It's been what...almost 4 years since I submitted a picture in my 'Nude Furry Slave' series, after my August 13, 2014 journal posting. I still see others posting pictures from IMVU and Second Life, and are not harassed, not bullied off by others misusing the reporting tools.

As of 2014, only 18 of a total of 55 have been submitted on FA for everyone to view and enjoy. Right now, the only locations you can view them are in the IMVU product catalog, or in my private home on Second Life.

Thus, the question at hand: Shall I resume with the series, or do we still have the 'Elite' few that think what they say, goes, using the moderators to do their dirty work to have those they don't like booted off FA?

I would hope after 4 years, things would have improved so everyone could enjoy sharing their pictures, and others can enjoy looking at them without the haters.

My last visit to my favorite MtG and Transformers supply was Wild. Just when I thought I'd seen it all....

All I could say was "HOLY {DELETED}"

That's right, I finally started using Second Life.

KronosRiker is my account name. (Duh, That obvious). I'll be normally found in the furry-friendly locations.

From the FA AUP

4.1 - Screenshots of applications, games (e.g. GMod, Second Life, Minecraft), movies or websites that do not showcase new, original, user-created content are prohibited. The use of in-game resources, such as blocks or purchased parts, to create the aforementioned content is permitted.

IMVU is not a game, it's a 3D Chat program. You also have to purchase items in IMVU to customize you room, and avatar. Some individuals have been bullying off digital artists that use programs like IMVU, using the Reporting System and the moderators as their weapons of choice.

As stated in the part listed, The use of in-game resources, such as blocks or purchased parts, to create the aforementioned content is permitted..

It still grinds my gears that bullies are mis-using the reporting system to get rid of users they don't like. If they are going to dictate who should be here, Might as well shut the site down, as it won't be long before the bullies and haters have control of the site, and everyone else has either left or been grief-banned.

A good friend and artist has given up posting good pictures on FurAffinity this week, bullied off by hateful users who used the mods to do their dirty work.

How did this happen? Well, it seems a group of users didn't like her work. They spammed her pages making threats. When she didn't comply with that group, they decided to abuse the reporting system and grief-flagged her, making the Moderators complicit in their bullying activities.

Before you start ragging on me about Me dissing the Mods, Let me make one thing clear. This is not about the hard working mods who do their job the best they could, it's about the malicious users who trick them into doing what they want. Those users found a way to game the system to get rid of users they don't like, and make the moderators do it for them.

When The founders of FA created this site, I doubted they wanted such activity to take place. I didn't think they would have wanted hate, bigotry, and bullying to take hold at a place where one should be able to share their art, be it pictures, music, or writings. I seriously doubted they wanted their moderators to be used as weapons of hate, either, for others to use to get rid of ones they don't want or like.

So, what does this mean?

Well, First of all, I'm not going to continue to post any artwork on here unless it is related to any writing or song I post. No more. Don't like? Blame the bullies.

Second, I catch anyone harassing an artist on my watch list, THEY WILL BE REPORTED AND BLOCKED. No appeal, no mercy. Why should I show mercy when they shown none to my friend and had her bullied off FA.

It's time to take FA back, away from the hate mongers and bullies.

Oh, I'm in a freakishly good mood...

My replacement motherboard arrived 2 DAYS EARLY!

I already got it in, and my system is up and running. All I need to do now is to transfer recent files from the Pavilion to a USB drive, and we'll have things back to Awesomeness normal.

Best $20 I ever spent.

To quote Professor Farnzworth...

GOOD NEWS, EVERYBODY!
I just spent some of my birthday money on a replacement motherboard for my dead system. If nothing goes a muck, I should have it up and running again by the 7th of August....$20 on eBay.

Oh yeah, We're feeling groovy now.

Something I had not considered just gave me more options.....

Why not replace the fried motherboard?
Well, Direct from HP, a replacement Motherboard for my HP Compaq dc7800p SFF system: $500+

GEEZ BEASTIES THAT BUGGER IS EXPENSIVE AS HELL

So, Other Option: Google and/or e-Bay.
Lo and behold, Motherboards from as low as $20, although in various conditions. I would rather go with refurbished, or get the most bang for my buck.

I might go this route, but get another motherboard as a spare.

Well, I have started saving for a replacement system. After having to deal with a License renewal for July and other expenses, including my $30/month internet costs, we are starting out at $10.....

At this rate, it will take over a year to get a replacement system, but I'll still be able to go online with my old HP Pavilion 7905 running Windows XP sp 3...

I do have another option. I can temporarily disconnect from the internet for a few months, saving the additional $30. I might even get my $90 deposit back. There are a few drawbacks.

1) I would have to borrow a connection again, and use my PortableApps pendrive.
2) Disconnect/Reconnect Fees, along with the deposit (for the cable modem)


Plans for the fried system? It's crap. I'll salvage what I can, hoping the drives and RAM will work in the replacement system (SATA 80GB HDD, SATA DVD-Burner, 2x 1GB DDR2 RAM)

That's right. I had made a Furcadia patch using the first 44 pictures I had at the time I uploaded to a patch archive. It took a while for the website to get it available (Technical issues on their end, but the site admins were very helpful.)

http://archive.roamheart.com

It should be on page 2 at the time of this posting.

Anyway, the Zip file should contain the picture patches, patch info and PDF reference.

As of 5pm Monday June 16, 2014, my HP dc 7800p SFF system was declared a dead system, having suffered a Video/ Motherboard failure. Right now, I'm using my old HP Pavilion 7905 running PCLinuxOS, but this is a MAJOR downgrade from what I got used to.
What this means is...
1) I can still go online. Online Chatting may be a bit restricted, but programs like IMVU are not possible (IMVU dropped support for the HP PAvilion 7905 at version 429)
2) I can still access my e-mail, and other online accounts, which means I'll still be able to upload more pictures.

I have already priced a replacement system on TigerDirect.com. With Shipping, it would be about $150 for a refurbished system, like the dc 7800p. The problem is I don't have that available, and won't for a very long time due to a very tight budget.

For now, I'll have to get by with what I have.

Man, this really sucks.

Oh, yes, we are posting pictures used in my Nude Furry Slave wall hanging series on IMVU on FA.

I'll only post a few (2-4) at a time, considering there are currently (as of this post) 50 of them, the first one done in 2009. Yeah, That's a lot of avatar changes, scene changes, equipment, and credits spent, as well as time taken to create the pictures.

Programs used: IMVU (Of course.) and MS Paint- Windows XP version, GIMP on a few.

After posting a teaser chapter on FA and SoFurry, it seems only one furson took the time to read and comment on it.

Still working on the story, though, and am working on chapter 12.

Still undecided on the series title, but that can wait

I recently started a small project.

Remembering a few RPs done with friends past and present, I started a story series that might be good to post.

Right now, I have them on Skydrive with access give to a certain number of friends. I may post a teaser chapter to see how it goes.

additional: it's about 9 chapters, with a 10 being started. I may even post maps.

I have some good images I would love to submit here. I have a series of pictures of tastefully done Nudes of a few select furries that I call my "Nude Furry Slave" series.

Well, Evidentally, I can't post them here. Why?

1) I used IMVU to generate the scene and avi in the pictures. Evidentally IMVU would considered a "Character Generator"

2) They were made from screen shots while on IMVU.

Too bad. They are REALLY good pictures in my opinion

-edit- It's possible I might have mis-understood the AUP, but better safe that sorry.
