Since it wasn't given by the administrators of the site: Yes, that is indeed my character Secret portraited on the latest december's FA banner, why is he there?
The reason is the charity auction that was held 3 years ago for
catwolf and
endenden that allowed them to marry together and granted me more than half of my gallery (and potentially, the reason why Secret is so hated XD) also granted me the oportunity of featuring my character on one of FA's banners. Patience is a virtue or so they say, so after that much time the offering to have him on one of December's banners was given and offered it to
ifus
Many thanks to her and I ask everyone goes to her profile and congratulate her for such great work and kindness. And my apologizes for those who aren't to fond of Secret :p

Anyway, thanks for the explanation here, man. :)
(waitwut)
Though on a side note, I do respect the explanation. Just not the idea of buying friendships and popularity via "generous donations" and the like.
Sorry to babble so much to you, I'm really tired and seemingly went off on a tangent!
But on the subject of precedent, I don't know anyone else who's been ripped on NEARLY as much as Secret has based on how often he commissions others and/or for the subject matter of those commissions. Though that may be because I get out a bit TOO much, hahaha.
But it did make me go "huh wait that's Secret!" lol
I don't think you should even have to explain yourself.
I dunno.. I just cannot begin to fathom why the fandom cares about 80% of the shit it does.
I for one think the banner was beautifully done. I love the snow in it and it looks very amazing!
Why you so mad?
I think you're jelly :3
So no, I'm not a form of pudding :<
Keep within the lines next time you pick up a colouring book, k?
I'm THE monglor :3
Much like your I.q
<_____>
You're 28 and hang about FA
I'd hurry up and find someone before your ovaries give up for good
But obviously not as hard as this anal upside down pineapple cake looking man\ woman\ child\ tom\ dick\ harry.
Is this because your ability to draw gave up on you?
D'aw, diddums.
Assburgers all round!
That's a clear sign of aspergers dear, that autistic spectrum is welcoming you.
No but really, my drawing is awesome why you so jelly?

Repeating ones-self and the ones they're talking to only shows the true capabilities.
So if this were the era of HenryVIII, you'd have been shipped back off to the turncoat, shitfest you came from.
AKA YOU FAIL.
The fat chick thats mad because her furry friends dumped her for Secret.
I should stop talking to you now, you're actually a bi polar bear :<
They're coming to take you away! AH-HA!
I'm male
Try again dear, everyone knows monglor is male hahahahah
I heard, if you eat less and move more... it helps, k
I don't eat sweet things dear.
It's why my HP1AC is 5.2
So mad?
:3
So thats what the heroin addicts are disguising it as.
When you randomly jab yourself in the side, do you always tell the people "Erm, it's Double beetus..."
Gotcha.
Pity +10
Did you fail science?
You reallllly need to step it up, my grandads dying of cancer turn that into an insult at least!
come on realllly, you've fallen into all the cliche troll retorts.
gender, age, sexuality, weight.
I really think at 28 you should have some more wit and guile that you currently do

You are the biggest outcast of society, ever.
You need jesus, cyanide and alcohol in your life.
Oh and for a guy, your drawing of the male phallus is piss poor.
TRY AGAIN!
Art insult
come on please I even gave you ammo there!
Just please make an actual insult!
I drink enough, I have a massive wang.. the norse pantheon called it the midgard serpent and even thor couldn't kill it :<
Please, next time you reply at least try and phase me :3
I'm a class 1 troll.
you're not even 4chan level yet dear, I can give you some tips though?
http://i.imgur.com/8WCcD.png
I think my drawing fits you well, you're 28 and sat on FA trying to get in secrets pants, I just started the crimbo break for my Law degree <3
I was right though, you ARE that chick that I mentioned earlier.
Why are you trying to hide behind the big box of Krispy Insults
I pinpointed what you are a long time ago, a 'Mentalcase'
Good luck on the law degree, you'll need the info to get yourself out of broadmoor.
you keep pulling the same tired insults out dear.
wha aye man?
You seem pyar mad lid, bet ya ma just can't handle the fact ya sisters a dog.
Ok so If I lived in texas, I'd hail the texan accent the minute I stepped off the plane would I
Cool, I think I'll do that.
Always liked the texans :3
But anyways, you're fat. End of.
You lost long ago.
Smelly geordies being subhuman.
;3;
Why are you such a shit person? You're supposed to live with friends, but the fact of the matter is you live in a shed at the bottom of your mothers council estate garden, living on handouts from the british red cross.
You need to be happy, it is close to xmas after all! Much time to spend with the family, 'cept for you it'll be minus one :(
Human nature levels up!
You need to buck up the insults!
Honestly, nothing you've said has been funny. You try way too hard.
You're not a troll, you're just a immature 28 year old with delusions of grandeur :3
Must be why you hang around with a 27 year old spic who buy pictures of himself crotch deep in any popular female artist he can.
<3
Merry sexmas
Why did you delete the other account saying you weren't going to come on FA anymore, because and I quote 'I will leave the fandom because my 3 friends won't talk to me, 1 is in the army, one doesn't talk to me and the other has ignored me for secret.'
Sounds like the suicide note of a butthurt he-bitch.
Oh and fingering your pet cat is not acceptable in society, ok
It's still there
Yet again, massive fail on your part dear :3
Everyone loves me, still do.
You need to try hardddder my cat is at the parents house not mine thehehehhe :'3
It's brilliant.
Do tell me more :D
So er, you ARE that girl huh.... why say you're a man with a massive wang
Figured, I'd call myself a man too if I were that ugly.
Oh well, this conversation clearly show's you're a 1st class, law degree abiding citizen.
Oh and the reason why people don't pay you for that spasmodically retarded scribble you call drawing, is because It's shit. Simples!
Secret i presume showed you a picture of someone and you're insulting them.
I can now tell said person about this and it will affect secret.
Again with the art.
If you want me dear you can find me on mon1or on skype.
I hope you are more insulting soon.
Ask nicely and ye shalt get an answer!
