Possible return...?
2 months ago
Many of you already know that I had left due to the change in FA policy and I stayed gone - having moved to SoFurry. However, it seems like SoFurry might never come back (given their outage was supposed to last a day or three - and now we're months in with no ETA on a return). With that, I have -zero- net presence - no one to share my work with, bounce ideas off, anything. I guess I need to weigh the idea of a possible return, and if I do - what will I need to change to keep from becoming a victim of ex-post-facto rule enforcement or getting demonized. When I purged a majority of my artwork gallery, I lost comments posted by a LOT of people, some of them were dear to me and are now no longer with us (roadrodent, etc)... Anyone out there care to see me return?
You should do what you feel is best with the resources available to you, that's my honest answer to your question.
As for your question, I would like to see you come back. Some of the stuff you've commissioned and written over the years is still among my all-time favorite content of its kind, partly from it being some of the first of its kind I ever saw and read, so it's fair to say you were one of the sources of inspiration that led me to contribute back.
But I guess you might weigh that against how much you want to come back to a site you left and had reasons for leaving, plus how much it would bother you (of if it bothers you) if any of your work were removed. And if you're really concerned about your stuff being taken down, there's still Inkbunny if you want to use it as a backup/mirror.
I'm just glad to see you're still around and I hope you're doing well IRL, regardless of what you do or don't do here.
