Dear cloudflare: fuck you
General | Posted 10 years agoany time I come here I gotta do the following
*select the images that contain a house
*select the images that contain street signs
*select the images that contain street names
*select the images that contain grass
*select the images that contain a stadium
*select the images that contains a river
here is your one time use code that expires in 2 minutes
oops, looks like this IP was banned because it's a known tor exit node
*cycles into a new IP*
*select the images that contain a house
*select the images that contain street signs
*select the images that contain street names
*select the images that contain grass
*select the images that contain a stadium
*select the images that contains a river
oops, looks like this IP was banned because it's a known tor exit node
rinse and repeat 3-4 times.
if that's not enough, images will break randomly for lulz
and whenever I save ANYTHING from this fucking website, I always get a 5.57kb file, whether it be text or image, and will contain the stupid cloudflare capta bullshit inside it, how the fuck that's even possible is beyond me, then I get to refresh whatever im trying to save 4-5 times and it'll magically finally downloads the actual file.
going to this cunt of a site is literally a 10 minute ordeal for me

FA is slowly killing itself
General | Posted 10 years agoLet’s face it, FA is ran poorly, it’s users are treated poorly, it’s security is poor, why keep subjecting yourselves to this? at this rate this site will die.
while I would suggest to fully jump ship, I can see why people would (somehow) still stay here, all that I ask is that you make the conscious effort to broaden your horizons, keeping all of your eggs in one basket will only end badly for you.
the better alternatives are https://www.weasyl.com/ with the help of http://exodushelper.com/ and https://goo.gl/fLQWwr (weasyl crossposter) then you have https://beta.furrynetwork.com/ with it’s own import tools, you literally cannot say “well it’s too much effort to copy my shit over” it’s mostly done for you.
“this drama doesn’t affect me”
it does and you are wrong, FA is actively silencing public outcry over its actions, guarantee 90% of the hidden admin messages were messages to better knowledge yourself of what’s occurring, while I cannot link anything here, a quick google search would yield several sources.
“but [ARTIST] is here and I don't want to leave”
then basically copy and paste this message to them, since it’s the sad reality of what’s going on, and kindly nudge them to start cross posting, yes it would be more work for them, but they get the assurance that a single website can’t kill their business, and they’d get more exposure while doing it, it’s a win-win.
“I am an artist and my fanbase is here”
as above, take the effort to broaden your horizons, it’s a win-win especially when FA does eventually come to a close and your business along with it, you have zero excuse to expand.
for those that don’t heed this warning, the signs are there, the site is killing itself, if you insist on staying here and only here when the end of days come, you’ve only got yourself to blame, you’ve been warned several times on FA by users who were permanently silenced for doing so and on social media

"account disabled"
General | Posted 10 years agoknow what pisses me off?
when someone writes a journal detailing why they're closing their account, you haven't read said journal and it's in your inbox, you click to go open it
"DURR DIS ACCOUNT IS DIABLED LELELEL"
kinda stupid to bitch about i know, but im honestly curious as to why someone would close the account and not explain anywhere else, and expect you to be glued to this shit hole 24/7 to read something like that

RE: FA Forum Status fender journal
General | Posted 10 years agohttp://www.furaffinity.net/journal/7062788
Seems like here, FA, you are trying to frame the forum mods as bad guys by claiming we didn't sign the NDA that "protected user data", which in truth the staff didn't because you had requested government IDs off them and your insistence that they sign it especially after the FATransparency leaks were very suspicious.
Dragoneer, you said yourself that no one would be removed from staff if mods talked shit about FA, yet Renashe was removed from staff for that exact reason. Renashe is one of the most community focused people I know, she only strives to do what's best for the furry community. You could've used her as an amazing asset yet you threw her in the trash because she was "too critical".
But lets get to the important point:
The FA forums community DECIDED ON THEIR OWN MERIT to split from FA. THE COMMUNITY WANTED IT by an 80% margin on the forum poll carenath made. WHY WON'T YOU LISTEN TO THEM? This is a problem with FA as a whole. Each time staff members approached you with community focused ideas, we hit brick wall after brick wall of stubborn upper management. You claim you care about the community but you won't listen to them.
None of the upper management were even involved or even reached out to us during this mess. It was only Yak that was trying to liaise with us. It seemed like you didn't care at all and wanted to push it under the rug. You didn't say ANYTHING until your overlords IMVU got involved. Even they saw how messed up the situation was and how your silence up until this point was completely unwarranted.
I am severely disappointed but not at all surprised that you're trying to go into PR spin mode instead of being absolutely honest with your users for once and admit you fucked up.

Lost respect with an artist
General | Posted 10 years agoA particular artist (not going to be named) decided to migrate over to patreon, they are using patreon as a Pay Per View setup, they'll draw, crop like 10% of the image, post that to FA then link to patreon.
Fanbase? fuck them, they're $$$ now
Respect? what's that?
What gets me was that they posted a journal saying "im still posting art to FA weekly, dont say shit about me" was basically it, I casually point out "you're last ACTUAL posted image is 4 months old..." Then someone left a reply to me, I try replying to that, I found out that the artist in question has outright blocked me for pointing out the obvious that everyone else can see, I wasn't rude, I wasn't a dick.
The artist in question is however a dick. they burned their fanbase, they hide any and all artworks behind a paywall, *here's a cropped image of a toe, click here to spend $15 to see more* posts on FA, then block anyone that has the least offensive comment.
You sir/madam have lost any and all respect from me as a fan, you are forever unwatched, and I will tell this wonderful tale of bullshit to everyone that I know.

** RING RING, RING RING **
General | Posted 11 years agoWell, let me tell you about the absolute worst, most sickening nightmare I ever had. This one isn't for the kids. OK, so there's this huge pile of crap, right? It's shaped like a giant tank, and it's walking around on two legs, goin' on a rampage and stompin' on people and houses and stuff. And this giant turd is carrying the nastiest missiles you ever saw. Like whenever it launches one of its turd missiles... whatever it hits - people, trees, buildings - turns into shit. My hometown, my old school, my family, my girlfriend, old man John... Everything in that turd's path turned into shit.
**RING RING, RING RING**
General | Posted 11 years agoSnake, what's up? Why are you naked? I know there's a "NAKED" option under "UNIFORM" that lets you take off the upper part of your uniform. But without a shirt on, your camouflage sucks, and your stamina goes down faster. You don't get any advantages whatsoever.
