Thanks guys for letting me hear your thoughts on the whole Eclipse issue. It’s nice to know I’m not alone in being frustrated by it all. With that being said, I wanted to let you all know about #thesoundofsilencemovement
For those who don’t know what that is, its basically a call for users who are against the removal of the old site to not be active on DA for the first 3 days of Eclipse. Here’s the journal where I found out about the movement. I highly recommend you check it out.
The Sound Of Silence - DA StatementSo Eclipse is Coming
SEE MY LATEST JOURNAL ON THIS HERE:
I'd like to organize a proactive event to show DA the possible results of a permanent Eclipse change-over. Instead of deactivating your accounts for good, or indefinitely boycotting the site, I'd like to make a Statement of Silence for those Users against Eclipse. Starting May 1st, I will not be active on Deviantart. I will not submit new deviations, journals or even visit the site for 3 Days time. From 12:00AM CST May 1st to 12:00am May 4th. (3 days) I ask all other Users who wish to keep old Deviantart to join me in this statement of silence.
Not Only Is Eclipse Difficult to Navigate, It is so close to Plagiarism it isnt funny. How they aren't in a Lawsuit with Artstation is beyond me!
Look at these site comparisons!

So starting May 1st-3rd, I will not be online AT ALL. I won’t post anything, message anyone, or even log on to check anything.
*clears throat*
I, General Mudkip, call upon my great mudkip army to help me and everyone else make a statement to DA. Join me on this movement! I ask for anyone who is against the permanent removal of our beloved old site to do the same!
Will it make a difference at all? Will they listen?
No, probably not.
But I be damned if I at least don’t try and let my actions do the talking. The General doesn’t go down without a fight!
