Furrific by SpartaDog

I got one, but I'm not sure how often I'll be using it.

https://www.furiffic.com/SpartaDog/info

I'm kinda....eh on it so far? It's EXTREMELY bare bones and I'm not overly impressed with it. There's not even an "x users online right now" thing at the bottom. I've seen a small handful of the people I watch making accounts though so I guess it doesn't hurt? I'm just kind of afraid it'll go down the same road as Nabyn and all the various other gallery sites that never really make it off the ground. But maybe with all the scandal lately it'll be able to reap the benefits of the people who are leaving...not that there have been many.

Or maybe I'm just missing something? Am I not seeing Furrific's major features? What's the site's appeal for those of you who are using it?

    I'm giving it a try for the heck of it. Sure, it's another gallery to maintain, but it's not that much more work to upload to one more site.

    But I agree that it seems really sparse. There are some design decisions that seem a little weird when viewed in a desktop browser, but make a little more sense when looking at it on mobile. Even so, with the majority of the site use being on desktop, it makes it seem kind of blocky and 2005-ish.

      I don't mind maintaining another gallery, but only if it's worth it, yknow? If I'm not gonna get any traffic or business out of it, I have better things to spend time on lol

        Definitely agree. I'll let my gallery get stale if the site doesn't pick up and make it worthwhile. They do have the advantage of having a cute, topical name though, unlike some. (WTF is a "nabyn"?)

    It has potential but it still needs a lot of work to be more user friendly. I made an account there in 2013 but never really got into the features. I prefer Weasyl

      Does it have anything over FA or Weasyl? Like at all?

      • Link

        Uhh a cool cover photo. Folder system (beats FA). More species options in tags compared to FA. Filter system.
        I mean it doesn't beat Weasyl in my opinion, but it has a few more features than FA and the site builder/admin is super friendly and very approachable. Listens to feedback and updates relatively well. So it does have some good things

          -nods- Makes sense. Hopefully it'll get some decent traffic then

          • Link

            I hope so too! With a little bit of love and some increased traffic it has potential to really blossom into a functional art site.

    I think its better then Weasyl, but since they've screwed up Weasyl that doesn't say much.

      Can you elaborate please

        The messed up thumbnails and the new tagging system.
        This site used to be so much better before they did an FA here.

          I meant on how you think Furrific is better. I'm not going to get into a discussion on why you don't like Weasyl.

          • Link

            The site looks better, the staff are more polite and seem to care more, also to say Furrific is much newer than Weasyl it seems more advanced and user friendly.
            Weasyl is still is beta when Furrific isn't (Not that much work seems to happening).
            Not to get into a discussion about the recent changes to Weasyl, but they have pretty much ruined the site with them and given little to no thought for the users that liked Weasyl the way it was, the fact they haven't even attempted to fix it shows how much they don't care.

            To be honest Weasyl seems to be running out of steam now, the novelty of the new site has worn off now and all the flaws are showing.
            These half assed changes only confirm this further, the fandom didn't need another FA.

    Furiffic is prowhite, anti Muslim, antilatino, and I'm tired of this piece of poop site

    • Link

      Uh this journal is 2 years old and I haven't touched the site in about as long, but thanks I guess?

        I post a funny trump art but the owner took it down and saying that I'm racist in which I'm not.
