Is anybody here still active? by SpartaDog

I've been battling with myself over whether or not to keep this gallery active.

I loved this site a lot, and I wish it took off more than it did. I have maybe 3 or so dedicated fav/commenters here (and holy shit I appreciate all of you, that is some dedication), but I'm not really....getting anything out of it. I haven't for a while, really, but I kept it going mostly because with Waxpost it was literally 2 clicks to crosspost art from FA so I wasn't really losing anything either. But now Waxpost doesn't work on FA beta, so it takes a lot longer to post art here, for little to no return.

I am admittedly curious about the marketplace. It could be a feature that draws in business, but that would require people actually know about it, which would require people actually using the site...so I'm trying not to get my hopes too high. I guess I'll see where it goes and decide from there.

Is anybody here still active?

    I try to be active as I can, with this site being my main alongside Tumblr. I've always been more the lurker type, though - browsing as much as I can, fav'ing and forgetting.

    I figure the more active us present users can be, the longer the site as a whole will remain active. Right?

    Still got my vitals on here, and golly gosh I'm singing the same way you feel on all of this. When every I get a comment I jump for joy on this contact starved site, I'm hoping to jump start it all with posting my animations on my page when I can finish everything. But I love this site too much to let the lack of usage on it throw me down.

    I thought the marketplace was a bit silly, its sounds like a simple good idea but I'm so used to knowing people to hire and buy from on these sites that looking for new creators is kind of silly in all.

    PS, digging your tags, ramble to your hears desire cool kid.

    YES! Even if I have not done a lot this year (nothing finished), I am still very active here!! Please keep posting!

  • Link

    This is my only site (besides Toyhou.se for character compiling), so I am on it every single day. I'm a loser. XD

  • Link

    Though I don't post artwork as much as I'd like (i.e. ever) anymore. I do keep up with people mostly here. Though in some cases where people have chosen to leave I'll try to follow their tumblr pages or literally anywhere other than FA.

    Maybe you could cut down on the particular content that you upload? Only uploading one out of five or ten of your pieces to keep the place active, but not so much as it's taking up more extra time than you'd like to commit.

    o/ I'm still here.

  • Link

    eh still here though its basically a mirror of my FA which isn't much of a big deal since I've barely drawn anything. I can only say here I actually have one person that tries their best to comment on the work they fave while i'm still rocking the no fav/no comments on FA XD I get more love on DA than these two sites.

  • Link

    I've been trying to be more and more active on here. I'm still relatively new to weasyl, I mainly run off tumblr, but I agree with what you're saying. (Though I have a much larger follower base on tumblr than here, but people know tumblr more than they know weasyl).

  • Link

    I use this and Tumblr first, to avoid giving FA traffic.

  • Link

    I check my watch list, but that's mostly it!

  • Link

    I only use this and deviant art and this is my primary site :)

  • Link

    I still post and comment here and there.

  • Link

    I keep up with people on here. My gallery, on the other hand... lol.

  • Link

    Sorta???

  • Link

    I am more of a lurker, sadly, but I do check Weasyl and other art sites daily! I no longer use FA.

  • Link

    I'm still here!

  • Link

    I don't draw much anymore, but I check Weasyl every day to see what my fav artists--like you!--have been up to.

    No other site has clicked with me as well. They all feel like they're trying too hard to be the next FA. Weasyl feels a bit more like its own thing to me, for some reason.

  • Link

    i'm sort of stopped being "creative" but i still lurk and fav stuff that i really like... so keep up the amazing work <3

  • Link

    I do all my posting here of late. I appreciate people using non-FA sites, though FA's so large and trafficed it's hard for other sites to pull away.

  • Link

    I use this place regularly, but I pretty much only use this, DeviantArt and Tumblr.

  • Link

    I'm still pretty active on here, but you're right that this site seems rather barren.

  • Link

    I'm a FA refugee and never going back, if you don't post here I can't see your goodies

  • Link

    I'm still active here (though have been on haitus due to illness) but honestly its frustrating/disappointing that Weasyl didn't take off as much as hoped. The website UI works well and the whole site has a pleasant look to it, but the community seems small and withdrawn to me. Like you I've still been posting here, but its like a ghost town.

    I've actually stopped commenting for the most part because people don't reply, and I suspect that's because they don't log in/ check the site often because its so dead around here. :/

    I'm not going back to FA though.

  • Link

    Yuppers!

  • Link

    Well it's gotten difficult with them platforms, but I really hope you keep this gallery up or at least tell us where you're going.
    Furthermore I can only speak about my personal situation, and that is now, that my traineeship is accomplished, heading toward writing frequently. Honestly I have no idea where a good spot for furry stories and stories in general could be. But I'll keep going and take any opportunity that presents itself, while staying on course through the hard and dull times. That I can recommend to you as well. :)

  • Link

    I favour Weasyl over other sites, and am following a few people on multiple sites, but will view their art here first, least when they post it here at the same time.

  • Link

    Me! I use Weasly as a backup incase FA goes tits up, hacked or bought up by yet another 'distruptive' Silicon valley marketing company.

  • Link

    Meeeee. I understand FA is a necessity for people who live off their art, but I'd be much happier if weasyl had picked up more. I just flat-out don't trust FA, even if I do end up having to go back.

  • Link

    Nobody here but us studmares

  • Link

    Only just, i post here regardless. Its good to not have all your eggs in one basket, lol

  • Link

    I post here more than I do on FA, and even though I watch people over there, I never actually look at my submissions or journals. Here I actually keep up with things! I like the interface and community here better.

  • Link

    I mostly lurk.

  • Link

    I think I'm going to start being active again I'm just getting everything in line for that.

  • Link

    I'm heeeeere! D:

  • Link

    Hello, I'm still here!

  • Link

    I kind of lurk occasionally.

  • Link

    I'm on here several times a week but I'm more the lurker type...

  • Link

    I'm still partially active though I haven't posted any of my recent art (mostly because i haven't really finished anything enough to post it anywhere)

    I do hope this site picks up more as there's a bunch of cool features here and I didn't notice the marketplace until you mentioned it. This site has so much potential to it.

  • Link

    late but i'm kinda still active here, i've been pretty meh on all art sites though but this is one of my mains -v-

  • Link

    Another late reply but still here, just havent been active lately because of loss of motivation while being depressed.
    Still check the site when I can tho.
