Can I express to you all my utter loathing for Deviantart? I've hated their layout, their unnecessary crap that slows loading times to a crawl, the way they are infested with drama and lame, but now I've found all-new depths of dislike.

You see, I was tempted. Ursula Vernon had put up a new picture, and it was "mature" content, so I couldn't see it without registering. (It involved tampons and pirates. You should check out her lj and go look at it, it's hilarious..) Of couse /after/ I registered, she posted it somewhere else, so I might as well not bothered... But I did. Oh, how I wish I hadn't! You see, my email account called the email verification from Deiviantart spam, and stuffed it into my junk box, so I didn't verify my email. Today I went to view a normal, non-adult image on Deviant art, one that prior to this occasion I would have been able to view... and I get a "please verify your email" message instead! So I figure out what had happened, fished the message out of the spambox, followed the instructions, got a "welcome to Deviantart" page, thought all was well. Went back to click on the link to the image I wanted to see.... "Please verify your email." Ooooooookay. Odd, but whatever. Maybe something went wrong. Did the verification again, got the welcome message. Tried to just click on the "browse" link straight from the welcome page. "Please verify your email." Uh... right. Tried to copy and paste the link to what I want to see. "Please verify your email." Tried to go straight to www.deviantart.com, and click on "browse" there. "Please verify your email."

So now I can't see anything on Deviantart at all!

Isn't that lovely?

Yeah, I think I created an account there a long time ago, and I totally agree about the layout. Very superfluous as well as counter-intuitive. I never use it.

It`s just a cheap spin-off of Fur Affinity anyways :D

But yeah, never really did like the site.

They use the horrible layout to generate maximum clicks, to drive revinue.

Try deleting cookies?

I have an account there, simply for the fact that I'm too scatter-brained to build my own site and lazy enough with the scanning of stuff that I don't post all that often.

However, if there's ever anything you want to look at on there, just ask and you're more than welcome to use my account info. After about, oh, six years or so of being friends I think I trust you with my password. ;p :D
