Um... I wonder how many of you guys are still alive and rockin' here?

I recently read that deviantart is dying (what? again?!) and people are leaving in droves. Really? I have quite the opposite feeling although my perception could be biased as I keep a low profile here.

UPDATE: Speculations aside parallellogic collected some data on deviantart activity over time. As you can see both comments and deviations rates are headed down.

As far as I can tell, dA is still one of the best sites to post portfolios and archive your work. The tenor of modern culture, however, demands something more immediate than the essentially passive collection of posted art. Most of the dialogue is probably going on at sites like tumblr and twitter. I'd be interested to see how the 'feed' feature has changed this, if at all.
Many people above complain of decreasing quality, but my guess is that this is hardly a new problem. This is a community without any entry barrier, and as such there will always be deviations of the most abominable quality, more as the community grows larger.
