Any suggestions for how I treat my multiple accounts?

General
Currently, I have three accounts in which I post art.
deviantArt - old repository for art, currently unmaintained
FurAffinity - main repository for new art
SoFurry - used mainly for fanart of stories I read in SoFurry
The thing is, I'd like there to be some clear-cut distinctions between my three accounts so each place remains relevant to me. SoFurry already has a distinct use for me in that it's primarily a place to find my fan art for SoFurry stories I like, but dA and FA practically serve the same function right now, with dA just sitting there. I'd love to make that account useful again, more for myself and less for others, as I'm not drawing for the sake of popularity or pageviews.
Not only that, but SoFurry and deviantArt both have superior submission upload and organization features, and it's just much more of a joy to use their sites rather than this one in its current state. I'd like to revitalize my art galleries and allow me to participate in their ecosystems without doing too many redundant submissions of the same pieces of art between sites.
What do you guys think?

It's just a way of prioritize.
FA is just one huge lump of whatever, so in order for it to make sense, it should be more specific in what it holds. I think submissions related to other people's characters/gifts/trades/commissions should be just that. :)
And speaking of commissions in the end you thought of a time to open them since you talked about that after the sudden cancellation of MFF? *curious*
yes, FA has failings, but i don't think there will ever be a perfect site out there... and they (the administration) seem to have been doing a decent job of whipping this place into shape... so, there's also that.
but in a sense i do know what you mean. as for where to go, all i can suggest is go where you find it's the easiest for your own habits and make that one your main source. go where you're the most content is really all i can say about that.
But that's just me. It's up to you how to manage them, or even sacrifice one and only end up with two main profiles. Just be sure it's where you're comfortable with using regularly.
Despite I have opened three to four (inkbunny counts), eventually I focus on FA.
Why? Not about less or more exposure.
I'm just... not multitasked. I even abandoned inkbunny because I just can't focus enough to another account aside FA
No worries, everyone will be able to see my works in the end. Not that it's really much! :)
