Important News! Future of Group in relation to DeviantArt. New Things, too!
Posted 1 year ago :: Last edited 1 year ago by IIIXKitsuneXIIIHello everybody, Admin Kitsu here, with... some things to talk about.
As I'm sure many have noticed, our activity on Deviant Art itself has dropped to almost zero. Those outside the discord have probably not seen much from us either which we apologize for. We might have a bit of a record of forgetting news updates, but we're hoping to have a monthly one during roll-over from here forward, at least to update things like the Monthly Bounty, announce Wanderer Slot winners and group events and such.
Thing is that that's been made all but impossible on DeviantArt. All news has resultingly been confined to ketucari.com and the discord server. And... honestly, that's not likely to change. We are moving away from DeviantArt as much as humanly possible.
All future events and news will be Here, on Ketucari.com
Why? Well, the short version is that DeviantArt has made itself hostile to the artists it claims to support and protect. We have documented evidence that they have been dishonest about DreamUp. They continue to ignore Groups, make DeviantArt as unfriendly to its users as it can be, and generally make life unpleasant for everyone on dA. Things like Sta.sh comments not giving notifications anymore, the deletion of notifications more than a year old which makes it hard to hold onto genos and breeding slot proofs, us not really having a way to notify users on dA about anything because we can't post journals FROM the group anymore.
So. We're slowly trying to move the entire group to ketucari.com.
All the future news updates? They're going to be here. If you aren't regularly checking ketucari.com for news we highly highly recommend that you start, because our dA news updates will be tapering off.
Events are fully ported to the site. All activities and events are here now, we have our own gallery, even!
The Orphanage is halfway ported. We have frameworks in place for a number of other features.
We're still in discussing how to port things like Packs and the Pack Hoard. We're making progress on that with Raptor's help.
So it's a long, slow, and very work intensive project, and things are frankly going to suck in the interim. We're currently split between two sites and as a result, one site flourishes while the other's kinda been left behind.
Which we Do apologize for. It's unfair that we've neglected the DeviantArt users, and we will try to do better when and where we can. But also, if you haven't moved to ketucari.com yet... you're going to need to to continue playing ketucari. We're sorry. It sucks, we know.
And in the meantime: It's really really difficult to put ketucari news on deviantart. Groups can't post journals anymore because you know, why would a group need a central location to update its members? Not everyone follows matriarchs-haunt so we can't just put news there, dA made navigating your notification feed a crapshoot based on how it's set up and if you're on mobile or not and frankly we've been at a loss on it for over a year.
However, more presently and in much happier news!

We do hope to be better about making news updates from here on out, we promise we're not dead.
Thank you for your time and patience!

I am just returning to the group and this pleases me. I have a few other groups who have their own site and it makes finding everything so much easier so I am looking forward to future updates.
