Love you, gang

Hey, everybody. It's pretty sad times, right? I'm kind of bad at this kind of stuff, especially since I try really hard to make the fandom my happy place. Positive vibes only, you know? But I would feel awful not saying anything about Dragoneer. I'm not eloquent enough to properly eulogize him, and I didn't know him personally beyond a few brief interactions, but I'm forever in his debt for revitalizing and maintaining this place.
I've been here just about forever, and FA is really special to me. That includes all y'all, too, since I would otherwise just be posting into the void. I guess I just wanted to make sure you all know how much I treasure every little interaction we have. Thank you always for all the comments. If ever anybody in my cast has felt real to you, made you smile, or even just supplied some horny energy for a bit, it means the world to me.
I don't know what the future holds, and I'm more than a little terrified that this might all go away. I desperately hope that it can keep rolling on, that we can keep interacting, and that my little gallery can remain a tiny bit of warm, friendly light in a difficult world. If that should not happen to be in the cards, I wouldn't want to go out without you all knowing how I felt. <3

If it helps, a telegram channel I'm subscribed to had a user post from the FA discord that the staff is still in place, and no near term changes will occur. I hope that any changes further along the line are positive. Personally, I think having this place be community owned would be great. If even a quarter of registered users threw in $5 a month, it'd be smooth sailing.
Keep doing what you do, and try not to worry. Everything will be okay in the end, if it's not okay, it's not the end.
It's true, I've been here since the reboot (or apparently five days after the reboot? I must have been slacking making the new account), and FA has made it through a lot. There was a turbulent period where it seemed like every other month there was a threatened mass exodus, and I've been spoiled by the recent relative peace. That does help, and I hope we can all just keep on keeping on.
Not sure the future of the site, but i guess the site owners know better. Time to grieve and heal.
Sometimes it's okay to tune out. Or go for a hike, go to a stream, stare into the distance, or spend time, just reflecting on things in the moonlight.
Ah, if only! It takes a lot to get me into a catastrophizing mood, but I kind of make it count once it starts up.
It's no secret that I deeply appreciate your whole cast and the setting you've put them in, and not just because I'm horny for them, honestly. I apologize if I've ever seemed disrespectful towards them or that I'm not treating them right, because you really do deserve better from me than I've given you the whole time we've known each other.
As far as FA, I'm genuinely not worried, which I hope says something given how neurotic I usually am about things like this. As some others have said the admin staff have already made statements about their intentions going forward and things genuinely look up; after all, FA has already made it this far, so there's no reason to think that it'll all suddenly fall apart now, as bad as things seem.

Yeah, silly stuff to say, but I don't want to go out without saying stuff neither.
BTW I really like your art, especially of FGS.
Aw, thank you so much! FGS is a real cutie, and I love that she's so much more popular than I expected her to be. ^^
Here's to the future and may it be bright!
RIP Dragoneer, he sounded like a legend.
He really did some incredible things for the fandom. I hope he knew how much we all appreciated it.
Thanks for commissioning me when i was getting back into the fandom in (omg) 2014! It meant a lot to get a comm from someone like you and helped get my self-confidence back into gear ^_^
Thank you for being you. I know I get very quiet, often for long periods of time, but I appreciate you, and want you to know that.
I hope you are doing well too!
Oh, I'm getting by! I'm very thankful for the good fortunes I've had, and I'm happy to be able to spread it around the community, at least as much as I'm able.
