Goodbye dA

Mon Mar 30, 2009, 12:25 PM
After much thinking, I have decided to take down my work here. I got a virus from just browsing my own page while using an ad block program. I don't want anyone who wishes to view my work or even buy something from me to have the chance of getting a virus just for looking.

I want to thank everyone who has taken the time of day to glance over my stuff, I really appreciate it and hope to see you around. Good luck to those whom I would be honored to call my friends, though you all are so talented you don't need it =)

Anyone have any suggestions on where I should go from here?

<3

:( You could always just post your art on your myspace. But other than that I don't have any suggestions. :( Hate to see you go!

Hmm.. I doubt the virus was explicitly from browsing your dA page. What was it?

It was from an ad. What happened was that my dA homepage was the only page I had opened in my web browser and then it closed itself and one of those popups that says "You might have a virus on your computer! Click yes to check!" came up so I pressed alt-f4 and instead of closing it, it started downloading something. I think I was able to close it in time, as after doing a few checks it came up with nothing. But still.. I don't like that at all and I'm not going to subject people to it.

I'm a pretty safe person when it comes to online perusal, so I'm quite certain it was from an ad that was okay-ed and displayed by dA.

Maybe.... It's possible you got some sort of virus on your machine somewhere, (you were right to try and close the window though)

I'm not sure. I haven't seen anything like that, though.

Well kiddo, I also would suggest myspace and do what I do, have you profile on private if you won't wanna deal with a bunch of idiots! if you do get a myspace, I would love to view your stuff still, so send me your myspace link if you'd like! Good luck trying to find something! :D Sucks that DA is going through this.. Hopefully it doesn't continue!

Yeah it was probably just a fluke, but it was unfortunately the icing on the cake (if I could compare something so dismal to something so delicious haha).
