Yay for FA doing something at start without letting people know, getting caught, then bringing it public when they've got their hand caught in the cookie jar.

Side note...yay for NoScript and Firefox.

[edit] I'll just have to keep adblock and noscript running along....keep FA from profiting from my own presence...hope that others follow suit or that the administration finally wakes up.

To Dragoneer, who will probably read this as I'm sure Viglink is in some journal scraper of his...I'll mention Inkbunny, too, since I know he's had one on that for a while, instead of going 'ohgod no donations ROLL OUT VIGLINK', did you ever stop to think there might be a reason 'why' people aren't donating? Between past performance...current policies being implemented, and now this monstrosity of a drama bomb...have you STILL not learned your lesson?

You run a website FOR others...this is not your personal playground to run however you want, implementing whatever you want just because you want to. It's running it like that which has driven away your donations AND a fair number of the fandom as well. You mgiht go 'well, I didn't want that part of the fandom anyway', but seriously...how much longer do you think the rest of us will put up with things like this?

This whole viglink thing SHOULD have been brought up and discussed before implementation. Who knows? Maybe the people you still have left that might throw money at you might have thrown some to stop it from being implemented...but of course....why give people the choice? Just ram ANOTHER thing down peoples' throats...it's your website after all right? You don't need any of them...OH BUT WAIT...without them...IT WOULDN"T EVEN EXIST!
