Congrats

Second post. >:3

*stares...shakes head, walks away*

=D

YAY!!

That was sort of my reaction.

well, congradulations to you. o.o;

Green tea is good.

And tis good to know that there's still surprises ahead ^_^

"pleased." Does that mean the search is coming back?!!

Hehe, I was about to ask that too :)

Search will come back. The "when" we still don't know, but we're working on it. So, no estimates on that. At all.

I love you now. Not just your butt.

We do not need backgrounds with penises. Thank you. *laughs*

I hadn't even thought of that until you mentioned it, but now that it's on my mind...

... we are all screwed now.

Thank you for starting the trouble.

its a good idea i think. you guys change banners every month for both the light and dark backgrounds. and people can choose which type of background they want....so mebbe there could be a future option to have a mature background for those old enough to view adult work.


oh and congrats on ownership deal. you've done so much for FA i think you truely deserve it. ^.=.^

i think we r gonna die now xD die of pleasure from the eye

The eye? What about the Paw?

the paw will be suffering from overworking! just like our dragoneer right now x_x

Well done, Dragoneer. :)

wow amazing !!

I swear for a second I thought -you- had passed off FA to someone else and near done had a heart attack over the soon to be erupting drama. Thank god I was wrong. :)

You're not the only one! Lol!

No, no... don't worry. :) FA is staying in good hands.

Hurrah!

I was just as worried.

Imagine that the second I saw this in my updates and middle-clicked the link, the site went kerplunk XD

Congradulations on the deal.

Enjoy your green tea, there's probably gonna be alot to do in the future ;3.

Best of luck to you.

Y'know, I thought about that when I was writing that...

Grats Dragoneer ^^ *wingsnuggles* I know you'll do a good job ^^

Does this mean I should stop pestering you? :3

Yes. Wait, no! I mean... maybe! I don't know. I'm really confused right now.

Let me just reset your system and make it all easier to figure.. <.< *buttgrab?*

xD

We'll see.

coooongrats buuuddy. Cookie for ya :3

Wow. You bought the whole thing... amazing... One thing I wonder, what would happen to this place later on in the future?

What do you mean?

Well I wonder what will happen later on when you want to retire from being owner. But it might be best if I stop worrying about it.

Wow! That's some news. Congrats. =)

*air humps*
nice work man.... wait FA has only been around for 2 years? hoshit, I'm starting to become one of the 'old' member o.O

Not even two years, actually. =P

wow... I joined 8 month after this place had started up... I assumed it had been going for a few years.

Well, if I'm lucky I can get some popularity soon ^^

wow, I could have sworn the whole arcturus vs. everyone else stuff happened in 2005 august or september or so o_O

I do remember browsing FA from Stuttgart from an internet café, and that was 2005 July o_o;

So I see your plan of world domination is set into motion.

awesome =^.^= heres to more adn more good years

You know, for some reason, "lead" and "owner" kinda meshed together for a second and read "overlord"...
Regardless, congrats.

Is there a difference? Owner, overlord, dictator for life, Castroneer... s'all the same, baby. :)

...don't call yourself Castroneer. That sounds like something we don't want done to you... ;.;

Shit, now i wish I could edit my entry!

Hehe...besides, those look like they'd been fun to play with. :P

Put the edit entry thing alongside the search function on the to do list.

Another idea to add to the features of FA?

well, congratulations...

what are your plans?

FA could use AJAX to lighten the loads here and there...
and you could implement RSS over the last submissions of the watched artists...
or just over the last 10 submissions...

there's also some work to do with the search engine...

More on that later. :)

*hisses and flails at AJAX*

but AJAX is fun...

Having my browser chrome work is more fun :(

Ah, extensions. How much fun they can be!

I thought you already owned it. Who's the other person? I'm so lost and confused!

Nope. I was always sort of a financier/obligatory purple object.

you mean's FA sex icon? ^^ *Giggles*

yes...cause dragons are always sexy...which gives me props on FSA cause i am a Dragon! muhahaha

Obligatory sexy purple object x3

*lifts his tea in salute* Yey Dragoneer~ <3

Honestly, from day 1 since I've been here I thought you were the owner. I actually did not hear of Alkora until a few months ago.

Wow congrats

Well, at least now the entire thing is in your hands rather than bits and bobs (the important bits and bobs!)

