Indeed. Sadly, that's how the world works. <:'
*hugs*

I approve of this fart.

Granted, if you lose someone for that reason, are they the kind of person you want anyway?

I appreciate all my fans. Really, I do. I'm just alarmed that people are so irked by the desire for a safer, stable website. Why is it so offensive?

From what I have experienced in switching websites: some people take it personally when you leave the site they are on, as if you are abandoning them...even if you make it easy to follow.

People fear change, I imagine.

Because the sheltered babies want their entitlement.

Because things that benefit an artist offend viewers.
Higher prices, more enjoyable to make content, more 'fun' art - it wounds them like a hot scalpel penetrating their tender, discoloured, infected flesh.
Pay no heed to your watchers dear and produce content the way you want to; because in the end you are the one making the content, not them. If they make an uproar and stomp off in a huff then other people will trickle in who like your flavour / brand / general sort of way of things.

It happens, sadly. However, it did make me realize I wasn't watching you on said other site, so I fixed that c:

Hooray!

Same! Thanks! Though sorry about the watcher losses.

i agree with charry
they arent fans if they cant handle one piece of censored art

*pardon my bad language*
but f**k it :3

if they want to be that rude then let them. you will get new watchers that appreciate your art censored or not!

Seriously? This happened? You actually lost people?
Wut?

*shrugs* thaaaaats ppl

I like to use my imagination :3

Don't worry I'll still give you more favs!

how dare you censor MY FREE ARTWORK!!!

How dare you post art somewhere else I ONLY get my porn from websites that shelter rapists and I'm offended you'd chose otherwise!

I wish I could fave comments

Are you implying that everyone who likes/prefers this site is a rape apologist?

entitled babiesssssssssss

They probably just hate chairs

FFTTT

Clearly, if you don't cater to my every whim, you are unworthy of my watch. I will go air my glorious musk elsewhere.

THIS IS MY FAVORITE COMMENT SO FAR

I had something snarky to say down below, but dammit, I can't top musk.

No one can.

BABIES

FA gonna' FA

But I'd seriously use Weasyl a lot more if they would just enable users to see FA-esque thumbnails by default. It's... oddly a major sticking point for me.

^This is pretty much my main gripe with Weasyl. Being able to see the whole image as a thumbnail lets me quickly sort though and remove submissions that I have little to no interest in. I'd also like to see more and better management options (remove all, invert selection, etc).

see

they great thing about weasyl

is if enough peopple dont like something

THEY CHANGE IT. like. theyve done it SEVERAL times

whens the last time another website listened so intently

True, they have improved since the beta, which I had gotten in on the tail-end. I watch and follow lots of folks there and have no problem with an artist choosing how or where they're going to post their works. Though I admit I'm still very much in the habit of cruising FA by default. It'll take a while to break that habit.

honestly also thats on the artist, theyre given an option to crop or not to crop

Um you can? If the artist does not make a thumbnail or use weasyl thumbnail generator then it leaves it as the full image. If you see it as a thumbnail it's because they made it one.

see my comment to the person below you

You can. They recently changed their thumbnail system because a lot of people didn't like it.

Which bit of the settings would this be under, specifically? I just tested out Site Preferences to no avail.

It's when you go to submit a picture. You have the option of creating your own thumbnail or having Weasyl process it for you (similar to FA's way).

That's all well and good I suppose, but from prior antics where they forced folks too it seems most of the artists I watched from the great site-swap are still using thumbnails. It's not as bad as it was, but it's still plenty annoying. I'd known they'd allowed it, but 50-60% still sport the problem I dealt with. I do adore Weasyl for what it's trying to do, and I supported it back in beta. I just don't like the community's preference for the thumbnails as prevalent as they still are.

Floe: I put a censored picture on FA

Fans: (A censored pic on FA? How could you!?...stay calm.) Hey, anything you want. (All that cock taste, that sweet popcorn flavor. I love them and I can't HAVE THEM! AUUUGH! >:-E )

Floe: It's on Weasyl

Cock is part of this complete breakfast

Fans: I gotta have my Cocks.

WHO'S BEEN DRAWING DICKS?!

I just almost spit laughing all over my computer screen. Love that reference, thank you for that.

But seriously, I don't understand why people take it so seriously and get so mad? .__.

Care for some corn Pops?

Uhh this is the way that I'm thinking about it.

Floe puts up censored art directing users to Weasyl,
Fans don't want to spend time reading their submissions list to see censored art, and have to redirect to get "the full experience"
So they unfollow...

