Don't Give Up

Do you want to know the reasons why I decided to created this stamp? I've been a member of deviantART for over six years now and do you know what I see on this site that bothers me?

You see, everyday on the Today page of deviantART, I'm seeing over and over again how dArama makes users feel bad and want to quit dA someday. People who start the dArama could cause all sorts of havoc towards other users who support this site.

Here are my key points:

I strongly dislike it when people insult my gallery or display disgusting and erratic behaviour towards me. People who insult deviants (and their gallries) and treat them bad receive no respect at all.

I don't like it when I don't receive a proper critique from deviants. Deviants who don't give out proper critiques are poorly respected by the artist who submitted their works in the first place.

If I don't feel important on deviantART, I would feel very sad and no longer welcomed on this site. People who no longer feel important or respect this site and its policies that they agreed to follow upon signup, give up and go to their websites that they go to.

In that case, only cowards give up! I'm not a coward and neither are anyone else that I know so much! Believe me! Giving up deviantART, puts a lot of hurt on the community that I love so much.

While for some reason, while we all have to stop supporting deviantART someday, there is no reason to give up dA for as long as we like.

Don't give up on dA. Please, don't ever give up!

Please share your thoughts about this stamp and what is it like for you to continue supporting dA!
