Of all possible furry sites, why does everyone congregate to this one?
Inertia and bandwagon-ing primarily.
seems natural
i never even heard of inkbunny and sofurry until like 2014, and i didn't even know dA allowed NSFW until a few months ago
meanwhile everyone and their mother talks about FA. Every time you hear of an artist being a fag, it's on FA. if you're a furry, you know of FA.
>>3327088
FA for artist-based browsing/social features
e621 for its superior tag searching ability and aggregation
inkbunny for cub stuff
sofurry for its superior writing tag system
/trash/ for rich intellectual discussion to go with the art
the needs are filled for now
>>3327199
>inkbunny for cub stuff
well clearly this is the best site then
>trash/ for rich intellectual discussion to go with the art
:'^)
>>3327246
This.
If I'm going to draw furry porn, I don't want to deal with some prude SJW administrator who gets triggered over drawings. Even if I didn't draw cub or other fetishes that some people don't like. Never even got a FA account. Went straight to Inkbunny, and I think even their content controls are too strict because they don't allow humans.
As an artist, I'd just like a place where I can post any drawing that I want, regardless of the subject matter, and I don't have to worry about censorship or deletion.
>>3327518
sadly its probably easier to host drawn animal children than drawn human children, especially by western artists who don't always use the "loli" artstyle
>>3327088
Because everyone else does, letting it reach critical mass. [Also, if I remember right FA was ideally placed to take over from SheezyArt after adult-art policy changes.]
[Inb4 shills for the site with the acronym FN and the horrendous javascript web design appear out of the woodwork.]
Being fair, for as laughable and shit as FA is coded if you just want a simple search engine, it just fucking works... most of the time. Why you can't search anything less than 3 characters, I have no fucking idea but it's inexcusable. Nonetheless, the complete failure to advance beyond 2007 tier web-design has advantages.
>>3327088
FA is an outdated, cancerous hugbox that has about a million flaws, ranging from not being able to see porn while logged out to everyone's passwords being leaked.
Tumblr is good if you want to "accidentally" trigger someone.
e621 is great, but I stay away from the autistic community as much as possible.
Inkbunny has a bad tagging system, otherwise it's okay.
Haven't tried out other ones.
>>3327518
>some prude SJW administrator
you do realize that idea didn't even exist when cub was banned from FA right
I mean I agree with your point but your buzzwords are getting a bit out of hand my anonymous friend
>>3327607
I agree with this from your average user's perspective
your average artist's perspective where they have to deal with the shittiest and most finnicky parts of the site? not so much
>>3328397
>e621 is great, but I stay away from the autistic community as much as possible.
e621 has way less niche art on it. it's incredibly overhyped imo, especially with the DNP list in place.
Anyone here also lurk on 8ch /furry/?
>>3328397
>Inkbunny has a bad tagging system
How so, anon?
>>3327088
But I congregate here...
artists do it
some because other artists do, some because of some sort of stupid guilt complex
ultimately FA needs to die, the site is pure cancer if you browse it in all posts mode where half of everything is refrigerator door art, scat porn, and other horrifying fetishes
fucking add a way to filter that shit or fuck off dragoneer
Because it's the most populated.
Site design sucks ass and it's lacking features, but people use it because population.
it's the best there is in the end.
IB is a honeypot, Weasyl is a scam, SoFurry is garbage, and whatever other site there is is overal too poor and small for someone trying to get notorious.
It's popular and every furry knows about it

>>3339516
Remove every one of 'em and FA would improve.
>>3350073
FA would hit peak quality with zero users.
I left FA and just went with Tumblr
I hated their rules on how EVERYTHING needed to be furry art
Sometimes I want to post videos or game screenshots so I found Tumblr easier for that
That being said I didn't delete my shit there because I'm not one of those fags that goes and deletes all their drawings over some bullshit
If I quit drawing for some reason I'll still leave my stuff there for anyone that wants it
>>3350174
Tumblr is a nightmare for viewers if you don't tag your stuff properly.
FA is an art site, using it as a social network is a kludge. Tumblr is more of a social network.
>>3350240
Well I do tag my stuff.
I do miss getting comments though.
But I like the freedom of posting what I want
I'm far to lazy to run more than one page though. I tried doing both Tumblr and FA at first but I got tired of doing everything twice
>>3350339
>I tried doing both Tumblr and FA at first but I got tired of doing everything twice
I'm in the process of putting all my art on 6 sites. It can be a real pain in the ass. I still want to spread my art to as many places as possible though, so I'm still going through with it.
>>3350387
What 6?