In the meantime, might I suggest you get snakebites and more lip piercings.. so theres more holes to shove even MORE pies into your mouth.
You're thinking of someone else thehehehh

The wannabe troll fails so resorts to BAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
Are you on the blob? One seems rather angry.
If you want to try again without making a fool of yourself with boring repetative retorts and insults you know where to find me sexy face.
you are nobody
Cry more, :)
Secret is really awesome and smexy char, and the banner is nicely done, so why hating? Wouldn't it be normal to see chars/people around and socializing? Even I have pics with Fender :P - then why not you? x3
Stay epic and happy holidays! *snuggle*
I believe if we were hating we'd say the banner was terribad and the artist should be shot, but instead we are stating it's not allowed by the rules.
No wait, there are no rules. FA makes up its own shit and does whatever it pleases.
Have fun :3
In addition, FA chooses it's banner, so they probably wouldn't choose the one that is not 'alowed by the rules', right?
- I too mentioned this and referred to people who make big fuss about something they shouldn't and apriori to even knowing what's even happening. I would fav Dipper's comment if that was possible!
I don't want to offend anyone or make any drama about it - i saw that this way: 'there's probably a reason why and i'll try to find out why' - and found this explenation.
Stay well :3
For December, we're going to be rotating banners out every few days to celebrate the holidays! This will give quite a few people a chance to get noticed.
Requirements: Must be 525x125 pixels.
Must contain either of the mascots (Fender or Rednef). Please do not include admins in the banner, but a personal character is welcome so long as they're not the focus (e.g. in the background). MUST be PG-13, should be fun and expressive, and relevant to Winter (as opposed to just Christmas).
Just upload it with the keyword WinterBanner2011. While we can't use every banner submit, we'll pick those we feel are represent the spirit of the community.
Not taking Secret's side, but it's not breaking the rules :3
so long as they're not the focus (e.g. in the background).
I'm Piles the beaver, hey.
But I think the general point the OP was making was that only fender and rednef should be in the banner.
But ok yeah, secret is pretty mighty in the foreground, Secret and Fender should be swapped out at least. Ifus' position is fine there
SecreT has enough money and enough popularity to do whatever he wants within the fandom - Thats a given.
I just want to see if this is a stint of favoritism within the FA Staff (which is not at all something I would doubt) or if they'll afford other less known people the same opportunity.
I am a firm believer that all this community is anymore is one big fucking popularity contest. The fandom as a whole has lost so much of what it used to have. Like, anymore it seems like it's about who has the monies to get the most art from the best artists around, who can suck up to who is popular to get into those "A-list groups" and who can suck it the most. It is obviously a favoritism thing because everyone and their mother knows who SecreT is because he has shelled out so much money that he might as well be sponsored or some shit to sell Wheaties. So I would bet if you invested thousands of dollars into the best artwork you could find you too would become insta-popular like SecreT and the others like him that have done the same. This site seems to hate the little people that, ya know, make the site what it is :3
Yay for love of the little people <3
On the other hand though, I'm not even huge on anthros and this site is so much more welcoming than DA for example.
The community here really is closer and more friendly.
I've been browsing this site a long time that the "Popular contest" grew into my mind as what everyone here is trying to do. Yes i do know people join this site for fun though (and for porn)
Are you stoned?
(The stoned wasn't serious :3)
kay, so when paris hilton MURDERS someone, she won't go to prison.
good to know.
She's most likely spent most of her fortune on drugs
But lets say she did, my guess is unless the evidence is downright conclusive she'd get manslaughter and post bail.
But this argument is irrelevant seeing as I said "SecreT has enough money and enough popularity to do whatever he wants within the fandom."
if anyone else had done a banner with their character front and center, it would have been rejected. it's a double standard.
sorry dude >_>
For the love of god, YES, FA IS ALLOWED TO MAKE UP ITS OWN SILLY RULES AND THEN BRAKE THEM It's their god damn site to do with as they please. Are you that damn DAFT to suggest otherwise?! Are you saying this is some kind of .gov rub by the people, for the people?
NO. IT'S A GOD DAMN SECRET (trollface.jpg) CLUBHOUSE.
DON'T LIKE IT?Leave.
Your cross-analogy is completely fucked on the basis that my entire comment was based around FA NOT being a publicly owned or responsible website.
But I'll agree with you, its not at all a responsible website.
No matter how much you think this site owes you, it doesn't.
No matter how much you think Dragoneer owes you for you gracing this website with your bloated prescience, hogging up the bandwidth so you can fap to porn and bitch about someone being more popular then you, in all you infinite generosity, he doesn't.
This site doesn't have to cater to anyone and is reliant upon virtually no one. This website is responsible for no one.
FA does not give a shit about someone unless they're popular based on a rank that is given through a combination of watches, favorites, and views.
Someone that no one knows or cares about says an opinion? Fuck that cunt, he gets banned for harassment.
Someone that's been on the site for at least a year and either whores his character out for cheap porn or is the one who draws cheap porn, thus earning a high amount of people stalking his page for something to fap to, they say an opinion: Praised, buttpats, and anyone who opposes them is hunted down and torn to shreds.
Now you're absolutely right, I DON'T have to be on this site, and the site does not cater to me. But you don't seem to understand what you're talking about, so let me explain.
You see those ads up there? Yea, everytime someone sees them or clicks them, Dragoneer gets a bit of money based off of how many people visit the site, and therefore see/click those ads. This is called "Ad Revenue" and it is the main bloodline that the majority of sites use to keep themselves alive, this is no different.
Now, you're totally right, no one has an obligation to stay here. But, if enough people DO leave, guess what happens?
By the way, nice fat joke coming from some elephant shemale.
I lolbahahab to your assumption I don't understand ad revenue. Apparently you don't understand the 'virtually' in 'virtually no one.' Yes. There is a wonder cycle whereupon visiting a website enables future visiting of that website. That doesn't mean that 3 people can leave a website furevor, after being butthurt over a silly banner they can easily block [which is why I don't see ads :D amazing.] and the ship will sink. Sorry. You and your cohort up there aren't going to derail the website like some kind of Occupy (or maybe in your case, PinkiePie) Furaffinity lulzy fail.
