Don't worry, I'm fine. ^-^; I'm not feeling bad or upset... This is just for the safety of my computer.
Some of you might be like, "hey, I've used deviantART for years, and I've been completely safe!". Haha...well, wish I could say the same. owo; Every time I go onto deviantART I put my computer in grave danger.
What happens to it? Well. I made up a list of the stuff my computer was troubled with:

- Being stopped by Chrome while browsing, due to one page being roamed by an attacker.
- Clutter-ups and slowdowns due to an incoming virus attack. This happened twice.
- My computer being buttfucked with malware. That meaning over 70 malware instances at once. o_o
- Malware managing to delete an important file from my antivirus software, which luckily it was able to restore.
- Worst of all, my computer essentially got HIV--something from dA snuck in and hijacked my computer, turning off both my antivirus and Windows Defender, and I was only able to stop it by forcing my computer to shut down.

Yeah...I was afraid to even go on to make this journal for those reasons. ;-;
I think the people running dA are giving way too less of a crap about the site, to the point where nobody's even paying attention to what ads are being let on there-
And before you say "huh, why do you still have ads? Get adblock, dummy"... I know. And I DO have adblock. And I've had it on when all these things happened, in fact! Adblock may remove the ads from sight and nullify the links to them, but it doesn't change the fact that they're there, and the sites that run them are still being loaded..
So, I'm not going to take any more chances...I'm leaving deviantART for good.
It sucks, because now there's some people here I won't be able to see again...and to those people, I'll miss you. ;n;

I'm gonna be posting art on tumblr from now on, so you can keep in touch with me here:
luckymintpop.tumblr.com/

Remember that I have a toyhou.se account as well, for listing OC's and such:
toyhou.se/LuckyMintPop

Thanks for reading. ;v; Have a great day !

The toyhouse account is achieved/outdated and the last activity from her tumblr was 2018.

It's a quite shame but oh well.
