Description
If Eclipse is stablished as the only website interface, a lot of people are going to leave deviantART (possibly me included). I want people to be able to choose and not be forced into something they don't like. Even if you like it and the change doesn't affect you, fine, use it at your own will. Not everyone wants to or is willing to. People shouldn't be forced into something they don't like, that doesn't seem like it's useful or benefits them in anyway. Tbh, I think it's much worse than the current layout.

I've been on dA for literally half my life. This is where I found a community, where I made friends, where I found a family. This is my own world. This is where I live, with the people I know and love. And it's all about to be ruined. Everyone will be separated. Specially with everything that's going on around the world, deviantART is to many of us in quarantine, deviantART is our safe place. This change is the same thing as declaring death to the website itself to me. It's like seeing my life fall apart right before my eyes, and I didn't even get to have a word on it.
\
Even if I end up going to another platform, it won't be the same. All my friends, my family, this community, it's here. And soon it might not be anymore.

This journal explains some of the issues there also are in the eclipse update
The Beginning of the EndSo, most of you know by now that Eclipse is being forced on us by the end of next month. And I don't know about you, but I am seriously unhappy about this. Why? Let me explain.
Eclipse isn't finished.
The first, and one of the major concerns I have. It's not finished. We don't have groups, forums, the dAmn network isn't up there yet. All we have are our personal pages and deviation pages, more or less. I get that it can be unfinished while in beta stage, after all, that's what beta testing is for. Working together, developing together, listening to requests of the users of the site and working out the kinks. But pushing it as a default onto everyone in this stage? What's the point of retiring the old site if we're still getting the old pages on half of the site anyway? It wouldn't have been such a big issue to retire the old site if the new one was actually finished and functional, and not a building block project that could collapse any moment.
