Help Weasyl out! by VernonCross
Original journal from
Pushed to repost by acidbone
Let's help Weasyl out! Tips/Suggestions to keep it active!
I think these tips and ideas from her is really really awesome, so im just gonna copy and paste this just for you guys!
-First off, please do not harass, pester, or badtalk anyone who does not wish to leave FA. I haven't seen this yet, but I also do not want to see this. I've already gotten/seen nasty comments for people willingly choosing to leave that site, so please lead by example and don't give it back.
- Post! Obvious enough, by just BEING here to post, it's providing new content for people to work with. Interact! Try to comment/talk with people. IDK great thing about small communities is being able to connect better, right? I'm doing my best to take advantage of that, and being able to make conversation with people is really making it a pleasant experience so far. I already wanna stay!
- Offer extra stuff. A lot of people are offering free things, trades they wouldn't normally be open/offering, etc. I think this sorta thing also helps build the sense of compassion and community necessary for a place to flourish.
- Make certain content Weasyl exclusive.
- Open commissions here first, before FA (or other sites?)
- Have special, weasyl-only commission offers.
- Try to make a habit of commissioning artists through this site. Both artists and buyers are equally important in this. Artists wanting to make this place work will do a little extra to make it worth while, and buyers who would like to see this place kick off should do the same with meeting half way!
- Tell your friends! This is more than just a furry site (in fact, it's an everything site!) So maybe your artist friends would like to know about a new art site and nice community to build up?
- Have a problem/suggestion? Give it on the forums! I haven't tried this, but I have heard exceptionally good things about the administration for this site so far. And hey! Beta is still in the title for a reason, right?
- Suggest stuff to add to this list??
I am hoping this helps out not only those who follow me, but those who are also new here and possibly seeing this jorunal!

you are on there 83 <3
and yes! i felt i couldn't just sit by and not repost this time. I'M GONNA DO THIS -fist pump-
xD i'll definitely check out your journal when you post it :D-
C: I totally understand that. I couldn't help myself in the end either. I'm just like "I should repost it. FOR REASONS. 8U"
I wanted to link my entire watchlist in icons. v_v;; hurrr... But I stopped after about... IDK 30 people. lol
♥♥♥

HAHAHA i know i get lazy so i kept it smallish for now 8'D
i mean like, clicking through each and every person is tiring! worth it, but tiring xD-
Absolute truth. xD Granted I just do 'open in new tab' en mass. But still.
-
i already have a mass of tabs so i just click the icons that i don't already watch (haha) and only like 2-3 at a time xD don't wanna lose my tabs. i need to learn how to close tabs man. lmao!
-
xDD I know this feel. I have to force myself to close tabs after a month or two. Like "... I haven't used it yet, It'll probably sit here three more months not being used......" lol
-
OMG.
LMFAO
-doesthatwithRPthreadssometimes-
and after i close them then i get inspired to do them
UGH. BAD.

I have been making an effort to comment/fave a lot of things both in my inbox and on the front page. I LOVE that the community is small right now. It doesn't feel like a popularity contest like it is on FA.
And I just did a few Weasyl-only trades. :3 I'll definitely continue to do my part to make Weasyl more active!
-
I try to comment and fav too i've mostly been waiting for the upload spam to go down though cause i end up with tons of stuff in my inbox xD I plan to go back through my favs and comment on stuff once it gets less crazy, i'd be working so hard to keep up otherwise, haha XD<3
i think once i have a cleaner list of stuff to do i'll do some weasyl only things myself :D here's hoping for the best <3

Thank you guys for sharing such lovely artists. C: Filling up my 'watching' list quite well. ♥

For the sake of spreading it around.
