FA Donation Scam Update by Calypso_Koalasaur

https://www.reddit.com/r/furry/comments/2n42ro/furaffinity_exodus_discussion_hall/

An organized exodus from FA to Weasyl is happening right now in light of Dragoneer's hiring of a known black-hat hacker (who we got fired!) and his embezzlement of almost $25,000 from kind hearted and well-intentioned donators. A helpful infographic of the situation is here, made by Weasyl user Ashto: https://www.dropbox.com/s/a5razr60qfud25q/Infograph.png?dl=0

Please spread the word and help everyone make the move a little easier!

    Quick question, wanting to make sure I got the right info, how did the donation scam became known?

      There was a post back in 2013 about Jake the Server being started as a DB for the site. Dragoneer accepted more donation money afterwards, with a hidden hacker on the team, and didn't disclose this, or the fact that Jake the Server had been inactive, proven by the site's Trello card regarding its replication. This means that he not only lied about buying a functional server, he asked for more money afterwards. We are now on day 9 of no comment from him. He said on Twitter that he will make a statement tomorrow, but seeing as how it took him a year to "remember" to tell the truth, we'll see.