Good hands, too :)

Congratulations on your latest business transaction! Let the good times roll!

congraz, that has got to be pretty cool.

are you going to fix the search functions now, or will that have to wait even longer? :(

Congrats! You'll do great as the owner.

awesome

Things that evolve is always a good thing, specially if they evolve from good and great to better and greater. Now let's hope that a zombie invasion doesn't break out. ^_^

wow, congrates! Hope you manage to keep your sanity ._.

well im glad the minor problem has been remedied,hope no new ones arise for a while.

Congratulations =3

Uh oh, Dragoneer has obtained the final missing component for his evil scheme! Now he shall obtain UNLIMITED POWAH!!

Congratulations.

Thank fucking god.

Congrats mister owner!

Cool! May this be for the best.

Congratulations, dude! I know you'll do this site well :) Any ideas you have in the future I know will be good.

And I was sort of worried about your reaction, but I figured you'd do well :)

Hopefully there will be less drama now.

You'd have to remove this site from the internet to resolve that aspect of things.

I said LESS drama ;)

LOL! No matter what happens, I don't think drama will ever go away. ^__^;

That's a brilliant idea! =D Real-life FurAffinity! I'm compelled to get some furs to put together a video of that.

...na... it's gone now :b

What a silly thing to wish for.

I want this place to be a drama generator. :]

WOW~!

Congrats!! @w@

Yes... with Alkora gone I can begin my plans for world conquest!
Bwhahahahaa!
Hmmm...
*Still sitting at computer*
*YAwn*
Ehh... I'll start tommarow...
*Goes back to sleep*

Congrats on owning the biggest furry pr0n portal!

And speaking of portals, gotta go try that game.

*looks around* ....

I see nothing different =o~

"I'm not just a FA user - I'm the owner!"

Or

"I liked FA so much - I bought the company."

:)

Actually, that's how it started.

I was a user on FA, when the site died, I did everything I could with Alkora to help bring it back. Advertised, pimped, helped raise money and manage things. Eventually, fund the site. Ultimately, take the reigns. =P

Well - it's a well used phrase 'If you want something done right - do it yourself.'

So, congratulations on this big step - I hope it goes well for you.

You've got my support. This is the only art forum I post my stuff on. (Well, Bender's still has some of my stuff - but that's a special case - and I have some old, old stuff on... VCL? )

Fur Affinity
Under New Ownership/Management

I hope this all turns out for the best, and I was temporarily worried when I saw the subject line. I'd be off hiatus if I hadn't left my smegging drawing notebook at home.

...you win the Internet for using "smegging" in a sentence :)

Hey, some of us Americans out there are Red Dwarf fans.

Yeah, like me :)

Huzzah! You rock =)

*hugs Dragoneer* I hope you can handle it

I've got some experience with these kinda things. :)

No. I went so that I could boost my career and have enough money to support this site and other ventures (FA:U), to ultimately benefit the entire fandom (and my own bank account).

Furp went for completely separate and different reasons, and isn't involved with FA.

Aah *hugs* All the best ways to relax include tea in some way :) Also, congratulations on the ownership! :)

Treat it well sempai.

I won't be happy as long as project Ferrox is to be coded in Python =(

Nothin’ wrong with the py :)

then don't complain if the site is taking too long to develop <_<;

seriously, if they made it in PHP it would have been as good if not better and it would be done by now... nobody's using Perl or Python nowadays for a reason, and it's certainly not just because it's "not cool".

Current version of FA is PHP. Look at the quality of it :P Though it’s probably more to do with who does it, than the language used, but PHP has some serious issues (see even Wikipedia about those) that they haven’t been able to fix in ages.

Perl, for one, has had OOP support in it much before PHP, has a much more advanced database managing module, supports Unicode for a few years now, has variable scoping. The only problem? It’s a bitch to get mod_perl to work. And it’s a bit weird to do multi-dimension arrays and hashes in it, though that can be gotten used to.

Python. Unicode support, good DB libraries, really broad and good base library which is actually carefully done unlike PHP’s (which has a dozen naming conventions for the functions for example), is in and by itself an OO language, no hacks needed there, and it’s learnable in an afternoon (PHP people seem to cite how easy it is to learn PHP, well, it was damn easy to learn Python, and it even taught me OO. Beat that.)

Google and NASA use Python for example, and YouTube also runs it. LiveJournal runs on Perl.

