== History ==

* November 30, 2003 - SheezyArt is created by Channel Cat.
* Summer of 2005 - SheezyArt suffers intermittently blackouts due to server problems.{{cn}} This resulted in the site being $700.00 short on its server bills, which are usually paid by ad revenue; however, site members' donations helped to pay the bill.{{cn}}
* April 22, 2006 - Channel Cat announced that he would relinquish the site's ownership to [[administrator]]s Spencer and [[Thor (person)|Thor]].
* May 31, 2013 - SheezyArt's [[staff]] announces on their [[Facebook]] page that they were:
{{q|[temporarily] closed to the public, while we prepare [...] a completely new site design, logo & branding, as well as a freshly minted technology platform.{{cn}}}}
:User data was planned to be preserved through the transition.<br/>
* September 17, 2014 - SheezyArt's staff announces that SheezyArt 's hiatus will continue and that ownership would return to ChannelCat, with Spencer staying in the same [[staff|staff role]].<ref>[https://www.facebook.com/sheezyart/posts/546943832072781 ''This is IMPORTANT. Please read.''] post on SheezyArt's [[Facebook]] account. Retrieved December 1, 2014.</ref>
* November 7, 2015 - Spencer admits that:
{{Q|(I)n all probability, SA will not be able to return any time in the near future", due to a lack of access to the files and the staff's inability to personally restore or maintain the site.<ref>[https://www.facebook.com/sheezyart/posts/702575763176253 "TL;DR: Sad news. SA isn't going to return anytime soon."] post on SheezyArt's Facebook account, Retrieved November 7, 2015.</ref>}}
* April 2021 - SheezyArt is revived by former user Ry as '''Sheezy.Art'''. The site was now under new management by a former Sheezy user known as Ry.<ref>[Former og staff approved of the new site on discord: https://i.imgur.com/emf8peV.png, So much so you´ll see OLD SA staff even closed down Ambiance Gallery (The successor to SA) And started redirecting people to the rebooted SA. https://i.imgur.com/rhl8Sef.png. Retrieved Ry.</ref>
* January 3, 2022 - Ry announces that Sheezy.Art will be shut down as they were unable to keep up with the influx of new users and necessary continued maintenance of the site; the site's [[Patreon]] and [[W:Ko-fi|Ko-fi]] campaigns were already closed the previous day. The community moved to a [[Discord]] server.<ref name="Revival shutdown">"ry" (January 3, 2022). [https://sheezy.art/news/updates/2022-01-03/sheezy-art-is-shutting-down "Sheezy.Art is shutting down".] Sheezy.Art.</ref>
* February 1, 2022 - Sheezy.Art will enter read-only mode as it prepares to be shut down.<ref name="Revival shutdown"/>
* March 1, 2022 - Sheezy.Art shuts down.
* December 17, 2023 - Sheezy.Art is reopened by [[Ry]]!<ref>[https://sheezy.blog/ & https://twitter.com/Sheezy_Art/ ] post on [[X (social media)|X]]. Retrieved ?.</ref> with restricted sign-ups.

== Features and rules ==

SheezyArt's visual template is based on the same used at the [[DeviantArt]] art gallery, and as so, allows user commentary on [[artwork]], journals, and user pages. SheezyArt, like DeviantArt, offered a set [[forum]]s in which the community could gather.

Works containing explicitly [[adult]] material/subject matter were forbidden, but no longer are.

SheezyArt had a tolerance for harmless [[troll]]ing and, to some degree, encouraged.{{cn}} Argumentative and aggressive behavior was often seen and tolerated,{{cn}} but outright aggression and harassment is usually reprimanded.

== Mascot ==
[[File:Dante.png|right|180px|thumb|Former Sheezy mascot Dante]]
SheezyArt's OLD [[mascot]] was a [[raccoon]] named '''Dante''' (created by [[cosplayer]], [[prop/product designer]], and former staff member [[Vensy]]), until he was removed in March 2007 from the site. Channel Cat officially stated this was because "We felt he didn't represent the artists well."{{clarify}}{{cn}}

A SheezyArt club, '''''The Bring Back Dante Club :)''''', was created to preserve the memory of the former mascot.<ref>[http://clubs.sheezyart.com/Bring_Back_Dante/ ''The Bring Back Dante Club :)''] club on SheezyArt. Dated March 19, 2007. Retrieved ?.</ref>

SheezyArt's newest mascot]] is a [[jackalope]] named '''Sheemz'''.

== Controversy ==

In January 2005, SheezyArt banned all [[adult]] material content on its archive, deleting all media tagged as "adult", citing a new server host's policy restrictions on said content.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20050310172611/http://www.sheezyart.com/news/119/ ''Sheezy Art Status Update :)''] post on SheezyArt. Retrieved ?.</ref>

Many adult [[artist]]s{{who}} expressed disbelief at the administrators' explanation, believing the new policies to be unfair and unnecessary at best, a form of intentional persecution as worst,{{cn}} with some leaving the site altogether.

== SheezyArt and furry ==

In its original incarnation, SheezyArt all types of content, including mature media, which made it a popular archive for adult art artists, including those in the [[furry fandom]].

During the site's 2005 adult art ban, some of these [[furry artist]]s would migrate to such galleries as [[Fur Affinity]] and [[y!Gallery]], both of which were at the time [[furry]]-friendly and without content restrictions.
