Losing interest on FurAffinity by Wretneck

I know I made probably 100's of these kinds of posts, but I am at the peak of my patience lately with a lot of things; and Furaffinity has nearly reached theirs

given the hindrance of having FA with its site lock down and locking me out of making any updates, changes or posts, especially due to what I am informed as mediocrity of the admins never updating their codes, I cannot trust FA to be a source for my work or art anymore.

Don't think I will be closing my account just yet, but I am far at the point where I am handling too many social and gallery sites that I need to be relieved of some of them; and it doesn't help being on a site that still tolerates tasteless art on here, whether be commissioned or an artist's desire... basically I am very unimpressed with FA! And it doesn't help me when peers and associates discover I have an account here and ask me, "why are you on a furry porn site?"; not disgusted by furries, but rather the dedicated porn agenda. Not like I will be posting any porn here anyway

point is, I might need to take a break, or give up uploading my art to FA. I have met so many amazing people there and made so many connections and clients with FA alone, but I have lost focus on my desire to work for an animation career; and this time I hope to get out of Utah and move to where the animation jobs are at- whether it be Burbank, Vancouver, Portland, I'll even move to Ireland or France for animation work. Though for now I am limited to making art that pays, art that sells and taking personal classes to improve my work flow and art performance.

I still will try to go to FA and post commissions, updates regarding commissions and such once in a while, but I need to limit my thinking space to but a few sites for work and art uploads. I'll more casually and regularly be posting stuff at these links

Updates and Art
Facebook Page
Twitter (trying to post less rants and irrelevant things... harder than one would think)
My Art Blog- wretneckblog.tumblr.com (where I will post thoughts, opinions, and share other people's art and tutorials along with my own

Art Focus
My Weasyl account here will stay
My Art Tumblr- wretneck.tumblr.com (hoping to one day turn into my official website)
Instagram (I even post process doodles, sketches and works in progress here)

[update] Further note: I am deleting my Furry Network profile, was informed on a disturbing detail regarding the mind of an administrator there resulting with the whole site's mindset... I do not tolerate any form of non-consenting sex/porn. And if you are a person who defends it or at worst advocates it, then you are not someone I want to associate with... which is why I like this site

Also I have a wordpress page- https://wretneck.wordpress.com/

PS: if this journal just randomly gets flagged or deleted on FA, I am officially closing down my account there, because it's the same kind of crap I took issue with when I started using that site- the admin pettiness

    Hey, one less person giving support to FA is a welcome one. Their admins need to realize their actions have consequences. They've got away with some ridiculous shit in the past, but people keep crawling back because that's where everybody is at. If people would just stick to their guns and stick around literally anywhere else, some healthy competition would force the communities to get their shit together.

    i hate fa
    i hate how stubbornly most of the people just stay in that stagnant puddle of gross because everyone else is staying, like, geez, how oblivious do you have to be....?
    im so frustrated by this UGH

    hey can i get a source on that furry network thing? I've been considering joining but this sounds like sth that'd influence my decision a lot

      some of the links I had sourced on other posts are now broken, and all I still have is this tweet where they outright stated on twitter that they allowed cub porn- https://twitter.com/FurryNetwork/status/735415464625643524

      More insulting that they even claim that cub porn is "legal, in which in many countries depiction of cartoon and comic children is acknowledged as child pornography; same that if someone draws or commissions someone's character, avatar, persona, and/or a drawing of them getting sexually assaulted by artist/commissioning client, it's held as sexual/rape threat

      and it seems as these situations are coming to light, many admins are now trying to cover their tracks as most of the links that were provided here no longer work-

        correction- "cartoon and comic children being placed in sexual conduct, even getting touched in places"... God, this world scares me every day
