It's probably going to slow down, but I think a good number of artists and users are going to stick around. Hopefully things will pick up even more here. I really like the layout of this site more than FA. I would like them to add some things like the "profile ID" from FA though. Put a "Featured" option to replace the "Most Recent" submission panel.

It almost makes me wonder if the proper choice of action for Weasyl is to appeal to popularity.

Hear me out: FA has always been a source of Watchers, and we all know the facts: the more watchers you have, the better artist you are!

But seriously, perhaps there should be contests and drawings held to keep the community united. I've seen features of 'flag this for critique' and I think that is extremely innovative. Perhaps a cross forum, to gallery might make sense.

I suppose it is in the best interest of both sites to see furry artwork, literature, and community to come together not contest over who gets what and what's next.

...but then again furries are a reckless bunch :D

Possibly helpful tools for you!
