To be honest here mate, I'm quite terrible at convincing people to stay active on TheOtaku. So I think my efforts are quite in vain.
But anyway, Mate you know art theft is every where, and theres not a hell of alot of thing we can do about. But I don't think that you should leave because of that. I've heard of things getting reported and taken' down before; but of course not always.
But I think its a strange reason to leave TheO entirly. Because there are some great artists here that aren't on devART, and some great people that also, aren't on devART.
And just to be random and diffrent from the tons of comments that come in saying the exact same thing; Why don't you ask to be a report moniter? Like the dude that reads, respons and takes down the art?
I TOTALLY understand where you're coming from. it annoys me so much. There's plus and minuses to both sites I think. Are you considering leaving theO or DeviantArt?
well what i say is stay on the o for friends and the chat but post your work on DA its safer and if you want to show friends on here send each one a link to it its alot of work but better than letting your artwork get stolen you know you can sue the people who steal your work for alot of money since its on the internet
I know I'm getting kind of annoyed at the featured fandom thing. it should be to recognize artists that have talent but never make it to the front page, not just a peice that was just on the front page the day before. And it's always the same people too :/ I find that really unfair. It just really bugs me!!
