*hugbacks*

I wish I could move to Weasyl, but that collections thing annoy me XP i understand cutting down on duplicate submissions, but what if we want to post art of us that someone did for us, and that someone is not on weasyl yet XP what do we do?

Good question. I don't know. I guess the Weasyl admins, whom I have never talked to, would probably say that you shouldn't post it at all. Or maybe they're not as hardcore as that and they'd say you can post it, but if the artist ever gets a Weasyl account and posts that art, you should take yours down. Not sure.

I do see what you do mean Jennie because it is always good to branch out and just try to not have all of your eggs in one basket but really FA is a great place when it is up but when it is down then it is good to have other places to fall back on in order to post things such as that but I am glad to hear that you are staying, that is great *Hugs*

*hugs* :) Yep, it's just so that if FA goes down, and we all know that happens, there's somewhere else to go.

*Hugs back* :3 Yeah that is the same case for be but until that actually happens or if it ever does it is just good to know that there are other options to fall back on.

Oh, I'm sure there will be FA downtime in the future. It happens. :)

Yeah I am sure of it as well, that is why like I said only time will tell and when it does it is just good to know there are other places to move until it is over :p

Indeed, I really should put copies of my art up elsewhere on the net, but have thus far been really lazy about doing so...

Yeah, well, I'm being pretty lazy about this reposting project myself. I've gotten into 2012 with my art but aside from a few very recent things, there's lots of 2012 and 2013 art to post, and to 3 sites.

*snuggles you tightly* soooo happy that your staying *dances happy* as I said to Gem, I find it almost impossible to keep up with other sites, I kinder find it so tireing especially when I'm not that well, and sadly that's my current norm. I would hate to lose you as a friend, you really mean a lot to me *happy purrs*. Everything I currently have here is uploaded else where and given my three year artist drought and often no fur content I don't see a point in moving the content of my account elsewhere.

Since I woke up it seems that the whole FA has gone mad, with people leaving or disappearing, it's a really upset me, perhaps more than it should. I love all of the artists I watch as they really made my day and make me feel a little little when I need it most and some of them are wonderful friends. The exodus makes me worried that well, I'll be left on this site alone >..<

*hugs* so glad your stopping yey!

Aww *hugs* Well if you keep track of those other accounts, or some of them anyway, then if FA has a week-long downtime again or something, you can at least talk to me on one of the others. I'm not taking anything down off FA, just posting it to multiple sites. And at the moment at least, I'm limiting it to my own artwork, not things I've commissioned. That's because there's enough to do with just my own art, and because some people have requested that their work not appear on certain sites, and I respect that, and somewhere I have the note that says who those artists are. :)

It's been pretty crazy, no two ways about it. This is what they call mass hysteria. But it will eventually calm down; it always does. The people who are going to leave, leave. The ones who are calm and stay, stay calm. We don't hear from the upset people who have left, because they've left, so the environment gets calmer. Some of them eventually calm down and come back. Others don't come back. It's just how it works.

Anyway, the hysteria stops here. :) *hugs*

*massive huggles* and I know your right but I suppose I just worry that people are leaving and the idea of supporting by association a suspected rapist kinder worries me too but.

I kinder fancied putting up a babyfur safe haven art site when FA was down but well it's just not possible! given my health.

I agree that having multiple art sites as a artist is a good thing but as I'm no longer a artist of any kind i suppose I'm just useless with things. I am thinking about publishing all my photographic works on my new personal site and perhaps in a book but I have little desire to develop my backlog and publish it.

*cuddles you tiredly and mews happy*

I don't know anything about this person ... I absolutely agree that rape is a horrible thing, but I also can't take sides on something that I know absolutely nothing about. In fact, I'd prefer not to know about it.

I hope your health gets better! I also think you should publish your photographic work. (Of course, I also think that your family is what's wrong with your health and you need to move away.) *hugs*

I'm confused about everything in regard to the guy and I'm trying not to think about it too but I suppose I'm thinking too much. Thank you for the wishes and I agree so much about it being my family being part of the issue just wish I was still with it enough to stand on my own paws, perhaps not as much as I used to (that could get us kicked out) but a little bit spirit would go a long way.

As for my photography, I have to make my mind up in the next few months as the rolls I shot in 08-10 that are living in our fridge will be well and truely ruined if I don't develop them soon, but that might be a little hard, since Jessops (a chain camera store, that were awful but could order in chemicals, if you twisted their arm) closed the north east has turned in to no place for the film photographer and with delivery firms being almost imposable here (really, currently we are having to fight to get something delivered, something they claimed that they tried to deliver but no one was in, but they left no note or knocked then when we called to arrearage they sent it back!) that might be a little hard, granted a kitten like me shouldnt be playing wif chemicals but .....

The minilabs here for c-41 colour are dreadful, badly maintained (and to think I used to work at one that was really good, now even that unit has a bleeding garden hose on the side because the owners couldn't be bothered to get it fixed properly by fuji) leaving scratches and water marks all over them and thats not including the "Lomo" students who keep messing with slide film via c41 colour for a laugh, making the chemicals bad, it ruined my granfathers party as before hand they were really good at it, it broke my granddads heart.

Thinking about doing a remastered book of the work 06-10 but I'll need some level of health back to do that. I used to use a epson film scanner that I got from freecycle years ago for my digitisation and it worked really well but naturally it had some level of damage not visible in the prints or negatives but when it bit the dust my mother got me a really fancy one from some place that I didn't know of but it is quite good and very high res and thats a bit of a problem with every little bit of damage made worse but if I thought it would be worth my while I would do it and given that you might like it I'll do it =^..^= *huggles tight*.

Yeah its all kinda gotten a bit silly, I know iakhot, liljdude and myoti are going and we already discussed zinky and tetarga (but they left for other more personal reasons than FA drama) Ive had a weasyl and inkbunny and sofurry and DA for years like you said, dumb to keep all eggs in teh same basket right? but FA has always felt special really I dont know why but it has a chemisty the rest of teh sites just dont

Yes, if it weren't for the community, the people, I probably wouldn't be on FA. It's not for the beautiful user interface or the social networking features. But now that I think of that, if any site had an awesome user interface or brilliant features, but a totally hostile and toxic social environment, why would I ever want to go there? I guess I just realized I said something obvious just then. :)

Anyways, I'm hoping that at least some of these people come back -- I super hope that all of them do.

*hugs and waves and ticklehugs* :)
