Heya, everyone. Just letting everyone knows that at any time FA has a situation like this, that I do have a Weasyl account.

Got nothing on there, but I guess what with it being a back-up, I might as well start using it more. Don't worry though, I have no intention of leaving FA. Trust me. =P

Also, I understand the downtime was unexpected, especially with how long it took to get the site back. And I'm sure some people who do commissions for a job or something were effected enough to move to other sites like Weasyl, SoFurry, deviantArt, and etc. 'Cause it's probably the best thing they can do to survive with real life. At the same time, you can't really complain if you know large FA is and the staff for taking so long.

I mean...if you were staff and you had to deal with messing with servers and hardware to move around submissions, notifications AND dealing with people complaining about them not getting the site back up fast enough, would you be handle that? I know there's no way I couldn't, but this is just my opinion.

Also, there's one thing to consider too: FA's not a perfect site..yeah I said it. Heck, if you can really look at it like this, there's no such thing as a perfect site. Every site has an issue that people just can't get past 'cause of whatever reason that comes up. But ya know, despite that, as long as FA's free for everyone to commune with and whatnot I don't care if FA has downtime like this every year or so. And if you feel the same way, then that's good to know. Just, ya know, even if the downtimes are unexpected, learn to plan something about in advance when it happens again.

Phew...I believe that's everything I needed to get out. Sorry that this is long but felt like I needed to get my point across. If ya don't agree with it, I'm fine with that, but I'm still sticking with what I said.

Have a good one. Feel free to comment below if you'd like to.
