Posted 17 years agoI'm sick of the weather- and season-themed FA front page updates. Can't they just say who drew the banner and be done with it?
Vote no on Prop 8
Posted 17 years agoGood lord, the fact that this is even a debate annoys the shit out of me. There are no arguments against gay marriage that can't equally be applied to interracial marriage.
HELP FURAFINITY BY MAKING A DONATION
Posted 17 years agoIt's cute but... argh. Spell check the name of the site please D:
PCA
Posted 17 years agoSomeone should write a greasemonkey script to filter out all submissions with "PCA" in their titles.
The "Poke-Combat Academy" is dumb. I'm sorry, but it's objectively dumb.

Want some rye? 'Course ya do!
Posted 17 years agoAWESOME. I have a lot more respect for FurAffinity now.
I should go play that game again. With a guide, of course. (The game is completely unplayable without one.)

OpenCanvas clone?
Posted 18 years agoI noticed that everyone uses a bad outdated version of openCanvas to do online art collaborations. And it tends to crash and eat people's work, doesn't work on Mac, is difficult to set up, etc. etc.
Would there be interest in a free new openCanvas-like program compatible with oC? I could possibly look into writing such a thing if I get time. I may get a Tablet PC in the future, so it'd be ideal to experiment with. Reverse engineering the oC protocol in order to make it compatible would be of top priority.

RANT: ArtSpots is stupid
Posted 18 years agoComing from the perspective of someone who will never be an artist, I would like to submit that ArtSpots is fucking stupid, just as Yerf before it was fucking stupid.
There's this idea that everyone who complains about "quality controlled" art sites is just a disgruntled artist who didn't get in. It's for the benefit of the viewers, y'see. We viewers who don't want to wade through crap and refrigerator art, blah blah etc. Maybe it's true that some furry art fans or whatnot like it, but I have a feeling that the only people who really enjoy the whole "exclusive club" shit are the artists who are in the club, just so they can enjoy their manufactured e-cred.
Why do I need the admins of some art site to tell me what I want to look at again? I'm perfectly capable of determining what art I like. Do we really need a bunch of reviewers protecting is from the horrible unimaginable scourge of BAD ART? BAD ART ON THE INTERNET?
Look, I know the real reason for "quality control", and it's because some artists look at other artists they perceive as less deserving in some way or another, and they see how they get a lot more pageviews or commissions and they want some way to shut the rabble out. But think about it. Why do you care about pageviews and internet popularity? If it's really that important to you and you're that much better, use your skills to draw popular art. If you think that's compromising your artistic vision or whatever, then you shouldn't be caring about popularity in the first place. And as for commissions, there isn't any way you can force people to commission you or buy your art, so it's a lost cause. The popular artists will get more commissions, and that's just economics.
Let Yerf die already. The only people who cared about it after its disk crash were the reviewers and artists who were already on the site. Stop pretending your "quality control" bullshit is for the benefit of the masses, and get over yourselves.