And I'm glad you not only read too much in to one word (lol - bloat = fat joke), but also in to my character. Or maybe not enough. I really don't give a flying fuck one way or the other, but she's a herm, not a shemale.
Well judging by this statement you believe that if someone has not given anything like art or asskissing to anyone in this site then you believe they should be banned.
Wow, nice job making yourself look like an arrogant bitch. I sincerely wonder the ethics or authority you have in telling lower people how worthless in society they are.
You probably go to the blind homeless and drop dog shit in their change cans.
I'm officially ending this conversation since you're a bigger selfish cunt than a prostitute monopolizing the red light district in NYC.
Apparently you know just enough about exaggerating the point for the sake of showing how absurd it is not to quote that part of my statement.
Yes. If the fucker is harassing people, and all he seems to be doing is harassing people, then yes, why should he get a second chance or thought? The likelihood of him just being a troll is nigh astronomical.
You think it's impossible for someone with a lot of art to get banned? Go look up Lupine Assassin and choke on it.
I find it hi-lar-io-us that you all but call yourself lower than me. Adorable. But no. I don't run in to many homeless. Last one, I gave a 10 dollar bill to and kept walking. I didn't stop to stick my nose in the air. I don't consider being generous something to be proud of. Or crucified for, which is what you want to do to Secret.
Lupine Assassin? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA..................yes, the one who got himself banned for threatening DMCAs on FA, which caused a fued between him and Neer for, it's been 5 years? Yea, great example.
Justifying yourself based on my calling you out for being a selfish prick? Sounds like your nose is far up in the clouds. Also, I could care less about Secret, I never mentioned him personally. I simply stated that the banner is against the rules, so you go all hostile because apparently the FA staff are entitled to do as they please.
You took something from "the rules were broken and they got away with it," which is something they've done for AGES and people bitch about it, to something along the lines of "fursecuting a popufag because he has money and people like him"
How the fuck you can take objective reasoning and turn it into an accusation against someone more privelaged, I don't know, but you sound stupid and you are giving me a headache.
Go away.
You keep using the phrase "private website."
It's private? But it's in public domain. Wow, does that mean it's a public website? I think so! WOW I just realized! You're a fucking dumbass.
You're funny and you have a big trunk.
Augh, EXACTLY! This this THIS a thousand fucking times and over. Thank god someone here gets it.
It's not the fact that people are 'LOL JELLY' that it's not their character, the fact that it's a 500x whatever pixel picture up for less than a week. It's what it SIGNIFIES that matters, and what it signifies is that it IS against the rules, that the admins DO make "acceptions" when they chose to. It's the principal of it, not the object itself.
And knowing is half the battle!
G.I. Joooooeee
Haha, nah... but it's pretty cool to see him up there. Since I'm sure most of us recognize him from other art pieces in the past.
I think you have an excellent fursona, and a great personality.
He's just some Red XIII ripoff.
I frequently visit a particular artist's livestream where SecreT is a mod and is usually there when I am. He is UNBELIEVABLY arrogant, condescending and egotistical.
He will flat out ignore you talking DIRECTLY to him if you are not a popufur like him, or the stream artist themself.
He seemingly even goes out of his WAY to be an asshole, insulting people for little things like asking a 'stupid' question about the artist, or for talking about pokemon & about liking pokemon or something else equally asinine and then make you out to be some retarded asshat who can't tell derp from herp. In the past he's even driven viewers out of the artists' stream, for no obvious REASON other than the fact that he was in a bad mood and could.
He's nice to certain people only from what I've observed. To most of us he's flat out RUDE. Period, in every sense of the word. And if you'd take the time to watch a little more closely, you'd see that too.
Dark Place is my favorite.
But it's cool to see your fursona on the banner :)
For example, he must work out and eat right to get a nice bod like that, which makes some people wish they had a nice body (and probably could with exercise) It's not his fault they're rude but it is decisions he's actively made
But it's silly to talk about I dunno why it matters XD
How are you :o
And I'm good, just this month sucks in rl so far. Cold outside
I lol'd when I saw your character up there, had to do a double take.
This is also the first picture of secret without his penis out, fact!
....Filthy spaniard hoar.
yea the thought was nice on their part, but actually doing it was dumb as hell
good consideration
bad going through it
"Must contain either of the mascots (Fender or Rednef). Please do not include admins in the banner, but a personal character is welcome so long as they're not the focus (e.g. in the background). MUST be PG-13, should be fun and expressive, and relevant to Winter (as opposed to just Christmas)."
All it says is that NO ADMINS should be in the banner, and personal characters are welcome. Now, I know it also says they are not supposed to be the focus, but Secret is not the MAIN focus gere, as Rednef is also there in the main focus spot. People are just making him the main focus, by making a big deal out of it.
Also, I have not seen any kind of rules posted before about it being against the rules to post personal characters in the banner, so if you know a place to find that please link me.
Even if there is a general rule that personal characters should not be in the banner, it is FA's website, and it is up to them if they ever want to make a special circumstance which allows it. In this case, the special circumstance is that Secret won an auction, which included his appearance as part of the deal. Maybe it was an offer made before they ever made a ruling saying that personal characters could not be in the focus of a banner, but if that were the case it would be pretty shitty to promise that to someone, and then take that promise away.
Do you watch south park at all? Just off the top of my head, there is an episode of South Park called Red Man's Greed which features the voice of a guy named Alex Glick. Alex Glick won a fan voice appearance in the show by winning a charity auction. He had a very brief and small role in the episode. Now look at this banner, it will be gone in a couple days - Secret won the auction, got offered his role, took it up, and it will come and go. There is no reason for people to be flipping out over it, or ripping him to pieces as a person about it.
it's a double standard, and shows that all the admins here are biased towards those that are more "famous".
They chose what they chose if you don't like it then tough love. There are plenty of ways to change the banner too.
