I'm Back! Hopefully?

General
It's been 12 years since I've posted here. I can't really tell you why I left. I think it coincided with me feeling like I didn't belong here, and joining Twitter around the same time? I just stopped posting one day and never returned.
The sites I post to haven't been doing great. I stopped posting on Twitter a year ago for obvious reasons; I get half the page views that I used to on DeviantArt; most of the fandom isn't on Tumblr anymore; and then there's Bluesky, which has been decent, but I'm worried its growth is stalling and a lot of the fandom still isn't using it (I may be totally wrong on that).
So, it got me thinking that I may be completely ignoring the best place to post my art - FurAffinity. A lot of friends of mine still post here, and it seems like this place is still going strong with a majority of the fandom using it. Have I been crazy for not coming back here sooner? Maybe.
I'll say, at a glance it seems like the devs here have done a great job modernizing the site without losing the original charm of it. Blazing fast, too!
I don't know what I'm gonna do as far as uploading my old art here. I've actually drawn 2200+ different things since I last posted here - no exaggeration. If I uploaded a picture every 6 minutes, it would take me 9-10 days without breaks to eat or sleep. If I reduced it to 8 hours a day, and kept that pace, it'd take me a month. Oof! I don't have time for that.
I think what I'll do is I'll just upload some of my best/favorite pieces since 2014, and put them in year-labeled folders as I go. And I'll do that occasionally alongside uploading my new art. Sounds good? Sounds good.
I have no idea how things will go, but for now, I'm happy to be back. :3

Nothing wrong with not posting things, especially when you have so much in your repitoire! Though if it helps, I use postybirb to post things. It makes the process a bit easier, especially if you're posting to multiple sites at the same time.
Looking forward to (finally) seeing how little run ends!
