A thought concerning InkBunny and what not.
I'm getting some responses and then there is the whole resounding loud voice that you all but need to perk your ear slightly to hear screaming INKBUNNY.
Just to let you know, I'm all for IB, so long as they can stay up and running. There are some concerns as far as staff being pretty much the same bunch that runs in Dragoneers circles and then the whole thing that if there is really much to believe about Dragoneers reasons for not being able to host adult themed cub art or seemingly any "controversial" art on FA anymore, when this great site was built on artistic tolerance and diversity, how IB will be able to do the same when they use the same system for handling donations that FA does. All those loosely founded concerns aside I like Ink Bunny, and think it has a place in the fandom and hope that it prospers and grows to be a rock for the foundation of the fandom, even past being an art hosting site.
I understand peoples concerns as far as there being a cacophony of sites available to utilize for the purposes one utilizes sites like FA for, and that its become somewhat of an undesirable pain under the tail to keep up with having a part to do with all of them. We do intend on offering our members a choice to use us as an all-in-one kind of site for them, but we are not trying to put push any other site into uselessness or obsolescence.
Much like, if done right in tight nit communities two grocery stores in close proximity to each other can actually compliment one another, this is what we would like to do with sites like FA, IB, CC, RUP, and the like.
Just because there are so many choices for sites does not mean that you need to have memberships on all of them. One should give each of them a peek and then afterwards decide which of those choices seems to be what would best serve what you're trying to do, pick one or two, or three, how many you think you can participate in fairly, and for that matter choose wisely the ones who seem founded and stable enough to be there for you for the run of things and stick with them. Don't overbear or burden yourself with spreading yourself too thin.
So to all those critters looking my way with a scrunched up face because there is one more up and coming furry community, please understand that its not my intent to muddle things up for you more than they already are, and when they ask "JEESH, WHY NOT INK BUNNY!?", please understand that I'm not even trying to put up a front of friendly competition but hopefully to offset burdens on them and supplement them later on, this even applies to FurAffinity.
FA is very right or mostly right for some people and for that I applaud them and encourage people to stick with it, but in all logic it cant be a coverall solution for everyone, period. To some regard I think a lot of the people who were upset over recent policy changes that have been a long time in the works on FA, are unfounded in their feelings simply because they expected so much of FA to appease their every whim and want, and to that regard they are being unfair to FA. This will hold true to IB and even my site cA, but I feel our attempts at cA will be to cover a more full service kind of site than what IB and FA are, then again only for the broader scope of a small part of the fandom. Say for instance you're a bigger macrofur than you are cub fur, we'll offer content and such for you to enjoy and even resources in hopes to enrich that part of you, but we're not about to disregard how refined already existing communities like Bigfurs are, and we are not going to try to out do them in any way, and we wouldn't be afraid to point you in their direction.
So ya know, if we were face to face and you asked me "Why not Ink Bunny?", I'd honestly probably just smile and shrug softly and say something like, "I don't know, why not Ink Bunny?"
Please, check them out, and stick around and give us a good look over when we have something for you to chew on other than big walls of text. I know we'll be good for a large enough group of people to make it worth it for them, and I would be more than pleased to supplement everyone else's enjoyment and involvement in the fandom.
So... Rah Rah Rah to Ink Bunny...
GO Fur Affinity...
and...
We're rootin for ya cub Affinity!!!
I mean we are all sort of in the same boat together, why not make use of each others gifts, skills, and resources be friends, work together, frolic, and have lots of fun?
