As in case of [[YouTube]] and [[Chris and Wikipedia|Wikipedia]], Chris really doesn't understand the point of the website; deviantART doesn't call itself an "art community" for no reason. Chris only used deviantART to post his works, and fan art (without attribution); deviantART ''would'' have made it relatively painless to truly interact with his "fans". Chris, however, thinks that "interaction" means ''he'' posts his original and true creations and ''others'' stay put. In other words, he thinks deviantART is a place to dump images in, and the whole "community" aspect is just too grandiose to comprehend.

This account will mainly be used to get in touch with choice Fan Artists.
Cwcipedia journal, on why the comments are disabled in all of Chris's pictures

deviantART is a large online art community where artists can host their artwork, and receive comments and critique from fellow artists and art appreciators.

Chris has sporadically been a member of deviantART, under these accounts:

  • SonichuSite - banned for a kinda nebulously defined failure (banned for posting blatant pornography from Sonichu 7).
  • Cwcipedia - built up some time before CWCipedia's downtime. Likely to be banned due to ban evasion once dA staff gets around to do it - not that it matters, because Chris is likely to abandon it, now that CWCipedia is back up. Banned in 28 August 2009 for ban evasion. Rosechu's washing machine pic from Episode 20 may be a factor in this, as it was actually deleted before he was banned completely.

As in case of YouTube and Wikipedia, Chris really doesn't understand the point of the website; deviantART doesn't call itself an "art community" for no reason. Chris only used deviantART to post his works, and fan art (without attribution); deviantART would have made it relatively painless to truly interact with his "fans". Chris, however, thinks that "interaction" means he posts his original and true creations and others stay put. In other words, he thinks deviantART is a place to dump images in, and the whole "community" aspect is just too grandiose to comprehend.

One of the big strengths of deviantART is that people can comment on the pictures, and allowing comments to be posted is one of the unwritten common-sense rules of the site. Having comments disabled or seeing a bunch of "Hidden by owner" entries is often a sign of an artist with community relations issues (read: "soon to be featured in Dramapedia"). Chris systematically disabled comments in all of his submissions, possibly because he knows that nothing good could come out of it, but also possibly because this is his idea of keeping in touch with his fans.

CWCipedia states that Chris may or may not create another account. Be sure to tip off the dA admins if he will return.
