Another Downtime, Another FA->(new site name here) Exodus.

What's to say...
Glad to see that a majority of the posts are more to the effect of artists doing a healthy amount of `spreading out the points of social contact` more than loudly flailing that they're leaving the site at least.
Some of the features on other sites are neat... but none of them (still to this day) offer proper, highly functional migration tools with which to support a proper exodus. (Instead, they just announce that they're `not competing` which is clearly a joke considering the sites are in direct competition functionality-wise)
How about that lag on Weasyl while FA was down? Nothing like having to wait 5-10 seconds for a page to render/resolve.
Pretty as it may be at times it needs to handle these two issues just as badly now as it did at launch.
Anywho~ I'll still be here, and Skype and Steam and Telegram and Discord as always,

Tried to suggest this to Weasyl and they really didn't care at all.
No impersonators, new usernames work fine, nobody is forced into using it.
It's cool that FurryNetwork is at least willing to be direct and upfront about the fact they're allowing users to import very specifically from FA. XD
And of course it needs your FA password, so the tool is no good for everyone who's been locked out by the forced password reset.
