Personally, I don't see why DA feels the need to 1) fix something that's not broken and 2) fix it in such a way that it does become broken. Also several artists have threatened to leave DA if the classic version is scrapped. If you want to keep it, sign the petition here:
i also found out that my previous works had been removed from this group, the crossover ones. probably this group doesn't accept one. and when i submit, most of them are getting expired :/
Hmm... that's weird. I haven't had a lot of submissions from this group come by me of late. I'm not really sure why your work would be removed unless it had nothing to do with Queen's Blade. I didn't remove it.
