Presenting: Community VolunteersA BRIEF OVERVIEW
Over the years, we've been proud to offer the opportunity to volunteer with deviantART. We believe that our volunteers play a crucial role in helping our community develop and grow in positive ways.  
The Gallery Moderator (previously known as Gallery Director) and Message Network Admin (MN@) teams have become a much loved and appreciated role, with many volunteers proudly detailing their experience in applications to enter into successful careers with companies who all recognise the value of volunteering in such a vibrant and eclectic community. Did you know that some of our now full time Staff were once volunteers? $fourteenthstar, $Moonbeam13, $pachunka, $aunjuli, $y2jenn, $damphyr, `Tachy-on, $dxd and $Ikue all volunteered in various roles -- and we are all very proud of that fact!
Over the past few months, we've been taking a close look at the volunteer experience -- what's worked, what hasn't worked a
A chat with #dt    #dt

Are you a geek or developer and interested in the inner-workings of deviantART or what it takes to maintain a website as large as this?

#dt (deviousTechnology) is the department at dA responsible for coding all the cool features & squashing all the un-cool bugs.  On Tuesday, July 19th they'll be coming together in our #auditorium chatroom to answer some of your nagging technical questions.

So don't miss this opportunity to hang out with the geeky side of deviantART!

  When?

This live featured chat will happen on Tuesday, July 19th, 2011, 1:30pm to 2:30pm PST. (Click here for your local time.)

deviantART's 11th BirthdAy: Let's Celebrate!   Tweet

August 7th, 2011 marks deviantART's 11th birthdAy, but in true devious style, we're taking a whole week to celebrate! Our original plans for Deviants Appreciation Day were so huge that there was no possible way to express our love for the community in a mere 24 hours. Instead, we've created Deviants Appreciation Week, and what better time to host a week's worth of community-oriented events than in the days leading up to our birthdAy?

Each day this week, we have something special organized for you to participate in! Check out the schedule of events below to come party with us!

dA Staff Appreciation Week Interview Ayame-Kenoshi$Ayame-Kenoshi
:iconfireworkplz: :iconayame-kenoshi: :iconfireworkplz:
This interview was conducted as part of the deviantART Staff Appreciation Week by `TimberClipse, but he unfortunately is away and could not post it. Wish him well! :blowkiss:
What kind of art do you prefer and why?
I think I have a particular affinity for photography.  I love shots of nature especially. Show me a photo of an open field and a barn and I melt.  Though I must say, whenever I'm browsing through the Daily Deviations, I'm generally amazed by everything, regardless of the medium.
What is your favorite thing about the COMMUNITY on deviantART?
The community IS my favorite thing about deviantART. :giggle: I don't think I could just pick one thing about it.  I love how supportive it is.  There really is nothing like it.
What’s your greatest memory from your time as a staff member?
There's so many! One of my favorites
The Senior 'Stache | August 21st 2011On behalf of #dAseniors, `TickedOffTeam is the base of operations for :points: and News of Senior members, defined as those users who have a ` or a ° as their symbol on deviantART.
This is a news article, posted once every two weeks, choc-a-block full of Senior happenings and initiatives, stunning visual features, an awesome mini-interview and much, much more!
Even though this is mainly Senior orientated, if you have something you want to promote or are just looking for something generally, senior or not, we invite you all to take a gander.

Community Volunteers - A Memoir!You may recently have seen  -> Our Favourite Memories and Moments an awesome article written by $fourteenthstar bringing together lots of dA staff members memories and moments.
So The Community Volunteers got chatting and we decided we needed our own collection of memories - because we have some awesome ones!
With the merge of the Gallery Moderators and MN@ Volunteers has come the collaboration of one BIG team and it's lovely getting to know the 'other side' so to speak. So it's with great delight that I share our massive response to $fourteenthstar's article with Community Volunteers - Our Memories

:iconBurgerBunny:
I cannot pick a single memory, but I would say that whenever someone tells me that the DD I gave them made their day and that they are so happy makes me smile. That, and the time I saw `MyntKat's butt on webcam.
