So Eclipse is ComingSEE MY LATEST JOURNAL ON THIS HERE:

I'd like to organize a proactive event to show DA the possible results of a permanent Eclipse change-over. Instead of deactivating your accounts for good, or indefinitely boycotting the site, I'd like to make a Statement of Silence for those Users against Eclipse. Starting May 1st, I will not be active on Deviantart. I will not submit new deviations, journals or even visit the site for 3 Days time. From 12:00AM CST May 1st to 12:00am May 4th. (3 days) I ask all other Users who wish to keep old Deviantart to join me in this statement of silence.

Not Only Is Eclipse Difficult to Navigate, It is so close to Plagiarism it isnt funny. How they aren't in a Lawsuit with Artstation is beyond me!
Look at these site comparisons!

Now I'd like to point out several people have told me that the similarities may be due to the fact artstation and DA are both now owned by Wix.
I honestly would need to do some research to see if this is true or just speculation.

Update
ArtStation is NOT owned by Wix as some of our sleuthy commenters have discovered!

it is owned owned by a company called Ballistiq but is run as its own entity.

"ArtStation is proud to be independently run. With no external investment, we grew our business from humble beginnings to one of the largest websites on the Internet. Being independent keeps us close and accountable to the community that we serve."
This was just confirmed to me by a current employee of theirs. ^^

Even DA's New Logo has Been Questioned as Plagiarism:

Perhaps the abrupt halt and slow down of site traffic will show DA team members the devastating effects this could have on their audiences they cater to. They have failed to listen when we speak out... perhaps they will listen to The Sound Of Silence.

Please Feel free to share this journal to get on board and spread the word.
Some have said this is getting attention elsewhere as well so feel free to share to your instagrams, twitters and so on as well.
Feel free to Translate this to Other Languages as well!!

Lets get it out to as many eyes and artists as possible!

Also, please no negative commentary. This is about supporting one another. Not Being malicious to DA or other users

Set an Alarm, or Follow Me, I will Post a Reminder Journal On the Day Before!
The Sound of Silence - Core Refund Tickets?Hello there! Creator of #TheSoundofSilenceMovement here.a fellow DA User noted me :iconrandomchiz: with another intriguing idea. That users send in support tickets asking for refunds on their Core. Now I know the majority of you will probably cut out core if you end up leaving indefinitely or even if you stay, since all them pretty perks are no longer available. And I highly doubt that DA will actually Refund anyone. However perhaps the flood of refund requests might make a statement as to the loss of their revenue in that regard. The double-edge of this blade however, is that they /may/ decide to refund us, and we will be cut off our cor...
Interesting idea brought to me ^
