I did some digging into their facebooks a few days ago and never found any connections to a sister but perhaps it's just impossible to find since a lot of stuff has been marked private. The closest thing I found was a pic of Enter's mom (Jennifer Rozanski) with Brandon and a girl and someone commented that Jennifer and the girl look alike. I think the wording was that she was like a "mini me" or something to that effect but I brushed it off as awkward phrasing.

In the comments, someone calls her Emily. So we just have to search for Emily Rozanski/Plourde
 
Here's as well as I can map out the family: Joe Rozanski is Enter's grandpa, Carol Bonafilia/Rozanski is grandma (divorced Joe?), Brian Plourde is dad, Jennifer Rozanski is mom, Joseph Rozanki is uncle, Amy Nash/Rozanski is aunt, Brandon Plourde is brother, Emily Plourde/Rozanski is sister, ??? is other sister. Jennifer is currently engaged to a Rob Paro Jr. And Enter appears to be cousins with a bunch of Rauhs.

I'm kinda sad Enter didn't use facebook much. The only funny stuff I could find was the prom pic, Enter bugging his bro about a flash drive, and Enter's bro being a perv in middle school.

According to the brother's Facebook there seem to be four siblings, two brothers and two sisters.

I dunno, it's probably more the result of Enter just not being a social animal. He created his account in 2010, made a couple posts and abandoned it until 2016 to shill his book to his family then promptly abandoned it again.

Don't use ZuckBook so I can't check, but did any of his family buy his book?

He should have tried giving copies of it to them for Christmas like Dobson did with all his unsold lesbian pirate adventures.

His early posts were so pseudo-intelectual they hurt, guess he was the same 8 years back

Literal fetish art. Either Enter's extremely naive or he's playing dumb, but I don't see how it couldn't be obvious to him.

Enter also talked about the dA redesign. Took me a while to find the post because of said redesign. So, he's not exactly wrong that it's shitty.

So, I've tried to give this whole Eclipse thing the benefit of the doubt. But uh... it's just not working out because it doesn't really... work. Apparently this thing existed for like... a year already. I don't know how because it's filled with basic design functionality flaws.


The most obvious issue in my mind is that organization has become a nightmare. Both finding things and placing things. I remember on DeviantArt... so long ago, where it was fairly easy to organize things. You scrolled down to a piece of artwork in your gallery or file, there was a drop down menu and you could put it in your file.


Here's how it works now:

  1. Scroll through your gallery or your favorites until you get to the image and realize that it would look good in a particular folder/file
  2. Scroll all the way back up
  3. Enable the editing mode
  4. Scroll all the way back down
  5. Finally you can place the artwork in its respective file.

Is tech design a field where you're supposed to make things more user-hostile, because no matter the website this seems to be the primary directive.


Tell me. Because I want to know. What was the justification for removing page numbers and having everything in one gigantic page? Because if you're looking through a folder with say... hundreds or even thousands of pieces of artwork. Say something like a stock image folder, you need to scroll down from the beginning each and every time you want to browse through it.


And you can't just scroll down from loading the page because it loads in chunks. And if you move too fast you'll go beyond the loading zone and scroll down to the comments. You'll have to scroll back up, wait patiently for it to load up the next chunk, and then so on.


Gallery folders has two modes. Instead of being all along the side, where you can see each and every individual folder, we've now got a painfully slow scroll where you can only see a set amount at once. Or alternatively the worst grid that I have ever fucking seen. It's two images per row. Did it not come up that you could have made the folder images/thumbnails like... four times smaller and actually have given this mode a use?


As is, it's useless. You can only have a maximum of four folders on screen at a time. Why aren't folders showcased like subfolders?


Da1


Do you notice how... you can actually see things? Maybe that's a flaw. From what I could tell, Eclipse was about hiding things. After all, why else would you want to hide the fact that folders have sub-folders. There's no way of telling whether or not a folder has sub-folders unless you click on them. It's fine if you want every single page to be a maze I guess.


Yeah, every page has a search function. But I mean... I can also google for specific things. Rule number 1 in web design - if it's easier to manually search for something, whether it's using google or an on-sight search bar, you have failed at designing a website. Like I don't know if I've said this before, but I actually use Google to get to my livestreaming hub because YouTube's studio is that broken and unnavigable. And it seems DeviantArt has followed their lead.


You want more? The watch button is glitchy. Every so often it'll show me that blue dot showing someone has uploaded something when no one has.Eclipse was first unveiled in November of 2018 by the way. This is one of the most basic things that could have been fixed. Or alternatively, you could have delayed forcing everyone to use such a system until you fixed the most basic of bugs.


Even writing a journal on DA has taken a notable downgrade. Before, the screen more or less remained centered as you typed. Now the screen only pushes down when you're near the bottom of the screen. So, I hope you like typing everything just above the task bar.


Like, the problems with Eclipse came before Eclipse was even enacted. The "enable Eclipse button" was placed in such a location where I often clicked by accident as I was trying to navigate the website and see my messages.


The excuse that the powers that be gave is that DeviantArt's old version was strung together with decades of code and it was hard to make updates or something of the like. It's really really sad that this new version is worse and less functional than decades old code. And quite honestly, making it difficult to update and change a website's design is looking more and more like a perk by the day.


The default layout is a mess. Yes, really, the spotlight image should be at the very bottom of the screen by default. You know, the last place people are to look. While my "spotlight gallery" i.e. whatever the latest thing I've made is. No wait, the latest things. Because we need each individual part to take up as much space as humanly possible. It was the same with journals. I only ever want one journal on the front page.


This wouldn't be so bad if they... you know actually fixed the things that were broken. It's still only possible to block 500 people. Also by the way, if you unblock someone you can't reblock them for 48 hours. I can't imagine that being abused. I mean, I guess if a troll were to trick someone with a heart to unblock them, they could then wreak havoc with impunity for two fucking days.


I'm not even going to talk about some of the other controversies, like ripping off the design from another website; or giving paid features to non-paying users. I have to decide whether it's worth it to stay around here or look for another art website.


Yeah, I get it. "People always complain whenever a website updates." Maybe they won't if tech updates weren't broken more often than not. Twitter changing timelines to be based on popularity, rather than chronology, creating a vicious cycle of selective popularity; YouTube forcing on Google+ completely breaking their comment section; or DeviantArt forcing Eclipse on its users, destroying basic navigation on the website.


I don't want to hear about how you're adapting things for a mobile audience. Make a separate version for mobile. What works on mobile does not work on actual desktops.


I don't want to hear how updates are needed to stay relevant. Sure, that's an excuse to update. It's not an excuse to make bad updates.


I don't want to hear about how the old code/design was bad or buggy until this one isn't.