>>3350397
FA, tumblr, IB, weasyl, sofurry, fn. I was already doing both tumblr and FA at the start, so it's more like spreading it to four more.
>>3327518
>prude SJW administrator who gets triggered over drawings
M8, FA banned cub stuff over legal reasons and the fact their donation service (read: income to keep the site running) would drop them if they didn't. Good job spewing that ole baseless Gaymurrgayte rhetoric though. Gotta point out that es jay dubya boogeyman at every corner.
>>3350387
>6
Damn. No way could I handle that many.
Side thing, how do you guys feel about your stuff getting posted on sites by other people?
Not stealing as in to say it's theirs but just seeing your stuff uploaded by someone else
I personally actually love it. Makes me feel good when I see my stuff posted
>>3350466
I like it but barely any of my stuff is uploaded to e621 or phaheal.
>>3350529
I get my stuff posted here on different boards sometimes.
Feels crazy when I see something I drew years ago I forgot about randomly posted
(Also a drawing of mine was used for a meme so I got to see that a nice bit)
Bumping for interest
>>3350425
>fn
why
it's awful in every way
>>3327199
You can post cub on FA as long as your name is Zaush
>>3355496
Otters are small, dude.
>>3355523
You haven't seen his latest comic then. The one with the girl who's concept art originally said 5th grade and then retconned it and posted it anyway. Its not even hot, its Daddy and John Galt fuck a couple of preteens while simultaneously getting cucked. the amount of blocked comments is pretty hilarious
>>3355803
Nope, haven't seen it. Not even interested in his stuff anymore because of all the cuckolding.
I mean, that old comic with the wolf and the otter is good because it has setup, it's more about revenge and the guy deserved it. But now everything has it just because and it's obnoxious.
>>3355850
Its a pretty good example of why the site is such shit: all you have to do is be popular and people will line up to fellate you no matter what you shit out.
>>3327088
because everyone is already on it
>>3355803
They all have adult figures. Zuash pussied out of drawing underage characters.
>>3350443
>legal reasons
Doubt it. IB's just fine with it
>people would stop donating
Like I said, prudes and SJWs.
>>3356059
If he had just put it on IB nobody would give a fuck, but in trying to please everyone he pleased no one.
>>3356234
I don't think he did it to get around any kind of site rules. I think he just generally doesn't like to draw underage materail.
>>3356078
>>people would stop donating
>Like I said, prudes and SJWs.
not that guy but from my only looking at the part of your post he quoted and the conversation beyond then, it seems he is trying to say- at least on the topic of banning cub- that the mods may not necessairly be prudes and SJWs: he is trying to say (i think), they did it 1. to save their ass legally, and 2. to get bigger donations
so even if the saving their ass legally part is a lie, while they'd be assholes for lying about it, the bigger donation part still makes them not necessarily prudes and SJWs, and are instead bending over for the sake of the site's being sustained financially..
Because it's old and has managed to grow many big names who have a huge following.
You can bet your ass that if suddenly the top 20 artists fucked off to some other site, the traffic on FA would drop like a rock.
I'd really like to see that happen, if only to divide the userbase a little.
When the latest crash happened, we saw many artists getting totally fucked, because they didn't post their art on other sites and this killed their income from commissions.
I wish we'd get couple of more crashes like this to divide people a bit more.
Fandom is way too centered around this one site.
>>3327088
Of all the possible chans why does everyone congregate to this one?
>>3357431
because people congregate to this one
>>3353500
Because it exists. I don't see see a reason why not to.
I'm out of the loop. What is FN?
4chan is not a furry site you faggot, kill yourself
>>3358103
furrynetwork
>>3358255
4chan is THE furry site. Nobody hates furries more than furries.
And they always come back here no matter what.
>>3356893
Please, the guy clearly wants to draw little girls getting fucked
>>3358924
If he wanted to draw that, he'd probably draw that. He's more interested in big burly guys getting fucked.
>>3357271
Only a prude or a SJW would withhold their donations for an art site for having a too open content policy. If the admins aren't prudes or SJWs, they're bending over backwards for them.
>>3358924
I see what you did there.
>>3359088
>If the admins aren't prudes or SJWs, they're bending over backwards for them.
yes i know
sorry
i was trying to say exactly that
>>3356893
he doesn't want to be KNOWN as someone who draws underage material. He sure as fuck wants to draw it.
>>3359044
Just look at the younger cousin character in that new comic he made and try and say that it's not meant to be a fucking 12 year old.
She isn't some magical loli dragon that is totally 1000 years old guys.