Is the number of people watching that important?

>post uncensored to both places

>advertise your weasyl anyway

look, i solved it

you wouldn't even have to post a follow up of how disappointed you are

everyone wins!

I did that for a while! I just wanted to give people more incentive. Perks for trying out the website: More porn! BUt whiney babies want it NOW RIGHT NOW GIVE ME

Its more that some of us have seen this before, with other migrations, and though some artists have the time to run multiple accounts on myriad websites (for some it is their job, afterall) its annoying for fans who have already settled on one site.

I'm staying here. I don't have the time or inclination to check multiple furrrybutts sites every day. I've got enough social media pings and messengers through my RL that adding another site to the pile, one that will in most cases be duplicate data from a site I already browse, is asinine.

Weasyl might be a great site for artists, but I tried it as a watcher and a commissioner and it does not appeal to me. It feels like a better place for artists to interact. That fact that some artists are trying to hard to lead me by the nose is annoying. I've made my choice. I already know its there and I don't have any urge to try it again.

Same here. I'll continue to follow you here, but I'd rather not add yet another site to visit.

On the other hand, I don't really understand why someone would stop watching you just because you'll be posting more stuff over there. While you're giving feedback though, I do have something you might want to add. I tend to be less likely to join sites that force you to register before you can access most of the content.

Sure, FA forces you to register before viewing adult submissions, (instead of letting you click "I agree") but I think we can both agree FA has several things that can be improved.

Thank you, nearly my thoughts too you have mentioned.
One thing i assume artists are missing is: I, the watcher, do not need a site highly adapted to the needs of an artist, i want one wich is to my likings, be it for pics or handling.thats why i never got the nerve browsing long time on da and it would not happen over an said site either.

A lot of people don't want to switch just because they don't want to switch websites. Even with all of FA's problems and severe lack of professionalism a lot of people won't care unless the issue arrives at their doorstep. Artists providing legitimate incentives to encourage people to move over is something that's required if we ever want to actually move away from FA.

*hugs tightly* I still love you! D:

That's vary..... Human of them. So i added you either way, its not like its that had to have an account on more then one site. But then Weasyl is like 5th in line for how much i check it.

The only thing that keeps me from migrating to Weasyl is all the effort to move my gallery and having to rebuild a following...

THATS FAIR DUDE Same. But I'm trying to be aggressive about it. It takes some time at first BUT ITS SO GOOOOODDDD

Regardless, I watched you over there.
Maybe one of these days I'll find the time/motivation to migrate over there.
Maybe...

There are fancy tools just for this! :D

quick get me an avon bottle so i can save those butthurt tears they're leaking
how dare you try to get more people interested in using weasyl
like wow

so rude

I think you should just have images that are exclusive to Weasyl. Don't even post a version here. Make mention of this feature of your Weasyl gallery in your signature/footer or in your profile. The fans that you have that actually want to see more of your work will go and visit. The crybabies that just want fap material, well they'll just stay ignorant like they are now.

People who like cable aren't happy when you move their favorite channels to dish.

Consider it airing on dish earlier. :P

Eh, eff the haters, get pets and hugs. c:

*oh look at that pettings AND HUGS WOW*

*Snaps fingers in approval*
Coool, maaan.
Grooovy

Actually its not about the censoring at all. Its about the mild attempt at coercion. Floe has her opinions on the web sites obviously that's great for her. If she wants people to follow her there then let them know she is there and leave it up to them to make up their mind. That's not what she did with that image. She is trying to coerce via teasing sample to make people follow her there. Is it a vicious or forceful coercion no but it is coercion non the less. That can easily rub people the wrong way.

I do not think this is coercion at all... http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coercion

I know what you are getting at but the way you have come across does not show you in a good light. You are a kind and very articulate person but your arguments below are very insulting to Flow, not only as an artist but as a person. I have a feeling your emotions got the better of you on this one.

Its already been said but your definition of coercion is hilariously bad.

I never really understand the huge fuss really when artists do this thing (I don't disagree with you at all just to make that clear!). To me it reeks of either laziness or what basically can be comparable to blind patriotism, as you either got "I'm too lazy" or "Weasyl sucks" out of it in a huge huff. The latter always worry me because they seem unquestioning of the site at all (and later the likely inability to work as it relies on HTML4 when we're moving to HTML5 now)

It kinda reminds me of back in the day when dA did something stupid and everyone started jumping ship to SheezyArt (Remember there? hahaha). I wonder if there's an "Ant-Weasyl" group on FA....

