So to those of you who are watching me, first let me say thank you so much. You guys rock my socks in so many ways.
In other news though, I will be opening up commissions here in a few weeks. Besides DA (which I don't get commissions from anyways) this will be the only site I do commissions from as far as Adult works are concerned. My move from FA has been a long time coming. I never liked the site it's self, finding it ugly and overly simple compared to the Crazy amount of following it had. That aside, it hardly ever worked like it should and I CONSTANTLY had to fight with it to make it Work.
All that aside, with the way they handled not only the stalking incident, but also with the way they recently treated a few people in disregard to THEIR OWN FUCKING RULES. Well, I cannot stand hypocrisy and that is all it is. The admins pick and choose whoever they want to remove as it suits their fancy. True adults who run a business ignore the "bullshit" people say because people, people will always talk. You have to learn to grow up and ignore it. As an adult running an entire site this is life and you have to learn to rise above the nonsense.
They have been picking and choosing what they want their rules to apply to and I cannot support a site who's rules only apply to what they want. Actually ,even with this little rant journal offsite I could still very easily get Banned from FA it's self...
ALLLL THE BULL ASIDE. I will be opening commissions here very soon. They will be on sale for a time to help draw in customers/watchers/supporters etc. I will create a few journals related to all of this withing a few days and continue attributing art and such over the the next month.
Again, to those of you watching me here THANK YOU. I really appreciate all of you!
Yeah, a lot of people over there are still "FA FOREVER" but I won't be staying with the site as douchey as it is/has become. Deviant art isn't run like that. I've NEVER seen ANYTHING like this happen. Somtimes people get mad at the judgement the admins pass (which is going to happen) but never anything like this shit.
I'm not actively boycotting the site and yet I've found myself avoiding it for days because I didn't want to see all the rape apologists' replies in my inbox...
I honestly hope FA shuts down, or at least loses its popularity. The admins + owners aren't mature enough to be in a position of power over other users, as they've proven time and time again. They banned me for something off-site, and it didn't even have ANYTHING to do with FA, Dragoneer, or even the fandom AT ALL. Weasyl is a much better site, and the fact that it's still in beta allows for a much higher chance of changes we, as users, want happening. For instance, I really hope they allow us to change featured submissions soon. I suggested it a while back and they said that many others have also sent them emails about it too, and they were 50/50 on changing it or not. Lol
To be honest I don't really care about that whole incident at all, it's not my drama to be had and none of my buisiness.
Not that I would be protecting the Admins of FA at all they are a bunch of idiots, let's see how this site will fare. Time tells everything furry related is prone to drama, we will see
Agreed, but they claim offsite stuff doesn't count, but then banned a guy for an offsite comment? I can't stand abuse of power. Even with something as stupid as a single website. However, your are very right, furries are prone to drama, but the drama that caught my eye was a little more serious than "ermahgerd furry shittttt...." lol <3
stalking incedent? o.O i rarely use FA as it is... to be honest i only use it so i can follow your mature art ^^
