FA+
Shop
Out.
10 years ago
Gonna keep this short and sweet.
I do not like the acquisition by IMVU of FA. I do not trust the new owners to protect our community or its interests, so I'm pulling out.
If you're an artist I've comissioned, and you see this, note me for contact info. I'll likely still want to do work with you in the future.
For everyone else, I apologize in advance for the massive gaping holes in your favorites lists over the coming days. Check under the Support tab for ways to remove them from your favorites galleries.
For watchers: I dunno if or where I'll setup shop again. Might be tumblr, might be another site. I likely won't announce it here, but I'm sure you'll find me anyway.
Good luck to everyone.

I give as little data as possible to FA, so I don't really worry about what they do with it. But, yeah, a site I use just got bought by people I've never heard of. Easy to distrust.
Oh well, at least it's far easier to move a digital home than a physical one.
If I feel the environment is still welcoming enough to offer where my new home is, I'll make a journal. That said, if you know my FA name, I won't be hard to find.
IMVU, much like FA was, is a business. They would not have bought FA if they didn't think they could recoup their investment. Based on their business practices, I personally hold no confidence in whatever their long term plans for the site may be.
It's for that reason, and that reason alone, that I'm packing up shop over the next few days. I don't intend to burn any bridges with the FA staff (at least no more than I likely did with Dragoneer over Twitter earlier), and wish them the best of luck with this acquisition. As a third party, however, I reserve the right to pull out at my discretion.
This is that choice.
