My stance on Furaffinity. [Important]

Everything revolves in its own time, regardless of your own desires.

Now, what to say....
I'll try to stay as consistent as I can, currently my focus is keeping the accounts listed above up-to-date. So yes, Furaffinity, this entire site here, has been compromised. Yup. And apparently some other accounts of users that share their FA password with other sites are still hacked at this moment (although to be fair that's a death sentence waiting to happen). So if you see the list of "where to find me" journals well there you go. Typical furry drama right? Right? Err... Right?
Okay so for those new to Furaffinity, let me remind you that this isn't the first time that happened: http://stuff.veekun.com/fa-timeline.html
Sadly this is the big one, the website has been compromised, meaning everyone's infomation, private messages, emails comnecting to Paypal, all taken & copied to use for who-knows-what and a few artists are still trying to regain their damn Paypal account before they can return to this outdated cesspool of a website JUST to finish their damn commission work! So congratulations, you just found out that using Circa 2000 for over a decade was a terrible decision. And yes while this was beyond the control ofSean's "friends" turned FA's staff this time, it didn't change the fact that it would've been prevented long ago: http://twitter.com/DeoTasDevil/stat.....255049216?s=17
What to do about it? Well:
To the artists: Finish your current quota and carefully decide where will you go from there once it's done. I personally do not recommend to stay in a compromised website, but if you're willing to take the risk either way then by all means. Just do not use the contact list on the profile options.
To the followers: Look at the journals. Like, actually look at the jounals and not erase every single one first!It is important now to see what is going on here as it's very possible that your favorite artist may not return if they leave. If you truly care about the individual (or just their material) then I would suggest to pay attention to where they will go.
As for me.... I just have this nasty taste in my mouth. Since early 2007, Furaffinity has been the first step to joining what is now called the Furry Community..... Heh, community... it fits the title now doesn't it? For over 8 years, I've seen so many of fuzzies look out for each other in desperate times, gotten each other out of abusive residences, even marry each other... no seriously, there's a fuckload of you guys with rings on your fingers. In fact look: search for "proposal" and see the mess of artwork. We are alot more than just an individual island projected by having different accounts to look at things (or just a furry version of DeviantArt), we're alot more than just a bunch of derps in one measly site. We're all together on this I suppose....
Anyway, my decision. I go where the community goes. I don't (nor should I ever) rely on a website or just the people running it. I never did. Never did like the current staff either, or the overall neglect, or the popularity contest required to join said staff, or the fact that emails are (presumably) being sent about the site compromise solely because a few furs threaten to either sue or tell the (almost as incompetent) CEO of IMVU about something that won't alter their ad-revenue money gained from here.
You guys? Well I'll do my best to make copypastas of (non-personal) journals from the other hubs. I'm not using this as a main platform anymore, in turn the art uploads stop here. I'm still going to keep up with
nyfurs though, can't leave ya crazy fucks just yet! If I wasn't incompetent myself I would help organize a few furmeets in NYC myself! Going to try keeping up with remaining artists that exclusively post here. But for now I'll go keep the other places up-to-date in between my studies. It's been a fun 8+ years, you guys take care.
