Oi people - think before you click!Yesterday I got spammed to hell with messages linking to different variants of this image:
They can have slightly different graphics or contain different links but the message is always basically the same - go to this page and you'll receive 20 000

.
I have to ask the question - how dim do you have to be to fall for it?
Ok let's see - we have an image hosted on a profile that is 1 day old and asks you to visit a website with a strange url with a promise of a financial reward on an another website. How do you even imagine that would work? And now, of course, people start crying that their computers got infected with malware. Which is great - every genius who fell for this obvious phishing scam deserved it. I hope your shitty computer burns and you along with it.
I know this is a no-duh for 90% of people reading it but for the sake of the rest lets revise what we all should know about online phishig. And before you go all:
No, no you can't.

Devious Journal Entryokay, i kinda have to say something....
some rumors have been going around that im homophobic (??) and i try to hide behind people, and im full of myself and that i hate you all and i manipulate you guys??????
im mean you can say what you want but let me tell you the real true me:
Hello, I am Emma i am 19 going on 20 in a few months. I am Pansexual (if you don't know what that is here is a link to the wiki page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pansexuality) I am super bad at talking to people because of my anxiety and claiming to have a disability is not my way of shutting you guys out, I'm trying i really REALLY hard at making friends and being more social and im going to start being more social with you guys from now on this popularity kinda snuck up on me and i really had nothing to say because i was so "socially retarded" is a good way to put it. I have faith in my art, i use it as a way of expressing myself and paying homage to my favorite subject: creepypasta. man do i love creepypa

Wow okay you know whatSome of you people are rude as fuck commenting on my drawings.
Just because I'm gay doesn't make me fucking special, and anyone else. OH WOW YOU WANT A GAY FRIEND BECAUSE THEY ARE AWESOME.
Stop right fucking there.
Now re-read what you fucking write on my shit before posting and think of how much of an idiot you make yourself sound and how you think I would take it.
It's for one thing, rude, you're making gay people sound like they are just there for entertainment, and you think my journal is just for fanservice.
It's a journal comic, just so people can read my life, there are things I will show and some things I won't, that's the whole fucking point.
I'm happy to reply to all comments because my watchers give the time of their day to comment on my art, and I really love that, but don't be a little prick about it and think it's all about you. This comic is about me/my friends/my family and if you think they are just fucking there for your well being, you gotta take a good fucking look

Bronies go nuts, and Nintendo Sucks?Equestria Girls
The trailer to "Equestria Girls" (the humanized MLP spinoff film) finally was released today. Aaaannnd everyone's freaking out. Again.
You know, it actually looks pretty decent. Bronies... please understand: I know you're a major unexpected demographic for the show. I know you enjoy seeing shout-out's become canon within the show, and appreciate how the creators do little things here and there for you. But... the show isn't made for you. This is not Cartoon Network and the target demographic isn't 25 year olds in college. You're a nice addition to the target demographic of little girls, but you are not the driving force behind MLP.
I don't want this to sound mean, but it needs to be said. This is where it becomes very important to understand the fine line between being a fan of the show and thinking that because you've invested so much energy into the show that you're entitled to things.
I'm sure the movie won't be as bad as everyone makes it out to be. It honest

Quit Whining, Whiners

by ~Nate-Zeman, Apr 13, 2011, 11:57:43 AM
Journals / Personal

Lately it seems like the subject of every other journal that pops up in my message center is whining about what's wrong with this website. To me, this site is a great blend of art and community. Yeah, sure, there are trolls and annoying things that go on here, but this site has millions of members from all over the world who all have their own opinions on what art is. It's the internet... everyones a tough guy online, thats just the way it is. When I browse forums on other websites (not just art sites) it's fairly obvious that people are much braver when hiding behind the cloak of the internet. There's a pretty simple way to deal with the annoying parts of the internet.... IGNORE IT! Writing 1,000 journals over and over telling everyone how fed up you are with this site just adds fuel to an un-neccesary fire. Most of them talk about how this site "used to be about art"... turns out those types of journals aren't about art either. Why not spend your energy perfecting your craft instead of wasting it on negative journals that just make you look silly. If you don't like it here you should save yourself the headache and just leave. This website is a business. The powers that be call the shots. That's their right as the owners of the company. I for one am in awe of how fast this site has grown in the 5 years since I've been here. This was the first place where I started to get real feedback from people about my work when I was just starting. I have made connections with so many people I couldn't even count. That is why I'm here. To share my art and get inspired by others. This is a platform for sharing work and getting it noticed. Yes, there are llama badges and other elements of this site that aren't 100% professional, but this is a community art site for artists. If you are serious about your art, whatever it may be, you should have your own personal website you are sending people to. It isn't DeviantArt's job to make a professional looking site for you to show clients (even though they've done that for you.) I almost never write journals like this because I like to keep it positive, but good lord, lately, the only thing that's annoying me about this site is people complaining about how much they hate it. It's perfectly fine for people to voice their opinions... I recently wrote a journal wondering why this site uses a green background instead of something more neutral that is suited to showing art. To keep bitching over and over and over though, is just annoying. If the green background annoyed me so badly that I couldn't stand to be here, I would leave the site. It doesn't though... it's a minor detail that doesn't bother me because I have my website background designed exactly how I want it because THAT is my site, NOT this one.

Anyways.... enough of my rant. Go make art.. go inspire someone!

Very well said. I agree with it being fine to mention a problem, but to continually harp on it... what's the point? If any of my regular blogs were filled with complaints like that... i would probably stop reading them. Luckily, most of my reads are filled with inspirational discussions and awesome work.

*DreaErvin Apr 20, 2011 Photographer

Well said.

~Nate-Zeman Apr 21, 2011 Professional Photographer

thank you!

I s'pose I are one uv dems whiners seence I whine too much, I reckon I could get me some cheese for my whine right?

Of course I get treated fairly poorly here

~Nate-Zeman Apr 16, 2011 Professional Photographer

I have no idea I've never seen any of your journals

~BottleQueen Apr 15, 2011 Student Photographer

You go, boy!

*Pale-Recluse Apr 14, 2011 Hobbyist Photographer

I count my self blessed in that I get very few trolls etc, course I'm used to other sites where the majority ARE trolls.

~MindBodyHeart Apr 14, 2011

AGREE! Check out our page for some inspirational art, quotes, and positive thoughts!

~Kirara-teh-love Apr 14, 2011 Professional Digital Artist

Well said Nate! The popularity of the site and artists has attracted a younger audience that doesn't quite understand what it's all about I think. Gaining fans and popularity is only a very small portion of what posting your art on this site should be about. And when they see how difficult getting noticed and dealing with criticism really is, it... well, turns to drama.
I must admit that dealing with admins on issues regarding art theft and other violations can be stressful, but the art community isn't bad at all, unless of course you have no one on your watch list but 13 year olds, haha.
