deviant art sold

I know many many of you don't go to DA... but for those that do, the below article is very interesting... also if you have *artwork* of any kind there. For myself, I'm not sure what I will do...not that that matters to anyone but me.
Anyone have any dealings with Wix?

Well, not that it really matters to me as I don't use them, but lets hope they are responsible and make it a highly professional site.

If Jark (Scott Jarkoff) didn't sell his shares at DA he is now a millionaire, just as Spyed so ironically predicted in 'the final confrontation'. Old timers will know what I am talking about.

All of which remains to be seen. I hope they do as some of DA's content is rather......UGH!

Wow! Let's hope Wix don't bring it to the ground the same way eFront did with Skinz.org all those years ago.
What saved DA from going the way of the Dodo like most other skinning sites was NOT focusing solely on the skinning community, but also on the art community (which eventually became their main focus).
