I can almost guarantee between FA's staffs wording, deleting comments, and handing out permanent bans over criticism that this site is no longer a free and open place to post art or discuss.

I will be setting up on weasyl, inkbunny, deviantart, and continue to expand upon my patreon page. FA staff has proven that they are falling down the slippery slope of censorship and appeasement, regardless of what they parrot in the forums or on this site.

If you regular people don't think that this is that big of deal, I ask you look into the story of www.digg.com, censorship and manipulation destroyed that site in under two years once similar policies that this site has rolled out.

I encourage other people to do the same that I am doing, set up somewhere else. If you have to use FA to reach the crowds keep a placeholder page, vote with your feet and don't keep your main draws for traffic here.