Python, easier to learn than PHP?... please... I tried to learn it myself and gave up after one week, that's when I got on PHP, and hell is it easier, I never want to turn back!

Actually, I won't deny Perl and Python are more flexible and versatile, but what the hell will you do with all those damn libraries anyway!? It's a website you're making, not a NASA space shuttle thing program on which the lives of thousands are counted! If you're a good coder (and I mean a good one), you can achieve the same result with half the efforts in PHP. And please, don't cite the current version of FA as an example, they don't even use <div> tags in the html template!!

Major sites like Microsoft's and NewGrounds use respectively ASP and PHP (which are actually the same thing with different names), and they don't seem to think it was a mistake to use these programming languages, far from it. You don't need class heritage and polymorphisms to make a good dynamic website. While you're at it, why don't you make a website in C++, or Pascal, or even Assembly?!

A friend of mine actually programmed a simple dynamic page in C.

It's possible and not too hard really. It's just rarely done.

I didn't know trying to convince one person that PHP is better for web programming than Python would create so much drama (and mainly utter bullshit).

Screw those assholes below me, I'm not even assed to read their comment. I like PHP, I hate Python, I hope this site burns in hell.

PHP as a language is not fit for shitting upon. Python is only marginally better, but for entirely different reasons I don't expect a simpleton mouthbreather with his head up his ass to understand.

Don't worry, I was a simpleton mouthbreather with my head up my ass a few years ago too. You'll either get over it or die of methane inhalation.

Haha. Your entire "argument" is that you know PHP and Python is beyond you. You can't even name any language differences. Your lone bullet point against Python is that it "has a lot of libraries" -- ironically something PHP prides itself on, except done correctly.

Feel free to come back when you know something about language design.. or at least about the language you're criticizing.

By the way, the "assholes below [you]" are the people coding the next release of the FA software. :)

Better having modules to include than to have to re-compile PHP every time you need something extra. PHP has a vast base library, most of which I bet you don’t use when you’re making this or that web site, yet it’s all there. For example you might not use any kinda of XML or graphics processing. Maybe you will. Now in the other two things you can pretty dynamically extend what it knows about, PHP needs to be recompiled to know about things like GD2 (at least this was the case back in the days of PHP4 — never heard anyone mention that this has changed in PHP5, although they probably ship with GD2 now).

PHP has actually hindered me a couple times with the idiocies right there in the language (did I mention the variable “scoping” in PHP sucks?) and I have used it a couple times. Pretty much the only good score it gets is that it integrates stupidly well with Apache (and I guess IIS too), and therefore is the least painful to install, and is pretty damn ubiquitous. People don’t even think about exploring and learning anything better or just better designed (hello stupid conflicting naming conventions in the core libs), or more up-to-date (hello unicode), or more secure (hello mysql module), because they will notice they can’t use them, simply because every single webhost (much respect to the exception) seems to think that PHP is the only web language there is. It isn’t. Just as MySQL isn’t the only database out there.

And, <div> does not make the world go around though — it’s about /semantic/ HTML, not let’s-div-everything. I sincerely hope you meant the first one there. People not knowing HTML doesn’t mean they don’t know how to PHP — although the two things often go hand-in-hand, unfortunately.

As for C (let’s give the guy a little credit there), C++ and Pascal and Assembly? Gonna tell you: because they are not meant for the web world at all (although there’s nothing stopping you from writing a blazing fast, optimised C program to be run as a CGI…), where you have to process strings and access databases about 99% of the time.

Microsoft would never use something that isn’t homebrewn, especially not under the reign of Steve Ballmer. So they aren’t a good example really. NewGrounds? Good job, good for them. Never said that a PHP site has to suck. But just as you can pull out examples, I can too, even major players like Google. It’s not like noone uses those programming languages — which was the point, to show that they are being used, and not by small joke-sites either.

I'm sorry that you can't learn a language that they can hand to kids in Africa and they can pick it up easily (One Laptop Per Child program uses Python extensively).

And what do we do with all those libraries, caching with memcached, generic database access through sqlalchemy, ability to deploy on multiple web servers with paste, image modification through PIL, and so on and so on.

And finally, ASP and PHP are different languages completely made by different groups. Yes, you don't need classes and polymorphism to make a dynamic website, but they for damn sure make it easier to maintain.

