So has this latest DDOS been a lesson to you all?

The footer is the truth.
Probably not, a lot of you will likely stay exclusive to FA even though its attacked regularly, had several leaks in the past, and is made of crappy basic level HTML and stays in the past.
As for me, I'm on multiple sites. My favorite might be Weasyl if it brings back some of the things it once had. The other being FN, Furry Network. Though I wish they'd both have more staff around and people to listen to requests and such.
You know the reason those sites have "failed", is because most of you are thick, and stick to just FA, as if FA is the only place in existence. I've even seen an artist here ragequit FA, proclaiming they'll never ever come back. A pretty prominant one... and then she came back a month later. I always love saying "The artists stay because the watchers stay because the artists stay because the ....", and quite frankly, its true. You're all stuck in a loop. One of you has to make a different choice eventually, and the artists are the easier choice as the flock will follow them if most of the artists were to actually leave.
I for one, don't like FA, it never evolves, it just updates tiny little things and slight tweaks to keep you people from thinking that its stale and not being worked on. Last update was all about bringing back something they once had back when the site was an ugly boring HTML 1.0 flat thing. Nothing else really, few slight tweaks to the CSS. I wonder how many of you thought "Oh yay, they are working on FA, how nice!" when its simply not true. Look how nice and advanced the other two sites are I mentioned.
Weasyl for example, has, or had, a superior story upload tool. You could write stories right in the page with a rich text editor. Now you can upload stories via google doc embeds or just the stories themselves and it has a nice display tool that doesn't suck balls. FA just drops a plain text wall on you or a download only button so you have to download document files that can contain viruses.
How can you guys keep being satisfied with slight UI tweaks? Why aren't you demanding they do more? They sold out to IMVU for financial security, and now they're begging for more money with FA Plus or whatever the fuck it was called. xD God its just so funny.
Anyone remember that time FA had its notes all leaked? Or the time the database was hacked and all passwords, trouble tickets, bans, etc, were released? And the passwords were easy to decrypt, they all used the same salt, and yada yada. Why is it that no one here has ever realized that FA is going to keep coming under attack for as long as it lives. I'd say more, but I've already said enough to piss off the staff. Nothing in my journal is against the rules however so it can't be deleted.

Its a shame to see that people are still stuck on this bland never evolving site, everyone's just stuck here in this festering pool watching as every artist uploads "JOIN MY PATREON TO SEE THIS FULL PICTURE" and "YCH HERE BID NOW, YCH REMINDER, YCH REMINDER, YCH REMINDER, YCH REMINDER, YCH REMINDER, YCH REMINDER, YCH REMINDER" and the other annoying things. Literally, I had a YCH reminder for the same picture every 6-12 hours. Good lord. And the staff don't even have the tools to see deleted submissions so they can't investigate. xD

FA+

I just wish people would use other sites to, I hate being trapped here on FA where the staff could decide to issue a ban suddenly without warning just because they feel like it. Where my notes and such could be leaked any time. Where Zidonuke was hired without anyone's knowledge in secret to install backdoors and hacks into the site so he can at his whim destroy it suddenly or leak people's data.
screw this website ngl xdddd
And yes i could be called somewhat lazy too, with trying to migrate on other furry sites, but in the moment i have my personal 'Running system' here and dont realy dare to touch it since i may not have the time and engergy to establish things properly on other sites due to the shit here IRL that keeps me so busy and exhausted most of the time.
