A wise choice, good luck.

Thanks bud! See you there.

um...i don't wish to sound rude, but how does leaving solve this?

It doesn't. Although they might take note to the backlash (many others are moving out as well), I just don't want to use a site which is led by people who condone this sort of behavior. I might come back when things clear up and I can forget about it, but for now I feel pretty bothered by this.

I do understand that.
I dunno, i'm jsut not sure leaving's going to change their mind unless it's like done en masse. So far, of the 700+ people i watch, 5-6 have left, so i'm not sure if that's going to happen.

As far as i know, it's more speculation than anything and it's not really my business. Besides, i still support the people i follow/commission, not the staff.

Like I said, I'm not leaving to "make a difference," but if enough people did move out, that would great! It's just that some of these people in charge have a harmful and disturbing thought process and I don't want to think about it, nor do I really want to be involved with their work - aka this site.

If it gets cleared up more to the point where I'm not concerned, then I'll feel much better as well. I've met some amazing people here as well, so it does make it hard to leave behind (which is why it's likely that I'll come back sometime later). Not to mention this is where I get most of my feedback and commissions. If it were easy for me to leave all this behind, I would have deleted by now.

In short, I understand your concern, but please know that I'm only leaving because of how I feel about the situation personally. It makes me pretty uncomfortable, that's all.

And i understand that. Well, i don't have a weasyl now (mainly because it's another site to manage and my art sucks) and i do have a DA, but we'll see. It's something to consider.

Hey now, your art doesn't suck! It's totally fine, really!
And that's understandable, it can be a hassle getting your artwork up on other sites all the time. I have a DA as well, the link is on my front page, if you're interested.

ok :)
I'll be sure to watch you there.
Also, not to my surprise, Weasyl keeps going down (might be from the influx of users)

Oki!
And yeah, I noticed. That's likely the cause.

I will reopen commissions when I finish this list! If you'd like, I will gladly add you to my waitlist so that when I reopen, you'll already have a slot snagged and you won't have to wait in a long line.

That's totally fine! I'll put you on the list. When I reopen commissions, I'll get back to you and ask for commission details.

Good luck getting that artist's commission! It's pretty hard to get their attention sometimes. :/
