The Issue

I remember the days when finding a conversation on DeviantArt was as simple as opening my Notes. Now, those days are gone. Without the Notes feature, I find myself spending hours searching for comments and messages from previous years, trying to piece together past conversations and important exchanges. It's not just an inconvenience; it feels like losing a part of my history on the platform.

The Notes feature was an essential tool for many users like me, who relied on it for private conversations, collaborations, and maintaining connections with other artists. DeviantArt has been a community built on art and interaction, and the removal of Notes greatly hinders that interaction. It affects personal and professional relationships nurtured over the years on this platform.

The change came without warning or consultation, leaving many of us in the community struggling to adapt. It's not just about missing features; it's about missing out on years of communication that shaped our DeviantArt experience. We understand that platforms need updates to improve, but these should not come at the expense of essential tools that serve the community.

We ask DeviantArt to bring back the Notes feature. Many artists and community members miss this vital part of their online communication. The Notes feature was more than just a messaging system; it was a part of our daily lives and interactions on the platform. Its loss has been felt deeply by many.

Please, join me and others in requesting DeviantArt to restore the Notes feature. Signing this petition shows your support for bringing back a critical part of the DeviantArt community experience. Let's ensure our voices are heard. Sign now to help bring the Notes back to DeviantArt!
