Should I buy Fur Affinity?
11 years ago
Good Morning,
I've never really been one for journals on FA. I think it's silly especially since I have Facebook, Twitter, Live Journal and etc and so on. In the end you spend more time writing about things that piss you off than actually doing something about it. Getting to the point i'd like to make, i'm not going anywhere. I do however have a Weasyl account which i'll link at the bottom of this journal for those interested in following me there. That said I kind of want to buy out Fur Affinity since I have several people interested in creating something similar. However at this juncture I don't know if that would be a wise investment given people's propensity to hold a grudge against any particular brand for whatever reason. Countering that argument is the fact that it's an established name that would be easier to re-launch with a modern architecture. Granted that would piss a bunch of people off but starting from scratch is generally a good way to fix any lingering issues. Anyone reading this, let me know your thoughts in the comments section. I'll be happy to discuss your points of view but I wont be responding to any comments that deviate from the subject of this journal.
Regards

Personally, i like your idea. I think that starting from scratch is important as well as keeping the brand as it has seemed to have had the most running success. Though your changes would likely piss off people, look at Facebook. Facebook makes unpopular changes all the time and yet people remain.
