Here it is! The Zidonuke Chronicles 2: Electric Boogaloo (This is a good one.) by Calypso_Koalasaur
WE DID IT! ZIDONUKE IS DOWN (allegedly) AND YOUR INFO IS (allegedly) SAFE (allegedly)
PART ONE IS HERE:https://www.weasyl.com/journal/69365/big-news-over-at-fa-starrykittens-real-name
Remember, we are not here to cause drama. We are here to hold Dragoneer accountable for lying about donations in a safe space where we will not be censored.
http://www.reddit.com/r/furry/comments/2mtqb4/furaffinity_and_zidonuke_drama_part_ii/
For those of you unwilling to read that entire post, let me just state some things here:
Dragoneer trusts nobody! (except the only person on his team with a history of hacking...?)

HERE'S WHERE IT STARTS TO GET GOOD, FOLKS:

As you can see, Dragoneer plainly states that Zidonuke has not been an admin at all. He's only looked at the code. But wait, I thought...

Oh, that's right! Zidonuke has been a hidden admin for over a year now, according to his own words. Somebody's pants are on fire! Oopsie! Would you say that he deserves to keep his 25k dollar donation? I guarantee that if Zidonuke was revealed before the ddos, Fur Affinity would be broker than its commenting system right now. Funny how those facts just seem to mete themselves out, isn't it?
BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!
For those of you wondering, this does prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that Zidonuke does indeed have access to the code for the website. This is a question asked for quite a while, and now we know. Not only does he have access to the code, but it is UNSUPERVISED ACCESS. How do we know this? It's simple. When he deleted the Fender Journal comments, he modified an account that was not his. If this was out of his scope, he would have been fired from his position immediately after it was discovered. However, he's still around and posting new Trello cards. This means that he doesn't have to ask people before doing something as drastic as wiping a 700+ comment journal, and it also means THAT HE HAS ALREADY DELETED AN ENTIRE SOMETHING BECAUSE HE GOT MAD AND IT ONLY TOOK HIM ONE DAY. ONE DAY. This is his EXACT past behavior!
NOW, THE BEST PART!
So, we come to the issue of Jake the server. In this post, Zidonuke helpfully explains that Jake has been inactive for a year and a half, and it's "constantly been talked about internally."
www.furaffinity.net/journal/6265766#cid:43149631
However, a little digging found a big ol' stinker of a lie.
This journal is from Fender, on September 15th, 2013: www.furaffinity.net/journal/5058966/
Let's read that one more time, shall we? "Our server migration went well (though a few hours over our estimate). We are currently running off Jake as our primary DB server, and Finn will be brought up later this coming week as our secondary DB."
But, wait a minute...

Now, I don't know much about computers, but I do have a basic concept of time. I do know that November 19th 2014 is NOT two weeks after September 15th, 2013. Dragoneer flat out lied. He lied. He lied, and then he asked for more money and furries gave it to him because they wouldn't research. They blew it off as drama. They ignored it. Now, they were robbed. The server they bought with the last donation drive has been inactive, but perfectly useable. And then they asked for more.
I humbly request that you all request Dragoneer to refund his donation payments, because they were not used for what they were stated for. He does not even have the common courtesy to tell you the truth. He should be absolutely ashamed of himself.

We don't. But that's not the issue here. The issue is that Dragoneer lied about Jake the server and then accepted more money. He lied and he needs to refund what he was given. Instead of answering questions and showing receipts, he and Sciggles have brazenly been posting on Twitter about buying plane tickets and Christmas shopping. This is fucking reprehensible.
-
Now I'm starting to wonder whether the real reason Zido "stepped down" was because Dragoneer didn't like how he accidentally spilled the beans about Jake.

Cry me a river. If he is going to do any damage, it already has been done behind the scenes.
Move along, use a securely generated password, and for the love of all that is good, take a break from the internet for a few hours.-
"someone abused your donations and threatened your security, it's not a big deal! Quit being such a baby about lying, fraud, and breach of security! Go do something important like fight white male privilege!"
-
Sssh, it's okay. IMVU will take good care of it.
-
-
He had unfettered access to the code for an entire year while Dragoneer hid this fact and raked in tens of thousands of dollars. This is what happens when people just let it lie. We are for accountability, not apathy that can cause serious damage.

Thank you kindly good sir for fighting the good fight. You are truly an inspiration, a gift to this community.
-
Thank you, but this was a group effort. I have been constantly using the words we and us because we are all wanting change, not just me. We all made this happen, you included!
-
I know, I just feel without your knowledge we couldn't have had this happen. I have been trying my best to get answers myself. This isn't over not by a long shot, not until Neer gives us an explanation of his actions.
-
-
-
Oh WOW this is fucking ridiculous. I knew DRagoneer was bad, but not...like this. I figured he just made bad PR decisions with who he's hiring and was unprofessional. This? This is...fucked up :/ thanks for the information dude. You andRowedahelicon have been amazing on spreading the word. Thank you, seriously.
-
No, thank you! Just remember we are far from done! Make him accountable for the money!
-
I'm not sure how to go about reporting it, but once I find out information, you best your amazing ass that I will bring this up. This is so insulting and offensive to everyone who ever donated or trusted in FA. I'm definitely putting stuff on weasyl and sofurry again to try and spread my venue. This is just so disappointing in every way.
-
Well thank you, I do lots of squats to make my ass this amazing.

