That's it, I'm off!
11 years ago
Please note, this is a personal decition; I have not been mobbed or in any way forced to make it. Also note,
I hold no grudges or bad feelings to people that choose not to leave FA. The notion that people are forced
off FA is one I have not seen anything of. I have, however, seen a load of furs mocking those that decide to
leave FA.
Please don't. For whatver reason someone choose to leave, it is their reason. You do not need a convicted
rapist on staff to leave. You may simply feel uncomfortable with one thing or another that has been done.
My reasons are several. I, for one, am fed up with a 90's looking layout and severe downtimes. We live in 2014,
with web sites that have advanced functionality that would GREATLY benefit a site like FA, yet, the site is so
outdated, it's not even funny.
Secondly, I have a close friend whom I have so much respect for, more than most any in the fandom. She was
stalked, also on FA. The way the FA staff dealt with this was just awful. For me, this is not a rumour. This
is directly from the source.
And no, I have no evidence that the new staff member is a rapist. What we have seen, however, is again how staff
has reacted to it. How someone is ridiculed, how it, no matter true or not, has become a joke, laughed at, etc.
This is behaviour I expcect the staff of a site like FA NOT to have. FA staff has access to private locked
messages, etc. I expect such a staff to show a LOT more professionalism than they have on such a case.
Again, I am not going to hold it against anyone who does not share my view. This is my personal feeling. I am
friends with, and will continue being friends with several furs who have their profiles active on FA.
Just do not comment to this post saying "Oh but you don't have any proofs!". Because, really, I am not saying
the guy should be sent to jail. I am just leaving FA.
