Ok, so, basically FA went down a week ago, as some of you may be aware by now.
It's been really annoying honestly because I've actually been working on art recently.
This isn't the first time I've had problems with FA, but the more I learn about the technical issues the more I am uneasy.
Many of the issues I find personally unacceptable, as these are technical considerations that I would think are an industry standard but are ignored. Y'all need some help yo.
However, the sheer volume FA has over anything else in terms of users makes it necessary to maintain social contact within the fandom as I have discovered.
I would like to start using Weasyl more but until more people follow suit it can be quite difficult. However, from now on, in the face of FA's instability, I will make an effort to update this account and keep the profile, submissions, and journals all current.
I'm also wondering if the group functionality on Weasyl is working because that'd be awesome.

Personally, I'm finding that this idea that 'the community isn't here' is...not as strongly founded as it might have been even 3-4 days ago. Hopefully the tools above can help you find folks!