And you might not see it yet but alot of planning has gone into how this rewrite is gonna work so that when it comes out, it's gonna be awesome

Your ineptitude does not apply to the rest of the industry. Those of us who didn't already know Python are picking it up remarkably fast, in no small part due to its similarity to deep, fully-featured, solid languages we already knew -- like Perl. I fail to see how your shortcomings will have any effect on the speed with which we develop Ferrox.

You made it clear you don't have a damn clue what you're talking about when I argued you to a pulp on the forums. Your opinions on other languages are worthless, as you have clearly taken barely any time at all to investigate them. If you were really that lost with Python, a language designed from the ground up to be easy to learn, then you are a damn horrible programmer, and I sincerely hope I never have to use whatever godawful code you pump out.

We have amassed a group of intelligent and creative coders who actually know what the hell they're doing -- something I have yet to see in the PHP community. We are actually going to use better, cleaner, more robust, more maintainable technology than lots of print() statements and raw SQL -- something else I rarely see in the PHP community, and in particular cannot see coming from you.

You are the sort of programmer ruining the industry, thinking that anything a braindead monkey can do must be the BEST way because it's "easy".
You are the sort of programmer who thinks the easiest way, rather than the simplest way, is best.
You are the sort of programmer who thinks easy and simple are the same thing.
You are the sort of programmer who copies and pastes rather than using loops and hashes.
You are the sort of programmer who writes increasingly long and bizarre function names rather than using namespaces and closures.
You are the sort of programmer who doesn't bother with a template language because PHP already is one.
You are the sort of programmer who writes obtuse regular expressions to protect against SQL injection because prepared statements are arcane magic to you.
You are the sort of programmer who would just have the whole team hack on a single copy of the codebase.
You are the sort of programmer with no imagination and no drive to learn or improve, who thinks that if basic tools can technically accomplish a task, then there is no reason to seek out or use better tools.

You are the sort of programmer who would build the mess of a codebase we have today, and that is exactly why we want a different sort of programmer. We want to create something amazing, and we are going to use amazing tools and amazing people to do it. Get over your butthurt; we don't want you.

I know people who write everything in PHP, even stuff that would be better fit in most other languages.

It's not pretty. Ironically, the same people tell me that PHP is way faster than Java... when benchmarking sites have proved that JSP (Java server pages) beats the shit out of PHP and is lots faster. I'm not sure how Perl does performance wise, but I don't really care about what stuff is programmed in, as long it scales well and works nicely.

I'm not too fond of PHP myself as it seems to encourage "hacks" and lazy programming in general, and PHP seems to be generally plagued by security problems. :/

And oh, I'm asking about Python performance... not Perl. Stupid me.

Perl has long been the fastest of the scripting languages. Not sure if that's still current, but that's the last stat I saw.

Python is pretty damn speedy, though; probably fast enough to replace C for a GUI language, save for anything super-performance-critical.

I have a bias towards C-like languages (C, C++ and Java) for GUI applications, but I admit that I have seen programmes programmed with Python... that works excellent!

I'm a bit split over Perl, even if I hadn't used it much. It seems to be a quite powerful scripting language (lots of my favourite sites are programmed within it), but lots of people also abuses it's syntax to create unreadable code. :P

I do have a few issues with various design decisions in Python, but they were at least made very carefully and deliberately. I guess I just like Wall more than Guido. It's a solid language, though. I'm starting to try out wxPy; much much MUCH easier to deal with than wxWidgets with C++, and can be "compiled" easily.

Perl is, well, Perl. The people who write bad Perl either learned it wrong or would write the same bad code in any language (it's just a lot more obvious in Perl). It's definitely not a language for everyone, but it's not an automatic hairy mess either.

Mmm, good point about bad code in Perl. If you write code that is hard to read, you're either having no idea what you're dong or is attempting at optimizing the code before it's even finished and thinks squeezing code tightly together makes it more effecient... Probably not a language I plan to work too much with unless I am forced to.

...and my preferred scripting language is a really obscure one too. There's not too many who uses squirrel...

Then again, C and C++ are a little braindead about using libraries, while in Python and Perl you just import/use whatever and that’s all. That already makes stuff a whole lot easier on the hair.

