To be fair? To some people who have been here for years and all, this is just another case of "SSDD", or Same Shit, Different Day. Usually summarized with "promises, promises, promises" that the staff tends to make and then...maybe 5% of them coming to fruition? For example, before it was fixed a few months ago, that Commission Info tab was broken for the better part of three or so years. It's just one of the handful of things that either broke or were busted that FA has tried to fix over time and...honestly, their track record with such is woeful, at best, abhorrently dismal at worst.
Still, it all matters on perception. Some people fele that it's a free site for them to use so they'll take it and leave it, for better or worse. Others have been here for ages and are tired with poor administration/moderation, site functionality, and other major issues. Both sides are correct, in that regard. Enjoy it for what it is, move away from FA, there's no wrong choice.
To me, the only wrong ideas really getting tossed around (and which the "Community Issues, Concerns and More" topic fails to address in any way, shape, or form) is that everyone who is leaving is a jerk, a traitor, not a furry, or some other random mix of this or that (usually said with a lot more swear words). Despite everything, ~this~ is what is causing a nice divide in the community, whether they remain here or not. FA does not speak for the entire furry fandom, despite the site being a large example. But the people acting as if you have to be on FA or you're nothing, or that people should just get out and stop causing drama, are only doing the very same thing themselves and are perpetuating the same caustic mentality that helps no one whatsoever.

Just my thoughts on the matter, really.
