PLEASE COMMENT AND READ THE ORIGINAL POST HERE >

I am leaving deviantART.

I have deleted every deviation that I want to delete - the ones left are ones that I made for you (the community) to take and use as you please as wallpapers, icons, etc. (If you use my wallpaper, let me know! I'd love to see how you use it)

I have always felt uncomfortable about deviantART's privacy policy and user terms, especially regarding dA's use of artists' works. I do not feel comfortable that "you grant to deviantART a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to reproduce, distribute, re-format, store, prepare derivative works based on, and publicly display and perform Your Content. Please note that when you upload Content, you allow third parties to copy, distribute and display your Content" is what dA says in regards to your work. So I'm deleting the deviations I care about and not planning to upload any more.

To my watchers, thank you SO MUCH for everything - faves, comments, watching, everything. You all are so great. You can take me off your watchers list if you want. I will still be on dA as a forum lurker, and I will still comment and fav' works, as well as occasionally update my journal. But no more updates

TO SHOW MY APPRICIATION FOR MY WATCHERS, I AM OPENING FREE REQUESTS. One per person, any graphic you want. Just comment!

Well, I've had a good run. Bye, everyone.
