BACK UP YOUR ART NOW
a year ago

Not to be an alarmist but from the sounds of it fa was barely paying its bills with dragoneer so it will likely default on something in the near future. Id highly recommend backing things up now.

I don't think FA is going to vanish though. If the bills weren't being paid on time in the past, then FA would have lost their hosting facility already. It's safe to say that Dragoneer was paying his FA bills. I saw comments from him though, where he said that FA+ and the internal furry ads, wasn't covering all of the cost of running FA, so he was paying some of the cost out of his own pockets.
I trust that if FA ends up in financial trouble, that those in power will make an announcement about it. I personally paid for two separate FA+ memberships for a year and a half, but am only paying for one right now. If they say they need help to keep FA alive, I'll go back to paying for two FA+ memberships - one for each of my two FA accounts. I'm pretty sure that enough users will step up, if needed, to keep FA viable, so I'm not worried. It's still always a wise idea to keep your art and other important stuff on at least two different sites, in case of unexpected problems.
