I'm writing this journal to let you know that I am NOT pleased with FA's new management, or their inclusion of porn ads in their ad servers. I am a clean artist, and I do not, by any means, want my artwork associated with blatant porn. The fact that they would do this at all makes me incredibly uncomfortable about posting here in the first place.

And, yeah, the thought of leaving makes me sad (especially considering the awesomeness of the fandom) but I can't risk losing real-life opportunities because of IMVU's mistakes. Fortunately, IMVU has said they're going to make it right, but if they keep screwing it up like this, then I'll have no choice but to leave.

Now, before someone points out the obvious: yes, I realize that FA allows erotic art. But there's a huge difference between erotic art (which has a long, long history in the art world) and outright porn. Besides, every other art site allows erotic art as well, so the stuff you find on here really isn't *that* much different than the stuff you'll find on DA, or other art sites when it comes down to it. Even the porn on tumblr annoys me less than this, because it can't pop up randomly on my tumblr page.

I plan on staying for now, But if FA keeps going down this road (since it's obvious that they care very little about the community) you can find me here:

http://aboveclouds.deviantart.com/gallery/ -- finished artwork
http://abovecloudsart.tumblr.com/ -- works in progress. I haven't used it for a few years now, but I've recently wiped the dust off of it and I plan on using it more in the future.

(Note: I have adblock on, but it's not like everyone uses adblock at all times.)
