S'not like anyone would read it even if it didn't have an actual title.

Before I get a potential stream of comments saying "nooooo don't leave", I'll outline this here, I'm not leaving. Yet. The unfortunate truth is that currently FA is where the majority of the community is, this is unlikely to change any time soon, unfortunately. However, I will not lie that the recent decisions made on this site are decisions I disagree with, however it is a private site and in the end they are entitled to these decisions. Again though, that doesn't mean I have to agree with them.

I will not lie that FA isn't my "home", "hub" whatever anyway, that's my tumblr (art only here), yes not even Weasyl as so many have been flocking to.

The idea however, that just because a specific issue doesn't affect someone specifically isn't a valid reason to leave a site is appalling. Hell, I'd argue the results of people being bothered by this and speaking out is more than enough reason for people to leave. Hell, what actually does bother me the most is the fact that so many are willing to turn a blind eye because "it doesn't affect them", but that's just humans for you I guess? Even I'm guilty of that.

Though then there's those of you who will openly, and almost harass users because they're leaving. "There goes another sheep", "It's just drama just ignore it", "It doesn't affect you, just stay and shut up", "Just remember where you made your friends" etc. There's a plethora of reasons why this site is toxic, yes I'd rather people leave by their own choice when not essentially prompter to because of another load of shit, but people like turning a blind eye as I said. "But you'll find them every site you go to" isn't exactly a good reason not to leave either. yes there's shitlords everywhere, who doesn't know that? Then there's those of you who seem to be under the impression the only way to improve matters would be to stick around and offer help, I know some it's sheer naivety. Some haven't been around over the years to see offers of help turned down or ignored, and haven't seen almost year after year broken promises from the staff.

I will be slowing down my uploads here, not that they weren't technically anyway, in favour of updating Weasyl more, not that any art community has ever been updated more than my main "hubs" before (Trust me, the last time an art site was my main location was 2005 :B). Again.

And some various links to some tools people have been using 'cus that's always useful

http://projects.weasyl.com/soft/ <--- Manual FA to Weasyl watch checker. You still have to add people yourself, AND you'll have to make sure it's right. Use the Vouch function so that correct results appear higher in the list.
http://fa-exodus-database.tumblr.com/ <--- A tumblr set up to try to archive the locations of artists who left FA. I'm not exactly a fan of the name, but this catalogues people who have submitted their details to the blog and aren't all Weasyl exclusive
http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/5430602/ https://www.weasyl.com/journal/24296/welcome-to-weasyl <--- Aggro_Badger posted a huge link resource for people shifting to to at least setting up on Weasyl with more info.
