DA glitch

Sun Jun 14, 2009, 4:19 AM
I'm beginning to suspect DA's injustice particularly towards my works.
It's like its done on purpose to spite me.

One moment i see my current deviation on the front page, under the 24 hour most popular category, the next it's totally off the pages no matter how many pages i look through (not always the case as i do sometimes find it buried very deep behind the pages). And it still has hours to go before the 24 hour is over. It just totally disappears from the front page before its due. No amount of sifting through can find my works on the pages.

Just an hour back i checked and my [link] was around but after my dinner i came back and noticed it was gone from the front, kicked all the way to the 3rd page (sometimes even missing completely). Is there some ranking system for the front page that i do not know of? I'm not even sure anymore as sometimes works with lesser hits seem to appear on the very top.

I have been silently noting this every time i post a new deviation, just for the record. It is not such a big matter but i have always wanted to have my works on the front pages, just to show for the effort i did. And yea gain a bit of popularity along the way. Tell me which artist doesn't desire this. So i strive harder to make it happen and make myself proud. But each time this glitch appears as if very much on purpose.

It seems a bit unfair, and i suspect not only to me alone. But anyhow, life is never fair so i just gotta deal with it.

well, maybe it's just me being too sensitive about this and being too self-centered. Blahs.

Anyways, thank you all for the shocking support i got for [link] :hug:

could it be a glitch? because either the system ranks according to the number of views or it ranks according to favourites or something else?

well, I still feel that you deserve more popularity for your work, as they really show the effort you have poured into it.

Keep the thrusters rolling! I look forward to more works from you. :D

(you have soul drinkers books? I can't find them in bookstores yet, but I heard the omnibus is out already, and a new book for them is also released about the SD fighting necrons)

That also happened to me with this drawing [link] it got 1000 favs really fast, and it also appeared in the front page, but after some time, other works with less favorites and views made it dissapear :XD:

I don´t understand that system either, but oh wells :XD: your artwork is always gets lots of deserved attention even if it doesn´t appear in the front page :giggle:

hahaha i think it may not be a glitch. Once an artwork has enought favs to qualify for something bigger (eg. "popular for the last 3 days) it will get kicked further down or out of the section it was in and appear in the next one Y u Y (if you get what i mean)
:iconkaizeru:
oh ic....but that does not explain the other pics which was also around the same time as mine :D

those are still around :X

I see. That's good, because here in singapore they only have the omnibus books and the necrons one , as the individual books on the SDs are sold out or unavilable due to reservation

I am not sure but it might have to do with how they run the 24 hour count.

Most recent first in the stack, and not 24 hours from the time you view the page but from the last system save or something of that nature.
