Making the Change by glek

So with the continued lack of action on FurAffinity to correct their dismal story submission system, not to mention a few of the interesting events occurring over there, I've made the decision to begin transferring to another site.

I've long been a member of SoFurry and while I like their story system, the site just doesn't feel right for me. It's hard to say why, the community is friendly, the submission system is nice, they have a few other features I like such as a chat system, but perhaps that is the problem. SoFurry feels like it's spread a bit too thin in terms of features. No one feature really stands out to me.

A number of my favorite artists are also changing sites and Weasyl seems to get mentioned a fair bit. I've played around on Weasyl in the past and found some cool things but nothing that really attracted me permanently to the site. With the movement of a few of these artists, though, and the lack of other alternatives, I'm back to give the site another try.

In the near future, I will begin uploading my art. Those who have accounts on this site that I have commissioned from will see collection requests popping up as I do. Those who do not, I will be linking back to the original artists account and/or the page to which the post was originally made on.

I will also be fleshing out my character collection as I have many characters without proper entries. This is part of my movement away from a few role playing sites in an attempt to centralize all my things into one place for easier management. More details on that to follow soon.

      Honestly, I have nothing against FurAffinity, its staff, or those who want to continue using it. The staff are doing the best they can with what they have and they're not being malicious. Unfortunately, the direction they're taking the site is not the direction I feel it needs to go in order to get my continued support.

        Mmm....no...the staff are not really doing the best they can, and I have gotten this from a few people who have worked on the staff before and came out with a more "what really goes on with the FA staff" type journals.

        So...while the site itself and the users are mostly okay. From the people who have worked with the staff and been let go as a result of speaking up against some of the things they had planned and did do [e.g the IMVU side bar, the porn ads, etc.] as being bad ideas. Because they truly were terrible ideas. So yeah, they FA staff is kind of just not making smart moves and people give an outcry when they do, but still it does not seem the FA staff listens very well.