UNREAL I SAY!
:O
Only the hooligans in this here country know this, and that includes me.
:3 <--- Subliminal catface.
I don't think it'll generate as much butthurts as when the MLP banner was up a few months back though.
But at least I got to learn more about how you got so popular so fast reading this journal I don't see anything wrong with that plus secret's a good looking character.
So this.
I really don't see the point xD
Sexytimes.
I sex wee'd a little
I thought the banner quite cute and playful which is why I'm sure it was chosen.
So grat's :3
And sorry the haters made you feel like you had to explain for yourself.
Now if he was a total asshole to everyone and was really arrogant and conceded I could understand the hate (and wouldn't blame people for it.)
it's not about the banner.
it's not about secret.
it's about the hypocrisy of the admins and the owner of this goddamn site.
From the stand point of hypocrisy, I can understand your annoyance. People will always have favoritism, its unavoidable in human nature but thank you for stating a real reason for note liking the banner.
however.
the fact that dragoneer posted a banner that breaks the rules of this contest demonstrates to me that he cares more for the popular artists than everyone else. had anyone else come to dragoneer with their character front and center in a banner, it would have been rejected.
and this isn't the first time dragoneer has been biased like this. just a week or two ago, he unbanned another popular artist, who has a reported history of bigotry, trolling, and harassment.
Good on you with the banner
spicebutthurt must flow...Mostly at the stupidity of the people bitching about some rule on a contest.
IT'S NEER'S WEBSITE, FFS.
Secret didn't create the banner.
What is a popular fur? Someone who makes a banner.
Who makes the banners? Popufurs. It's circular. Drop it.
The banner was accepted before the contest was even deiced.
Again. Neer's website. He didn't need to make the rule in the first place.
Cheers.
Popfur=someone who is popular on the site
take a look at all the 'popfurs' in there
Reading those two comments make me seriously doubt anything else you say just on pure principle. Coupled with you thinking that secret is an artist...
It sounds like a great bit of no-research.
I don't see how any rules were broken. Secret is not the focus of the banner, he is there WITH Rednef yes, but he is not the main focus. People are MAKING him the focus.
But the first mistake he made was having lots of money.
People tend to eat the rich.
And I'd like their names so I can ask them to run for government positions.
And utterly meaningless.
I mean, seriously. It evokes a sickening, stupid, wanna-be-Zen like mindset without actually having any sort of substance.
"SHAME ON THESE PEOPLE FOR WORKING FOR MONEY.
THEY SHOULD DO EVERYTHING FOR THE PRICE I DECIDE.
WHICH IS FREE. EVERYTHING ELSE IS SO DISHONORABU."
Bravo! Did you even read the comments before that? I'd really like to know if its reading comprehension you lack or control of yourself when you're frustrated
Let me clear this up for you,
Siroc and I were discussing how SecreT is able to get artists to draw things they've specifically stated they wont draw and how after the deed is done the artists continue to say they will not draw what they drew for SecreT. My comment comes after my question of if any artists have turned SecreT down when he asked for art they already said they wouldn't do and Siroc's reply which pointed out that not many furries come from a well off background and it'd be rare to find such a person.
The comment is about not being bribed or "persuaded" to do something you already said you did not want to do.
There's nothing "zen" about it.
"SHAME ON THESE PEOPLE FOR WORKING FOR MONEY"
"to do something you already said you did not want to do."
"EVERYTHING ELSE IS DISHONORUB"
No. I think I nailed your vapid shit right on the head.
Maybe Secret is a nice guy? Maybe he asks in a nice way?
Maybe, just maybe, you give too much a fuck about what your neighbor is doing.
Now you're just making it sound like you're upset you can't get this kind of velvet rope treatment.
Either way, why does it matter to you?
I dont know Secret as a person, I dont have anything against him personally. I just dont like the way he operates.
It doesn't matter if he's nice or how he asks, its the fact that he asks in the first place after the artist has already said they will not do it.
Nice as people say he is, that shows complete disrespect to the artist. The fact that he gets his way is pretty much a slap in the face to anyone else who wanted the same thing, but out of respect for the artist, did not ask because they had already made it clear they wouldn't do it.
Honestly, I can kind of see SecreT as being a Lobbyist to mega-artists of FA. They go in thinking the have set boundaries, SecreT comes in, throws a wad of cash at them and "asks nicely" and then all of a sudden those boundaries are gone.
Maybe thats what gets to me and so many others. Its not the fact that he's popular or gets a lot of art, its the fact that he gets art from people who specifically told everybody "I will not do that."
This is going to be the last thing I explain to you, because honestly you put too much rage and not enough rational thought into your "arguments". Im tired of being attacked by you simply because we do not see eye-to-eye. Learn press your stance without bearing your teeth and acting like a child.
And if thats the argument you want to use, why not just say "If you offer me [this much] I'll consider doing this." rather than just saying outright "I won't draw this." and then drawing it because someone offered you a pretty penny?
Shame. Thats why. People don't like the notion of being a sellout, but man do they love what they get for being a sell out.
Here in lies the tragedy with SecreT. He opens the gates and then closes them behind him. I'm not saying he owes it to others to bribe an artist to abandon their creeds completely, but it doesn't do so well to
1: Ask when everybody has already been told "no."
2: Get what you asked for.
3: Post the results for all to see.
Just thinking of doing something like that makes me feel like an asshole.
Really, if you want the proof just rummage through his gallery. You'll see a lot of talk about "hidden relationships" which spawns from the fact that he gets artists to draw him things they've already said they wont draw.
Cheers. Oh yea, the beef mug has a tag of :coffee :
WHAT.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
Siroc, stop watching bukkake
BA-DOM-TSH!
:3
Keeps me entertained for a few hours XDD
congrats to you.
For someone who seems to believe he can end the conversation on a whim, you sure seem to be coming back.
For someone who is visiting someone's page for the sole purpose of trashing their actions, you seem intent for ME to 'Go away.'
