Black Apple goes missing.
Why it got deleted
Alchemism, who is the staffer that featured the apple for a daily deviation questions the deletion and loses his DD pick priviledges. He immediately deletes his entire gallery. There's a lot of wanking on his profile page, but he hides most of the comments.
Alchemism then creates a new piece (a site wide feature) which he writes about the pieces he would have featured, if DA hadn't stripped him of his privileges.
