New Account!!!
New Account!!!It was not an easy decision to make because of various reasons - but I'm leaving this account.
The nickname is a name of a character of mine, that I can't (and never could) identify with. Almost six (6) years ago I only chose the name in a rush, I didn't even think about staying active such a long time (not because of dA, but because I'm hardly consistent in anything I do, quod erat demonstrandum).
The positive things about this
manslaughterer-account are the following:
▪
reason 0: six years, man! deviantART was quite different back then. I don't want to expatiate that now and here. It was different. And somehow it's cool that I've been here since those old days.
▪
reason 1: my watchers, newest to oldest:
I love all of you (the clubs, too)! You're invited to follow me to my new account and watch me again.▪
reason 2: all the views, comments, favourites and collection adds you have given me.
1,330 favourites and 2,560 comments, according to dA statistics. Please, if you like my art, even if it's only one specific artwork, re-fav on my new account, thank you!
▪
reason 3: 30,000+ pageviews - I'm not exactly a pageview whore. Actually I haven't looked at the number for months at a time until I had the idea of moving the account a few days ago. 30K, man! That's many (or much?)! It's almost 3% of a million or something XD - I wonder, if in six years the new account will have 30K, too...
▪
reason 4: club memberships and chatroom status - I'll have to note them all... well, sucky job, but at least they notice, I'm still there XD
▪
reason 5: my watchees (I call them that, my watched deviants). I watch
985 othter deviant accounts (can't list them here, please go to
manslaughterer.deviantart.com/…). I'll move many of them with me to the new account. I'll take the chance to get rid of dead and banned accounts. And of course I will move most of my favourites, too!
▪
(stupid) reason 6: the word 'manslaughterer' is imprinted as a result leading to this account on the first page, when you search on google. On Yahoo, too. Altavista, too. First result on Lycos... and so on. You
might think that this is not important, but in reality search engines are powerful. Who is that myspace-manslaughterer anyway?? (-;
But still, the name doesn't fit me (any more). Looking back, I think it never did.
So, after all, I'm creating a fresh new account. I haven't decided on a name yet... it's hard to find something likable that hasn't been taken, nowadays. Many, many accounts I typed into the browser turned out to be taken but inactive - which is quite depressing...
I'll update the journal with the new account name, soon!
EDIT: I have decided on my new name!
It sounds cute, close to nature, feminine:
enonea. I'm looking forward to update the new account!
(But acutally I have a lot of RL things that keep me busy enough for two lifes at the moment.)ToDo list for the moving:
