When this site went down about a month back I was thinking about not renewing my password here, I mean it wasn't like I am going to be submitting any new content. However it dawned on me that maybe it would be smart if I did because there is actually a lot of work on here I don't have up on other sites or even know where I have them backed up. At this point I'm not even sure that this site is even trust worthy of keeping my existing artwork up on. So with this I probably will be breaking a promise I made to all of you when I first left......I most likely will be taking down my artwork here.

When I haven't properly decided as I've still gotta decide if I will just be putting it up on some new website, or become more active on Weasyl or something. Either way I though I should say this now because it's the honest thing to do, and frankly I don't wanna surprise anyone about this. Either way I will tell you were I will be transporting this gallery to for those who actually are interested in still seeing it.

As some of you have known I left FA some months ago, no this is not my decision to return but rather me using this otherwise dead account to make my reasoning more clear, particularly since I have been getting some people asking me for a while. Yeah I had some good times here and made some good friends, but sometimes you need to let something go when it becomes more hassle then good.....such is the case with FA. Simply put the site is a dump and it only seems to get worse. For a while as many of you know I was contemplating leaving for a variety of reasons be they technical or ethical.....I just had enough of this site's bullshit!

Personally I think more people should pack their bags personally because I am hard pressed thinking of a community hub that has less respect for it's own community then FA does, you all deserve better then what this cesspool has to offer. If nothing else those recent security issues further proved that not only are things not going to improve here, but rather continue down it's long winding path of diminishing returns. I think that honestly should serve as a wake up call to you because this community not only deserves better, it can do better!

For some time now I've been toying on and off with the idea of leaving FA, not because this site is a buggy piece of shit but because of the severe lack of ethics seen by the staff. I've had my reluctance to go because in many ways FA has been a good place for my silly cartoon art and I've met a lot of nice people here that I consider friends, but that is only half the story with this site and in that time I've seen some disturbing things regarding how this site is run and good people get fucked over just because they wanted to just be decent human beings.....for me the final straw came in the form of the incident with Silver Eagle, either way I just feel that after the many chances I've given FA I just can't support this place anymore.

I wanna thank all the people who have followed my art over the years and I wanna say I will be moving all of it only other sites, so if anyone wishes to find them and consequence me...I will still have an online presence, so please to drop me a line if you want! I hope to see you all around online in general and if I don't I honestly wish you all the best. Have a good time everyone.....and fuck you FA staff!

That really came over more like an advertisement for mt Twitter then I'd intended. Actually it was addressing the fact people have asked me about my slowness to reply to things like notes. Some folks have been wondering if there is an easier way to contact me because sometimes I don't check my FA for days on end.......which admittedly fairs better then my DA which I almost never check at all.

Again if you wanna catch me the fastest your chances are best though my Twitter which I requent but either way I will try to respond to you here where I can if that poses an issue.

No I'm not saying I'm leaving or anything like that.....not this time at least, but I've definitely been feeling more connected with lot of people over on my Twitter, particularly since a lot of good people have kinda been abandoning their FA accounts, If anyone wants to catch up with me more I would recommend people doing it over at at my twitter because I will be able to get back to you much faster and more frequently.

With that said I would like to update my FA more often, maybe with some more new art coming soon. There has been a lot of things getting in the way and as such I haven't turned out anywhere near as much art as I'd like and that I have often I'm less satisfied with and feel it not worthy of uploading or just things I never seem to be able to get finished.......Either way I hope to turn that around soon and I wanna thank all you who've stuck by me this long.

Mystery Science Theater 3000 could come back provided it can get the crowd funding, seriously this might be the most impressive kickstarter campaign ever! They have nearly reached the goal of funding for the first 3 episodes but the ideal is for them to get enough to fund a whole 12 episode new season. If you were ever going to back something on Kickstarter then this is probably the best thing you could!

It's odd that I got so many unwatches based on the fact I stated I don't want porn or fetish pics drawn of my characters, with the ammount I've spouted off about my own asexuality here I would have thought that would have been well known......oh well. I know some people think I should be flattered that some people are attracted to my characters, I'm not offended or anything but the idea is just so alien to me, and in a way my characters are like my children and to go along with it kinda would feel like I was prostituting them.

Like I said before, I'm not offended and I'm not angry to those who have unwatched me....I guess I'm just hoping to help people understand my feelings on the matter. No matter what you guys are still great, so stay groovy everyone!

Just a heads up to everyone in advance, please don't ask me if it's okay to draw porn of my characters....the answer will always be "NO!"

Seriously, let's to this!

Tomorrow I shall be taking down all my Twitter journals because I'm milked the journals well beyond the point I can logically get away with, but maybe I'll post a link to it in my profile or something, so I still encourage to seek me out there because I will be far more available there.

