Ok so we have an art portal. Yay?!?!?! Now we can be just like deviantart with out the lit (but thats coming I hear). What happened to this place? I remember this site as a refuge, a place that stood on its own and did its own thing and told everyone else to fuck off if they didnt like it. I remember this setting the trends, not following them. I remember this being the place to get a start, not battered down.

But wait you might say, whose being battered down?

No one yet.

Flash is a one way street, you stay on if you stay good but veer off if your shit sucks. Now we got an art portal and with art brings three people: The snotty, the spoiled, and the cool ones. And now you can just through any piece of shit together, put some bs meaning behind it and call it art, which snots love to do. The spoiled kids will fucking berate everyones shit except their own so now we will have twice as many zero bombers. The cool kids are ok, just trying to learn more and give advice when they can, the only good thing the art world has.

Im not an artist, but I am a writer so when the lit portal comes up, I wont post shit in there. Cause of my final point, none of this is a good idea in that no one will be serious about. Now of course there will be the exceptions to the rule here and there, but for the most part people will just find the art they like, save it, re post it somewhere maybe as their own work and call it a night. At least with the art forum this didnt happen so much to newgrounders, but with an revenue sharing in place, we are going to find awesome pictures from backwater artists but guess what? The people who posted them didnt make it but someone else in the backwaters I mentioned. All in the hopes you'll click their ads.

But to those who do want this to work out, best of luck to ya and for ya.
