I logged in today and had a note from Deviantart Admin. They decided that after almost 2 years the Full Site Template and Menu Box were copyrighted in some way. Mind you each one had download over 2000+ and they had been there for a long time.

The full site template was a Nintendo DS template (which I said was copyright Nintendo) I have NEVER claimed art that was not mine. The menu box was a City of Heroes example. Which COH has a packaged that contains that same image free for web masters to use.

FUCK YOU DEVIANT. I had over 40 submission with over 50,000 downloads. You can go fuck yourself. I am very disappointed that you remove submission based on some 12 year old admins decision. I am done with this shit hole. I wash my hands and removed my submission. What a fucking joke..I am disappointed in this site.

Thank you all who downloaded and sent me notes. You can download all my files from my web site. I should have them up sometime this weekend.