But, just so we're straight on this, you believe that someone who hasn't done anything to make friends here should be shit on less than someone who has. And, again, you're stupid enough to think that I was being literal with the ban suggestion, even though I hope, pray, and assume you were joking in your first reply.
And when did I justify myself? I said you were a horrible fucking prick, and nothing much else, regarding what your big hub-bub about all this is.
What I took from "the rules were broken" was that you believe those rules were broken, and that they were even effectual in the first place. "they got away with it" leads me to believe that you honestly believe that there is some kind of "they" out there. Like there's some secret bunch of hacker-style admins who do dumb shit on purpose just to troll the website. No. Neer made the decision. Again, if you'd like to take it up against him, please do.
For the last time - Neer IS allowed to what HE pleases on HIS website. That is EXACTLY what I'm saying.
Stop it, you're being a moron.
The rest of us are just giving our opinions on the matter, harsh as some may be.
You DO understand that's why everybody is so mad.
Also:
I think its bold to claim that everyone who is in opposition to this is such for one reason. We aren't all jobless, we aren't all in places of financial struggle. Im sure if many of us wanted to get our characters drawn by different artists, we could. Whats got (most) people in such a bind here was this one person has yet again crossed a line no one else is allowed to cross. The medium by which he's done it isn't a big deal, its the fact that it happened again.
OH CHRIST MY SIDES!
>I think its bold to claim that everyone who is in opposition to this is such for one reason.
Really? Cause it sure does look like that's the ONLY reason to me from reading this tidal wave of comments, it always comes back to furry internet popularity.
>We aren't all jobless, we aren't all in places of financial struggle.
I am, shit sucks.
>I'm sure if many of us wanted to get our characters drawn by different artists, we could.
Pay them and I am pretty sure they will, in fact there are some artist who draw others for free!
>Whats got (most) people in such a bind here was this one person has yet again crossed a line no one else is allowed to cross.
A line so horrible and devastating that the very fabric of time and space would rip apart and be thrown into the abyss of darkness. The line of HE GOT DRAWN BY AN ARTIST *faints!*
>The medium by which he's done it isn't a big deal, its the fact that it happened again.
So in other words, your just saying everybody's mad he got drawn again.
TADA!!! JAZZ HANDS!
If you'll take time to read through all of the comments you'll see a few exact reasons as to why people are upset. You'll also get a laugh out of a few of them.
>I am, shit sucks.
Indeed. It also smells.
>Pay them and I am pretty sure they will, in fact there are some artist who draw others for free!
Great, thank you for agreeing with me.
>A line so horrible and devastating that the very fabric of time and space would rip apart and be thrown into the abyss of darkness. The line of HE GOT DRAWN BY AN ARTIST *faints!*
This is where you missed the target, nobody cares that he was drawn by Ifus. A bunch of people were drawn by Ifus, she's an amazingly talented artist and complete sweetheart. Its the fact that the banner goes against the rules.
>So in other words, your just saying everybody's mad he got drawn again.
No.
Think of it like this, we're all standing at the very permissible edge of Area-51. In front of them is a line of armed guards. The captain informs everybody that if they take one more step they will be shot dead. SecreT skips out ahead of everyone else and instead of being shot, the guards run to greet him. Those that cant get close enough to pat him on the back or shake his hand immediately break into spontaneous masturbation over the fact that SecreT is going to see the base. After SecreT has been carted off in a stretch limo to look at all the super secret stuff, some of us dare to raise a foot to move ahead. The sound of guns cocking fill the air.
SPIRIT FINGERS
You make it sound as if he paid artist with monopoly money for all this time and everybody was to stupid to figure it out until now, and the fact your saying that him being in the FA banner breaks rules what rules are there against "CHARACTERS" being in the monthly banner?
Seriously Ive read all of your comments and everybody Else's and it drains straight down to this point.
He got drawn again, woo is the world Secret was drawn once more.
You're missing the point completely.
Re-read everything closely. You'll get it eventually.
You see your explanation of Area 51 was a riveting tale and it told me everything needed and summed up at the end.
"SecreT is going to see the base. After SecreT has been carted off in a stretch limo to look at all the super secret stuff, some of us dare to raise a foot to move ahead. The sound of guns cocking fill the air. "
In other words.
You want people to notice you but you cant cause SecreT is totally blocking your path to fame along with others fame.
Which falls back to, "Secret got drawn again and we are visibly upset by this."
SecreT is once again allowed to do something the rest of us are not.
Which falls back to, "Secret was once again allowed to do something the rest of us are not."
Maybe if I quote and edit your posts you'll understand where some of us are coming from?
If you wanna edit and quote me be my guest, it all falls back down to what I have been saying this entire time.
You dug your own hole and proved me right cause you have no actual ground to stand on.
He didn't collect donations and stole peoples money.
He didn't scam artist to get art and never pay them.
He never did anything that actually harmed anybody.
So why is it you hate him?
OH ITS BECAUSE HE PAID PEOPLE TO DRAW HIS CHARACTER AND HE GOT FEATURED ON THE FA BANNER!
Holy shit am I the only person that is noticing this exact pattern repeating the fuck out of itself over and over and even you are proving it time and time again right now.
I quoted your post because you weren't getting it, or at least were presenting you argument in such a way that it made it seem like you didnt get it.
you gave a analogy and ended it with the base wording that other people wanna see Area 51 but only Secret gets too.
This is correct, this is it
All the other stuff you wrote after that has nothing to do with the bolded above.
I never said he stole money.
I never said he scammed anyone.
I never said he harmed anybody.
The unrest comes from the fact that he has all of these opportunities and the rest of us do not.
I dont care that he's drawn a lot, thats old news and who gives a damn.
Im more concerned with the bubble of inequality that surrounds him.
The only reason you're seeing so much monotony is because you've convinced yourself that people are angry about how much he's drawn and keep repeating it.
"The unrest comes from the fact that he has all of these opportunities and the rest of us do not."

YOU DUMB FUCKER THAT'S CALLED JEALOUSY!
