wow. its been forever.
this place has changed beyond my wildest imagination. i sometimes think about coming back...i used to love this place so much. it was my second home. i left for a few weeks because of school and drumming. i just didnt have time. when i came back...everything had changed. not just things like the site layout and stuff...but the people. more than anything the people. there were so many of them...and none of them cared. i couldn't seem to see through the throngs of new people to see the ones i used to know. maybe i couldnt see them because they left, too. i dont know anymore. i saw alot of disrespect when i would visit from time to time. disrespect for the admins, disrespect for each other. i kept wondering why the admins stayed with it. why they kept running this site when seemingly nobody appreciated it. i am in awe at how they're still here. i know i would've quit long ago had i been an admin. serving a community that denies me respect and appreciation just doesnt appeal to me.

there's just too many people here. not enough of them are honorable and goodhearted members of this community. and its not just devart, its the entire online arts community. deskmod, skinz, wincusto...all of them. this just is no longer a place for the people who were here in the very beggining. i think i speak for us all when i say it's just not enjoyable anymore.

maybe i'll come back...or maybe i never will. in the mean time, if you're interested, i can be found at [link] and [link]

i hope those of you that i have known for a while here are still having fun and doing ok. take care, guys. i love you all. maybe i'll see you around.
