Good Bye, Deviantart...forever

After a second attempt to make something out of my profile and pictures again, I can clearly say I failed and it's finally time for me to leave deviantart forever. I'm very sad about this decision, because this website, my community, helped me to get my own exhibition and to develop self-confidence about my work.

However, this all changed last year and there was a big drop of interest. It started in summer 2008 and nothing has changed since then. I was awfully disappointed that it turns out that not even some of my watchers look at my photos anymore since you can fairly say that 12 views out of 171 watchers within a week is something you wouldn't expect after you had very successful weeks and months. After my exhibition it got even worse and now I'm at a point where I say to myself: Stop!

Apparently, I upload my pictures for nothing, and where is the point in doing this? As I already said the last time when I left for a while, I don't see a sense in uploading picture after picture, but nothing comes back. Again, faves are not more important than comments here. But for the past ten months, the situation didn't make me happy at all. I don't get more comments or feedback online than I get from my friends in the real world. So where is the point?

It's a shame because I did like deviantart a lot. But somehow it changed into something very depressing for me. I absolutely adore my new photos, but apparently I'm the only one who wants to see them.

I will switch to another website and see if I can do something there. I registered a while ago, but then left it because I didn't take new pictures. I will go back and I hope the situation will change a little bit. Otherwise, I will either put all my photos onto my own website or they go offline alltogether.

Thanks to everyone who supported me, you were brilliant and you brought me to a lot of good things, I'm very thankful for this :hug: :)
