RIP Dragoneer. You are missed
a year ago
I hope 
dragoneer has made it to his digi/furry heaven. May his afterlife be filled with all the round beasts, friends, familiar presences, comfort, pleasure, and other wonderful things. I will miss him. Dragoneer made an impact on my life in multiple ways and helped keep FurAffinity running as a solid foundation to meeting so many friends, improving skills, growing as a person, and more. RIP, friend.
I'm not that far behind Dragoneer in terms of age. Let me share a little history real quick. My original account was
dragonmyr . I joined, became friends with 
jheryn now known as 
alkora . I influenced/instigated the creation of the Commissions Tab and the use of 3-character usernames (previous minimum was 4-characters). I was an FA administrator between 2006 and 2007 after Dragoneer had assumed ownership of the site. I used to help fix all the random thumbnail issues on newly submitted images, and I also came down hard by banning people causing drama on the site because I saw them as a threat to the growth of the art community here. I stopped being an admin after cub porn was first addressed and allowed by the TOS back in 2007.
In 2013, I teamed up with
benanderson to begin an unofficial, unsanctioned, free recode of FA in JSP. I thought JSP was the right choice because of how versatile I found it to be at work. Dragoneer decided to put 
zaush in charge of the project and I quietly dipped out due to not knowing or wanting to learn Node.JS.
I met Dragoneer in person at FurAffinity United in 2018 and 2019. I thought we would still have some lingering disagreements and tried to keep my space. To my surprise, Dragoneer was incredibly friendly and eager to let the past be in the past. He was one awesome guy to meet and had great perspective about life, people, and things in general. He did an amazing job of being personable to so many people and creating a stable online foundation for the furry world. FA has let me experiment, expand, and indulge in ways that no other online resource has allowed. It's also brought me so many new friendships and relationships. While other sites were rising and falling, this place has somehow remained constant.
I did consider Dragoneer a friend. Our interests crossed paths so many times. We would commission the same artists and subjects, favorite the same things, and enjoy the same kind of games and media. We didn't always see eye-to-eye, but appreciated his perspective on things. The man is a legend in this community for keeping this hub of furry activity going for so long. RIP Murasadramon. You are missed.

Dragoneer did have his faults in being hypocritical sometimes, but to err is human and no one is prefect. He did help build and maintain a strong website and foundered a flourishing community within the fandom. Ive only spoken to him a couple of times throughout my years on FA and he was a friendly and eager guy as you said. FA may continue onward, but it will never be the same again without his presence.
