Yep... I'm doing this too..

A big part of why I stayed on DeviantART is because of the creativity and freedom we had to customize our pages and such in so many different ways. Eclipse is taking that away and is also making the core membership pretty much obsolete, apart from a small discount on prints and other mediocre features like these:

This makes core a total waste of money in my book.

I think a lot of us enjoyed DeviantART for its unique personality and culture, which, Eclipse is basically ripping away to go 100% business mode.
Not everything has to be business. Some things are better left untouched.
Eclipse would be a lot better if they'd leave their old features the way they were or at least didn't remove the button to go back to the old site. At least give us a choice.

Regardless, I don't think I'll leave DA all together cuz there's still lots of artists I like that are staying here and I wanna keep up with them, but I'll likely not really post anymore. I'm not sure where I'll move yet to post my art mainly. If you'd like to keep up with me, comment on this post to be pinged or noted when I settle on a new main site.

So, to make a statement, I won't be active whatsoever on DeviantART from May 1st - 3rd

The Sound Of Silence - DA StatementSo Eclipse is Coming
I'd like to organize a proactive event to show DA the possible results of a permanent Eclipse change-over. Instead of deactivating your accounts for good, or indefinitely boycotting the site, I'd like to make a Statement of Silence for those Users against Eclipse. Starting May 1st, I will not be active on Deviantart. I will not submit new deviations, journals or even visit the site for 3 Days time. From 12:00AM CST May 1st to 12:00am May 4th. (3 days) I ask all other Users who wish to keep old Deviantart to join me in this statement of silence.
Perhaps the abrupt halt and slow down of site traffic will show DA team members the devastating effects this could have on their audiences they cater to. They have failed to listen when we speak out... perhaps they will listen to The Sound Of Silence.
