What a pile of stink

Sun Aug 21, 2005, 12:04 AM
As my subscription was allowed to expire, intentionally, I am now for the first time in over a year seeing how DA works for non-members. When I purchased a subscription non-members were able to browse the new submissions of the people on their watch-list by thumbnails. Now it seems that you can only browse the submissions by list. This doesn't effect me negatively; because I use a series of Perl scripts to watch the people whose work I enjoy. I am amazed at the lack of foresight the DA administration is showing in making the non-paying accounts worthless. I'm going to step out on a limb and assume that they did so thinking "If not being a member is cumbersome, then we will inspire them to sign-up" I only need to point to open-source/free software to show that if you make an inferior product then someone who will do the work for the love of doing it, will. As an artist I don't want anyone to have any obstacles to view my work and I personally consider the list only option an obstacle to usability. This move by DA is not beneficial to the community and solely beneficial to the individuals profiting from memberships.

And this wasn't all in my head.
Strapped down to my bed
Feet cold and eyes red
I'm out of my head
Am I alive am I dead?
Sunkist and sudafed
Gyroscopes and infra red
Won't help
Brain dead
Can't remember what they said