I found Python for Qt programming really damn good, and indeed fast (to develop and to run the thing too) — and it’s easy (and now really obvious) to make things really structured and modular. It seems it’s pretty much a feature of the language, to make you want to break your software down into manageable pieces. Coding in Perl+Gtk2 at work, Perl doesn’t quite make this modularisation as easy as I had hoped (the object system being a sort of hack on the language, rather than “true” support, I guess) — unfortunately my coworkers don’t know Python, so I’ve avoided PyGtk2 so far.


I wish I had more time, I would have applied to Ferrox :| With work and school around, I literally have none.

Yeah, the object system is a clever hack. There are lots of CPAN modules that wrap the clever hackery into a nice little bundle, though, with varying levels of flexibility and performance.

Once you get used to it, though, it makes sense and doesn't take any time to write a blank class.

I hope you write a program some day, son.

Please die.

"if they made it in PHP it would have been as good if not better and it would be done by now"

So, PHP-man. Where's your fully-completed, maintainable, safe, secure, rapidly-developed PHP-based furaffinity killer? C'mon. Bust the fuck out.

Oonyah! I congradulations! I hope flying solo won't be too overwhelming, but I know you can handle it. D: your a very tough mon.

If I ever win the lottery, I'll make a tidy donation to FA =3. D: Man I wish I would win the lottery.

Well, congrats, 'neer. I've been here since the "new" FA got up back in December 2005, and saw the submissions jump from about 200 a day to now over 1000 a day. Yeah, it's had its drama of 503s and 500s, the site disappearing and the "hackings", but I've stayed here through thick and thin.

Again, congrats on the purchase, 'neer. ;)

AND THUS PORN RAINED FROM THE SKY!
And the peasants rejoiced.

Hehe, FA Owner has a nice ring to it. X3
Well, the site is in good hands!

cool

i give ya a round of applause, everything can start out as an idea ro a dream..heak before i came here..i could bare lift a pen..i still cant X3 i like mouses best. I would have never met the one who would help my wings grow and spread to soar me to new heights, never met such happy kind fureinds and wackyness here, and i would never have me to love of my life..
dreams and ideas are one thing, making them alive is another

in after an hero

Right on, Dragoneer. Right on. Take care.

Funny.. When I first came here I thought you WERE the owner of the site XD.

Warm welcomes into new leadership, and Old owners. Everyone is welcome here, Congratulations, and salutions.

Now, now... New leadership calls for some nakid flameys don't you agree?

Congradulations hun =^______^=
*hugs ya*

Congo-ratz! :D

With your admins combined.... The power is YOURS!

Heart attack......

Anyway... Congrats and YAY!!!!! ^^

Congratulations! Rule with wisdom... and patience. :)



Mark

I know you'll do a great job taking care of things as Dragon King :)

Congrats, let me know if any other help is needed.

Dragoneer being one of my favorite people on the internets this means YAY!

I'm just wondering if he will be ruling with an iron paw.

Congrats.

Congrats dude^^
I know you'll keep everything running smotth^^

Long live Dragoneer, king of Fur Affinity. =^^=

Congrats man! :D

gratz :D

What has science doooone!

Congrats, ye purple lizard thingie :P

Seriously though, do we need to start leaving virgin sacrifices to you or something? Wait, I forgot, there are no virgins on the internet X3

*laughs and laughs and laughs and...*

Congrats on becoming head of FA, I look forward to future improvements on the site. ^.=.^

congrats on the deal..lets hope in the long run it will make us even better *hugs and kisses and cuddles*..btw..love your art keep it up

yay congratz *lead owner hug*

Hehe, congrats Dragoneer! i wish you best luck holding this website firm and uphold!

No more server hijacks or demands for a mold fund, yey.

A more reliable owner is a good thing. :)

And we all breath a sigh of relief. Congrats

Congrats to you, Dragoneer! I don't think the server could be in better hands, honestly. =3

And green tea is good. Not only is it healthy, but it also tastes good. ;3

Yay! It's official now. =3

Purple fuck stick is now head purple fuck stick? *puts on anal bum cover*

And I for one welcome our new digimon overlords.

Congratulations! ^^

Most excellent, and congratulations! I seem to remember a bit of controversy about this . ear;oer. but I personally think you are a great choice for site owner, and will be fair and upstanding.

Most excellent, and congratulations! I seem to remember a bit of controversy about this . earlier. but I personally think you will make a great site owner, and will be fair and upstanding.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa*runs out of breath and collapses*

XD

Congrats! :3

Congrats!

