Comments on: FA Users: Quit Whining http://www.lupinia.net/journal/quit-whining.htm The personal journal of Lupinia's webmaster, usually updated three times a week Wed, 08 Sep 2010 07:29:39 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7.1 hourly 1 By: sandy_hedges http://www.lupinia.net/journal/quit-whining.htm/comment-page-1#comment-3746 sandy_hedges Mon, 14 Jul 2008 23:49:10 +0000 http://www.lupinia.net/journal/fa-users-quit-whining.htm#comment-3746 eh, at one point I used to post my art on my own web page, I always found it a pain in the butt to run because I'd rather concentrate on creating art then dealing with HTML. Word, Photoshop, and those sites do indeed make web pages though I've found it to be rather sloppy because I always have to go back and edit all the HTML so it'll work on a normal site VCL is very restrictive and hard to get an account on, FAP is okay though I'm really getting tired of the mix of arrogance and jealousy against FA constantly being touted. DA is too restrictive of what art can be posted too so it's not worth bothering unless I want to only post clean stuff. \ Photobucket and Imageshack, I've tried them out but found it annoying that to view images on it, they sometimes require people to get an account. Which doesn't make it very easy to have others view my stuff. I still have that account on your server though I haven't used it, I'll definitely have to take care of that at some point. Wish I didn't keep getting distracted. eh, at one point I used to post my art on my own web page, I always found it a pain in the butt to run because I’d rather concentrate on creating art then dealing with HTML.

I still have that account on your server though I haven’t used it, I’ll definitely have to take care of that at some point. Wish I didn’t keep getting distracted.

Besides FA, I also have one on DeviantArt. Say what you will about DA, but it never goes down the way FA does. And their print services are cool.

But btw, is there a pattern with Yerf going down year by year and now FA, hrm. Talk about poor management. Maybe you should start charging artists for hosting, eh Felix? *nudge nudge roll roll* Thank you Felix you ARE the pwner.

Or maybe they're the kind of people who don't want people ever seeing stuff they drew without getting a pageview increase out of it. Sites like FurAffinity do weird things to some people.

I can't draw and suck at anything artistic unless I'm painting the inside of a building or something, but even still, if they don't like it being down so long, I agree with them finding some other place or even creating their own site. Technically creating their own website to host their works is another form of art in a way. Right off the bat, there's VCL, Deviant Art (DA), and a few others I got bookmarked that you can upload stuff to, and they have a very high uptime.

I've not yet investigated Furry Art Pile but I've noticed a few folks using it where they might have used FA previously. The lesson, of course, is not to treat any particular site as your One True Source... Aye, I wouldn’t miss the stuff that gets on FA but won’t stay on most other places.

Actually, I found that I had other fun things to do, which was unfortunate for the two or three people who were following my work. But such is life.

DA is a bit restrictive, they only allow "artistic nudity" (which is about all I care about, personally, porn isn't my thing). I'm not sure about Artspots/Jaxpad's policies, but there's a similar site called Furry Art Pile that I'm pretty sure allows it. Yes, VCL exists, and yes, they allow porn.
