IMVU and FA - some thoughts
10 years ago
It's very hard to find the right words, not especially because English is not my first language. It's because what happens to FA. And HOW it happens. I feel depressed and I am tongue-tied because of what I read here and there. I ask myself, who can I trust now? If I read other members statements, there's a lot of loss of trust. Nothing is clear, many unanswered questions, and of course I don't trust a company like IMVU.
On the other hand, here are many, many members, from watchers only to great artists. FurAffinity is easy to use. Clearly represented. I really do like FurAffinity. So I don't know what to do now. Maybe I will erase my gallery, too. Maybe not. It depends on what the next days will show. But I am not satisfied with what's going on.
Some people wait for an answer because they sent me a mail. I will answer soon. At the moment I am too confused - I feel knocked out somehow. FurAffinity was... is... a nice part of my online life.
Yours, Arnold Coon

If FA stays the same, as Dragoneer says it should, then then is no problem.
If IMVU comes in and ruins the site, then you can remove your art and use one of the other art sites that you've established yourself on. By sure to leave info so we can find you if that ever happens. Leaving now, before anything here has actually changed would be premature. Just have everything in order and prepared, in case things turn bad.
My personal opinion is that Dragoneer is trying to do his best for this site. But, I absolutely do not trust IMVU. Anyone who reads through their page and looks up their history, can easily see that they are not trustworthy. They convinced Dragoneer that they won't do anything bad to this site, but they have yet to convince FA's users of that. I hope Dragoneer is right, but I fear he is wrong. I think IMVU is going to turn on him in a bad way. It's as if he made a good-looking deal with the Devil. I trust Dragoneer's intentions 100 percent, but I have doubts about his wisdom sometimes. I must remember that he has access to information that I don't have, but putting FA in the hands of a non-furry company does not seem wise at all, no matter what they offered.
I know what you mean about feeling knocked out. I feel it too. My head is spinning from this. I am staying right here, in this place I call home, until something actually happens on the site that forces me to leave. As a precaution, I am bringing my Inkbunny up to date, as it's sort of like my second home on the net.
