That's poor. I received an email on the grounds that I have illustrated story content - explaining why it was being archived. I assumed the same would have been sent to key participants in the Artists' Corner.
Apparently not it would seem, I had a quite a large viewership on my thread and I am still really sore about it, this was one of the places I could rely on to post my work but it seems that day by day we are being forced to either place our work behind a membership wall or not be able to post at all, recently I had this happen with Flickr, if this happens with Deviantart then I will probably have to just call it a day on posting art online....
I concur with your opinions and complaints. Like you, I graduated from art scholl and found that my best figurative work was erotic, even sexually explicit pieces. I draw and paint digitally for various good reasons. Now I cannot even share it.
There's a bigger agenda behind the site's decision to no longer display nudity. It's to do with age verification laws around the world, and places the site into a "text only" category, which hopefully flies below "visual porn focussed" radars.
