Suddenly, more Weasyly folks! by AuraPuffs

all was quiet

left for the valentines weekend

come back, KABOOM hundreds of messages oh goodness

Oh, guess they did open beta! :)

Still a nice lil' place, but of course a bit more catered towards artists themselves than ones who are only able to collect them and such. (for memory space and all) Not that it's a bad thing, just kinda makes pages like mine empty, haha. After all, I'm honestly a fan of not only artists, but also of several characters themselves.

Kinda wish stuff like 'Collections' and whatnot were a Folder, and not a Tab, so they'd show up on a main page and kinda liven it up, but also to be able to tell if there's art there for a quick-glance kinda thing. I keep peeking at people's pages and going 'aw they made an account but haven't posted anything', but actually they have a lot of stuff, but it's tucked away in collections, much like how people often forget to check Scraps on FA and realize 'wow there's a ton more stuff in here', even years after knowing the fact.

That, or maybe if collections could go the other way around, like I could post something from an artist, and then send THEM a note saying hey, would you like to add this to YOUR gallery, and it'd swap under their name. You know, since artists spend sooo much time uploading a billion art pieces, which just adds on to their already busy workload, that could be a way for the commissioner to kinda do the work for them, then have it load/link from them to give them credit.. or something. Something like that, yeah!

Still a super neat pro to have custom banners, especially since you can kinda compact your ref sheet into it, so a simple page view is more than enough to know the character as soon as it loads. Now that's neato!

Still snazzy, however it all works :)

(wish the tags didn't rearrange into alphabetical order)

Suddenly, more Weasyly folks!

    I just joined here! :D

  • Link

    Yeah, a certain amount of admin drama caused a bunch of furs to move here to Weasyl.

    • Link

      Yeah, I dunno. I suppose that was a factor, but to most artists I've talked to, it comes down to 'Are there enough people there for me that having a Weasyl presence will help my business?' (or) 'that it'll be seen by an audience?' Coincidentally the open beta and that push of people may have made it (more) worth an artist's while. It's kind of a cause-effect thing.

      Me, I love the features that I get here that I'm not getting on other sites, despite promises for years to the contrary...I'm just glad to see activity here!

      • Link

        Yeah, it seems to have better features. I have had my account since October, but haven't used it yet. I hope that will change ^_^

        • Link

          Well, you know how it goes...hope doesn't build bridges! If you're a watcher, look through submissions and find artists to watch and fave some stuff! If you're an artist, post some art! What are you waiting for? :D

    I get the feeling that collections are a work in progress. I think the idea is sound, and should hopefully help keep the server running faster, but it probably needs a bit of tweaking. Thankfully, the mods here, so far, seem very open to suggestions. ^.^
