Literally a dead group, Even I am "hitlisted" here for editing and posting demotivational posters.
What the commenter said below is right all along.

Dead page people, nobody is managing this page anymore as they say in their journal entry (Second from top entitled "Stepping down"). Last post was also in 2014.

It maybe better to look for another Art Thief reporting page?

Just a heads up as don't want you guys wasting your time reporting to a dead page with nobody at the helm.

If you're a fan of Yu-Gi-Oh!, I highly recommend watching out for this user: www.deviantart.com/nathanlapid.

This one is a bit of a strange case, as I'm not sure if he's a bot or an actual user who just has bizarre habits. He will favor a random YGO drawing of yours 16 times across multiple folders, and all of his folders have no chemistry to them. They're just variations of his user name.

The author has a portfolio. Try to get in touch with Mikael Gustafsson and tell him to file a DMCA report. This asshole hid my comment when I pointed out blatant stealing.
