How did you have contact with Sotira directly?

  The guy's a user on his own site, you know. He's very sluggish to respond to people, and when he does he's rude and sarcastic and misspells words. I've been on InvisionFree boards with more competent administrators. Now I've had a chance to talk to a lot of different people in charge of big sites, and his style stands out in even worse relief. The Flickr guys will talk to you if you write them; Marco from Tumblr emailed me a few times in response to questions that I had. Even people from more rabid community sites, like the Gaia Online fellows, would write back and sound like guys who knew what they were doing, even if they were a bit silly or a bit busy. Meanwhile, the DeviantART team (not just Angelo, but pretty much every prominent administration member) is arrogant and hostile and in two cases, writing messages to them asking them about a feature resulted in their threatening to suspend my account if I continued writing. It's atrocious.