*clapping* congrates

You were practically the owner, now you just own it on paper. Congrats. Better you than Alkora (especially after his last little stunt).

Congrats Dragoneer :)

Yeehah! :D

I know you'll keep the site just great! I'm gonna watch you, just for no reason. =D

Congratz!^^

How does it feel to be the owner of one of the biggest furry communitys on the interwebz?

You're almost through with surviving china, now comes the next level, survive FA as owner. =p But I'm sure you can handle it with all claws and teeth.

Like a new change of interface and coding. :P

I should've gotten a cut :(

Congratulations. :)

wow...lol...i saw how much it costs to host it here..good luck xD and you have the right look for owner lol ;D

Well congrats to you chief. ^^ This calls for some oversized dragoneer porn!

Congrats :) wish I could say more than that.

Thanks for all yer hard work!!!!!

Great! I can't wait to here more. Keep this going till my son grows up and get him here. X3

599 US DOLLARS

well congrats on your promotion dragoneer so whats the first thing your gonna do as chairman of FA

Hooray! Congrats to ya. ^^

Great! Does this mean you will finaly add more critters to the list and either PERMINANTLY disable the search or fix it?

That's great news duder. You've done a WHOLE LOTTA good stuff for this site and it's all GREATLY appreciated. ^_^

Whoa man, ownership of a site this big is a great responsibility.
Congrats

Wow oh wow congratulations!!

Dragoneer, a big thank you for keeping this community alive despite drama, idiots, retards, trolls,etc..etc..etc..

Congratulations, and good luck. I hope the spirit of openness and hospitality to others continues.

woot! ^.=.^

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

LET THE ENLIGHTENMENT PERIOD COMMENCE

Clearly the banner will get a giant 'neer wang, the color theme will be purple/yellow and being straight will get you banned!

And so I herd all future donations will go forth to financing a Dragoneer inflatable suit from Pretty Pervy.





















lol good luck :3

There will be cake!

all hail dragoneer *bows* no really mate congrats to you mate

cartman said it best...

Sweeeet

Grats there ^^ and thx :P

Congrats on the Site Ownage hun.You are now Captain of Furaffinity.

>w>......

<w<......

..Shall we commence fire on Deviantart & Sheezyart Sir?*salutes*

XD lol jkjkjk

I can't think of anyone else who I trust more to run this site then you.

You've already done so much, and we've all come to trust you.

Eglerio! Eglario! Dragoneer!

D.O.P.R

So.. Dictator for Life Dragoneer?

*hugs* Congrads! You deserve this i think, and im glad Alkora is concentrating on his studies now. Hopefully he will be less stressed.

ps. How the hell do you manage all these comments? XD. You must get like 3-400 of them per journal.

*salutes

*gets on knees and bows

*builds a golden dragoneer

Time will tell whether this is a wise investment.

Congrads ^_^ Just please make sure this change in ownership doesn't effect the sites' preformance or the rules like with happens at EVERY website when ownership changes. You seem like a rather level headed one though, so I doubt you'll be the undoing of this site. To many more good years in the hands of a dragon thats done so much to keep it afloat through all the hard times =)

~N~

I'd send you a card about this, but I'm sure it'd be just like me: Blank inside 8) <3

Great owrk :3

Wow, awesome. I think I'll go donate now. ;)

DRAGONEER IS IN THE HIZOUSE!!! Way to go bro.

Mazeltov!

because there are WAY too many comments to read, and I am sorry in advance.. but any idea if there are plans to make the site faster? At peak times, this site crawls....

So many comments... XP

This is really cool! And it was just today as I was practicing to get s scholarship for college. This day truly is memorable!

Somehow I had thought that it had already occurred as some sort of under-the-table affair. Apparently not.

(not that I think there is anything wrong with the underside of a table)

does this mean that there will be more penises everywhere on the site? :O

Congrats and Thank You Lord Dragoneer!!

*Hugs* Grats mister!!!!!!

black mold?

yaaay... now put up teh search so I can search for some more "Purple Dragon" pics >w>

Yay! Congrats, hon! *giggles* Though the title of the post darn near gave me a heart attack! =P

DUUUUUDE!!! XD

W-Wait.
I thought
Didn't you already

OH WELL CONGRATULATIONS ON OWNING FA. A-AGAIN.

