where to go? by Grimmhelm

So with DA starting to get a stick up there backside and hitting a good few 'undesirable' artists (thats people like me btw).
It seems like a good idea to evaluate our options for future posting.

Hentai Foundry
Its a decent site except for one thing: the admins must pre-approve all uploaded work if one is been a little bitch then they wont let you upload due to 'quality control' and frankly that doesn't sit well with me since that can be open to interpretation.

FA (Furaffinity)
It does decently enough for me but as the name suggests its a furry site for the most part so my human/elf/etc girls get passed over almost all the time, there may also be a big push to remove adult content soon now that its been bought up by a corporation.

Weasyle
It is also another site but there still getting established and there also a furry site and has the same problem as FA.

Pixiv
The problem there is the whole sites japanese...and it keeps asking you to post up your likes and uploads to google+ which is just bad form when you have other work in the lineup (such as my family friendly kamen rider/super sentai podcast).

Pintrest
This one is potentially the biggest no go of the lot, they slam down hard on our kind of work since most of there stuff is reference and clean.

Tumbler
Good old tumbler there full of pretty much everything and there is no upload limit, however replying to comments is frankly a real hassle and the note system is so simplistic it makes things difficult.

Own blog/website?
This one has potential, however it has some massive downsides the first been no community on start up and very few comments to respond too, plus if your using anything but blogger Websites are kinda hard to make for someone technologically challenged.

I think thats more or less all the ones i know of...
Any you guys can add?

    I left DA basically after they changed their icon.

      That was proberbly a good idea, there starting to put a real squeeze on creators, just yesterday a popular pose reference account was closed for "potentially sexual content"

        Yeah, they've gone a bit... anal.

          hence the journal XD

            Yeah, I have just about resorted to following wherever my favourite artists go to. I think I have three-dozen accounts on (art) sites I forgot about over the years.

            Pixiv has also started to get worse with people starting to pixelize or otherwise censor adult parts. I heard say it's some new Japanese rule against spreading uncensored art beyond Japan's borders, but that was mostly an unsubstantiated rumour and I have not been able to verify it.
