I've said I was coming back but honestly, i dont care as much as i did about dA. Guess i can upload some stuff here, but be warned that i dont spend as much time as i am suposed to be. dA is basically the worst place to display your Pixel Art and i completely suggest you that if you're planning on take this way of the pixel seriusly head to PixelJoint or Pixelation. Both are the most dedicated sites you can find around if you really want to learn about this underated (by dA)digital art form. You can find me there and ask anything you want, i'd gladly help you as much as i can.

Now, the Pixel Art Gallery of deviantART is looking for new management, as my dear `ShoneGold burned herself trying to improve what is already a mess and honestly i admire her for the epic work she did. this section of dA lacks the real team it needs to be sorted, if such thing is posible considering the huge damage it has been dealt to it already. its basically full(if not 90% of it) of Gaia avatar rips, MapleStory Avatar Rips, other game sprites rips/edits, and a whole lot of unrelated miscategorized work wich simply leave the true pixel art covered by all the crap now floats there. if you don't believe me, take a quick look over there. as bitter and harsh it may sound, its crap, but dA has no "quality"(and by quality i refere to only that what is uploaded is indeed Pixel Art) measure system so its pretty much you can make anything upload it there and nobody cares anyway. currently, its the place where you dump your MS paint doodles and GIF rips.

surely a quick answer would be "but you are free to report these and the team will remove them". I dare you you spend more than 1hr reporting all these miscats and rips one after the another w/o dying in the process. it was fun in the past, but in the end, is like killing zombies with your fist. you will get overwhelmed eventually.

another second answer would be "but GD applications are open, why dont you fix it". if dA really needs and wants to fix this, they will need more than 1 person to do this. `ShoneGold did an outstanding work and most of us love her for it. but in the end she couldnt do it all alone, and like most of us, dA couldnt be her priority. Such task needs at least a team of 3 or 4 dedicated people to 1) keep active events 2) clean the gallery 3) answer questions. i remember seeing SG spending over 7 hrs a day, but thats justs too much for the amount of work needs to be done.

After the wall of texts hits for critical damage, the short version of this is: either dA puts some eyes on this, or simply let it be flooded as it been for ages.
