Just want to say thanks for the great welcome and all the watches here! It's nice to have a fresh start with a new gallery and everything!
I remember when FA first started (yeah i actually remember that) one of the things that really got the whole community momentum going was being talkative and active and just trying to do lots of fun stuff with each other. With a leaner watch list and better interface, i'm really going to try to make time for that here. I really like this recent influx of people's motives for coming here. It's such a good foundation to start building connections and community from.
I don't plan to really use the friends feature on here, but I'm also only accepting friend requests from people who i've actually had some kinds of dealings with on an extended scale. Please don't feel bad if i don't accept your request, it's simply because i don't know you that well!
And just a quick advert, I'm taking one commission at the moment, if you're interested please check out this journal:

Thanks y'all!!
I think I know what you mean about that fresh community feeling, it seems like more artists are eager to leave comments on here than on FA. I guess that site's just become so saturated that it's hard to care about what gets posted there as much.
Glad to see more good artists, I was getting worried my Weasyl account would be left here But alot of my favorite artists are coming here.
Yeah! I'm starting to feel a revival of enthusiasm to actually comment, or at least interact beyond "favorite, move on." Feels good.
It's good to see some big artists making the move, it puts the message out there.
But yes, good to see you on Weasyl! Good to hear that you received a warm welcome. ;3
Totally agree, I've been trying to ramp up my comments on any of the galleries I frequent, and with the 10k+ new accounts that have emerged over the last few days, I think there will be a lot more opportunities for quality back-and-forths over quality art.
I love the fact that there is a "please critique this" feature on this site, too. <3
[smashes beer and champaign bottles everywhere like woah]
Pleasure to meet you on here man! Looking forward to favorite, comment, and bother the hell out of you with my admiration bwhaha!
Really good to see you here and looking forward to what you have going forward, its been a good long time since FA started, I remember that too, maybe now is just the right time for a refresh :3
Remember when Sheezy changed its TOS during FC and everyone was like Aww Crap and had to bail? Migrations! Ah, memories.
