* NoExportForYou: In its nineteen years of existence, [=DeviantArt=] has never been translated into any other languages other than English, forcing foreign users who aren't very good at said language to use Google Translate.

However, either because of people found the pranks [[DudeNotFunny unfunny or even offensive for some]], while others [[PoesLaw completely took it for face value and thought that the 'update' was completely legitimate]],[[note]]One of the most notable instances was April Fool's Day 2008, where everyone's avatars were temporarily changed to the same animated "[[MemeticMutation so i herd u liek]] [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Mudkipz]]" [[https://bulbanews.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:4-1-08_deviantART.png avatar,]] which prompted such a huge backlash that DA prematurely ended the joke well before the day was over in U.S.[[/note]] DA has more or less relegated April Fool's Day to a glorified drawing contest involving some form of [[MemeticMutation internet meme]].