Some people are just entitled assholes.

I say fuck 'em.

lmao awesome

Think of weasyl as a douche repellent, eh.

ITS 3 IN THE MORNING AND MY CHEETO STAINED HANDS CANT FIND MY DICK IN ALL THESE SAD ROLLS

WHY DID YOU CENSOR THIS MY DICK CANT GET HARD

WHERE IS MY DICK

-UNWATCH

"This artist decided to go change their policy in a way I disagree with, so I'm going to unfollow them."

"If you do this then you are clearly forcing them into thinking they should change the overall product because that's the only conclusion one can take from unfollowing one's work. Entitlement. Entitley Entilement Entitlemon. Entitlemean. Entitleblob."

I stand with ya on this floe. You do awesome art, nothing wrong with wanting better service, and yo haven't lost this fan. <3

If you truly enjoy the [thing] you go where you must to get it.

It's really the only reason I have a tumblr and now a Weasyl. Following you there when I have access to a real computer.

You didn't do anything wrong.

It really has nothing to do with censoring. Its your opinion weasly is better that's great go there have fun and let your followers here know. Don't try to coerce like you did that can be taken as rude.

all i did was say "hey

if you wanna see it uncensored

go here. i have preferential treatment for people who support a website thats run better"

im not coercing. im censoring porn i spent HOURS on.

jesus

is it coersion to block a few interesting inches of artwork that i fuckin made, to intrigue people to try something new

how DARE i

Yes it is mild and soft but yes. All you had to do was say hey guys my artwork is here and let people make up their own mind. But you are trying to coerce them with the promise of material that is not here and showing them a tease of it. That is a mild attempt at coercion after all you pretty much even say yourself its an attempt to get people to follow you over there. That is a mild form of coercion that rubs some people wrong

It's INCENTIVE. businesses do it ALL THE TIME with -SALES-. are you KIDDING me. have you ever seen a kickstarter? "SPend X amount of dollars, get a little prize". Same shit, just use a different website and get it FIRST

for fucking real bro

They are somewhat the same yes but the difference you are missing is all of that is an attempt to sell. What you are doing is trying to get someone to change there prefernce over something. Most know weasly is out there and have made the choice to stay on fa. You by doing this posting here are trying to coerce them to chane that choice. I am all for censored samples of pay work and have bought some because of such. This is just not the same. Fa vs weasly is a choice unrelated to if the art or anything else is worth paying for. Its all about opinions o where we want to be and you like your place better thata great for those of us that like here better you can share your art or not but posting teasers and saying come over here to the place you dont like as much because I like it more is going to catch some flack.

And Floe. I feel you want your wachers to follow you to weasly. I can inderstand that. How about intead of saying I dont care if you like fa better if you want to see full versions go to weasly anyway why noy sell us on weasly. Extol its virtues tell us why you like it more. I am sure you are likely to get more converts that way and not face such drama in the process.

What, you mean drama from disrespectful people like you? You've shamed her for her decision based on the fact that you feel "coerced". Here's my reco for you: enjoy FA QUIETLY and let the people/artists who enjoy Weasyl and direct their users over there do so without your commentary. It's you who are trying to coerce others by making them feel bad about their personal choices. Stay out of it and enjoy the site you like so very much, or don't. But don't take it out on Floe. Jeez.

I think you should look up disrespectful. It does not mean what you think it does it seems. I was never disrespectful to her. She seemed to wonder why people reacted like they did. This I believe is why. Perhaps I will address your other issues once you learn how to make your feelings and ideas known with out being disrespectful. Hopefully this use of the word will help you via context clues.

I don't think you understand how what you're saying is deemed as disrespectful. As a fellow artist I find it offending.
Sometimes your opinion does not need to be inserted in, even if you were just trying to point something out.

like do you not realize how entitled you are being

i spend HOURS rendering this shit. HOURS. and i post it for fucking -free-

i censor ONE thing and you start giving me "youre coercing people"

seriously. SERIOUSLY.

Im not being entitled. I dont care that the art is censored. Its why you are doing it and thata why you are getting blow back.

THIS

People overreacting when their free pornography is mildly less easy to access. :C

Keep it up! I'd wager the people who get physically upset enough to argue or leave comments aren't the kinda people you want watching anyways. :3

Wow, I wonder, if you uploaded G-rated piece, with only the line art here, and the colored version on Weasyl, would FA make a sound?

