I have reuploaded all my deleted artwork, plus uploaded a couple of new things such as my Win7 setup, and Phone setup.

So bad news everyone. Some retard named "realitysquared," decided to delete almost all my deviants for no reason. He is part of "CEA Assistance," on Deviantart. Here is all this moron's information. (After you read most of this, you will get a good idea that there is a good chance I might be banned soon.)

This is how it started.
A week or two ago, I received a copyright notice for 2 of my deviants. These 2 deviants were anime Demotivational Posters, which I created by my self and using screen shots from their respective shows (One piece, and Nurarihyon no Mago). I have never claimed I "CREATED" the content from the shows, it's pretty damn obvious where they came from, especially when I clearly mentioned it in the post. (MIND YOU, THAT THESE POSTERS WERE OUT FOR NEARLY A YEAR ALREADY, JUST LIKE ALL MY OTHER ART PIECES.) Here are the deviants I am talking about.
Nurarihyon no Mago -
i50.tinypic.com/2mfmzyx.jpgOne Piece -
i48.tinypic.com/2keseq.jpgThis guy didn't listen to any of it, and I later mentioned most of the site consists of artwork ranging from banners (headers), signatures, large art pieces, and avatars which ALL USE RENDERS (transparent characters ranging from movies, tv shows, anime etc). These renders, are often spread across the internet a million times, (in most cases, almost untraceable back to the owner who rendered the image.) In my case, I have never claimed I have made the renders (renders or the image itself) unless I really did. Well guess what? This dumbshit didn't understand anything I said, ESPECIALLY ABOUT NOT TAKING OWNERSHIP OF THE CONTENT, thus responding with this "Difficulty in obtaining permission is not a factor..."
So after, not only proving him wrong but also offering to provide examples of my statements (artpieces/creators of the artpieces/their channels), he apparently got pissed and deleted most of my artwork.
Imagine this, ANYONE IN DEVIANTART, who has used a render/image to create a new piece of artwork regardless of ownership claims, can have their artwork marked as illigal. Strange part is, EVERYONE on deviantart has done this, but apparently I got marked by this moron. Every group on deviantart which hosts renders, and images MAINLY FROM THIRD PARTY CONTRIBUTORS, are just fine, but not me.
It doesn't really matter to me as I have not been in the GFX scene for a little while, due to college work, only one that is going to be affected by this is deviantart themselves, as my artwork brought tons of views to the site. So Mr.Sowers, here is my message to you, GET A BRAIN AND A PAIR OF EYES, AND ACTUALLY GO THROUGH YOUR FUCKING SITE.
SO ALL MY FRIENDS AND WATCHERS, I WILL BE EITHER MAKING A NEW ACCOUNT ON DEVIANTART OR MOVING ONTO A MORE RELIABLE SITE, WITH LESS RETARDS IN CHARGE. YOU ALL WILL BE EMAILED WITH NEW INFORMATION.
