Topic: (2019Jul18) FA is down. Again. (do you have other accounts?)

Posted under Off Topic

So I'll just ask on which art sites do you use often, and which sites did you use often in the past.

I'm going to exclude social media sites such as Twitter, by which we're going to focus primarily on gallery sites.

During FA's DDoS attacks and y-gallery's shutdown both in 2016, I moved to Tumblr. But after Tumblr's porn ban, I moved to Newgrounds. (I moved back to FA months before the ban)

Also, do anyone still use Furry Network as a primary account? Asking as I don't want to necro this thread.

1. I'd heard the stories and seen the memes regarding FA going offline before, but this is the first time I've every seen it happen with my own eyes!

2. I myself rarely use Furry Network or any other furry site other than e621.

From now I move to InkBunny and HicceArs.
Before I used Pixiv as my main playground, but Pixiv banned me unfairly and repeatedly.

No, I usually used FN as my backup, secondary account.
But my account has been disabled automatically by admin.
I will abandon FA, FN, Weasyl, SoFurry, and other similar site which hate cub porn as well.

in addition,
Tumblr real sucker. NewGround even worse...
Leave them as soon as possible. I think they don't really like pornography.

also, if you liked the way tumblr was you might like newtumbl as a social platform.

Furaffinity and Deviantart are my primary accounts, my secondary is Inkbunny.

I also have accounts on Transfur, Weasyl, Sofurry, FurryNetwork, and Tumblr, but they're rarely used aside from checking up on artists I watch.

Apparently FA's database software got some "obscure bug" according to a post on their forums (http://forums.furaffinity.net) so now they're reinstalling the entire database software and restoring an entire backup.

here is some sites that e6 has on record. One of the best gallery sites I can think of is newgrounds believe it or not.

Best for Gallery and Gaming Platform.
It doesn't mean best for all category.

Most Tumbr user recommend NewGround as best alternatives. So, I try it.
Guess what? They have report me as spammy post after posting cub porn.

I don't know why, but NG most likely won't accept cub porn.

The coding of the site is at this point so convoluted, patched and re-written that it would be much better to simply tear it all down and start again from scratch -.-

Perhaps so. They've been using the same old format since 2005.

On other news, FA is back up again!

Also, does anyone use SoFurry as their main account?

That has been multiple times, but FA is just a gift that keeps on giving.

I use FA and IB for browsing stories and sometimes to check my fav artists. I also have a DA which I made exlusively to message a single artist. For art it's all e6 for me. I mean, how tf do you even search a site that tags labrador and not dog?! Bet I'm missing tons of stories just because artists don't give a fuck about tagging. :/

Me before, but it's no longer used since it has same shitty rule as FA.

I'm not going to guess on why.

It's not a shitty rule, they have a good reason for it and unfortunately this was after PayPal got upset with them and caused trouble for site donations. Now obviously things are a lot different now but the rule stands and I'm not sure if the current owner would like it either.

According to FA rules: (it's still written clearly and highlighted on the sites)

2.7 Content Involving Minors
Content featuring minors is prohibited when the minor is in the presence of sexual activity or nudity, though exceptions may be made for non-sexual depictions of birth and breastfeeding. Presence is defined as being in the same scene, such as sharing a comic panel, contiguous image, reference sheet, or specific section of a story where characters are engaging each other. Minors may not have detailed bulges or outlines of normal or hyper genitalia, clothed or otherwise. Minors are real or fictional humanoids with a childlike body or younger than 18 years old, and any adolescent animals.

In other words...
Submissions involving sexual situations cannot contain characters under 18 or adolescent animals. Minors cannot be around nudity or unless itοΏ½s a non-sexual depiction of birth or breastfeeding. Minors cannot have or be around detailed outlines of genitalia or hyper genitalia.p

Put in simply words, cub porn is not allowed. Same rules will apply to SF, Weasyl, and FN. They does hate it of course. If not then this rules will be hidden or removed. Eventually my account will not be restricted or suspended (if those rules are not exist).

I mean, that doesn't change my opinion on it?

My main gallery site is FA, I just prefer it because community there is more friendly and less creepy compared to other furry sites (imo and by own experience xp).

Usually sites that allows cub content like IB attracts lots of creeps (imo and by own exprience), and is kinda uncomfortable to be in, even if its the second site with more followers I have (ignoring twitter of course).

I would like this site to be my second main in a future :3

Honestly, if InkBunny allowed human lewds, it'd be the best site.

NewTumbl lists bestiality and child pornography as against the rules, no idea if that includes obviously cartoony stuff.

There is an ask on their tumblr blog that answers that question I believe. Not sure what their definition of 'realistic portrait' is, however. At least in terms of art. Whether it be detailed 3d, drawn too real, or just depicts a real one rather than a fantasy one (but looks obviously not real and/or cartoony).
