11 Things I Love About dAdeviantART has served us for 11 years already and, no matter when we joined, it definitely changed something for every one of us. Some of us have found friends, others received inspiration to create or improve their skills, or experienced changes in many different personal aspects as well.
So why don't we take a moment for dA's 11th birthday to write a list of 11 things we love about dA? How did it help us? Did it make us grow as artists? Is it fun? What did it get you addicted to?
Your entry can be sincere and profound, as well as silly and fun - it's up to you!
You can only submit one entry, and you have an entire week to submit your list to Contests > 2011 > 11th Birthday Contests > 11 Things I Love about dA. This gallery will be closed on the 7th of August 2011 11:59pm (PDT) and we'll be rewarding the best entries in the after-party!

Recently, I announced changes to Daily Deviations in this journal and I'm happy to say that the response has been favorable. To review, we have made the following changes:
a> The "3-month rule" is now the "6-month rule" meaning an artist cannot receive another DD if they have had one in the last 6 months.
b> Daily Deviation selectors are limited to a maximum of one selection per day. This has been put in place to focus on quality vs quantity.
The hard-coding of these new guidelines is now in place (special thanks to $ZombieCoder for that

).
These changes are part of an ongoing initiative to better our Dai

Presenting: Community VolunteersA BRIEF OVERVIEW
Over the years, we've been proud to offer the opportunity to volunteer with deviantART. We believe that our volunteers play a crucial role in helping our community develop and grow in positive ways.
The Gallery Moderator (previously known as Gallery Director) and Message Network Admin (MN@) teams have become a much loved and appreciated role, with many volunteers proudly detailing their experience in applications to enter into successful careers with companies who all recognise the value of volunteering in such a vibrant and eclectic community. Did you know that some of our now full time Staff were once volunteers? $fourteenthstar, $Moonbeam13, $pachunka, $aunjuli, $y2jenn, $damphyr, `Tachy-on, $dxd and $Ikue all volunteered in various roles -- and we are all very proud of that fact!
Over the past few months, we've been taking a close look at the volunteer experience -- what's worked, what hasn't worked a

deviantART's 11th BirthdAy: Let's Celebrate! Tweet

August 7th, 2011 marks deviantART's 11th birthdAy, but in true devious style, we're taking a whole week to celebrate! Our original plans for Deviants Appreciation Day were so huge that there was no possible way to express our love for the community in a mere 24 hours. Instead, we've created Deviants Appreciation Week, and what better time to host a week's worth of community-oriented events than in the days leading up to our birthdAy?

Each day this week, we have something special organized for you to participate in! Check out the schedule of events below to come party with us!

The Absurd Spot

By ^Thiefoworld and his +1

Here's this issue's Absurd Spot, brought to you by the letter CH of...:

`chutkat

If you could dye your hair any color you want... how do you think it would taste?

Bluberry Muffin >:
and sticky

Would you rather be a bird to fly the skies, some kind of marine animal so you could breathe underwater or a rodent so you could be... cute and fluffy?

I'm already cute and fluffy, my moustache says so.

If I could create a perfume with any aroma I wanted, I would create "Sunday Morning No. 5" with the scent of a sunday morning c: What scent would you use to create your own perfume?

Mine would be "Morning Horse Barn N.20" you know, because there'd be horses, on a barn, on stable number 20.
Very logical

What color are your dreams?

Pistachio! I like pistachios

How much time do you usually spend chewing gum?

Three chews or three seconds... flavour goes out quickly D:
Damn you bubblegum
