No more Yellow Alien
Jark, an integral staff member, mascot and founder of deviantArt, appears to have been fired. We've already got follow-on resignations and it's all going down at the forums (too many petitions to link).

There is also a batch of comments that have been deleted from a Splat's journal (contradicting dA FAQ #336 & #160), contrasted with the recent journal entry of Liquisoft and accusations regarding PR and dirtywork contained therein.

No word yet from those-on-high, but conspiracies abound (Warning: very large image file).

Your .html links to http://jack.deviantart.com/, not http://jark.deviantart.com/

I spent a little time wondering how a nineteen-year-old in Italy managed to be an integral staff member of Deviant Art when he's so busy with school and his girlfriend.

It looks like quite a controversy, but I'm still trying to figure out who is accusing who of what.

You know, I swear everything I've ever heard about Jark can be boiled down to "he's an asshole."

Of course, DeviantArt is such a steaming pile of wank on a normal day that this should be extremely entertaining to watch.

Likewise. He - comes across as being more interested in the prestige of the title than the state of the site as a whole.

Also, his claims that dA is a 'corporation' and runs as such? Lies, lies, lies. They fail at business practices and they fail at LIFE in that respect.

My best friend got a paid account at DA, and when she ran into some troubles tried to contact him... Four months later, the only answer she got was "deal with it". So, when I told her what had happened, her reaction was "Well, maybe now they will listen to costumers's complains" even when she agreed that it was bad to get fired from a 'company' you supposedly co-founded.

Yeah. it's bad form, and it sucks for him, but I wonder if it's karma?

Um, that was mean.

Dah. The bigger the site got, the worse it was run.

Mean, yeah, but from what I've seen, it's pretty much the truth.

Ok, so it's not just me wondering when, suddenly, jark was this nice wonderful heart of the community guy?

I mean it sucks, but IMHO, the guy is a jerk. Spyed is a bigger on though, so I worry the days of free DA use my be numbered. Letting peole sue DA for free has got to be the biggest drain on their resources, and of Spyed is half the money bitch that I've heard him to be, well yeah umm at least he's not actively stealing from the print accounts?

Jark's not as bad as people say, in my opinion. He created DA and I think people are too sensitive about his sarcasm. But, yeah... it's irrelivant because DA is screwed at this point anyway...

You see, there are reasons why I usually don't pay attention to DeviantArt beyond my watch list. This is one of them.
