‘Twas the night before Christmas on DeviantArt,
Not a paintbrush was stirring, and creators took heart.
The artists scrolled through Daily Deviations with care
Knowing kindred warm-fuzzies soon would be there.
Deviants were all swiping, all snug on their phones
While visions of inspiration across all time zones
Were zapped to their smart device, quick as can be,
At the tap of a button in a +Fav’ing spree!
When across the Interwebs there arose such a clatter,
I sprang to the Comments to see what was the matter,
“I’m bored,” the Journal wrote, “I’m on a long trip, too.
I don’t have my laptop, an

Celebrate DeviantArt's 15th Birthday!
As DeviantArt enters its 15th year on the Internet, we want to take a moment before blowing out our candles to thank the community for allowing us the honor of hosting the site that you call your home for art. After all, it's the community's 15th birthday, too, and in the past few months, we've been making it our top priority to share with you our plans for the future, celebrate the successes of our past, and look to you for guidance on how best we can serve each of you while entering this new phase of DeviantArt's existence.

DeviantArt is a vast community with over 35 million registered deviants. As such, it can be hard to find people you know or artists you might be interested in watching. As part of our recent initiative to simplify and unify the DeviantArt experience, we're looking into new and easier ways to find help you find deviants you want to interact with.
We recently posted this question in the Forums to get a sense for how best to improve these circumstances, and now we're interested in hearing from the community at large.
How would you like to find other deviants?
Example ideas for improved connections include:

IP Address Acquired: Fuck You Opposition! by ZeroCake, journal
IP Address Acquired: Fuck You Opposition!
Hello again everyone,
So by now a lot of you guys still don't think I'm Aly anymore. That's just bullshit, so I've taken the time to learn how to hack to show you that I'm really Aly. I've hacked the IP addresses of all (or most) of the opposing members (and any others I could manage to get).
***I was tempted to post them all here, but I don't want the people I've hacked to know quite yet that they've been hacked. So I will keep that anonymous. I will reveal one person though. :} Congrats Sparkey! I get to use you as an example!***
^ Fuck this idea. I shall post them all!

Some perspective on 'core membership' by DamaiMikaz, journal
Some perspective on 'core membership'
I know this is probably gonna be a long journal, but if you manage to read all the way through the end you might perhaps even get to learn a few things.
Furthermore I want to state that my opinion on the matter is pretty much neutral. I'm not with DeviantArt on the matter, nor am I against them. I just want to make people see things from the perspective of a 27 year old woman that has been in the web industry for the last decade.
The internet is not free
First of all, and most important thing to realize, is that the internet is not free. Everyone who lived through the early ages of web 1.0. (old people like me) knows that it costs money to

No matter the brave, fierce constructs we build and serve that would have us believe we are each one of us all alone as we make this journey, we make our way toward the end of all things side-by-side in our community of the living each day defying death. Our paths may be wildly divergent—the way of the hungry and impov
