I don't post links and never will. I like sharing the works that I've commissioned but I feel no obligation to advertise for the artists. I respect your right to disagree but I'm not changing that policy.

Its your policy? Is there a reason you feel so strongly against sharing a link for those artists who work hard on this stuff? It takes no time to put a link.

I just don't feel a need for it. The great majority of the art I've post are from auctions I won, most of which are several years old. I don't have links to the artists beyond their emails which I won't share without the artist's permission. If someone notes me about the artist of a particular piece, I'll try to reach out to that artist and ask if I can forward contact info (this has happened maybe three times in the 7 years I've been on DA). Most of the newer stuff I post is from DA members who can be found easily enough by name. In retrospect policy might have been too grand a word, it basically comes down to this: I haven't posted links in the past, don't see a reason to do it now and won't be doing so in the future. Hope that clarifies my position.

Your position has been clear. I'm stunned that you're so strongly against posting links in the future. You can't really be that inflexible can you? So if an artist asks you to put a link you'd say no? Don't pretend like you're doing them some sort of favor by not sharing their email contact, a lot of the art in your gallery are by DA artists. DAs search engine is poop so when i search by an artist name i get a page full of their artwork uploaded by people who just upload their work like you and really it shouldn't be about that. Plenty of things are easy to find by name, but thats no excuse to distribute it. There's no benefit to you not to post a link but it does deny hard working artists proper credit that they deserve. How hard do you think it is it to put a link? There's no cost to you to link and it takes no more time than it does to put any description. It seems like you refuse on principal? But you're just wrong, technically you shouldn't even be posting artwork that you didn't create. That's called art theft. Some artists give expressed permission, but you could at least give them the courtesy. It really seems like you enjoy paying for artwork of girls tied up, you just don't seem to respect the artists who make it for you.
