So, I get home from work, come here on FA, and I see a handful of journals about FA being sold to IMVU. "What is all this fuss about, anyway?", I wondered. I read on the "IMVU Clarification Post" journal, the Dragoneer's post on the FA forums about this site's partnership with IMVU, and Dragoneer's journal on the sale. There's a couple of things I'd like to share and state involving this matter.

IMVU have been major supporters for FA. (Have you seen their ads here?) BAsed on Dragoneer's post in his journal, IMVU was the only potential ownership group he could trust.

"IMVU offered to help the site with funding and support the site as is. They're the only group who didn't want to tear it down, but help build it up. That group: IMVU. They wanted to help fund the site and support it in order to help grow their large furry community base."

As for how FA will be managed, to quote Dragoneer's post on the forums (3rd paragraph):

"Going forward, FA will continue to operate independently but with IMVU’s support and resources to upgrade our services. We can now work on improving our infrastructure, adding more storage, making performance improvements and improved coding support to reach our full potential."

This may actually be good for the site. It doesn't sound like IMVU will have control over FA, but will help this site with adding storage, upgrading the site, etc. If that's what will happen here, why complain?

I'd say, before making automatic judgment on this matter, let's give IMVU a chance at their partnership with FA and see what happens over the next few months or so. Again, this may actually be better for the site.

One final note: If you would like to discuss this in my journal, please keep the comments civil.
