Because I've been using deviantart for over 12 years now, but haven't uploaded anything in like 5, and I've just logged back in after a year (To thousands of missed submissions and messages)
I know tons of people are still here and get great use out of this site, new people coming in, seeing some old faces too, but its also feeling a little dated (new UI in all) and the nostalgia factor is strong, but I'm not 100% sure how I can continue using the site when I haven't even regularly used it in nearly a decade. I want to get back into it, maybe find some new inspiration. I'm just not too sure as to how I'll go about doing that though. We'll see.
I miss the days of crappy fanart and GIR on everything. But theres no going back
