After all that has happened, it will be hard to rebuild trust.
Trust has been smashed to pieces over and over again.
Waiting for an apology for people getting banned over harmless art, only to get harsher yet still unclear rules in response.
That fucking hurt, being treated like the fandom's Parias.
But that was the first posting I am willing to give the benefit of the doubt.
An actual apology, which is what many of us wanted in the first place.
Maybe this could be a start, but it will be a long road, like you already noticed.
And yes, of course that also means we can't expect results overnight.
Started my FA account 17 years ago. Felt like a home.
Then so much trust was destroyed.
I'm not spiteful, just hurt and disappointed.
Personally, I would like to believe that this time it's sincere.
Guess I'm willing to give you that.
And then, I guess, time will tell. Actions will tell, if trust can slowly be rebuilt or not.
Let's leave it at that for the moment.

Earlier this evening I said "I believe it when I see it" with a big amount of bitterness in it. I was honestly ready to brush it off and be done with it.
And I honestly can 100% understand every person who is done with this site. I really do understand every single one.
But part of me wants it to be true this time. Or at least, to be sincere.
Yes, FA is an old fossil, a ship full of holes, a home with a leaky roof, chipped walls and cracked floors. But it was a home for 17 years.
And I guess even a run-down home is a home.
Or anger.
Or disappointment.
Or people saying "fuck them" and move on.
Personally, I’m staying and will fight for my right to remain if the torches and pitchforks get drawn again.
I am skeptical at this point, but also I hope it might actually change.
Still hurt, tho
Time will tell I guess.
And seeing what happens with the mod shortage.
If they fuck up, it's game over. And I might reactivate my Weasyl account anyway. It will suck however, having to transfer literally hundreds of pictures over <.<
So it still really hurts and at the moment, I don't really know what to do. Probably not putting all eggs in one basket in the future, so I have a fallback.
Transferring all art to a new home will royally suck, tho
