It has been running for 7 years and it is very successful! You can post your art, (any size, and no limit!) make friends by adding them, personalize your page, and have fun browsing art! You can also comment on other art, favorite art pieces to save for later, and When I started I was having fun, going at my own pace, but now, I have learned many new things about art and Photoshop :D. I discovered this website after my sister (great artist you should check her out, her username is “Deer-in-headlights.” Well, she told me she was stalking deviant art for 2 years until she got her account. But now she has more than 8,000 page views and is still rising. So basically she still is active, posting her doodles, being inspired and stuff. Well if you're an artist you should really go to www.deviantart.com and get an account, 100% free :D.
