(Other Sites) FA vs Weasyl vs SoFurry

Chai - Decius - Bianca - Kevon - Lauren - Partial
Rasalgethi - Red - Souji - Tagard - Terminal - Tick So I've been pondering this lately- not necessarily jumping ship to another site, but starting to upload more of my gallery somewhere else. I started on FA and have no intentions of leaving it, but looking at the other options out there, I'd really like the organizational capabilities of folders. IMO, it would be really cool to organize my commissions, so if you wanted to see my dressy stuff, click on the folder, and BAM! Frills ahoy! Or if you wanted to see my more babyfur content, (Since I seem to have attracted quite a few watchers of this nature) click the folder, and there it all is in its lavender scented glory. Want to see my ponies? There they are, not mixed in with everything else.
I've seen friends utilize these other sites this way, and I'm a little envious. I like having everything in its place. Not a fan of the chaos that is my gallery here, and the lack of control over it.
To be fairly honest, ultimately this would be for me. I do appreciate that my watchers seem to enjoy my characters, but in the end, I commission art for myself and my friends. You guys liking it is certainly a bonus, as it makes me happy knowing that Xaviera might bring joy to others as he does for me.
However, if no one is going to see it, it makes the effort of getting permissions from artists, uploading my gallery, and organizing it kind of a mute point.
So my question to you, my watchers:
What are your opinions of these other sites? Do you use them? If so, how frequently?

FA+

One thing I do like about SoFurry is the separation of general and adult content, but that doesn't necessarily mean much for me, since I don't commission much adult art of Xaviera.
I will certainly keep that in mind as well. Thank you very much for your input!
If I had to upload to more than that, might get overwhelming.
In your position, I can see where having more than a few accounts would get very overwhelming.
I keep meaning to use it more orz

Folders are a godsend. I'm a big organization freak so having it all in neat folders makes me sooo happy. I can move things from place to place easily and it lets you choose what comes up as a random main image from certain folders. Weasyl has less traffic, but it is easier to find things depending on whose page and how they set it up, but you can search for users and things of that nature.
I use both, and I find they are both pretty good resources. I looked at sofurry and the interface didn't thrill me.
I think I'm going to start cross-posting on Weasyl.
That being said, all of my art is commissioned; I'm no artist.
Maybe you could take polls on what subject you should commission next? Or go in on group commissions perhaps?
I sometimes post journals for group commissions, so I'll have to keep things like that in mind.
... But those folders tho.. X3
I like being organized like that.
But I can understand the difficulty of juggling mutliple accounts.
Fetlife is currently the only way for people to see my panties :3
But perhaps you'll be braver someday. I've found out that the mask helps a lot as it's not "me" posting pantyshots, but "Axcle" :)
