It's not my imagination. DA subscriptions have gone up 60% in a year, plus they've instituted CC rebilling by default.
Gouging f***s.

DA is broken
Why are my images showing as broken? The full-size of 'Sakura in Oils' is missing, along with a bunch of others.
So, I'm paying substantially more for an art hosting infrastructure that now randomly loses images. WTF, DA?
Where the hell have you been?
To my various correspondents, I apologise for my unexpected absence. I've been very stressed, and (to varying degrees) not very well over the past few months, with repeated hospital appointments for various sorts of scans and tests on my heart and kidneys. Right now as I type this I'm hooked up to an ambulatory heart monitor, but I should be getting rid of that tomorrow. The whole thing has been a great source of anxiety, and the last thing on my mind has been art, and the creation and commissioning thereof.
I am now (hopefully) back, and I will endeavour to work through my backlog of notes and comments over the next few days.
Commission Artists
UPDATE 05/08/14: Moving this from a block to a journal to help tidy the page layout. Updates in progress.
Artists I haven't commissioned yet but am seriously looking at, because they offer great quality at affordable prices. Feel free to recommend other artists in comments :)

Adoptables. Why?
I have a confession to make: I don't "get" adoptables.
I just don't understand the current overwhelming obsession with them.
I mean, I can understand the appeal for artists -- you draw what you like, and you get paid for it.
I just don't see the appeal for the buyer. You've spent your money and you now "own" a character that the artist has designed. Yay! An image that you had no creative input into. Boo! A digital image that a couple hundred other people have also downloaded. Boo! Good luck asserting any IP rights to it.
You get the warm glow of knowing you're supporting the artist, I suppose, but personally I'd rather donate, support a P
