My continued presence here

Hello, boys and girls!

Well, I've done some thinking on the matter, and I find myself at a crossroads.

See, the thing is, I've gotten a FurAffinity account (le GASP!), and after having it for about 3 months (maybe longer), I've drawn some comparison points between it and dA:

Pros:
1. Uses same formatting as my posts in the Nova Bars – basically means that I don't have to switch between <> and [], which is an UNGODLY headache...
2. Doesn't cost anything for centering, or colored text – a HUGE part of my posts rely on this, as they otherwise would lack the punch that they deliver on the forums.
3. Fellows from dA (most) are also on FA – that in and of itself is a plus, as I don't need to worry about losing communication this way.
4. Higher tolerance level – dA is pretty damn strict as to what can be posted on here or not (and the upper echelons even ABUSE this sometimes, posting stuff normally ban-worthy); granted, FA has similar rules, but they're more lenient. It seems friendlier that way.
5. Nice, simple design – what can I say? I like plaintiveness. ^_^
6. Not as prone to some shat I've seen on dA – viruses, hacks, that sort of thing.

Cons:
1. Limited Smiley support – they're a little on the bland side, but it's not such a big deal.
2. Smaller on the whole – the FA community isn't as big as dA, I noticed (well, dA DID get a couple-years head start); as such, there aren't as many people there to watch your work.
3. Aversion by reputation – don't get me wrong, I actually am starting to PREFER the place to dA, but the general populace is instantly abhorred if the word “furry” comes up. There's a difference between what anthro is, what furry is (note – pretty much the same, just different names), and what is “yiff” (the actual pron associated w/furry), which most don't know about. It's rather sad, actually.

What I'm trying to say is that I'm going to stop posting on dA. I won't be taking down any of my work, but I won't be uploading anything new. I might lurk around here and there, but your best chances to reach me will be on FA.

If an event presents itself, I may update the journal here, but that's about it.

    wo wo wo people please calm down , i can actually feel all the anger , now im not sure what was said but listen and i am addressing all parties involved , whats said was said not one can take that back , but as differences of opinion go everyone is in titled to their opinions now that being said is it really worth it to say hurtful things about each other , now a t a time when we all need to pull together .

    Barrin84, Claudy are good people dont let a few bad words come between you please

    Ginpu is having a very hard time as of late i can relate in a very personal way .

    all of you are good friends if you let these things come between you then there will be massive regret; i respect all the parties involved and their opinions but as a fan of all of your work it pains me to see such animosity over perhaps a "small" bump in the road of life .

    when i think of how much all of you have accomplished both as individuals and as a community their must be some common ground ; dustin ive always been a huge fan of your work as well as the others i ask all of you is this misunderstanding worth the loss of friendship between all of you .

    1. I was not in the civil war, and therefore cannot claim to have memories of it.
    2. When I am told to put kiwi on my boots it does not involve furit.
    3. I am not allowed to tell children that landmines are filled with candy.
    godspeed to her...
