Elfwood rant! =D
16 years ago
Prepare for hilarity to ensue!!
SO. I joined elfwood in the 90's, when it was like.. the ONLY place to post art. Anyone and everyone posted on Elfwood, and I was among them. (yeah, this was before even deviantart... be afraid). Back in the beginning it wasn't too bad, and I enjoyed the site. Then I was led to Deviantart and I moved there for a couple of years before finding my way here. At some point last year, I decided to try and upload some of my older works to Elfwood, to update it from the ancient stuff that was still posted there. For anyone who is not familiar with Elfwood, EVERYTHING that you post HAS to first be approved by a moderator. EVERYTHING is looked at by one of their staff and given the yay or nay.
Well EVERYTHING I posted was rejected because 1.) Furries for some reason beyond me, belonged in fan art apparently, though I didnt go into that too much. And 2.) Because I hadn't provided a translation for the word Kitsune. ... *cough* Yeah.. Anyway, I posted, in my profile, a bit of a rant pertaining to such, seen below.
Tonight just reminded me of why I stopped posting my art on Elfwood. Its such a god damned pain in the ass to get anything done with this stupid, outdated, and anal site. My ticket to have my art updated was rejected because one, I had to many submissions at once (I can kind of understand, but thats why I use Furaffinity now and it lets me upload all I want) but because I used the word KITSUNE in my descriptions without giving a 'translation' It mean FOX and if you looked at the website link given, the moderator who had sticks for brains would have figured that out. Not to mention that Kitsune is its own being, a mythical creature from japanese lore that cant be called just a 'fox'. And this isnt the first time Ive had issues with these morons. For gods sakes! Everyone here needs to go to Deviantart.com or Furaffinity.net!
That was at some point last year. And has been on my profile since then. Anyone noticed? No, Anyone cared? Not really.
Well out of morbid curiosity I decided to see if I could get my old stuff approved this time arround when I received an email from Elfwood saying they haddent seen me in a while, blah blah blah, and had new features, blah blah blah. I figured, 'Hey, might see if they stopped with the retard staff..."
Booooy was I wrong!
Mind you, I subbmitted my old stuff for review THREE weeks ago. (Isnt their responce time AMAZING?! =D ) This is the email I recived back
Everything is rejected, because your profile is bashing Elfwood and it's staff, which we will not tolerate. If you disagree with a decision from the moderators, then please contact us by replying back to the email you receive. When the problem with your profile is fixed, please contact us by replying back to this email and your pictures will be processed shortly there after. If the problem is not corrected by January 12, then we will be forced to contact the ERB about your account, which will result in your account being removed from Elfwood.
HAHA!! Hilarity ensues! Oh you better belive I will respond back to that... And my response is now posted on my Elfwood profile too! =D
SO! The stupidity continues! I figured I would try and get my stuff added, out of random morbid curiosity to see if the moderators got the sticks out of their asses, only to get one who went all 'waaahbulance' on the fact that I DARED to badmouth their precious site. Oh no!
Frankly, it just pushes me away more. I have been a member of this site for years. I have had an account since the 90's for gods sake (ignore what it says on my profile, I couldn't remember when I actually joined so I just put up the default). Frankly, the staff has gotten worse and worse. I have to wonder if ANYONE has EVER had a pleasant interaction with these nitwits.
SO! Since they are holding my submissions 'hostage' until I change my profile to stop badmouthing their site, and threatening me with a banhammer if I dont... I DONT CARE ANYMORE =D! They can kiss my fuzzy furry ass! Right here *points at bum* Go on! Cause I dont need your anal-retentive dictatorship anymore! If they cant handle anything but puppies and rainbows being said about their site, and cant take criticism at all, I dont care! Huzzah!
Oh and dont worry about banning me, Im removing all my art from here as well . Its all old and ancient anyway. But you wouldn't know that, would you Moderators, because you wont even approve my old stuff for viewing because of a silly moderator going 'waaah' instead of actually giving me a pleasant experience to change my mind about Elfwood, which would have made me change my profile to reflect it. =)
I think its the spectacular leaving of a site I have ever had! Normally I just kinda fade away. Never have I had to leave because of the stupidity of the supposed staff. It makes me kinda giggle madly with morbid joy... I am so damaged.. XD
FA+




thatll show those tight assed jerks XP
wow i wasnt aware Elfwood sucked so badly
but then again I almost never went there and it was before i started joining sites like that
maybe shit like that is part of the reason why its going under and sites like DA and FA are doing better
also wtf fan art? i used to see furry art there when i did go D:
I remember Elfwood.
tried joining like three times.
but... who wants to READ all of those ridiculous rules to pass a test? reall?
I MEAN REALLY!?
Sop I said "fuck that shit" years ago... in the early nineties. ..well... maybe more like the mid nineties..because I actually had accessto such things then.
ddin't stop me from browsing though. and if you ask me, elfwood is already dead.
When I first came to furaffinity I was expecting the same stagnancy as elfwood had. where no new art was posted. not ever.
and OMFG PEOPLE POSTED SHIT!
I love it here!XD
sure... some of the fetishes seriously freak me the fuck out and SOME furries outright piss me the fuck off.
But I prefer FA over Sheezey, DA, mangawhatnot, and whatever other art sites. INCLUDING Elfwood.
Also Ive never "left" a site either. excet foopets, but thats because the users were rude and downright retarded. I didn't give any glory to it... I just hit the delete button and went on my happy ass way.
Heres to hoping the admins kiss your ass! ~fills up the champaigne bottles~
AND HUZZAH HIKARI NIGHTSHADE!
May you never loose what makes you who you are, you mentally deranged Kitsune. :3