I didnt realize the picture was censored until now.

> ???
> Profit!!

Seriously, though, with how laggy FA's been as of late (for me, at least), I would not mind terribly if all of the artists I watch suddenly moved to Weasyl. The only real reason I'm still mostly here is because everyone else is. A terrible reason, I know, but this is a fairly social sort of website; it doesn't do much good if relatively few people are here.

To quote you from that image in question:
"I want people to use weasyl."
To be honest, you worded that horribly. You can't tell people what website they have to use :P
That wasn't what you meant I guess, but it reads that way.

Sure, FA kinda sucks. It's stuck in 2008 where websites looked boring and didn't work some times. But is it unsafe? From what I can tell it is just as unsafe as any other site. Any database can be hacked.

So again, having preferences is ok. Trying to force your preferences on others is not.

As for me, I am a little pissed about that wording as well :P I want to use FA. Period. Most people I got to know in this community have stayed here and they are why I stay anyway. I don't care where I look at art, I do care about the community though. And what other options are there? SoFurry, Inkbunny and Weasyl.
I've made bad experiences with the SoFurry community, Inkbunny is full of open pedos, baby-idiots and animal fuckers and on Weasyl you have the anti-FA hugbox going on.
And while Weasyl looks good I just don't see what that site offers me compared to FA. To me it is nothing but an FA clone in beta witha facelift. Or am I missing something?

"Or am I missing something?"

- Better staff. This could be like eight separate bullet points but just. yeah.
- A staff team that can actually handle issues (hey, remember that thing where the dude was spamming new accounts and FA shut down registration for over a month? Yeah Weasyl had that fixed in like an hour).
- Public staff Code of Conduct.
- Reliably-scheduled downtimes that don't last a week past what they were supposed to.
- Up-to-date updates on said downtimes.
- Better system for blocking users.
- An actual system for blocking tags!
- Tags for journals.
- Differences between friends and watchers.
- Settings on your submissions and journals that make them only for friends.
- Critique requests.
- Ability to hide your favorites.
- Automatic Livestream announcements and a list of who is streaming.
- Built-in commission status indicator.
- Collections.
- A separate section for characters.
- Folders! Holy mother of god, they have folders! With their own settings.
- Lines that connect nested comments so you know who was replying to who holy shit.
- The ability to edit settings for each person you follow (so you can see only art from Person A or no stream statuses from Person B).
- The ability to have your username changed.

I know there's more but this is all I could think of off the top of my head. Basically it takes everything everyone's been begging for on FA for years and gives it to us. And more.

Those are neat features! I'm not sure if I would use most of them but still, that is neat.

However, as for the staff... I am happy with the FA staff. I have made good experiences with them.

I don't use most of the features, either, but it's nice that they're there in case I do want to utilize them someday.

By better staff I simply mean that, in my experience (and the experience of a lot of people I know), the staff there has been better about dealing with issues, especially user-by-user issues. It took less than 12 hours to get my usernames changed there (which requires an email request), but I have a TT here that will turn 1 year old soon that has no activity at all. Which is, sadly, a very common problem with FA.

I'd use the filters and maybe th folders...

I've had similar issues with tickets. The staff is too small for such a bug community.
But again, it's not the site that is keeping me here. It's the community.

Yeah, but the layout sucks.
I hate how they organize the different types of notifications and require you to use a thumbnail.

Thumbnails are optional.

Okay, good I guess.
I'm still going to use FA primarily because almost everyone's still there.

I actually very much prefer the layout to FA's (except the recent addition of the favorites bar; good lord that's hideous). But that's merely aesthetics, and while I'm an incredibly aesthetic person, the number of awesome features really outweigh the slights in the layout, imo.

I'm not sure what you mean about the thumbnails? It gives you a bunch of options. You can upload your own, create one from the image you're posting, or have the site automatically generate one. Unless you mean you dislike thumbnails in general which, eh, I can understand. I personally prefer the cleaner look of them all being the same size and shape.

I suppose for someone who's a browser and not an uploader, aesthetic annoyances could be enough to warrant not using the site. But as someone who uploads work there, the functionality of the site is just far too nice for me to ignore.

I meant to say browser. I'm mostly a browser.

*swoons*

Following you on both sites now. I honestly don't understand how people could be so incredibly rude!

People are reacting as if you held a gun in their face and said "USE WEASYL OR YOU WONT GET YOR PORN" and I think it's ridiculous.

