Being an almost 2 year user to this site, I have experienced good as well as bad things. If you are an artist looking for someone to crtigue your work, that parhaps you would enjoy this site.
However, if you intend on drawing fanart mostly (like I do) be careful. People are VERY opinionated on this site. There are people on this site called "trolls". They seem to have nothing better to do that make fun of fanartists who develop fancharaters. They love it apparently and can be very hurtful.
Secondly, if you want to report anything, anything at all... dont bother. The DeviantArt staff will just ignore you. I read a story that a user saw someone post un-cencored pictures of a girl's... you-know-what... and the user tried to report this. Nothing happened. The staff basically it wasn't a violation of their rules.

Aside from that, deviantart is just as full of kind folk. My advice is to think before you post and keep your head about you.

Deviant art is a great site for building your own page, making friends, sharing art and doing various other related things. It's recently got clubs and stuff too.
I can't recommend a greater art sharing site for community but ofcourse being popular gives it some problems. There's plenty of idiots and art thieves along with people who like turning it into a porn site. Still if you're able to ignore these kind of pictures and people you can make good friends and have lots of fun.

I love DeviantArt.com. I think it's a fantastic site. I can see so much great work from so many different people. I like to see the daily deviations. Though I would like to see a day where they don't have something that looks so pretentious like nudity. There's only so many cool things one can do with nudity. There are other people that have great work that goes ignored for things that look like they captured as someone got out of the shower. To me everything is not art. Stating that it is makes those that work hard to create art meaningless.

I would like there to be more content on writing and promoting writing in some form or another. There's a lot for photography, drawing, painting and the like. But for writers it's only Writer's Workshop. I enjoyed it when I was in the writing workshop but those that handled that were not very good with keeping the peace. They would side with those that were doing the workshop because they were putting time out of their "busy" schedule to do it. Well so was I. They were belittling to my time and how much effort I put into something and did not appreciate my submissions and therefore I had to quit. I don't need someone to praise me, but I certainly don't need snide remarks left under the guise of "helping".

I look at this site and I'm amazed at the talent that is there that doesn't get utilized by someone. I wish I had money because I would so use some of these people for great projects I have in mind. This is a treasure trove of greatness that those who need talent. DeviantArt has so much talent.

I also enjoy their news and contest. I think that they try really hard to give to those that made their site. That is something Current.com and Student.com should learn---or they'll just become dead and a grave site for what could have been.

Fantastic for people who love art and creativity - I consider myself an amature photographer and when i found this site i loved it strait away because its a place you view the world of amazing art of all kinds including:
Artistic Photos
Digital art
Drawing
Painting
And hundreds more for everyone
