which artists were they if I may ask? and it is a shame this occurred as well given I was wanting to see what could have come out of this funk mixed with the recent pony mentions you said.

Well, Varus-Argo has left so far or is going to soon. I also notice a lot of empty holes in my favorite pictures folder all of a sudden. It's just discouraging is all.

ah yeah I noticed he left this morning and now has locked his page from the outside I have yet to go though my favs here but I know the pics he did for me are probably gone out of it.

He kinda irked me doing that. It's his choice of course, but knowing him fairly personally made this all hit home with me all of a sudden. Also, kinda worried the new interface they are working on might make this inaccessible for me in the future. Still stuck on dial-up here. :(

As much as BS has hindered my will to be writing myself over the years, who the hell cares if a few artists went whack and left this place or even lost touch. FA is a big artist website, so unless you known those artists personally I don't see what the problem really is tempting you to leave when you should be caring more about yourself and what you do here too for the other people, including myself, who watch you write nice works. Heck I would of asked for a trade or request with you ages ago if I wasn't lazy and stuff.

I think from a journal like this, the only one who needs growing up is you no offence, and to not let any of this shit get the better of you.

Well, one artist who left or is indeed leaving I do know personally. He drew some of the pictures I have up here on my account. All this wasn't really effecting me until then and now seeing several holes in my favorite pictures folder. Of course the other thing that worries me is the new interface they are supposedly working on. I'm stuck on dial-up where I live and there is a possibility that might make FA totally unaccessible for me. I really hope not, but if it does there is not much I can do about it right now.

Well that's still your problem, because really this stuff shouldn't be getting the better of you to where you can't blame us for you feeling this way nonsensically. If FA's update prevents you from accessing it anymore, then it happens though we'll just wait on you. Don't feel like you should give up over such things or I wouldn't of been here a long time ago if all the drama genuinely got the better of me. It's hard I know but like everyone else its take responsibility and deal with it without whining or going emo shit about the situation.