GOD FORBID AN ARTIST FEELS COMFORTABLE ON A NAVIGATABLE SITE WHERE TAGS CAN BE BLOCKED AND GALLERIES HAVE FOLDERS IMMEDIATELY AND VAST UPLOADING OPTIONS AS WELL AS A SMALL CARING GROUP OF PEOPLE RUNNING THE SITE.
GOD FORBID.

It's the being gently pressured into somethng I don't need that gets at me. Kind of like a salesperson - yes I know I could save money by switching my furry site to brand X, but I still don't want to. I've never unfollowed someone over it, just it kind of seems annoying.

Must be awesome to live in your world - it sounds free of advertising.

People are ridiculous. XD I honestly wish more people would post their censored shit here and the fulls on Weasyl. That site is just so much better in every way. All it needs is some traffic.

CATER TO MY EVERY WHIM ARTIST WHO POSTS PORN FOR FREE
STOP TRYING TO FORCE ME TO USE OTHER SITES HOW DAAAAAAARRE YOU
Holy CHRIST some people are stupid and mean. I DO want people to use Weasyl - it's a fantastic site that lets you block stuff and there's the option to crop your pics how you want, you can customize your page with a banner. It's really great! I've wanted to migrate fully over there for a while myself.

Stay the course and don't let the asshats commenting in this journal about....fucking COOERCION omg omg what...get you down. Do you really want insane people like that following you anyway? Holy shit, I wouldn't! I want followers that RESPECT me and my decisions as an artist. DAMN.

ilu

im soooo unwatching you over something really dumb like this!! hah :P

As I've found people there I'm watching there and unwatching on FA so I don't have dupe submissions to view. Soooo I'll probably be unwatching you on FA soon due to that. :3 Maybe some of your unwatches are due to that too. :O

I 'think' I have a Weasyl account. I just haven't gotten around to using it. I'd bet a dollar that sooner or later Weasyl will have it's own Android and iOS apps for mobile viewing. That'll never happen on FA, but maybe on Weasyl...

Btw, still following on FA, Floe. If I make my way around to Weasyl soon, I'll be following there too.

They can't do apps because they're porn sites.
They could do mobile versions of their sites though.

Thanks for the support <3

The people in here giving you shit have no excuse to do so; sick of people thinking it's totally fine to just lose your fucking mind and have a go at somebody over a perceived slight XP. Tosspots.

I think what you did is stupid lol why not just say u prefer weasyl instead of trying to force ppl to create an account there?
I do have an account there, it doesn't make what you did any less stupid

How are they forcing you, exactly?

hello, u want to see my art? go create an account on weasyl

Still don't see how that is forcing you to create an account. It isn't any different than stumbling upon an artist on another site (that you don't have an account on) that you enjoy, but isn't present anywhere else. The only difference is that this is just a preference for using one over the other.

No one is forcing you to do anything, stop being a drama queen.

"trying to force ppl"
"I do have an account there"
You know how to read, right ?

I was using a general "you".

"Hello, you want to get first-choice access to some of the pornography I'm producing? Follow me on my preferred platform".

It's like a bonus for people who pay more.

But it's not paying more. It's free. Also it's a few square inches of DICK.

I don't know, if you had just asked "please follow me on weasyl" I'd do it no problem :P

Floe has asked that in the past?
Clearly some of her watchers pay attention or care about her as an artist.

All the fuss over a "view uncensored here link"
An artist has a preference? Everyone feels attacked.

you are such a bae <3

I'm done with peoples internet fucking bullshit.
Stuff is happening to to many artists lately.

Fuck all these goobers. Seriously.
You don't need to insert your fucking opinions into everything because YOU FEEL ENTITLED TOO

I saw the censorship. Thought it was a little strange to see on FA, kinda something I'd expect on DA or SA since they actually have policies against porn, but FA has a button to switch off the porn, so long as you use the mature setting.

Doesn't bother me, just seems strange to see censorship on a site that doesn't really do that. Still a fan.

Thanks for the kindness. People are really goin' bananas.

I noticed. I would probably be raging at these people in your position.

I think it's not even about FA and Weasyl. It's much more political and ideological than that.
To the extreme Weasyl haters, Weasyl means "Social Justice Warriors" and all the baggage that comes with the title. They believe that by going on Weasyl they will be harassed for having some sort of privilege and accused of being a "rape apologist and therefore rapist by proxy" for something like being into BDSM or non-con, or not believing everything that some radical feminists on the internet say, especially relating to rape. They associate Weasyl with the SJW blog FurryScumbags that has said some pretty insane things.
It's an irrational association, since from my experiences, I have almost never run into any SJWs by accident on Weasyl, but these people still have that association in their minds.

