If you feel like you have something to say, go for it. You aren't going to get banned for that. I don't ban people for disagreeing with me at all and never have. I just think that example is a poor one. In the first place the ad is 4 years old and ran for about 3-4 weeks. The reason it existed at all was actually...my doing. I ran Prints back then and we had a hell of a time promoting fetish print artists, so
I came up with a news article, put all the thumbnails in it, buried the article so young kids couldn't stumble across it, and did an ad swap with SG. Our banner that was up on their site linked directly to the fetish print feature and helped artists sell prints. Quite a few of them actually as SG is a better market to sell things like that.
And they have an audience that has money, and at that point in time the dA community was pretty notoriously broke and not really buying any prints. So I set out to do whatever I possibly could to help artists get their work out there. It also marks the *only* time that dA has put a banner up on any site anywhere.

So there, that's the whole wacky conspiracy for you. And it was due to connections I made back then that has kept me on friendly terms with people there and we shoot the shit occasionally. Which is how we have gotten into running just small scale little community based contests, and how we ended up over at their office and had two SG's shoot photos for us.
No big business schemes, no wads of cash and contracts changing hands. Just people hanging out and coming up with little things to do for the fun of it.

heh.
Uh-Oh... I've been otherwise occupied and haven't had my ear to the ground on this one. Wazup?

There are no stupid questions, but there are a *lot* of inquisitive idiots...
So, who wants to start the message campaign against DA's support of the SG idiots?

This oughta be interesting...Do these guys remind anyone else of that annoying group of kids in high school that just kept pushing to get that last word in, no matter how dumb it sounded? This is the SG equivalent of "Oh yeah? Well....your face!"

Yeah, I'm not the least bit impressed that they're doing this.
It's sort of ironic, that dA seems to pride themselves in not having "pornographic images" on their website, yet they perfectly happy to promote and work with a porn site like this. :no:

I'm making a point of adding a trifle more viva le picnic/boycott SG in my journal, though. Best of luck to you and Apnea with all of this shit, I really hope it can be over and done with soon, I miss your work.

I heard the door close
not slamming, but slinking shut
in an unfortunate and unhappy desire to be undetected
as if secrecy could lessen the pain....
sg's are also modeling da's shwag now.

I sent you an awesome email, I think you'll enjoy.

This is wrong is so may ways I can't even begin to start listing them. I just hope DA realizes how big a mistake they are making by doing this.
