Backing Up dA?

wth is starcraft

So I know a few websites I use have backup/download options so that you can save information before you either mass delete stuff or delete your account (such as Facebook, for example). I was wondering if deviant art had a way to do this too? I want to take down my old submissions before I delete the account, and while I wouldn't mind doing it all manually I'd love it if there's an easier way.

Welcome to wonderful world of web scraping.

Or you could try using iMacros or something.



None.

Right click -> download your images? Unless you have some ungodly number...



Show them your butt, and when you do, slap it so it creates a sound akin to a chorus of screaming spider monkeys flogging a chime with cacti. Only then can you find your destiny at the tip of the shaft.

Put your Deviations into storage. Forgot how to do it, and the UI changed a ton in the last ~1.5 years anyway.

EDIT: You can delete accounts? I thought you could only ask for them to be banned, or just abandon them.



None.

Its not so much images, its more like pages and pages of angsty poetry and poorly written prose. But I have a nostalgic desire to hold onto it! XD

Deviations into storage? I'll see if I can find that.

You can now select an option where dA deletes all of your work and you can't access any website content. But there's no option to back it up in that area. But I'll see if I can find that storage thing.

Everything I write is always angsty. Why do you want to hide your inner self?

I could trade you some of my angsty writing for yours :awesome: And trust me I've got lots!

Because I'm not angsty anymore. :P Well, I guess I am in different ways.

Probably still doesn't compare to mine. Combined.

At the very least not quantitatively, though most of your writing (that I've read, anyway) doesn't seem HORRIBLY angsty.

Storage is perfect for what I'm looking for. I stored about 150 submissions and I kept up some of my not quite as angsty pieces. And I took out the stuff that one day will make me rich :awesome: I'm still trying to decide if I want to open a new account or just post to that one.

here's my name, btw:

danoodlebox.deviantart.com

have a blast judging me and so forth.

Do you watch my dA or TL blogs?

Kame> I added you.

I read your TL posts often. Yeah I didn't even think of those I guess. Whatever, angst all around!