You've just run into one now ;) I'm a loud and proud feminist. We're not all terrible. I have met one, maybe two people that fit the label people are so afraid of.

I know you're not terrible. You're pretty awesome.
I have almost never met any bad feminists IRL. Aside from some worker in an alternative bookstore who called me a shitlord for asking if they had Reason Magazine (was curious) and then bragged about how she wasn't attracted to me when I, as a gay man, wasn't attracted to her either.
On the internet, you do run into many more, just like you run into many more insanely blatantly misogynist people than you do IRL.
I think the reason many people don't want to call themselves feminists now is because they go online and see a few people who make cookies with menstrual blood in them, claim that all heterosexual intercourse is rape, or are transphobic toward transmen for being "gender traitors" or something. Seeing that, without a proper education in critical thinking, they then assume that's what feminism's about, believing that their small corner of the internet is an accurate representation of real life. Or they find sources of instances in which someone calling themselves a feminist did something stupid, not realizing that those sources are often right-wing and Tea Party favorites.

Ultimately, we've just gotta go outside in the REAL world more and meet REAL people.

Everything surrounding this whole situation is absolutely fucking glorious. Like, the shit that some people spout out.

Floe, don't worry, the fans that matter will stay by your side, we love ya. c: <3

I can't be assed to make an account on another site just to see an uncensored picture, but I'm sure not going to throw a fucking fit over it.

Goddamnit, furries.

Preach!!

Frankly at this point I'm starting to like the fact that these people aren't on Weasyl.

Always remember, nobody is owed your artwork and skill. It is not 'coercion', it is not 'tricking', it is not anything that implies a fan is too stupid to know whether or not they want to take the effort to sign up to another site. If they don't care enough, they don't sign up. If they care enough, they do. It's nothing to do with 'fair' or 'unfair', and thinking any other way about it is pure, unfiltered entitlement.

Stick to your guns! I did the same thing, but I was more aggressively pre-emptive in stating, "I don't care what you think about this decision", which seemed to help cut a bunch of the backlash out. Though I'm sure it would have been different if I had censored porn, because as you learned, people get really, really mad about that.

On a side note, I love Weasyl's character system.

Well, a lot of people don't like making accounts for every other art site just to keep up with a artist. It is really lame, to be quite honest. I say this not just about you, but about several other artists who have done the same thing.

floe presses a knife to throat. you feel them breathing down your neck. "do it", they whisper. a bead of sweat drips down your skin as they guide your hand to the "join weasyl" button. "i just want to go home! i hate thumbnails!!!!!", your exclaim, voice broken and face drenched in tears as you type in a password and wonder how you're going to pick up the pieces of your life, now DESTROYED because you joined a new website.
---

that is the same thing as censoring a dick. apparently. good job, FA.

dsfdkg <333

i want this framed, on my office desk

Well... you just made a new fan, right here, right now. :)

"Fans".

Hey this is COERCION. I'm going to keep using the word COERCION even though I have no idea what the word COERCION means because I just learnt the word COERCION a few minutes ago from webcomic and now I've gotta use COERCION to describe everything I come across because I want to sound like I know what the word COERCION means because I think that makes me sound like I know what I'm talking about even though I can barely hold my brain cells together long enough to form the word COERCION on the page.

heh

Read some of the comments and as I was reading, the words turned into a cacophony of infants crying in my head. And the people saying you're forcing them to do something just takes the cake. Every single cake.

I'M STILL A HUGE FAN and I'm glad you have a place you feel safer about posting things to <3

This reminds me about when tons of people moved here from DA and people pretty much freaked out the same way.

Fans aren't friends, fans are fickle and only love you as long you give them what they want. The second that changes they dump you. I'd say don't take it personally but it's hard not to.

See, this is six months late, but...

You said explicitly "I want to make people use Weasyl."

...What the hell were you expecting? People don't exactly appreciate people wanting to make them do -anything- whether that thing is good or bad.

In my case, I refuse to use Weasyl. I despise the site for my own reasons. Just like I despise Inkbunny for the twenty thousand images a day of cub rape. And just like I hate this site for being an unorganized, unreliable POS.

The difference being that I don't give a fuck what people do; I come here, look at pictures, then go on with my day. If an artist uses another site, good on them.

Just my 2 cents.