And dont call me names.
jealous·ness n.
Synonyms: jealous, covetous, envious
These adjectives mean resentfully or painfully desirous of another's advantages: jealous of a friend's success; covetous of my neighbor's possessions; envious of their art collection.
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/jealous
YOU
ARE
A
DUMB
FUCK!
I know what jealousy is, dude. I dont understand why you felt the need to post that.
And again, dont call me names.
And each time you justify it by saying its not the reason why they are mad by giving the exact same response why they are mad.
YOU ARE JEALOUS AND WONT ADMIT IT I AM CALLING YOU NAMES IN THE HOPE TO THE LORD JESUS TITTY FUCKING CHRIST THAT YOU UNDERSTAND YOU ARE EXACTLY WHAT IVE BEEN SAYING AND CANT GIVE ME ANY OTHER REASON TO THINK OTHERWISE!
NO CAPS ARE NOT ON CRUSE CONTROL I AM HOLDING SHIFT DOWN SO I CAN STEER!
People asked why there is so much discord for SecreT, I gave the reason.
Do you hold the shift with your pinky?
Yes I hold it down with my pinky because I am just that cool, but can you guess which pinky!?
Anyway I am done here.
You can give me no explanation why people hate this dude other then they are jealous he has money to spend on furry pornography, and you keep trying to justify it with the same routine which is nothing.
I wish I could worry about being jealous of a furry and have no other problems in life, but for now I am done taking the shits and going to bed.
Artist Type: Art Whore
To be honest, isn't the best thing to do "jealous he has money to spend on furry pornography" you're saying it like it's great to be a pornography animal + being rich only to spend your money on Porn. "Jealous he gets drawn and has money to spend on art" I can tell what you were thinking when you were typing this "HURR DURR LETS COMMENT AND SUPPORT HIM SO I CAN GET A FRIENDSHIP AND GET COMMISIONS FROM HIM" Popfurs are the biggest waste of life ever, and obviously you're standing up for him just because you want to get a little bit of his POPFUR ACTION!
Mystery Over
Get the fuck out and do not reply to this shit cause I won't reply
FUCKING VELMA SOLVED THAT SHIT AND FRED.
BLACK POWER
The only reason I am actually taking up for Secret is because fags like you are annoying and fun to argue with because the only argument you can come back to is " BAW HE GETS DRAWN MORE THEN ME" and all you did was just rattle on about how I wanna be Secrets friend and get artwork with him and shit.
The fuck are you rattling on about Fred! GOD DAMMIT FRED SOLVE THE MYSTERY BARN CASE!
I'M HAVING A MYSTERIOUS MOMENT GEEEZZZZ
I don't even have a fursona
I'M FRED JONES FOR CHRIST SAKE
PEOPLE ARE ALOUD TO SPEAK.
LIKE ME AND THE GANG
GAWRRRRRRRRRRRRSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHDS FOIDLS][;FSD

Say, I go up to an artist, who clearly states they will -not- under any circumstance draw three breasted two donged ninnymonglers. Here's where the play starts.
Me: Hi, will you please draw me a three breasted two donged ninnymongler? Please? I'll pay up front.
Artist: NO, bugger off.
Secret: Why hello there, would you draw me a three breasted two donged ninnymongler? Here's $20 for being awesome and I'll pay double the normal rate.
Arts: ZOMG OF COURSE, ANYTHING YOU WANT.
And cause I know this is going to be chalked up to "You're jealous because he has monies." You can remove the money from the scene and get the exact same result to why some people are upset. Also, the human mind is capable of feeling something more complex than just base jealousy.
For the record, I haven't even heard of secret up until now and I rightly don't give two flying nargles about the banner.
In other words, your full of shit and just chiming in on a subject you have zero knowledge about.
Seriously cant anybody give me any other god damn reason why they don't like secret because of the following.
1. MONEY.
2. POPULARITY.
3. ARTWORK.
Its like I'm watching the biggest baby contest on who can cry the most about this furry popularity shit.
I didn't walk into this expecting to change your mind, it's rather obvious yours won't.
I read the journal, I read the comments and I've seen the announcement. What more to the situation is there?
You did nothing to help me change my mind because every single fucker in here, including those commenting below are hateful towards this one user because he has money, gets commissions, gets featured often.
You literally, and everybody else have no leg to stand on or can present to me anything that he has done to actually warrant being hated other then being popular on a furry website other then "HE GOT DREW, OH FUCKING NO!"
You can stop shoving words in my mouth now. I am not a rock.
The End
2. Don't be socially retarded.
3. Talk to artist who do art for free.
4. Contribute to the fandom in some way other then being "JELLYMAD"
In before you say " OH ITS EASY FOR YOU, YOUR AN ARTIST"
While many furries are socially inept, the majority are not.
I'd take a leap of faith and say most artists don't do work for free.
This is my first time hearing the word "Jellymad" but I will be using it in the future, because it makes me smile.
I didn't know you were an artists, good job I guess? Follow your dreams? Believe in yourself?
"JEALOUSY!"
ok..
Thanks.
So my stomach hurts really fuckin bad, so bad it woke me up from my slumber ;_;
...furries.
Go out and have a good drink.
1. FA is made up of hyperactive autistic adult children whose lust for cock and attention shines brighter then the sun and the stars, and whenever pointless drama like this spurs up they shine the brightest. I am thankful to these gleaming beacons of hope and despair for it is them that gives my soul license to sore.
2. Get on aim so I can talk to you, cause I wanna tease you a little bit about all of this and then tease you some more.
and 2. Get on steam so you can tease me a bit more :)
This is epic.
I'm glad one spastic has stop responding from earlier though, his \ her responses were actually giving me an arse-ache.
So, on the matter of the subject..
I like secret, if he wants to gamble his money on commissions let him....It doesn't harm me in the slightest, but know this FA Dwellers, the admins don't just let people bend the rules on the banner they do on the AUP too.
EL GASPO.
Lols were had.
I just prolapsed a little
:3
Pro skills right there.
