Late night rant- Nonsensical
14 years ago
Now there a lot of drama and debate going on around these parts and there a couple of things I like to say.
First, I want to talk about the naivety of a lot of eager young souls on the internet. I find it hard to believe that a lot of people can’t imagine admins going out of their way to favor individuals over others or that admins would in be the practice of acting out unjust activities. If that was the case I could have told you that in the first month of me being on this site. Now in no way does that excuse some of the serious shit that has gone down on this site. It is a failure of both the admins and the community for allowing manners to be swept under the carpet and/or letting things fall through the cracks. I don’t need to pry into people’s personal lives, who they have raped , be raped by, and or raped another living creature(pet companions).
In all honestly that shit does not matter to me.
All the evil and double dealing of the FA underworld, I can’t give much care to because I’m here for the sake of art. I upload and fav art, that’s why I am here. That furry drama bullshit is just that bullshit. To be frank about this drama, the shit that happens here is the same shit that happens else where. When cub was banned on FA where did it go!!! All of the other sites that everybody is flocking to. What does everyone plan to do when the same people you are running away from are now your next door neighbor one some new site. Just being honest everyone here is kind of limited. Now I am in no way saying it not okay to leave, trust me I very tempted and will probable do the same.
Now the reason that I now actively searching for a new media (Tumblr) is due to security concerns. Now these concerns have been in the wood works for months and should have been taken care. This was not a “hey your car needs an oil change in about 2000 more miles”, this is was a “hey your engine is about to blow”. Well kabooom! I don’t want to be in a place where one day I wake up to see all of my stuff deleted or random nonsense popping up all over for me.
I know right now FA is the big piñata for all sorts of groups for different reason. This hit could be what cracks it open and allows Inkbunny or furocity to get a better grip on the community, but right now people need to understand that shifting shit from a soiled plate to a clean plate only makes another shitty plate.
There a lot of problem the communities has to figure out, like what they want and I don’t mean personally life nonsense (let the people living it handle their own business), more like art themes and what’s acceptable. These hacks were in response to a large bucket list of fur community problems and hopefully we can get things straighten out.
For what FA is it’s a great place if your keep to yourself and your art, easy to use and pretty ad free, I will still love to use and shall I just know that the people need to get their stuff together.
Be understand that where ever people go this can and possible will happen on any site, Gawker media is a credit to that.
Just remember if you got to go make sure to let your friends know
Nothing beats waking up to realize the artistes you used to roll with
Up and left for the next fad art site. – Butthurtness
Also I forgot the point of writing all of these….must be the lack of sleep

that was well said.
I do enjoy your art..
so if you plan on moving along later on..do provide a link so I can continue to watch your art.
Also. maybe you should sleep.
This.
A thousand times over.
Plus they seem to only be targeting popufurs, so I think you'd be fine =3
They don't need to hack everyone's accounts. They had access to a crapload of notes. Probably the only thing that keeps us average users safe is the fact that nobody wants to read hundreds of boring notes.
As for the passwords' safety, i wouldn't use the term "random", since true randomness is rarely achieved (and not always desirable), but yes, it is always good to have kind of long and complex passwords.
10 billion times THIS^
This is perhaps the best journal i've read regarding this issue.
Hughghghg yes I don't see this point brought up enough.
Man, I'm generally loving this journal.
The hacker(s)'s goal was obviously to cause chaos in the community. And that they did. Sission muccess.
