I have taken them off the list - their site is not on Drupal anymore. It's probably time for me to take a look at all of these sites, as I put this together quite a while ago. 2+ years.

Oh nice! So was there a point in time when DA was powered by Drupal?

Thats interesting to know because I'm using drupal to setup an art community thats very similar to DeviantArt. The unfortunate thing is it seems DA is slowly but surely turning into some kind of amature porn site. ;) No matter what you type in as the search term its bound to bring up a chick exposing herself. (I'm not saying thats bad. lol!) The fact is, its an art site, dedicated to artists.

I'm a Wordpress fan, but lately I've been playing around with Drupal and all I can say is, "It rocks!" I can't compare Wordpress and Drupal because they're too completely different tools. Wordpress - Blogging, Drupal - CMS Framework.
I must say that Drupal has one steep learning curve! But hey, a person has to start somewhere.

Do you know of any decent modules (for Drupal) that allow a user to submit an image, and this will be displayed publicly. The images can also be categorised eg. "Digital Art, 3D Art" or would this work with Tags...?

Shot for the cool site.
