Hey! Welcome to my profile. Call me Lynk. I am a fan of the MOTHER/Earthbound, Zelda, and Splatoon series (and a handful of other media), a plethora of bands and musicians, those that stand out from the normal, and making people laugh. I love music, as well as the written and visual arts, and take interest in behavioral science, political science and law. Currently in Uni for my BA in Psychology.
I started out my drawing hobby at Flipnote Hatena (as Toon Lynk/Lynk0fWind), and I still carry on several amazing friends, whose art you should check out, and some great memories and tacky habits that I incorporate into my experience here at dA.
So, if you ever have any questions or want to talk, hit me up. Thanks! 🌇
(2024 update:)I have extensive medical issues, attend university, and work (technically 3 jobs) while living on my own so I apologize for not being as active. DA Mobile is essentially unusable (no group stuff, no notifs, huge glitches, etc), so I can't check on the go either. 😔

(because if I can help anyone find good new music, why not?)

Sorry to bother you.
But your Link-club is been hacked.
Hey, your group Link-club has just been hijacked by two group vandals who joined as co-founders, deleted all the artwork and replaced it with gore, scat and porn. Please take care of it immediately and set your group admin permissions to "Subject to Vote" or "Are Not Allowed". Warn others to do so as well.
Hey, thanks for letting me know. I don’t know how tf he managed to do that because the group is locked, no one is able to join admins; I was a contributor beforehand for over 7 years, and not even I was able to send a request to be a co founder, other co founders couldn’t add anyone, even. The old founder had to manually remove herself from founder role and ask the system to officially transfer it to me. Because I’d been in it for so long I knew all the settings. Everything was locked to require a vote, admin team requests were off, and I left it that way.. I have a screenshot proving there was no notification for who Invited him, how, or even when his first account got into an admin position. But, other than admin notifications, everything is gone. You can’t even delete logs, but, somehow, they’re all gone. You’ve said he’s been going around and doing this, do you have any idea how this is even possible? Even if it were some punishment from dA it doesn’t make sense that the logs of all submissions and general members join requests were able to be edited, let alone removed. It’s literally not possible, it’s never been possible. I still don’t understand why you are the only one doing anything and dA staff has been reported for the exact same person in multiple different groups and all they do is send us a note saying a drawing in the group violates TOS. This should be their problem.
I’m sure I sound like any other idiot, but really. I’ve been an admin for so long. One group I helped run was over 175,000 members (on Facebook, though). DA is the only site where the permissions have been changed to without my approval. I remember when Eclipse came a ton of shit got reset. Just ask Yog, the contributor in LegendofZeldaNerds. I’ve had to redo her permissions 7 separate times. It’s fucking ridiculous.
He's back now, under the username MysticalBlueberry. Please warn your other groups about him immediately.
UPDATE: The accounts have been deactivated and the nasty stuff has been cleaned out, but all the artwork is gone and the faves section still has Hitler photos. Also, join requests have been completely closed.
Damn I left due to the hacker there no way to get back is there!
I know, unless he changes the settings back. If he doesn't, you'd best move to another group. Tell the admins to set their group admin permissions to "Subject to Vote" or "Are Not Allowed" to avoid any more situations of this happening.
You can also watch or join the NoMoreHackers group for updates on the situation.
