Back with a vengeance!

... Or maybe just a soft mewl.
Well, anyway, FA's back up for the time being, and since I don't have a proper journal to christen the occasion, I figured I'd make just such a thing.
To those concerned, yes, I'm likely to mostly use the services provided by this oh-so-lovely website for pornographic purposes, which by no means insinuates my PROVIDING content. Thus, don't be too tragically insulted if I don't bother +faving all of your clean art and instead focus on some egregious quantity of pictures focusing on the male anatomy. To that end, keep in mind that there is the odd pic or two which truly earns my respect and adulation for purely artistic reasons; these should not be ignored - they are in fact the most deserving of your attentions.
While I'm at it, I should also mention that I have no intention of ever uploading a picture of my character done by a friend to my account. I find the practice insulting artists who so kindly share their talents - by no means do I (or anyone else for that matter) as the requestor have any right to claim credit for the creative output of another. I wish some people understood how self-centered such a thing makes them seem regardless of the permissions granted.
Ok, I'm done a-rantin'. Let's see how long FA lasts this time, shall we? ;)

It's not so much that you're taking credit for the artist's work literally as you're attracting attention yourself that really ought to be directed to the artists. I feel that's kinda self-centered.
So I dunno when you joined or what images you saw, but personally it seems a bit better. It also (as long as you don't have assholes for watchers) helps the artist by spreading there work around outside of there home-base (so to speak)
Like me, although no one seems to have posted what gifts I've made, I'll allow you to post it, as long as you would put
"Image © :imagechaosdragon11590:" or anything similar, so it links to my account.
The idiots that then think you are taking credit, or stealing art can shove the comment where the sun don't shine. And I hope that comment won't offend you, heh.
So yeah. But again, everyone is entitled to your own opinion. It's true faving also works, but on occasion, most people check out someones gallery, and perhaps the small list of favorites on their front page. At least from what I know.
I guess my beef is with people who genuinely think they had a major hand in the art and talk like they do. Ya know, like the artist didn't really matter.
Still, in my eyes it's really up to the artist to post his own art. I'd rather link or direct people to new artings than have people watching my page instead of the artist's page.
