Leaving FA
6 years ago
Hey everyone, so now that this website is actually back up, I'm going to post this announcement.
After seeing how this site is run, and the lack of urgency when it comes to improving their code, I just can't stay here any more. A while back, I saw leaked FA source code, and it was completely awful. I saw better written code from the students I tutored in college when getting my CS degree.
Unstable databases that require a complete wipe shouldn't happen. Adding extraneous features like shinies when your site needs MUCH more important updates shouldn't happen. Being complacent with these issues shouldn't happen
I am currently in the process of making my own, personal art gallery website for my art. It's pretty simple, just an Angular fontend with some node.js backend code and such. Until that site is up and running I will keep this account active here, but once I finish that site I will be closing this account, because I've had it with the staff/complacency with the state of this site's code.
As always though, I'm much more active on Twitter and always announce commission openings there exclusively. Please follow me on twitter at https://twitter.com/LugiaBerry if you'd like to keep up with me and my ramblings! I apologize to those of you who only watch me here, though. I just cannot take this site any longer. I highly encourage you to make a Twitter account if you still wish to interact with me. Otherwise I will be posting my personal website here once it's finished so you can keep up to date with just my artwork.

FA isn't a total dumpster fire but the more important things are.
I await to keep an eye on your art site because IMO I cannot use twitter as a substitute for this, it was not made to be such and it will never be such. It's just too hard to use for that.
DA, FA, And Wasyl are mostly left-wing sites. So I'm not surprised to see this happen again.
