as if the avs situation in general, and especially on deviantart, wasn't bad enough - it is now longer allowed to upload installers as it's been a standard for over 10 years.

i do understand the general security concerns over hosting executable files, but at the same time deviantart staff showed little interest to support available alternatives. for avs and milkdrop, the alternative are .pimp files, basically 7-zip files that can be interpreted as installers. unfortunately, deviantart's backend automatically renames those files to .7z and thus all the functionality from those files is being removed (unless you're aware you can simply rename the file back to .pimp)

unfortunately, the is little we can do. since the scene has been shrinking over the years, i don't see how we could find enough backers in a petition (or anything like that.) still, you could try and spread the word about this by sharing the thumbnail in a journal entry. simply copy the thumbnail code on the left, and if you like add this text to it. there's also a forum discussion that you can take part in!

Long time user, first time AVS poster here...if you want to revive the scene, start making clips from the better AVS presets over the years into music video backgrounds for new artists ...they look AMAZING as bluescreen backgrounds. I'm still working on presets of my own but the real heroes of the scene, people like Zamus, Tuggumi, Duo, Nixa, Skupers, Frames of Reality, yourself...your work should be seen by millions. Imagine if clips and captures could be offered to networks like VH1 or MTV...?

Hope the scene doesn't die forever!

From the recent Site Update: "Submissions to the Visualizations Gallery misidentified the .pimp filetype as .7z. Fixed by $ZombieCoder"

That's good news, right?

Hi there,

I've been made aware of this issue and am working with DT to come up with a solution. I'll keep the community informed.

Thank you,
Danie
