Something that worries me about people leaving FA/ also con

Rant somewhat:
This has just been a thought of mine lately since I know FA has been going down this constant downward spiral. I've personally been really positive about the idea of people from this website at some point getting fed up and just leaving FA for an actual competent furry site. Though I now feel like that's never going to happen. You can't get a whole community to just leave one site and go to another over night, It's impossible. Instead, it's been a really slow progress, Which is terrible. Every artist I see that has chosen to leave FA is not helping the fandom. They leave to another site that I'm totally cool with joining and watching them, but like a month after they realize they get more attention on tumblr, they just leave for good. The last thing I want to see is a furry community solely based on some shitty social media site, but it feels like that's what's happening. Every furry that's done this, I've just lost all contact with. I just feel dumping a website that is actually apart of the community for tumblr is a terrible idea, you're just disassociating yourself from most of the community. I dunno maybe I shouldn't worry about it, but I don't like the sound of it. So many people I've watched did this though. I just don't want the fandom to become really impersonal like the other fandoms, but it's eventually going to happen, and FA and tumblr are just helping it get there faster.
Ok sorry about that, anyways.
Furlandia:
Going to furlandia this week, I'm going to be ded on all my accounts for all of next week, but I do have some stuff planned, like more designs and drawings n'such. Also once our website is up, I'll get started back on that comic series I was working on.

That's.. terrible... i don't know a thing about tumblr, i tried making an account and couldn't get into it, but i can say it defenitly doesn't have that 'artist friendly' feel. Even if business is better there doesn't mean it is better.

yeah the layout always confused me. I think artists who moved there did it for convenience since they didn't have to work on getting back all their watchers, more than likely they grew a lot of watchers on both FA and tumblr at the same time, which is why it's like the main place popular artists will go to after deciding to leave FA.