I really want some fucking cookies right now .-.
and not one single shit was given about your comment
Mystery Over.
My comment= not different then the other ones on here.
Just with less words, and no actual relation to the OP.
Good job with the asinine reply though ^^
I'm pointing out that it didn't work
MYSTERY SOLVED AGAIN.
If I have to "try" to be funny, then there's no point in trying to be funny in the first place because that'd imply I'm not funny at all. Which isn't true o.o
Case Closed.
Your comment was unfunny. I find it hard to believe that it was not intended to be somewhat humorous. So I felt like pointing out that your attempt (or your natural humour, as you implied) to get attention and be funny, DID NOT WORK.
MYSTERY.
IS.
FUCKING.
SOLVED.
BY MYSTERY INCORPORATED.
FRED FUCKIN JONES.
The people on here yelling and screaming at each other with caps are more then likely looking for attention then I am.
If anything, you're over analyzing this and just trying to find a quick way to be a troll x3
But it's failing o.o
URHHH TROLL URHHHHH TROLLLLLLL
I wasn't trolling, I was pointing out that you weren't being funny.
And your attempt for attention (Yes ATTENTION) Didn't work and the only attention you got was from me.
You furries need to stop using the word "Troll" and actually learn what it means as I was "pointing out" not "Trolling".
Troll is old and is now ruined by about 92% of the Furry community.
PS: Your icon is totally MS Paint galore.
I find it funny how you didn't make note that the fact I said I'm not trying to get attention (Yes ATTENTION). In fact, you're the one looking for the attention if you feel the need to comment on a random post that has about 5% to do with anything on here =p
Really, the humor here is you trying to make a point that really isn't a good point at all x3
And yet again, don't try insulting me about my art. I never state my art is fantastic to begin with, and I've only been drawing for four months =p
You say that your comment is irrelevent to the journal, well is that not attention seeking? your comment stands out of the rest and I'm sure you're aware of this due to your replies.
Your little comment about cookies was attempt of humour which obviously didn't work and you say that I'm getting pissed when you're replying with all this in depth explaination to your failure.
Also I don't see how replying to your comment is attention seeking, people reply to comments all the time, I don't think that makes them attention seeking.
Once again.
Get your facts right.
I'm sure that almost anyone reading this from the outside in, could easily point you out as being the attention-seeking jack ass, simply by the way you're talking to me.
You disrespected me from your very first comment, and for some reason feel the need to repeatedly do so.
My facts are pretty straight, and you're just taking things out of context.
Also, it's not really a waste of time, since obviously I've got the time to spare to deal with the shit you're spewing =p
More like "amazement you're spewing"
All I did was point out your comment wasn't funny and if you find that insulting well i'm sorry you're so sensitive about it.
Could be a sign to show you may need to interact with the outside world more rather than sitting inside making childish cookie jokes on journals that don't concern you.
Lets insert loads of emoticons like you did!
=P X3 XD :3 =D ._. o.o ^^
So, you're just saying more wrong things o.o
Also, it wasn't even you pointing out that my comment wasn't funny, it was that you said no one gave a shit about it.
For someone whose been going on and on about it, you sure don't give a shit o.o
It's not attention seeking if someone has a debate or an argument with someone on a journal cause to be honest, I don't think they were intending to get attention.
Gee Willikers!
You need to get your facts straight.
If you actually took the time to read all the comments, I'm sure you'd see that.
Hell, someone just posted "potatoes", and that's got no "debating" or anything to it, but you have yet to say anything.
So really, whatever you're trying to prove, just isn't cutting out for you there.
He posted potatoes after you made your first comment.
So what you just said was totally wrong and what I am trying to prove is that you weren't funny, I reckon I've done that and all your retaliation proved how much you wanted to protect yourself and act like you weren't trying to be funny at all.
And also, I don't see how what I said was wrong.
He posted "potatoes", and you didn't say anything about it o.o
And, I never said he posted it before or after anything, so your point is actually totally wrong x3
You just don't understand do you?
GAWRSHHHHHHH
Oh well never mind, I think i've proven a very good point against a pathetic furry.
Case Closed
Mystery Solved
Good bye social outcast.
THEN THAT ONE, I'M IN A TIGHT SITUATION HERE
This fandom makes my daily lol ^^
You don't even need to say an opinion to get people to go crazy on you nowadays x3
I bet the potato guy up there is gonna get some trolling in less than 10 mins xD
*Offers a cookie*
Also, thanks for the watching =D
And, it's no problem! ^^
I'm so wanting some mshed potatoes right now 0___0
you prefer potatoes over cookies, because you're infact LOUIS WALSH.

Do I really have to be a balding hobbit? iDi
I accidentally all of FurAffinity's SQL database tables containing all of the ban notifications and IPs. Is this bad? D8
:c
I honestly couldn't care who is in the banner. Sometimes I get attention jealous too, but that doesn't mean I need to spite someone else for it (especially those making personal attacks on you and your char).
...yeah, that would explain why people think you're a douche bag : / Seems like you legitimately are.
His donations helped a furry couple get married 3 years ago. Yes, it's confusing that the reward for that act of good will be so belated, but the reasoning for the spot in the banner remains sound. It's no big money-grubbing scam conspiracy. One fur with a lot of money helped two OTHER furs with less money start a new life together.
If you want to loathe him for something, do it because of his continued popularity or wealth. Not for something that's untrue.
THAT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE AND IS COMPLETELY JUSTIFIED!
It'd prefer it if nobody hated him at ALL, but one sad thing I've learned is that you CAN'T stop people from hating. So the best anyone can hope for is that is they're gonna hate, let it be for honest reasons.
Sorry, using my mate's laptop, and not used to typing on laptop keyboards. X_X
And again ... it was overflow, and none of the donaters, like, asked and said "hey, can I get back that extra money you don't need anymore?", so what was SUPPOSED to be done with the money? Send it to a cancer research foundation? Sponsor a child in a third world country? Start a whole NEW donation drive, all because god forbid there be some extra money left over, and it HAS to all get used?
