★ No Longer Posting to FA - FIND ME ELSEWHERE! ★
5 years ago
Long time no post!
If you haven't noticed already, I haven't been super active on here lately. My last art post was about 6 months ago, which is the longest I've gone without posting on here ever, I think! It's time to move on. I'll be honest, for the last few years, FA has not been useful at all for me. I have over 10,000 watchers on here, but I'm barely able to scrape 100 views on most of my posts, and rarely get many comments. While views/comments aren't everything, it certainly is discouraging to post to a platform where I feel like I'm shouting into a void. I think most people are here on FA for NSFW art, which is fine and well! But this place no longer really serves me and I don't feel the need to advertise my art to an audience who is mainly here for content I do not offer.
I don't plan on disabling my account at this time, or deleting my artwork (might just move everything to scraps?) - but I believe this will be my final post here on FA. I thank all of you for supporting my art & career over this past decade, and if you so choose, please feel free to continue following my work on one of the following platforms:
★ My Website
★ Patreon
★ Twitter
★ Instagram
★ DeviantArt
★ Telegram Commission Opening Announcements
Thank you all so much!

-edit- nevermind I see it was moved to scraps heh. Still sad to see you abandon this place. :/
- I hate Deviantart and what its become, so I'll never be going back there. Eclipse completely killed it for me. Lots of bad memories. Sets off my ASD and Anxiety big time.
- Hate Instagram too. Too complicated to use. Doesn't really have favorites or something akin to retweets. Sets off my ASD and Anxiety big time.
- Twitter....I guess is okay? Gets lost easily on my timeline though. Can't favorite stuff to look back on. Can't search for things I've retweeted well if at all.
- Don't have money for constant/multiple Patreon subs.
- Website is nice to have for info, but not something I'd be checking regularly nor would I get notifications neatly organized like FA.
- Telegram....eh. Too much to keep track of. Not very organized. Lots of bad memories. Sets off my ASD and Anxiety big time.
I'm not a fan of DA's new "Eclipse" either, but as far as a "gallery dumping ground" goes, I prefer it to FA and have had more success over there.
IMO lack of NSFW isn't why you lack views
FA is a husk of its former self, which is surprising that it could do that. As a result, it's what you've pointed out, about how you may have many followers in number, but they're no longer active. Other sites have swept in and taken the place of FA, much to the detriment, but self-infliction, of the site here.
Wish you the best in moving on from here, and hopefully you're able to recapture that audience.
