Farewell, Dragoneer
a year ago
I must say, the news of Dragoneer's passing was a blow I was not expecting to feel.
With so many years in the fandom, I have felt blessed to speak to a number of wonderful individuals via FA, and whilst I perhaps only had fairly limited interactions with Dragoneer, I could always see that he had the fandoms best intent at the forefront of his thoughts.
I would not be the person that I am today without Furaffinity. From the cringe-inducing messages with my first beau, to arranging some weird and wonderful artworks from wonderful commissioners, FA has been at the forefront of my daily life for almost 20 years now. I've met some truly remarkable people through this website, and I have nothing but praise for the legacy that Dragoneer has built.
Especially from his early days as Preyfar, I was surprised and delighted to know that not only did 'neer enjoy supporting the community, but he also gave back with top-quality artwork.
Quiet on here as I now might be, I've grown up alongside the fandom and FA. It's with great pleasure to know that Dragoneer had kept this odd little place ticking over for all of these years.
"Always 'Neer. Also 'Far"
Rest easy, 'neer.

Definitely agree. FA is a very important part of my journey in the fandom

Same. It was a real kick in the balls to hear about Dragoneer's death at the hands of our fucked up healthcare system. He deserved so much better. I'm grateful for all he's given the fandom.

I have known him for over 25+ years, long before FA, (AI knew him as Preyfar Hyena, (and also his real name) when the 1990's came to and end.. & the 2000's were born. He brought us FurAffinity to help unite us after other Furry communities have faded away, failed, or dissapeared. He kept FA alive for all of us. Many of us will miss him. *hugs*
FA+
