So I was browsing my old favs, and I found, to my utter dismay, that many have been "stored" or essentially deleted as members leave. I understand that many of these users have been on dA for a long time and are just moving on with life, but why would they take down such wonderful art? I don't fav things often, trust me, and it's very painful to look through my favorites and think that something that has faded from my memory completely is now forever gone. And it's always the insane and godly artists that grace us dA regulars with their amazing art that eventually take it down. There's not much I can do, because it's up to the artists themselves, but I just want to put out that it's not just a pain to remove deleted favs, it really hurts to lost that art.
