I was there from 2000-2006 and feel the exact same. I grew up on deviantART. All my friends were there. It opened my eyes to many forms of creativity and I may have never become a designer or entrepreneur without it. At the risk of embarrassing myself, here's what I was up to from ages 15-20: http://a-t-o-m-i-c.deviantart.com/ http://a-t-o-m-i-c.deviantart.com/

The 00s decade in general seems to have been the high point for small/idependent/hobby-based online communities in general.

Damn, I forgot I even had an account there for a brief time. 15 years or so, damn. I think even the email provider I had account with went bust. No way to recover the account. http://keyframe.deviantart.com/gallery/ http://keyframe.deviantart.com/gallery/ here's my embarrassment in support to you! Real edgy, I was.

I know who you are. I used Impulse for a long time. Kudos on that. I've had three accounts, the first one when dA launched, but then when I became an admin I created http://johnedgar.deviantart.com http://johnedgar.deviantart.com and deleted the old one, and then when I started working on other aspects of the community I created http://neom.deviantart.com http://neom.deviantart.com.

> It opened my eyes to many forms of creativity It's OK to admit you're a furry. I'm proud to be a furry.

Same here. I loved the community in the early 2000s. I actually met my wife on DeviantArt in 2002 and been happily married for 12 years now. My life would have been very different without that community. My wife and I both left the community pretty soon afterwards, though. It just changed too much after the switch in leadership.

I remember that Winamp skin \o/

I used your Impulse skin for WinAmp for several years, in my opinion the best looking one ever for that application. The rest of your work is equally excellent, you have nothing to be embarrassed about!

I think I was there from 2002 to 2004 but the language barrier was too big for me. God I was a mopey kid then. Here's my embarrassing page: http://sosa.deviantart.com/ http://sosa.deviantart.com/
