Becoming Inactive on FA
9 years ago
This is for several reasons. From lowest to highest significance:
- My main work is the LP work. Of the three websites, this one provides the least convenience when it comes to actually reading my content. Since screenshots are a large part of things, simply reading a description-section transcription will not cut it.
- I have heard plenty of complaints about FA, making me kinda wonder about the longevity of this site. Yeah, sure, it seems too big to fail, but then again, Skype was big, too.
- Uploading to three sites concurrently is... a pain, to put it mildly. Though, if this were the main issue, Weasyl would be the first on the chopping block, since I'm getting less attention on there than on either of my other two upload locations.
- There is a bug which prevents being able to edit story submissions. This major bug has, from what I've been able to gather, has been present for several years.
- The person who owns the router integrated, long story short, router-side ad-blocking. All well and good, but the server I need to access to upload content was apparently a casualty (the timing of when the issue arose supports this). I would ask him to make an exception, but aside from that being a potentially awkward conversation, he had a hard enough time getting the thing set up in the first place. I'm not sure if he even knows how to make an exception. Plus, I don't know exactly what the URL is that needs to be unblocked. I doubt it's as simple as "uploadification.furaffinity.net" or somesuch. I'd probably still try to get things going somehow, if not for all the above issues.
Anyway, my Weasyl and DeviantArt acccounts may be found in, naturally, the Contact Information section. I can still be reached via the notes system in FA.
