And now ladies and gentledeviants, here is a little spiel from the person on this page. Ahem...

I've been on dA for four years so far and I am a person that is committed to obtaining the right information to the right people at the right place at the right time. I balance my dual master work with two jobs and the occasional blogging and writing WHILE saving room for submitting the occasional deviation or two.

I like taking photos, listening to music (chronic Ramones fan, as well as ZZ Top, AC/DC and other bands), illustrating on occasions, watching ESPN and CNN for inspiration, and discussing about sports, politics, and moe tournaments across every nation.

I have been following anime and manga since 1995. I have also been staffing at Anime Expo every 4th of July since 2006.

Given the popularity of my page (and I thank you for visiting, by the way), I do have some house rules. And these are all based on prior experiences. Not much to ask, other than FOLLOW IT. I get mean when you don't.

People have told me that I have uploaded too many shots of my desktop. While that is something I don't deny, I should let you all know that I have a little bit of something else on my page. The onus is on you to look and check it out. It's there. I guarantee it.

If you want any source to my deviations, you must send me a note. Not on comments, not on my guestbook, by NOTE. No exceptions. And I do this because I don't want to give away any bad links publicly. All based on experience. I'm still getting people not following this procedure, and it's quite a drag.

As per the rules, Bonga's shots will have the icons, some programs, and a little credit to who and what. I generally like to throw in a little song, so you can treat some of my shots like a songbook.

(This also includes any redirection to linkplz's account on dA in my comments. That user is also on my list of blocked users. So don't even try.)

In weeks gone by I received a comment from a deviant bashing an anime series. I've already sent that user a note (and per his response, he has been blocked). The comments section is not to be used as anime/manga discussion threads. We have forum threads dedicated to that. We have forums threads outside of dA dedicated to that. Don't bring them to my comment sections; you will be blocked without even a warning. I am tired of giving out warnings; please respect the wishes of this deviant.

I will be charging users for walls featured in Bongaboi's Moe World Tour and Hinata's Korea Mystery Tour. Prices:

1-10 walls = 20 points per wall
10-20 walls = 15 points per wall
21+ walls = 10 points per wall

If you want the walls without the moe...extra 10 points per wall. Shots you see on this page are free.

As always, use the Note feature, add your e-mail and the name of the deviation in question.

Again, IF YOU INSIST FOR A SOURCE VIA COMMENT I WILL BLOCK YOU IMMEDIATELY. Lately, due to the popularity of some of my submission, I have decided not to block deviants directly, opting to politely request that they follow this rule. But if you decide to make it tough on yourself, well, I'm afraid I got no choice.

And if you are going to post spam or any other disparaging remarks on my comments page (i.e. labeling me as an art thief, which is the worst insult you can hurl at me), don't even think about doing so. If you don't like it, it's not worth it to spew it out. It's a no-win situation.

tl;dr, here's a deal:
1. No sauce requests outside of notes,
2. No anime/manga series bashing,
3. No trolling/n00b-quality posts, and
4. Ask via note if you want to use my photos or journals; don't redistribute.

Break any of these rules on my page, and you are outta here. Deal? Good.

Now lately I have been inundated with thank-yous for llamas, favs, and watches. I will let you know that this is unnecessary. For me, I am not obligated to give you a llama, to fav your works, or to watch you. It's a thankless task that I do at my own discretion. So I do not need to be thanked for this. The fact you are getting exposure for your work and contributions is fine enough for me. You're welcome, or as I like to say, "All right."

Do not ask me for any points. Effective September 11, 2010, Bongaboi will not accept point requests. They will lead to an automatic block. I am not obligated to give points to anyone; it is of my own choosing. Please respect the wishes of this deviant.

I have also made this new rule: you are limited to five source requests per month. That's right, FIVE. That means: up to five links. Do not ask for batches or everything I have: it's not going to happen. This is not to discourage you from making requests; I have other obligations, and I would appreciate it if you follow this new regulation.

And with that little soapbox junket out of the way, have fun and enjoy my deviations. My name is Bongaboi, and this is my deviantART profile. Cheers, and thanks for supporting dA and your fellow deviants on this site.
