all because we all know you'd be scared shitless if you tried it in real life... but there are other things in life than to hurt others. If you were bullied as a child, I'm sorry it happened, but doing the same to others isn't going to help you. Seek a psychologist. You're better off.

PS - I do wonder why you picked me... considering I'm not that active on here anymore. Whatever.

PSS - Send me another threatening email again, and I WILL report you. I have friends who are cops who know higher people who WILL find you. All I needed was your email address, which you did provide when you sent me the first email.

Oh snap!


And to those who plan to say, 'If you hate it here, why are you still here?' Because I have friends here who I like to keep in contact with.