-Siiiigh..-
After last year... I should've followed my gut n not put 50$ to fA again.
Oh well...Guess I'm switching sites now, just wish these places got as much traffic. =w=
This is just too much, though... Luckily my password is pretty strong but...
Wow all the poor saps who don't... And even worse, all the poorer saps who have the same pass to everything.-
It's okay. We all want to believe something important to us isn't a lie and it's upsetting when it is. When did you donate? I would ask for a refund, we have proof, picture proof, that Dragoneer lied about his server Jake and then accepted money afterwards. You were lied to and you deserve that money back!

Thank you for fighting the good fight for those of us who got the ban hammer last year for speaking out against Zaush/Chase. It's good to know that people like others and myself are still willing to beat the truth out of the twats running the show at FA like a Cinco de Mayo pinata. It makes me wonder though; Zido would've been brought aboard FA as a secret admin around the same time Zaush and Chase were brought on board. This gives some possibility that other scum were brought on board but just haven't been "brought to light" yet.
It doesn't surprise me one bit at all regarding the fundraiser. I called it the moment the news hit my desk. It's an annual thing for FA to do this. After all, Dragoneer lives off the ignorance of 'his baby'.
Honestly, I was glad to hear Zidonuke became part of the staff. I actually hoped that he still intends to go about with his "Divine h4x0r justice" on the website after getting into a fight about "who has the bigger bad dragon collection" with neer himself. I hope Zidonuke is the end of FA so that another website (probably Weasyl even though it's not perfect it's the best alternative) can take its place.
You should've taken a screen shot of the Trello pages. They're cleaning house atm.
Thanks again for bleeding out all that info from Zidonuke. Though, this is going to result in Zido ultimately doing everything in his aspie, 14yo mentality to enact "Divine Justice" on you for calling him out. But whatever, fuck that guy. You've my support.
In closing, while this was fine and dandy and pretty damn entertaining to watch, it'll all be for naught. People will get mad. People will tell neer to fuck off. In the end run, it will result in "Hey, all the guys I watch are still on FA so whelp I gotto stick with them!". Two weeks of departure then a swift return is what will happen with the user base (if at all). This is why I stated whole heatedly that Zidonuke will be the best thing that has ever happened to FA if it results in Zidonuke Nuking the site and putting it out of its misery. But the chances of that are merely that of a nerdy wet dream of yours truly.
Salud,
Toshabi
P.S- The best is yet to come with Zido's "resignation". I'll be watching very closely.
-
Thank you, but honestly...we were never trying to take down FA. I started simply by outing his identity in order to force accountability, and it unraveled into the unfortunate circumstance of his fraudulent donation drives. We never meant for this to happen. We wanted to fix fur affinity. We love it. Unfortunately, it's just too far gone now.
-
It's rather cynical of me to state that I'd wish the end of that site, but as long as Neer holds the reins of the site, it's going to result in the same fiasco happening year after year.
I liked FA. I met a lot of fine folks there. But what its been reduced to now is an outlet for Neer to con users out of donations. Promises of progress haven't been met for years, adspace hasn't been distributed to those that already paid for it, years of trouble tickets go unattended/ignored, and heck even personal GoFundMe rewards by Neer have yet to be dispersed. The site just feels like a piss poor website now whose sole purpose is to fund the one running the show. And the scary thing is that it almost seems like Neer is aware of this and is completely content things being this way.
-
You're right! And if we all stay on him, he can't ignore these responsibilities. Don't forget that he owes 10k in back taxes. If we all force him to be accountable, we can do it. Don't listen to those who say we are a minority and we can't change anything. Today we proved them hilariously wrong. Keep fighting!
-
I can't remember where, but I remember reading somewhere the donations were meant to 'help' pay that off, ya know, versus the hardware we don't really need. The tax debt not one person aside 'Neer and maybe Sciggles knew even existed prior to the Reddit thread he made AFTER the donation drive went up.
A fool and his money re easily parted.

-
After finding out he lied about the ad server, I definitely won't ever be buying another ad or doing anything that involves giving my money to FA, even if it's an investment for more possible commissioners.
Jesus christ.
Thanks for sharing the info.
-
You are welcome, but he has yet to account for the money or the server or the go fund me gifts. Stay on him!
-
-
Wow, I am surprised about Zido/Starrykitten is finally removed.
Also, I'm glad that you pulled out a lot of truth into it. But I also agree with you, I liked Fur Affinity, but I find it sad how deep it has gone. -
https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/6277601/#cid:43202989 <-- Confirmation from Zidonuke's 'Master' apparently? Because that's valid.
-
I'm sure his penis is the only stake he's got in him.

Sorry to report that your Trello links are down - it appears that whatever work that was done there has either been removed entirely, or made private. You might want to mention this in your journal as an update; it seems entirely suspect that evidence is being taken down.
I'd also make backups of all the evidence you currently have, just in case - there's no telling how far down this is going to go.

Holy crap... Dragoneer has some serious 'splaining to do. Zido has just been sacked and both the StarryKitten and Zidonuke accounts have been disabled, so I guess that's one good thing fA has done. Although at this point, how do we know Dragoneer just won't give Zido another secret admin account?
