I used to draw all the time and used DeviantArt quite a bit for about a decade. I didn't post all that much, but I used it all the time for inspiration, stock photos for models, color schemes, examples of good shading technique or composition, new styles to try out, etc.
Then went through a bit of a tough patch and got out of the habit of drawing, so I haven't looked at it much in a few years.
Looking at it now, it appears they ripped out all of the UI and navigation and hid everything except for a few tiled images and a search bar. There's not even a proper pager, just a 'Next' link. The community stuff is all hidden. The categories, all hidden.
That's really sad. There's so much stuff there, and now it's all hidden away where people will never see it unless they know exactly what to search for and get lucky.
