It is not only two words. It's also at least more than two words you say.

[=deviantART=] was [[FollowTheLeader loosely inspired by projects like Winamp facelift, customize.org, deskmod.com, screenphuck.com, and skinz.org]], all application skin-based websites. Sotira entrusted all public aspects of the project to Scott Jarkoff as an engineer and visionary to launch the early program. All three co-founders shared backgrounds in the application skinning community, but it was Matt Stephens whose major contribution to [=deviantART=] was the suggestion to take the concept further than skinning and more toward an "art community." Many of the individuals involved with the initial development and promotion of [=DeviantART=] still hold positions with the project, from administrators to volunteers serving as gallery directors and Message Network Administration. Angelo Sotira currently serves as the CEO of [=DeviantART=], Inc.

[=DeviantART=] has a reputation for deleting artwork that they find to be risqué or outright pornographic, a great {{irony}} [[ArtifactTitle considering the site's name]] ([[GettingCrapPastTheRadar and the fact that a good-sized portion of the artwork that doesn't get deleted is still pretty risqué]]) and the [[ItsNotPornItsArt "Artistic Nude"]] category. Not too unrelatedly it also has a reputation for being populated by {{furr|yFandom}}ies, [[SmallNameBigEgo oversized egos]], and [[SturgeonsLaw bad fanart]]. There's even a game about making a search with only two words and trying not to find {{catgirl}}s, {{Sonic|TheHedgehog}} or furries. All in good fun of course.

[=DeviantART=] also has a reputation for how many people think there should be a "Quality Control", however, because "Quality" is ''extremely'' subjective, a lot of peoples' "Quality Control" wouldn't be to remove poorly drawn work from the site, but to remove entire ''genres'' of art that the people don't like from the site in general. It's also known for blocking criticism from some art, meaning you can be banned for criticising the art. However, this was also put in place due to the amount of people who didn't seem to realize that constructive criticism has to be constructive and were flat-out insulting the artists personally or mocking the work. However, it extended to people who don't want to hear criticism at all; constructive or no, but you do hear people who want critique on the site and specifically request it.

Other communities that offer a similar focus include {{Pixiv}}, which is essentially a Japanese counterpart of [=DeviantART=] and tends to have less censorship regarding suggestive themes and is limited to just drawings and literature, so sorry, photography fans. ConceptArtDotOrg is for people who actually make a living drawing all day and will eat you alive if you're not prepared to take criticism (the real kind). Elfwood is an older fantasy art gallery that [=DeviantART=] may have been later inspired by, and had its own share of backdoors drama in its heyday. Cghub.com is a site purely for professional artists, but you sacrifice effective censorship of suggestive pictures in exchange for a massive amount of truly talented work.

Originally read "Cghub.org," which is a Compulsive Gamblers website; I don't know how to link out to the correct address (www.cghub.com) yet...
