Some of us do not belong to and have NO plan to ever join Twitter/DA/Patreon and have left FA because of bad management and policies! The only way this site gets more active is if WE make it so, leaving it does nothing but destroy it. Very sorry you would stay with FA but not here!

I get it, I very much do. There's very little going on here, but I won't go back to FA. Don't really know who owns it, know they're not furs and don't like some of their policies. That being said, it takes so little time to post, I make the effort. It's actually kind of nice to have a place that's still dedicated and NOT full of all that other stuff (twitter, most social media). That being said, you have to do what's best for you. I do see your work in lots of places. :"D

Twitter is top shit for art and Tumblr has nasty resizing and bunk on FA and DA. Sad to see you go.

Glad I picked a good time to make a Twitter account, ha, but yeah echoing other comments. Sad to see you go, but you do you, fam. Heck maybe I should post more crap to Twitter myself, since it looks like I can actually, y'know, remove things if I so decide, unlike Tumblr :V

I know you don't really care, but I thought I should mention that a lot of people were banned from furaffinity for "reasons" and basically are not allowed to make another account. and if they do and Dragoneer or any of the other admins find out about it they get banned again.

I wish it were different too. Full sized/non compressed/no limit images are also a huge incentive for me to be here!

Thats kind of my issue too, Weasyl is very slow peaceful kind of town. I know other places are packing but they often are an unstable brew. Its up to you cool kid. I think time will fix things rather then us waiting.

yeah i disappeared for a little bc it was a ghost town then came back to an even worse ghost town where nothing is posted but bad porn
trying to stay active but its pathetic and depressing compared to how it was when i joined and doesnt feel worth it mostly

I can't blame you at all. Weasyl is so, so slow. Really, I've been seeing a lot of these journals pop up and there seems to always be more activity on the leaving journals than there is on anything else... :\

I feel like a big problem here is that there simply aren't enough non-artists here, and they're the ones that would normally drive a lot of interaction? I feel like a lot of those non-artist people used Weasyl when it first came out because it was an exciting new toy, but then they got bored and went back to whatever they used most to begin with...whereas a lot of artists stayed because Weasyl is legitimately a decent site with some really good features, and just trying to reap the benefits of having different venues for advertising their work. So what's left is a bunch of artists who are trying to juggle multiple sites posting stuff here but not really being able to initiate much interaction with other artists because they're spending so much time and energy juggling multiple sites, along with the sparse few others who dislike FA but refuse to use Twitter/Tumblr.

I really feel like this is why so many new furry art sites that pop up fail too--artists will almost always put the effort in to expand their audience and will follow that audience too, but the actual audience rarely wants to do anything even remotely inconvenient or that requires any effort they're not used to putting in (even if it's as simple as learning how to use a new site) without some major incentive. And since so many artists that do post here post to other sites as well, that incentive just isn't there.

I hate FA and I'm not going back. Never was able to get into other sites like Tumblr and Twitter. If you leave I'll be sad because that'll mean yet another artist I love gone.
