    Is deviantART Still Relevant?

    Journal Entry: Tue Jan 30, 2007, 3:34 AM
    I wonder, is deviantART still relevant any more, especially with all the other similar, and non-similar-yet-closely-similar, sites out there?

    After all, there are plenty of other freely accessible sites that offer far more bang for your buck, have a much more user friendly interface, are run by people with artistic morals in mind, are managed by a team that is interested in honest and frank communication with their audience, where the leaders truly care and listen to the complaints rather than automatically act dismissive, and where the developers actually update the site on a regular basis in order to quash bugs and add new useful features.

    So I ask again, is deviantART still relevant any longer? If so, why?

    Give us the URLs of these other sites! :)

    There's still a vestige of a sense of community here, whereas the other sites I know of, while well constructed, are empty and sterile. But if you know of a lively one somewhere, tell us where and we'll flock to it!

    I think that there are a lot of forum whores here, and as well as that there are a lot of crappy artists here, but beneath that, there are some amazing artists, you just need to go looking (they are rare, but there)

    So I think that dA is still relevant, but it needs to take a careful look at where it is now, and where it is heading so it does not make mistakes that will be detrimental to its health as an online community and a company.

    i find myself thinking the same thing right now, and i'm seriously lacking in any kind of love for dA, and more importantly, the running of dA recently. :no:

    have you seen this?

    [link]

    and its not the first one either....just the only one i have gotten involved in.

    Deviant Art is something everyone has adjusted to because it's been around much logner then some of these sites.

    In time, people will move, but there will always be an influx of new deviants because DA will expand and knows where and how to advertise.


    New things scare people.

    The only other website that can compete with dA, that I've heard of, in my opinion anyway, is Flickr =)

    yeah, I'd like to see other communities too :D I know I've registered in one other but hosting my own files was too much of a problem.

    except flickr is full of perverts :(

    dA is what I've grown used to, so I've never even thought of "moving on". It's true that it might be a little harsh against the users (especially those who are just starting out as artists - no attention for them), but..

    Okay, what are the other sites ? xP