It's actually rather funny that ALL the people who seem to have their panties in a twist about ANY and all aspects of this entire situation are all people who are not directly involved in it in any way, shape, or form. The donaters? Nope, not angry. The admins? Not angry either. The couple the donations were FOR? ALSO not angry. The artist asked to DRAW the banner? Noooot angry.
So ... seems to me that all the people huffing and puffing and stomping their feet are all people who, quite frankly, HAVE no business being upset, as NO part of the matter directly affects/impacts them in ANY way.
And no- the money was collected FOR the couple, not personal art x3; stop trying to justify something wrong. Lemme put it as another example- You donate to a Children's Cancer Fund and they use it to buy a Porsche to drive in. Same deal, just on a bigger scale. What he SHOULD have done is give the couple the rest of the money to use because it was FOR them to begin with. Could have used it for actual important things, like house payments and other meaningful expenses and what not. You don't keep what was raised for someone else x3;
The GOAL was MET. The couple got their happily-ever-after. NOBODY bitched at SecreT for using the leftovers. NOBODY. Not the ones who donated, not the couple being donated to, not the admins handling the donation, not ANYONE who was involved in the situation. YOU (and those LIKE you) are literally the ONLY ones finding fault in this. All those whom were involved in the situation are JUST fine with this. So aside form hatemongering for the sole purpose of just jerking off to some weird hate fetish, WHAT, exactly, is the point of you making an issue out of this?
Allow me to repeat ... NO ONE else who is a part of this is upset or finds any fault in the matter. NONE of them. And if it's a non-issue for them, it should be a non-issue for everyone else, as it's NONE of anyone else's business. Period.
B: If it's private business, why post it public explaining to people? You silly x3
C: Miss the point more! rofl
Again, stop trying to defend something that's wrong =P End of story~
Just because you SAY something should be a crime, doesn't mean it is.
I think all the banners are very nice and I can't wait to see the next one.
Ciao!
Can't believe the mountain people are making over this.
Brought lols to my life
AYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
You need to slap his shit, fred.
Its like I hit kindergarden all over again and everyone gets jealous of the one rich kid with the new transformer toy that nobody else can afford
I mean really? Secret has the resources to get drawn tons. This is something to get jealous over?
How come nobody looks at movie stars and thinks the same thing? They got tons of money, hell Jerry Seinfeld owns half a billion dollar in supercars, how come nobody hates him?
Then you all get mad cause he's "Popular" cause he gets drawn tons? I'm confused there, popular tends to mean that somebody does something based on their merits to be well liked. I see secret gets drawn tons, I dunno if that's popular in the typical sense, but should I hate him cause he gets so many pictures and gets plastered all over FA that we should dislike him?
I mean, no offense to those I mention next, but Brokenwing, Minnieshoof, EraDragon, Dragoneer, they all have tons of pictures drawn for them, mostly all of them paid commissions, how come you don't hate them? Cause they aren't rich? Its ok to like them because they work hard for their money vs. coming into an inheritance?
And if that's the case, how come you are jealous of him cause he's rich? You think he didn't work for his money? That's like being jealous of that kid who got the transformers toy, the kid clearly didn't earn it, his parents bought it for him, why is it not ok to be jealous of the kid who got the toy and gets money for nothing, vs secret as an adult who gets his money for doing nothing?
If you spend all your lives being jealous of things you -DON'T- have, you will spend the entirety of it being miserable and jaded. So secret has money, why should his life affect yours? What is stopping you from having a good life?
I'm on disability and schizophrenic, I have very little money, and hell I -GIVE STUFF AWAY- too people cause I care about people, I could be a miserly little prick and horde everything to myself, or instead of eating steak, I eat rice for a meal and set aside $10 and buy a friend a gift, or paypal them some money etc.
So in short, spending your life being jealous about things is stupid. Its ok to aspire to be something, or to work hard for something, but to sit there doing nothing and getting mad at others for getting things is silly. There is no difference between secret being that kid who got the transformers toy, vs being an adult and getting money. Saying its ok to hate one and not the other is silly.
And if you spend your life only caring about material possessions, you will be a miserly bitter person before you hit 30.
Anyways, happy holidays and I hope you have a merry christmas. I hope it finds you all happy and healthy, and please, don't spend your time thinking about all the stuff you -DON'T- have, spend it thinking about the stuff you do have, its far more important.
Seriously, extremely well-written and hits the nail right on the head. If more furries had your frame of mind, this entire mess likely would never have happened.
But only two things. He's not rich and he doesn't have an inheritance. Apparently never had one either. Just knows how top save which most people never do and choose to bitch at other people who have the ability to do it. There is such a thing as difference of opinions but atleast make sure your fuckin facts are straight first so it doesn't spiral into this disastrous, lie-filled,conspiracy spewing, trolling fest on his journals.
Also if you hate him so damn much stay off his fucking page. It's quite simple honestly.
You could have said "But yeah, no Secret did not come into an inheritance, the more people knew about this the better, and the less slander the man would get"
You seem to be channeling a lot of anger here, some of it is ending up in my direction, and I dunno what I did to you.
But my main point still stands, getting angry at the man for having money and buying commissions is silly, its petty and juvenile jealousy plain and simple.
And the fact that he works for his money even makes it a greater point to not be mad at the guy, if he works hard for his cash he even more so deserves it, getting upset at him is again quite silly.
Fucking. Why.
People aren't mad because you're popular, it's because it goes against the rules of the contest.
It be if like Valve was running a contest for new mascot, and there's a rule against the designs looking similar to other characters, but a Mario clone wins. Of course it's gonna tick people off.
The fact you used a charity auction to get there is even more nerve-wracking.
The only reason the one banner wasn't torn apart was that the artist's OC wasn't the focus of the picture.
Honestly it is kinda dumb your in the banner, as I think that's a place only Fender/Rednef should be in and seeing a sparkledog there is kind of silly but this journal kinda reeks of unwarented self importance.
