About the whole Admin/Weasyl thing
12 years ago
So from I understand, a lot of people are leaving FA due to someone on here getting stalked and Dragoneer refusing to do anything about it.
Not to be blunt but I'm not really buying that story. She admitted that this person was stalking her in real life, and online and such. Banning said user wouldn't solve anything really, since it's just as easy to locate another PC or laptop (especially if he has friends). And even if Dragoneer did ban him, how on earth does that stop said stalker from stalking in the real world? Realistically, calling the cops would've been more effective in my opinion, but I digress, each person solves their problems differently. Of course banning him probably would have saved some nasty e-mails and such, but that's about the only thing it would've stopped.
Eh, I don't know. I'm just trying to look at this objectively. If you know any other details, feel free to let me know!
That said, I have no intentions of leaving FA, nor do I intend to set up an account on Weasyl, simply because I've tried setting up multiple accounts on various furry sites, only to never use them. Not to mention, Weasyl's site looks shoddily designed. I also have to big of a base on here to just up and run away, so I doubt I'll ever "leave" this site.

Which is honestly no big surprise for this site.
Let them go, they'll be back in a few weeks after Weasyl's servers crash from the influx of furry porn.
As far as I'm concerned if they leave then so be it; less of the dramatic people for those of us who stay to deal with. Dragoneer really couldn't change anything, I believe his words were spot on, it's a situation that they themselves should have taken control of, as opposed to wait for the supreme opinion of the owner of a website. :T
Either way, I'm staying put; glad to see you are too~
As long as all of my +watchees are refraining from jumping on the latest bandwagon, then I don't have to worry about making another account that I have to maintain and check up on.
Seems simple enough.
