I've Abandoned FA and I Did Not Do So Quietly by Ransom

I'm only on Weasyl and Tumblr now; Fur Affinity is dead to me. After the latest disgusting scandal, many people decided to migrate here fairly quietly, but I sure as hell did not.

It's good to see many others making the move with me.

    Well I'm just glad you're still around posting your work. It's a pleasure to watch you work and an inspiration to see you keep on keeping on. Hope to see more stuff from ya Ransom.

      For sure, dude! More art is incoming.

      Power to the peeps, power for the dream.

        Still missin a piece scattering, so incomplete.

    Most compelling post I've seen about it yet. Happy to have you here, or wherever, dood.

      Thanks a lot. My intent was to clarify the event and preemptively strike down any stupid arguments that might arise, not only for my own watchers, but for anyone else who needed a good reference of exactly how and why the behaviour of the site staff is unacceptable. Some people have admitted to screencapturing and mirroring, and it's getting reblogs on Tumblr, so I guess it's been somewhat successful!

        It is giving me a lot more cause for pause, as it were. I imagine as everything gets set up here and I see just how many of the artists I follow are cross-posting or where they prefer it'll decide for me. I don't usually get into drama things, but... as I said, compelling.

    Good. Very good post.
    This shit needs to be spread around, because we need to convince people to get the fuck out of FA. Like Gerrark said there, it's likely they'll lose some fans, but with SOFT and this post, the move should be easy for everyone.

      I can't believe how hard it is to convince some people that what's been going on is problematic and indeed something they ought to be concerned about. The ignorance and apathy is almost stunning, but at least I've gotten a lot of support and even swayed a few opinions.

    it was like reading the climax in the script of an action movie. I feel like there where guns and gas cans involved.

    You should repost that excellent journal over here, before they delete it there. It's a good summary, and I want to +fav it (you can fav journals here!)

    • Link

      I'm starting following you here because of how much I like that journal you wrote, btw. I hope you do mirror it so I can link it to people after the inevitable erasure...

      • Link

        I'm really glad you and so many others like it. It is mirrored! It's on Tumblr. I, and several others, have saved copies and reblogs of it too.

        • Link

          I mostly just want you to post it here so I can +fav it again, honestly! (You can +fav journals; another way Weasyl beats that old mess technically)

  • Link

    HI. I found your journal on FA, reblogged it on Tumblr*, and now I am here to tell you that you are fucking awesome and deserve medals made out of your very, very favorite food(s). Seriously. Thank you for the write-up. I have nooo idea how that didn't get nuked from orbit on FA yet.

    Rock the hell on, man.

    * I'm Demons And Teapots, on Tumblr, the guy who added that second group of screenshots to Boogan's post.

    Glad you posted that journal on FA, certainly convinced me to start making the jump from FA to Weasyl. Made my own journal linking to yours ^^ I'd recommend making a copy of your journal here as well if (well, when) it gets erased, you know what the FA admins are like.

    Fantastic art as well, it's so beautiful <3

  • Link

    Fairly quietly
    Journals everywhere about "Im leaving fA".

    I'd say the exodus have been anything but quiet. The difference is that you knew more things than the normal people did.

  • Link

    Makes me wish I could just delete my FA account. This is beyond horrible and don't want my username associated with that website ever again. I hope many people read your journal and dump that place for good.

  • Link

    Love this post so hard you just don't even know.

  • Link

    I wasn't following you, but I think my finacee was. She linked me to your journal and I saved it. Once I finish clearing things up with my commissioners over there I'm 100% off that site. (If your journal gets removed/you get banned, I'll be posting up your journal with credit to you on my exit. You are the best information I saw and it should be spread)

    • Link

      I know Ransom from Commissions before, but i got the journal link from ScarletRagdoll when she clarified she was never coming back to FA.

      though now, more than Ever, I want to move everything over here, I just can't afford it right this second and it makes me super sad.
      I wanna jump ship ASAP but transitions will be slow TnT -sigh-

  • Link

    Didn't you use to be on Twitter as well? I swear I was following you there previously.

  • Link

    wait neither sites are opening up to me (damn this comp) whats going on?

  • Link

    nevermind i got to it and wow... FA is crap for that
