Hey there everyone!

A little while ago I decided to open a separate account solely for stock images that have been collecting on my hard drives for the past several years.

For numerous reasons I didn't want to create a brand new account (yup, I admit I'm embarrassed of all those "new member" labels, especially seeing how I'm not a newbie in the least ) plus seeing how DA is carefully preserving all the deactivated and abandoned accounts, I decided to try and acquire one of those.

Just because it felt adventurous and I've never done anything like this before. So I've used the DA journal search engine (perhaps for the first time in its existence) and it even proved to be fairly useful - if you google "abandoned accounts" yourself you'd be surprised just how many of them there actually are (where the owners cared enough to leave a notice )

Among all the abandoned accounts that lead to their deactivated adherents I was immensely lucky to find this drakontes account that belonged to dracontes since the day of its creation, and there my luck kept growing - for the author responded to my plea and was displaying absolute kindness in helping me acquiring his old unused account.

To all dracontes' friends: guys, this account has now officially changed its owner, so please do go and watch dracontes instead!
_{If you somehow didn't do it in the past eight years}

Now to the purposes of this account:

>> Stock & Resources <<

that might be peppered with occasional photography.

This means:

Sporadical upload activity depending on the results of photohunts
Multiple uploads per day. Or none at all.
Rules of stock usage, commercial activities and other ventures are to be written in several days to come.
There will also be items using the premium content feature.

Here and now:

Username changing. For the first time in my life, I gotta say it, sincerely: Thank you, DA, for providing this option
Front page reorganization to further needs.
Joining the beta-testing program (and not only for the swag "=" sign, honestly )
Launching the uploading system

Thank you for reading!

Cheers, synesthesea