I'm sure FA will only continue to prosper and grow! :]

Wooo! :D

Your icon is cute

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Im sorry but I just bought furaffinity, wif my piggybank money!

Good luck! Hope things go well and the site continues to become even better!
I'm sure you hear tons of complaints so let me just take this moment to say that I'm grateful to have a great community like FA to share our creativity! Thanks for all your hard work!

Bravo! Thanks for all your hard work and dedication! A lot of people love this site. :) I know it usually makes my day better.

Great job!

Congradulations, and good luck. I'm sure you'll have lots of fun. :)

May we invest in FA stocks?

:D
:D

AWESOME
Dragoneer, you ROCK

Awesome. congrats, and keep up the great work, Drag!!

"I wish to be among the 237th to welcome our Dragon overlord...."

Its a tremendous responsibility and I hope that you'll continue to push this site in a good direction. I don't know whether to congratulate you or send you a bottle of Tylenol. ;3

Thanks to you and Alkora for stickin with it through these years. ^_^

Well yay! Congrats.. to both of you. I'm sure Alkora has gone through enough over this domain as well, so it's probably a break to him on top of this. Much luck to both and to FA for the future.. I'm sure we'll all need it!

Well, Congradulations ^^

I wonder how much will change...! ^--^ As long as the rules are strictly followed!
I just hope things don't go abit crazy! X_X
I guess I should find a better way to congrat you ^___^

Congrats, Dragoneer. ^_^

alright, now the kingdom is all YOURS!!!

Congraturation! Enjoy all the warm fuzzies until they're replaced with more hard work! xD

Really though, what differences will you now face?

Dragoneer's the Owner of FA??? (I have a bad feeling about this...)
Nahh, just kidding... gunna take a screenshot of how the site looks today and compare it with Drag's changes later, just for the sake of it XP

Well done, you!

Hey Dragoneer,

The folks over at Yiffstar and I wish you the best. It's awesome to see you as the owner now.

Righty-o, man. Righty-o.

WOW Congrats man =)
so I guess we should call you the bossman now huh ;D

Damn, this comment is gonna be lost in the sea of comments, but congrats! That's gotta be pretty exciting. :3

The fact that you have a Mitch Hedberg quote there assuages all doubts I might have had about you as a site owner and individual. Those wise in the ways of Mitch are wise indeed. ;)

Congrats Kiddo!

Congratulations. And hope you can get with it, since it will be difficult.

The destiny of dragons as the rulers of the world starts with the intraweb XP

So what was the pricetag

Look how far down I am!

LIIIIMBO! How loooow can you gooooo?!

I totally out-limboed y'all.

Anyway, glad to see it didn't go to some random person, as I thought when I read the title. And bonus points, because not only are you not random; you have a brain or two!

Congratz on being the owner of FA~!. Our fate is in your hands now =D. Great Power comes Great Responsibility~ Are you up for it =D. *giggles* Who am i kidding. GRATZ!!!! *jumps around for joy*

grootz~

Good luck dealing with the millions of inevitable notes, e-mails and shouts complaining about site stability. :3

Well wishes to you both. First for setting up and running a 1st class, moderators-in-the-background, furry site. Secondly for making a bloodless transition of ownership. Usually transitions of ownership are occasions for the walls to become blood-splattered and memberships splitting into hostile factions. That you and Alkora did it with no observable drama or kicking says a lot about both of you.

As I said to a member of the FA staff that I met at AC in Pittsburgh this year, "I am proud to be a member of Fur Affinity" -- and it's people like you two that are a good reason for that.

Fur Affinity




*neon sign turning on sound*



"A AOL Time Warner Company"

"What's the first thing you're going to do as FA owner?"
"EBAY!"

Shop VICTORIOUSLY my friend! 8DDDDD

Congrats, Dragoneer! Looking forward to more fun and surprises in the future!

Congrats! I have to thank FA for getting me back into doing Furry art again.:)

Wow, that's really cool! I am shure that you can handel the big resonceability of makeing shure the site runs corretly. I can't wait to see waht you've got planned for the future!

Congratulations my friend. May she turn out like you want her to be :)

Congrats on pulling it off.

Uh oh! FA just got 0wned! By Dragoneer!

Seriously, this makes me happy, dude. Yaaay :)

=D
