Jumping Ship?
12 years ago
Ok .....alright.....i feel like its time I finally say something thats been pissing me off for ages.
Ok so i see everyones getting weasyl accounts and I've seen a few jumping ship from FA Claiming about how horrible it is and how the admins suck ETC.
So I havn't really had any major beefs with FA and SOME people have......BUT THATS FUCKING LIFE PEOPLE!!! We are human beings we make mistakes and we are not perfect and I myself have personal experience in trying to play damage control and its hard to please everyone all the time. Im sure dragoneer and his staff dont always make the best decisions based on what WE think THEY should do.... but thats what makes them the ADMINS. I'm sure if everyone had their way they would have done things a little differently but who's to say what YOU would have done wouldn't have made other people MAD AT WHAT YOU DID?!
I think you guys are forgetting one major factor here. FA brought us together as a community and while it has its flaws and its imperfections, I hate that people get all fucking bent out of shape over someone elses problems and start blaming the Admins of FA for not resolving it. It's obvious the problem happened both in and out of FA and as such the person who was being stalked should have taken more drastic measures then just trying to get that person banned from FA. I think we all know that if we feel threatened to the point where we think that someone could potentially harm us in real life then its time to take REAL LIFE MEASURES. Because if someone knows all our personal information ....then getting them banned from every place they are bugging you online does NOT mean they will leave you alone in REAL LIFE.
But then again that is human nature......to take shit for granted. You all take FA for granted. Do you remember what life was like BEFORE FA? Probably not but let me tell you the furry community was divided into smaller groups on other social networking sites and forums etc, and it was down right hard trying to meet all you people and see the things you've drawn and the pictures you've taken all in ONE place. Then FA came around and it was a dream. We were able to talk to and meet new interesting people and share stories, art, pictures, music etc, on one site. BUT now that the shock of having something so wonderful has worn off, now you start looking for all the bad things. The things that piss you off.
Like the random down times that can take a few minutes, hours or even a few days. But thats ok......because it should remind you of how nice it is to HAVE FA! So instead of bitching up a storm and pissing and moaning about how something thats free for you to use isn't working correctly or is down or the person who runs it is a dickhead.....Just imagine what it would be like if it wasn't here at all or if it never was to begin with. You know if we were all PAYING to use FA then it would be a different story.
This isnt any different then buying shit online. 9-10 times the only people who leave a review on a product tend to be the people who just generally have to high of standards and don't like something because it didnt live up to THEIR expectations. So a product might have a lot of negative reviews simply because the only people who are making the reviews are the people who had a bad experience. Ive found personally that about for every 1 negative review theres probably 20 people who liked it who simply didn't leave a review because they were happy with what they got.
Do you always leave a positive review online for every product you buy and are happy with? Probably not. So why leave FA simply because a few people are dissatisfied with their own experience here and feel that things should have been handled differently.
I dunno........my opinion.......people are a bunch of whiny cry babies who don't know how well they got it.
If you were broke and had no way to get to work but someone gave you a car that needed a little love every now and then to keep it running ......youd be happy right? Its better then nothing at all. But i see a lot of you being happy to have it at first ....then getting mad whenever you have to get new tires or brake pads or oil changes and calling the car someone gave you for free a piece of junk because you have to put up with the matinence or the crappy gas milage. You cant be happy you just HAVE a car. You want something that never breaks down and never has a problem because your ungrateful.
Yall need to stop complaining about shit all the time and just be happy you got something so nice instead of nothing at all.

The man deserves a free beer from every one of you.
And with regards to the recent drama, anyone who thinks the admins didn't do exactly the right thing is a dolt.
