Your layout was almost excatly the way it is when first I joined Deviantart back in October 2007. Those bring back memories and I loved the site it used to be. I closed my DA account last month because of many issues. :(
i used to use deviantart literally everyday, so i definitely relate. my all time fav feature was their chatrooms, which is where i met a ton of my earliest best friends. im glad u like my layout!! if ud like to sample anything from it u can feel free!! :)) i pulled the main code from the wayback machine and largely customized it based off my own preferences. if u have any questions im more than happy to help!!
