Account red flags:
- As stated by inactive-list
"Accounts with no activity for >52 weeks are considered INACTIVE.
Accounts with no activity for >104 weeks are considered DEAD."
- Lack of activity can be checked here: me.deviantart.com/activity/
- You can also hover over "Deviant for # years" to see their last visit
- Last journal/comment is old

Group red flags:
- No icon
- Very few watchers/pageviews
- Deactivated founder
- No response to comments like "Is this group still active?", "My submission expired...", or any question
- Last comment made was AGES ago
- Group was founded years ago, a lot of old groups die
- Last journal was posted AGES ago or by someone deactivated
- Lack of content on page

- It is very rare (in my experience) to find an account/group that seems dead, but isn't. You can leave a comment just incase, but do not get your hopes up.

- inactive-list collects a list of dead deviants which is pretty cool.

- Let me know if there's anything I should change/add!

I've been on DA for 6 years now and due to being in and out for a good half portion of those years I'm not just figuring out how badly this site has been managed. Specially with the lack of traction to other creatives works makes me feel very uneasy about the productivity being done here ? Just returned and have been active for 2 months with a few uploads, but still.no.one.seems.to.notice.that.I'm still ALIVE ?!?!


Help ? Please send help ?!?
