What happened to the DA Staff taking care of the community? They gave that up to line their pockets with Platinum.

Today is supposedly "Free Premium Membership Day" or "Freemium Day". It's just a ploy. There's nothing Premium about it.

I should know. I was once gifted with a Subscription (as it was called back in the day), there are still things missing today that I had when I was subscribed:

I) Subscribed, I was able to see 120 pics a page in a friend's gallery with over 1000 pics. I go there today, Still 24 pics a page.

II) The comments in my messages have been reduced from 10 a page to 6. I got 25 a page when I was subscribed. Today, still 6.

III) Subscribed, I was able to add a header with an image into my Journal. Today, it's not available.

In fact, the only thing useful about today is that I can browse the search page at 120 pics a page, which is SO desperately needed as every search query bought at least 10,000 results, with most reaching as high as 100,000 or more.

And DA Staff is alright with forcing people to go though these incredibly high amounts of pics at 24 pics a page unless money is forked over?
That just should not be.

So, DA Staff, here is your chance to improve your image:
Stop lining your pockets with Platinum.
Start caring about the community once more. DA is a community, not a business.
Give everyone permanent "Premium memberships".

That is all.
