So, about Furry Artwork Multiupload website...
9 years ago
General
When life gives you lemons, burn life's house down. Preferrably with life still inside.
This thing right here: https://upload.foxpaw.in/
...I was looking at it earlier, and friend of mine brought up some valid points to consider.
1. Disclaimer states the site can connect to multiple accounts on furry websites, and upload artwork there at once. Wouldn't that mean you have to enter your login information for said accounts? So you're basically handing them over your login credentials and potentially, access to your personal information.
2. This thing popped up literally out of nowhere just mere days after FA's security breach. That kind of makes it look rather suspicious.
I am definitely not gonna be using it until it's proven to be safe. Actually, even then I most likely won't be using it. I just don't like the idea of handing my FA/whatever login info to a completely unrelated website. Plus, they can claim to be secure all they want, so did FA's staff and look at what happened. 8T Besides, like I said....the site appearing out of nowhere just as FA had a huge security breach?

Can import entire gallery to FN
I'd avoid it like the plague, honestly.
For Inkbunny, there's already the FA and IB approved FA2IB.
There's the crossposter for Weasyl.
And FN as a built in one.
Call me paranoid but that is exactly why I am having issues with this...FA has a security breach, people express their desire to move their artwork elsewhere but don't feel like doing the uploads pic by pic....all of a sudden, here comes this website that allows them to do exactly that!! And it lets them upload on their accounts on every big furry website! Totally not suspicious!
The confinience of it's appearing is... questionable
Edit: I'm stupid and didn't see the link. Nevermind.
I wouldn't use it though; i like to micromanage my own uploads
Yes, you have to enter your login information for said accounts or it doesn't work at all.
The chapter about security makes it look safe to use but it smells like a marketing trick, its target group is those who're leaving FA after the attack, those people are worried about data security so promises about high security is really good way to get them to use the site.
It should be considered as a phishing site until it's proven to be safe.
Step 2: Login to possible secret account detail stealing website and mass upload your pics
Step 3: Change your FA password back to your real one
Am I missing something here?