Well I just wanna say that nothing about my current departure from FA is a final decision. I dunno if or when I would be coming back, could be in a month or it could be never.....I just don't know at this point. All I know is that FA itself has made me feel unclean lately, increasingly so and it's not a good feeling. This largely comes down to how the site is run and it's like seeing the site fall into a deep pit.

Reason I may comeback however is because I know some truely lovely people hear and formed friendships I don't wanna let go of. Many of you here are fantastic and I live you all (in a platonic sense ofcourse) but to many other things about this site have become a toxic environment and I just feel I can't be here.....at least not for the time being.

You can still catch up with me on a regular basis here on Twitter.

I've kinda had it with FA, I've had to put up with so much with this site but it just keeps sinking further and further into to the abyss of shittyness. The last straw for me was seeing an MLP sex plush toy ad on SFW only 2 says ago.....this was after they supposedly fixed this problem. So that's it, I gotta get out of this cesspool...at least for a good while.

If you wanna follow my work still please follow me at Twitter, the place I'm actually enjoying myself atm.

When I joined the site I did't expect much, the 140 character limit seemed like a put off and I kinda expected I would just sorta slip in unnoticed. To my surprise Twitter has been astonishingly kind to me, I got a very warm welcome and have already met some nice new people I'd like to get to know better. For those of you still thinking of avoiding the site it might be worth reconsidering and those who are there feel free to say hi!

Just like every time I join a new site where people I know might inhabit I tend to shamelessly plug it in upcoming journals for a while. Well now will be no different, even in unrelated journals a small section in bottom of my journal we'll be advertisement for it....but why wouldn't wanna seem me write things that expose how truly out of touch with modern times I am, while I struggle to adapt to the 140 letter limit!

Because it's only newly made I for a little while be more active over on my new Twitter account then I shall be on here. So on the very off chance you need to talk to me I might be easier to get a hold of over there. Saying this though I will try to get back to people on here from time to time........besides that I feel I could use a break for a little while from FA and the consistent stupidity of it's administrational discussions, at least for a few days.

https://twitter.com/Slainmonkey86

Yes folks I've finally joined the 21st century and got a Twitter account.....I suppose I'll put stuff up on it at some point or something.

.......kinda seems like Disney is trying to out do Robin Hood for being their biggest furry gateway drug

We've lost the last of the classic horror actors and one of the most prolific actors in cinema. RIP Christopher Lee, you shall be missed!

Honestly that in itself dosen't bother me in the way many other things on FA has, I mean when you look at how bad a job Neer did with his ownership of FA, can you really see IMVU doing as bad a job as he? Now granted I get why people are pissed off they were kept in the dark about something that could effect them for so long, I mean this in itself shows that FA's promises of transparency was a complete lie to shut the concerned users up. However think that it's worth going in open minded because they would be hard pressed in making this site anymore broke it already is........besides I think the bigger worry is that Neer seems to see it fit to hide who the current mods are, dispite being a further break in they promises for "transparency", it kinda makes me wonder what other bombshell the staff might be hiding.

Yeah given the screw ups of FA over the years it comes as a surprise that they actually fixed the issue with the notes by adding a button that makes it optional to switch back to how the notes used to be......and it actually works! I'm actually surprised, but I am as good as my word and will give FA it's due......not something I've done often.

Trust the incompetence of the staff here to actually make the site worse when claiming to improve it. Ironicly the notes system was one of the few things on this comedy of errors of a site that used to work just fine, have you ever heard the saying "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"? I guess we can't have this site running too well, now can we?

The moon in the new Majora's Mask remake looks like Freddy Krueger now........that is all!

Being asexual in the broadest possible sense I feel maybe gives me a unique perspective on things around me, to me the notion of sexuality and things like kinks are completely alien. However with that perspective to me makes all other sexualities and kinks (provided harmless of course) to be created equal. Now one thing I've noticed during my time on FA is that there seems to be something of a kink hierarchy with some being perfectly accepted and others really looked down upon, which strikes me as ridiculous.

Seemingly on the very bottom on this hierarchy are diaperfur/baby furs, who with this community seem to be highly looked down upon. Now while I only know a handful the diaperfurs I've met have been nice and even at times even shown themselves to be moral people. Now sure I'm not saying saying that they all are, but people like them really don't deserve being tarred by such a tainted brush. On top of that the main argument on FA seems to be the potential connection it may or may not have to pedophilia, this on FA is most baffling since when the main people seem to hate furries as they think it bares a connection to beastiality.....which people fail to realise that they are making the exact same judgment themselves.

Well I don't wanna go about trying to hit people over the head with a point, but I feel it something that needs saying. I guess I hope that my own unique perspective on the matter might help people see things just a little differently.

Someone needs to attended a furcon dressed as a poacher!
