rarr (art sites rant)
So there's Deviantart.com, with its really irritating "eww those two guys are sleeping naked face to face and not even touching IT'S PORN *delete*" and "oh hehehe, that's a sexy woman in leather dominatrix gear with a hand on her crotch licking the thick, long handle of her whip, let's put it on daily favorites". I could handle the no NC-17 rule if it was more consistent. Oh well. I've invested too much of my time in this archive to leave now.
There was sheezyart.com too, which was "like devart, but with porn", to which I was "AWESOME." Until it sold out, and forbid porn even more stringently than devart, thus transforming into a bad copy of devart with lower traffic, and then went on hiatuses and "down for repairs" for months and months, and which new interface and layout are hideous. And if it's really just Devart Lite, I don't feel like taking two hours to upload one pic to the two sites.
But I digress.
I can deal with devart and sheezy's idiosyncraties.
There's a somewhat-high-traffic site that allows porn, and yet. I hate it. For a reason that's rather silly, and probably out of proportion.
Still. I hate Y!Gallery. Hate it. Haaate it.
Because the first thing I see when I'm linked to their site is a big bold "oh, you can't upload anything and the site is liable to freeze your computer because your navigator sucks donkey balls and we don't feel like adapting to it, because only retards use internet explorer, never mind that IE is the most used navigator everywhere. Only the cool kids who use firefox or mozilla or safari or netscape get to be a part of our super-speshul club and share and navigate the yaoi pr0n."
I hate the tone of their little blurb. I don't care if the info they give about IE is true; it's condescending and snotty. I wouldn't mind "this would be more pretty in firefox, because that's what I use to navigate, so hey! I might have missed IE-specific stuff." But this isn't what they're saying; they're saying, basically: "okay, you can share your stuff and see the sexy yaoi pics! but only if you DESERVE them. By converting to our system. Because yours is eww." *chews on things*
I understand banning adult art, even if it bugs me a bit to be unable to share them properly. But for a public archive to refuse to upload anything for everyone who's too dumb and lazy to stop using IE right now ? No.
And yeah, I've got an account there. It truly is impossible to upload anything. On top of extremely frustrating. On top of "ewwwww a boobie".
Oh and their screen size is too wide for mine. *huffs*
I'm not going to complain to them, I'm not going to petition them. Their sandbox, their rules. I'll just take my ball and go home.
But yeah.

no subject
I wish I knew of a good hosting site, but being a shite artist, I have nothing worth posting, so I'm really only familiar with DevArt due to friends who use it. Wish I could be of more help, because I bet it would be worth it to see your work.
(Oh, and my Firefox-based version of Netscape is being a pain right now...so much for their wonderful platform!)
