Deviant Art decided to do an April New Years joke on its users this year. I was browsing around at the time and then my icon had changed into Lady Gaga.
At first I did not know what to make of it. Perhaps my account had been hacked? I doubt it. Anyway I decided to just change it to something new since I do not have the icon any more and then perhaps change my password after that.

So after seeing the change I decided to look around for a place to complain to DA about changing my icon to something else. Because while I do like to listen to Lady Gaga every so often, I am quite fond of my icon, it lets people know who responded to their message without looking at the name. Despite what DeviantArt might think a good portion of it's user reads English as a second language. Anyway, on the main page I saw the poll. It clicked right away.
Now it may seem like I do not like April Fool's stuff online, but that is far from the truth. I adore a good prank, but this is just not good at all. It's like the people at Deviant Art decided to let a 12 year old decided what to do.
didn't they change all avatars to mudkips 1 or 2 years ago?
ReplyDeletei think setting all avatars to something is all they can come up with
Hentai Foundry mirrored their interface...and made every image upside-down.
ReplyDeleteI also got some message about a button that gives people llamas.
