Yeah it's just a huge let down, and the fact that they didn't care one bit about what we users have to say makes it that much more disappointing :C
I miss the old Da, I have seen this website go from a glorious time where the community was talkative, helpful and fun, to a website where only the popular artists get attention.
The community changed, people keep more to themselves and it's a shame there was a time when I logged in every day and engaged the community and my watchers.
Oh well... not much we can do about it when the staff doesn't care..
