I just ignore and find work around's to their stupidity ( even the friggin DUMB "Max 10" Rule they put in a few months back. ) and soldier on.
I am not here for the site but for the artworks and to see n share in them. the rest is just background noise to me.

If they manage to kill the groups this place is done, rest in pieces zeviantart

They pretty much have with that Max 10 rule.. lots of groups closed up overnight. ( I ALMOST did too) and those that didnt were just abandoned.. now there are VERY few groups that have more than 30-40 page views a day cuz folks just dont want to take the time and effort to find good art and request it to show off.
And without the groups to showcase a persona art that artist has only their personal profile watchers to fall back on.. which means they have no real reason to stay or post/do their art if no one is gonna see it.
Thats one of the main reasons I post only singles from a person ( mostly) for my groups. so they can have their best shown and bring others thru that link to them without turning my groups into extended galleries for people.

it's retarded that they don't realize literally nobody uses the tags and most of the traffic comes from groups. The single thing that makes this site superior to others, great idea to nuke it

I do nt know anyone who uses tags for their stuff and it seems retarded to do so since the tag doesnt show you what the piece is or what it looks like. there are some folks on here I am in awe of what they do one day and skip over what they did the next. thats just personal preference and view. but doesnt mean I am right and when i do share something thru my groups I give it a defacto "nod" of approval that *I* liked it enough to let it in my groups. and that trust is very important to maintain and why I ( humbly and with great modesty) run two ( well more than that) of THE hottest and fastest growing groups here on DA that has built that bond thru the members and watchers that they all KNOW when the stuff shows up for the group it isn't some 5 yr old with Crayolas

kudos to you, it's rare for admins to take care of their groups by selecting quality stuff.
thank you zeviantart for making this more difficult

Thankie thankie. I select almost everything that goes in and because of it I can be 9 an AM) very proud of my lil groups.
Sorta funny since I originally started it because I only had less than 100 watchers in almost 10 years and figured Faving something wasn't letting em show off the really great things I was seeing from my watches.
I figured IF by the end of a year I had close to 50 members and watchers I would be doing amazingly well.
At last count my groups have over 5,000.
The term WoW just doesnt quite cover it.
