Friends, I have some news to break. As you can plainly see, I am officially done with deviantART. Why? Not just because of a number of demanding requests, but even worse. Users like "damanwoah", and better check this out. That individual is nothing but a lowlife. Has nothing better to do that smear hateful remarks on everyone's pages. I don't know if I'm gonna deactivate my DA account, or not, but I am calling DA quits. If editing is needed, you are welcome to do so.

Your DeviantArt page has become an invaluable resource to the community for its historic Wheel layouts...if anything, leave it up for that reason. Or start an album with said artwork on another site (Photobucket, Picasa, Flickr, etc.), and send me a link to that for the Links page instead.

Sorry you feel that way, Wheelgenius. If it's any consolation, it's pretty obvious to me that damanwoah and "GDJ" are the same person, who is now infamous among the game show community for having serious anger issues. He posts the same kinds of racist comments on various game show videos on YouTube and he has made at least SIX accounts on this forum, usually getting banned after just one post. He has trolled golden-road.net as well, once joining just to rage over the fact that he was banned from here, as if both forums had the exact same staff then. :lol: It's your decision what you do with your DeviantArt, but I would leave it up because it's so pleasing to look at. Don't let one troll ruin everything. One last thing: I am honored to have some of my work featured in some of your deviations. I was part of that WOF Yahoo Group started by germanname since about 2007 and I joined only so that I could see your Wheels because they seemed so authentic to me, though your work has really come a long way since, getting every single detail down to the font and the very nice resolution. Before, your Wheels only used the Chesterfield font and IIRC, they were about 600x600 JPEG files with a white background. If it weren't for you, I would still be extracting and altering wedges from the Vanna For a Day toolkit layout like I did when I first started posting wedges. Thank you for all of your contributions to the Wheel fandom. I love seeing your work getting used in large mediums, like a Wheel in a station ad or news story, or your puzzle board on a football stadium jumbotron (first result when you search "wheel of fortune board" on Google Images), or even getting your MDW in an official WOF YouTube video. I truly hope Sony hires you someday.

Maybe you guys are right. I should keep it up, but if I'm gonna post more, I'd rather use Fan Art Central, or Imgur. Plus, I figured that these two accounts mentioned are of one user. Besides, the link to my Fan Art Central page is included in the signature.
I know for a fact that trolls, like who I mentioned, are not to be fed. Feeding trolls are like poking at a grizzly bear. Ignorance is possibly the best solution. I've already flagged his comments as spam, and reported him.
And MarioGS, thanks for you compliments.

I hope this doesn't come across as insensitive because that isn't my intent at all. My two cents though would be that I wouldn't quit dA completely just because of one asshole who is clearly not a sane person. It's your prerogative of course but in my opinion you've done such FANTASTIC things on there that it would be really unfortunate to discontinue that, even if the stuff you've already done is still up. Don't give in to freaks like whoever that guy is. Again though it's your decision and if you really can't take it anymore then by all means find other ways to post your stuff.

I've seen that, DJ. These "trolls" just never learn.

That guy's account is finally banned. Both of his accounts. All I could say is good riddance.
