Dragoneer - Rest in Peace
a year ago
Haven't created a journal here in years but this feels like the right space to leave my thoughts.
I'm an old guy from the before FA times, what Dragoneer did for this community was something simply unfathomable back then. To create what feels like such a simple site for furrys to come together and easily share their art and their thoughts. He was a pillar in what created the fandom as it is today without a doubt.
We were never close but the few times I bumped into him at FA:U he was always such a genuine guy, trying to make something for us all to enjoy.
Nothing is perfect, this site isn't perfect, he wasn't perfect, but each and every one of us here owe a lot to the guy. It was a disgrace what happened to him, what this country allows to happen to anyone who is sick. But Dragoneer made his mark, we will all always remember and know that 'He was here'. May you rest in peace...
This site may not be perfect but marks my words, if we lose FA we'll probably be getting 'modern' doom scrolling type sites run by an algorithm next. I hope that there is a way that whoever this site goes to can keep it running and maybe reach out to the community for help to do so.

Losing FA would be a devastating blow, and in respect for Dragoneer, hopefully it can continue to run.
Corporate greed took Neer's life away because they refused to give him treatment since he did not have the money.
