* * * * * * * * LONG version below:

Wandered across artist ill_dingo, but noticed associated FA link (https://www.furaffinity.net/user/illdingo ) was
"System Error" / "This user cannot be found."

Art in illdingo FA account seems to have been deleted (the illdingo URLs I checked anyway).

Checked Wayback Machine and latest archive of illdingo FA userpage was in 2015 April 10 ,
but doesn't say where else the artist is (except an email address).

After that (2015 April) the majority of the archive of that FA URL are "ill_Dingo has elected to make their content available to registered users only."
(except a 2022 archive which is also "System Error" / "This user cannot be found.")

Latest valid archive of main FA gallery webpage is made in 2015 April

e621 artist page about ill_dingo ( https://e621.net/artists/8849 ) says they moved to https://www.furaffinity.net/user/illbarks

illbarks FA "Registered: Apr 15, 2021".

Checking FA/illdingo art to compare with FA/illbarks art (ie. to confirm they moved to FA/illbarks):

(focus mainly on art from 2020-early2021 because most likely to have overlap between old FA and new FA)

*
Art in https://www.furaffinity.net/gallery/illbarks/ :
(All the art i looked at in their new FA has "@illBARKS" written on them)

Did FA search for illdingo and twitter (see 39811325 text above):

T1) earliest illdingo twitter post i found at FA:

"Warmup sketch by illdingo
(uploaded by) droppcat,
>>> Like + RT the original here! <<<
Original by illdingo
..."

(ie. link to illBarks twitter,
but FA link to illdingo)

(don't see at e621)

T2) latest illdingo twitter post i found at FA:
"posted Aug 11, 2021" https://www.furaffinity.net/view/43201322/ (RATED ADULT)
description "Link to the original submission:
https://twitter.com/illBarks/status/1382816697300578304
...

(ie. link to illBarks twitter,
but FA link to illdingo)

* * *
Checking that illBarks twitter:
April 2021 wayback said artist's FA was furaffinity.net/user/illdingo/ .

Currently https://twitter.com/illBarks says artist's FA is furaffinity.net/user/illbarks/

(FA link update at twitter seems to have happened between April 2021 and Oct 2021 )