She is 12 but the story says shes 20 something.
>>3359088
>Only a prude or a SJW would withhold their donations for an art site for having a too open content policy
He said donation service, not users. Think services like PayPal and how they specifically disallow transactions for adult material. If they didn't ban cub, they would get banned from whatever service they used to get donations.
Not like it matters anymore, though. What with the IMVU takeover and such.
>>3332079
Used to. Barely ever go there now that /trash/ exists
>>3363857
It's not meant to be a 12 year old. Shit, he can't even keep the size difference going. At the beginning of the comic she's a lot smaller than the daughter and a clearly different color. By the end of the comic she's almost indistinguishable from the daughter. At any rate she's got tits and full hip, so she's an adult character, regardless of what the comic's canon says.
bumping for interest
>>3327088
FA doesn't allow cub, so it has that going for it. No need to be total degenerates, y'know.
>>3358103
a new site
it's a web 3.0 javascript nightmare and banned cubs primarily as a PR move so people would do their advertising for them.
>>3368789
It makes Tumblr look good.
>>3368811
Can't put my mind around that.
You know which site I miss? ArtSpots.
>>3368849
I liked ArtSpots for the community, pretty much the only furry artists I ever encountered that took their craft seriously enough to do studies that weren't furry.
>>3368957
>pretty much the only furry artists I ever encountered that took their craft seriously enough to do studies that weren't furry.
not him but what does "studies" mean in this context?
You mean do non-furry work for dosh?
>>3368977
Studies are artworks done purely to learn, in most cases that means using reference and focusing on a specific skill you are lacking. Usually the ones you learn the most from are so terrible you hope no one else will ever see it...
To draw furry well you need to have a solid grasp on the fundamentals of art, which involves doing stuff like human figure drawing, still lifes, architecture and landscapes. Real life is the most abundant source of reference you can learn from and avoiding it just means you're resigning yourself to only minor refinements in technique, instead of large leaps of understanding in the fundamentals of the craft.
>>3368977
ArtSpots required a proof of artistic mastery for entry. Basically, you had to show the mods that you could draw before getting a definitive account. It was usually done by submitting studies in furry anatomy (bones, muscles, poses...).
>>3364777
Same here. Since /trash/ started I never went back
I like it better than just furry anyway because I am a huge degenerate and get multiple threads for my fetishes in one place
>>3332079
Not really anymore. This place is actually fun and people create content. /furry/ is slow and pretty much TMZ of the furry fandom. I don't care about shitting on popfurs all the time. I'd rather look at porn and see what new things people are drawing.
>>3369172
Were they more responsive than HentaiFoundry staff at least?
>>3359901
I don't see any evidence of that.
>>3370752
This. All they do is bitching and shitting on each other
8*chan as a whole is shit though, but there are some cool boards, like /kemono/. It's pretty comfy with a small but dedicated community
>>3370752
>I'd rather look at porn and see what new things people are drawing.
Why the hell are you using an imageboard then?
2chan style Imageboards make terrible porn repositories. Boorus are better in almost every way.
>>3373487
You can't have meaningful and fun conversation about your fetishes on boorus
And there are no drawfags on boorus
>>3373514
You've got me on drawfags. Most porn dump threads I find have very little discussion though. Usually that's centred in >Tfw no qt fox bf/sex toy discussion/i am depressed threads
>>3348966
Can someone explain this post to me?
>>3373722
LURK MORE, holy shit. How did you get in here?!
>>3373722
greentext is a medium based on quoting and as such inherently exists in past tense. All uses of greentext should be consumed as such. To use greentext in present tense is to use it incorrectly, but, apparently /jp/ has started asking people(for a few years now) "Who are you quoting?" in response to people using greentext in present tense, which has become an easy way to call-people out for misusing greentext, which otherwise no one would've been able to do because 4chan's meta is now such that in proposing argument you render yourself liable to receiving a on-word butthurt non-reply of "autism" and nothing else or similar, which has become perfectly-acceptable because this site has become home to normalfags and is now a worthless piece of shit you should only observe for its popularity like Reddit instead of actually seeking rational discourse on it.
"implying" is a meme word used to start paraphrasing someone's post content(s). As, ">implying you aren't gay".
>>3372940
Dude posted concept art for a 5th grader, saying "heads up I'm probably going to do something lewd of her, will probably host it on IB" and then backpedaled because he didn't want to be called a pedo.
>"Her age and appearance in said comic will be rectonned out of the 5th grade"
his words exactly. You can stop whiteknighting now, nobody cares.
