*Sigh* This IMVU Thing That's Goin' On

So, I have no idea what's going on, exactly.
I haven't looked into IMVU at all; haven't gone to their page, haven't seen an ad (I've had adblock on my comp for a while now), so I don't really know why they're such a big deal. All I know is that people either don't give a crap, or they think they're Satan-incarnate. I've found myself in the previous crowd because I don't like drama and I don't want it to effect me. My only real gripe right now involving them is supposedly with the Sidebar, which EVERYONE hates as far as I've been able to tell. So doubt with such a unanimous backlash that's probably going to get fixed.
... But I will admit I have been a bit concerned. ... Not so much about IMVU itself, but people's reactions to it. There's a lot of artists on here that I really like, and that I want to follow and keep on following. But I'm a little worried about such artists disappearing to parts unknown; I know that sounds selfish, but I want to keep supporting them, and I'm worried that I wouldn't be able to being as scatter-brained as I am.
And to be honest, I'm a little concerned about my own presence here on FA. I'm not leaving... so don't worry about that. At least not yet. But with my time at my art school coming to a close and the time quickly approaching when I'm going to make the leap into possibly freelancing and doing art at a more professional level, I get the feeling that I may have to... peacefully divorce from FA in favor of utilizing more... 'mainstream' places.
Long story short, I really do hope this rocky road the site's going over right now gets repaired soon before everyone starts bailing out more than they already have.

Just as a reminder though, I do have a Tumblr Page, and a DeviantArt Page that I'm trying to build up; I also have a Twitter Account that I'll try to build up as well, probably fill it with random sketches and stuff. If y'all have any other suggestions of good sites to possibly settle in on, lemme know! :)

I'm staying because i need something much more concrete before i start jumping on bandwagons and honestly jumping ships after a tiny change is gonna give you problems in life if you don't stick and see where it actually leads
I don't get the issue with the sidebar though. yeah it looks like shit on the old UI but the point of all these updates is the beta ui, so switch I switched to it and it looks better. People bitch about the size of pictures being diminished for it yet they forget all the other sites shrink the pictures anyways leaving you to hit download or save to see a full picture.
