ArtRemains [link] is a recently discovered virtual country where admins are elected/reelected on a monthly basis, where freedom from expression does not conflict with freedom of expression, where no threads are ever locked or deleted and where no artwork or member is arbitrarily or opaquely removed.

It's a country where artists have rights.

ArtRemains... it's for artists... not the other way around.

If I watched you it was because you said or did something that I appreciated and respected. Perhaps you questioned authority or made a poignant observation or made a suggestion that was largely ignored but which had merit.

Feel free to ask me to remove you, but most likely I will not. Feel free to report me but I have not violated a single deviantart regulation… but most likely that will not prevent them from silencing my voice so please send me an email should you wish to join. Also, please do not be absurd to think that your artwork cannot be displayed in more than one gallery at a time... in fact, it's in your best interest to do so.

Sincerely,

V. M. Smith

No, I don't remember what most of you did or said to warrant being watched. But if you're really curious you might be able to find what it was in this document that was compiled by epiphyte78... [link]

He selected most of the people and I added a few... but those threads go pretty far back.
