I'm out of here. This time for good.

Partly because of DA's continuously strangling Licence Agreement.
Partly because of the whole Spayed vs. Jerk Politics that I want no part in
Partly because I'm tired of being lumped with this huge group of artists, And doing poorly as far as popularity is concerned.
Partly because I want to hear what people not affiliated with DA have to say about my art.
Partly because anyone with a mind to can take my art off this site and I'd like to be able to use my own protection methods.
Partly because I want to offer an alternative to art sites like this, and I want to leave gracefully before I try.
Partly because I hate the name.
But mostly because I'm sick and tired of the grey...

Seriously, I'm not offended by anyone. I just want a change of place.

I'm working on putting together a skinable server-side website, (using existing blog and gallery scripts. It's no huge undertaking) once I've got it seamless and bug-free, I'll be offering it for other artists who are sick and tired of the grey.

I'll be starting that in a couple weeks. In the meantime, I'm going to the capital. Once I get back, I'll be setting up my own website and clearing out my DA account.

For my more popular pieces, I'll leave preview shots with links to the full pictures on my website. But I will no longer be updating on DA.

For those who want to stay in contact, my email address is: starflier@gmail.com You can email me if you want my msn account name. My current, (but ancient) website can be found at starflier.stationx.ca and my new one will be at metalsnail.frih.net Though there's nothing there at the moment.

That's all for now... Farewell everyone!
