I had actually visited DA back in that time (with that look, I just didn't have the means to submit art at that time so never got a login till recently..)

A lot as changed since then...one thing that hasn't is the ARTIST.

Silly Jark! It's those 'legal issues' that kept his name off the page! You know, those same ones that keep him from telling us why you were kicked out?! How could you let that one slip?! Lawyers really are evil........

Seriously though...what an ass. What was he thinking? "I'll just SAY I was a co-founder...yeah! Not only will no one notice, but that automatically makes it true!"

It's horrible to see something like that happen. I'm so sorry for you and this community.

Very awesome comeback to Spyed's claims as the 3rd dA co-founder.
Having the addy there to check on archive.org was a nice touch as well.
Although im' curious, what exactly is the Jesus complex?

and I will always be behind you both!

I remember you used to be able to click onto "About us" and it would have a list of all the staff members and what they do (just like what you are showing above) but now when you click onto "About us" and it just brings you to deviantART HELP and Gorgeous PR. It was useful and imformative to know who deviantART staff members are.

*sigh* "...And then the prince of ninjas arose, taking a third of deviantART and plunging it into the depths of...." well, nevermind.

I just replied to someone the other day saying I did not consider him a co-founder... since it wasn't his dream. You guys are my heroes... Your site has pushed me in my art life through the community that is here, alive and breathing. Other things have helped, but this site and the community spirit living in it has really made me so much better, in a lot of ways.

Thank you for deviantART.

No, no, you don't understand... spyed said he was a co-founder... you must be mistaken... you've mocked this all up... you've altered archive.org... you're a big fat lier. The CEO would never lie... never! A CEO NEVER lies!

renonevada In reply to ??? [2005-08-01 21:49:14 +0000 UTC]

OK, huzzah.

In the middle...
The two decided, however coerced, to make the official history say there was a 3rd founder. They share in the shame of the lie. But they know that by saying nothing, they are just as responsible as the one that came up with the lie.

In the present...
Now hurt, they backpedal to hurt the man that scorned them, using the same business sense they once relied on as a tool to attack him with. And it works, the kids here are very anti-establishment and hate any change, demanding answers to things that don't concern them personally.

renonevada In reply to jark [2005-08-02 00:01:06 +0000 UTC]

That's because we're not getting any real answers. If your lawyer said nothing is illegal to mention about this whole thing, why haven't you already said it all?

What WAS spyed doing before DA started? Why did you all never challenge the 3rd founder thing if it's just a lie? Why do I keep thinking of Deep Space 9 whenever I type the word founder? Are you, in fact, changelings?

ing in honor of nostalgia and mostly just to support you too. I remember way back when the site looked like that. That was before I considered myself an artist. I remember browsing the site about 4 and half years ago at college for wallpapers to use on my school computer. It's only been 5 years since it opened? Seems like it's been around longer than that. Time flys eh?

But lo, even this place of Light was not entirely bereft of darkness. Defeated, as it eventually was, for a time the darkness spread its usurpuous wings over the land, and the people of the holy land were both frightened and angry.

Behind you every step.
