Rumor Control: cubAffinity is a "newly registered art site"
15 years ago
LIE: "cubAffinity.net is a newly registered domain name, site, and user account on FA, obviously created in response to the cub porn ban. LOL WTF"
Truth: The cubAffinity account was created here on FA shortly before the purchase of the domain name just over a year prior to the November 24th announcement on FurAffinity concerning cub art with explicit adult themes. Technicaly speaking though, just for the sake of being totally truthful, cubaffinity.net domain name was registered/purchased 11-25-09. Trial run sites where attempted on ning and grou.ps no less than 6 months ago and safely no more than 9 months ago. See cubaffinity.ning.com and cubafinity.grou.ps . As per the failure of those two services to meet the needs and desires of the cubAffinity team we decided to seek out a smaller more dedicated provider. We sent out notice and such and around the beginning of November we were contacted and opened up communications with a provider who felt that they could handle our needs and wants and were enthusiastic to do so. Agreements concerning the servers and hosting services for handling cubAffinity were finalized on the evening of November 13th into the morning hours of the 14th, 10 days prior to FurAffinity's announcement that they could no longer host cub porn.
