Ah it makes sense. Twice I've tried to leave FA because The only attention I was generally getting was critical or negative, but after the second attempt, I was told by many people that I would be heavily missed if I left, since then I haven't had any issues uploading here, but I have lost a few former friends in exchange for some new ones that have just come across my work. Still, I check IB heavily as well, so I'll happily look out for you there.

infact my reasons are quite the opposite this time: i've not been uploding any "actual" pic here in YEARS and i will not actually leave FA as an user,just as an artist. plus,i seem to have formed way more tight-bond relationships on IB in a few months than on FA in years (with the exception of a good number of faithful followers following me since years ,and infatc,ended up following me also faithfully on IB) because,aside from you,there haven't been much more people with which i created an actual friendship in-depth (i can name Taggs_tg/GeminiJC , Cap or Furcollector just to name a couple of those with which i had teh pleasure to share a little more than just "views") and this because FA is the largest furry site existing,so as in a true big city/town it gets much harder to keep and find a great number of users willing to experience a continuous "web friend" contact with you,which in turn,on IB,now the site is still realtively "new" i can take advantage of the (momentairly) not-immense number of users (in comparison to FA) to make new friends and get in touch better with all of those who followed me on FA along these years ..plus, unlike FA,i can get the opportunity (if well-exploited) to get a slightly more "central" role into helping increasing the site content with my artworks than with FA,where i'm barely a pebble (oaky,a small stone ,i give you that x3) right at the best time to do it on IB,since the userbase is growing up hugely and many peoiple that were on FA (included you) settled almost steadily on IB now. be clear, i'm immensely grateful for having found a TONS of people as fond of my artwork as keep following me anywhere i went on the web (and theyf or a decently consistent list so far) but i just feel its time for me to get more involved in a maybe smaller community (for now) but surely in need of "workforce" more than FA :) and of course, i know you will always follow me on IB and everywhere,as i will always do with you ^W^

Hehe! So much room to expand the galaxy and when one road is completely explored, it's time to move on to the next one! Long as I don't feel unwelcome to a site (like Weasyl) I'm happy to stick around, but yeah. it's all good! FA had it's ups and a lot of downs. IB has yet to have any downs in particular, making it a very friendly community (I think most of the narcs went to Weasyl). To the next level of infinity!

As for me, I plan to always keep my FA account...I get on this site about every month or so and post a load of stuff I've been posting elsewhere since I've been on this site last.
I too post almost exclusively on IB, and would post more often on SF if they didn't have the technical problems that plague them.

So much for that. Ha.
