Server found!

[Alkora]

I have got a new server for us to be hosted on...I am gonna be transfering the site over hopefully soon.

[Velocigon]

YAY! Thank you Jheryn!

Here's for crossing fingers for it.

[Donamer]

Well, hopefully it'll turn out for the best. I'm sick of the furry drama. I know I'm not the best artist in the world...but everyone wants a place where they can freely chat and have fun, right?

Extremely important point there, horsie, 'though there's nothing wrong with mentioning Arcturus or anyone else by name! ;)

It already reads as though some people think FA is effectively dead and AF is the "successor" (e.g. http://www.livejournal.com/users/chrissawyer/231014.html ).

You need to get a hold of me. I've caught rumors of what you're running as an OS on the server. If it's true. I have *quite* a bit I can lend along with someone else.

the past admin that left is been spreding rumors about say server the we got for Oringal Fa is bad

[Daddyfox]

Perhaps this has already been mentioned, but skimming through the threads I may've missed it. Aaanyways, when FA is back up, are we going to have t'start from scratch with our galleries? Or will the site in its entirety be transfered over?

Don't worry. Backups are available of FA so you won't have to start over or lose your hard work. :)

Yes! Thanks so much Jheryn! I just hope that something like this never comes up again :D

Not to alarm anyone but ummm... just in case Jheryn, you might want to check the server you're putting the site on just to be safe. Just a thought in case there is merit to the rumor? **curls tail around paws** A sort of "cover your own tail" sort of thing...

There's nothing to worry about...I'm building a new server...which btw...we already have over $1,000 for...

[MistressLeathurkatt]

And crapie Arc has copy of everone arts... he copyed without asking owner

He DID NOT copy the site or steal anything. It was Arcturus' server the site was on to begin with, so he didn't copy anything, it's already there. There are artists who WANT to have their stuff ported over to his site so he's keeping the old site intact so the artists who want to can be easilly ported to the new site. He has the ability to do so and made the offer. Those who don't want to be ported over won't be and when all is said and done, the remainder will be deleted. Arcturus isn't stealing anything since the artwork on the accounts is all that's getting ported over and said art belongs to the artists who drew them and those artists are giving permission to have their art displayed on his site... THERE IS NO STEALING HAPPENING! Get off it and get over it... Sheesh...

[Stallion]

Call it what you like, it's not his, he accessed it, he's using it...Sounds like theft to me..

Flame away...:)

[Suule]

Call it what you like, it's not his, he accessed it, he's using it...Sounds like theft to me..

Yep. Theft. Even in the eyes of law. (My LJ entry in the FA community clearly stated which laws were violated.)

[Pico]

Call it what you like, it's not his, he accessed it, he's using it...Sounds like theft to me..

So you're saying he should have deleted it immediately after leaving the FA staff before Jheryn had a chance to get a backup because, well, you know, it was illegal for him to have it right then and there. According to your logic, anyway :*)

Arc stated he'll be porting the FA Database from the backup HE made... He should get rid of the backups he made after he quit FA.

Blah... Whatever...

This who thing has turned into a "Holier than thou" AF bashing service on FA set to attack Arcturus and his admins for no better reason than for something to do...

Please respond accordingly then.

As I said you're not deleting Suule's post and the response is so that he cannot go back and delete his previous statement.

You deleting it does not stop this. This is keeping documentation so that people can't twist their words later.

[TehSean]

How is Arshes' comment, link, etc, information slanderous?

Slander implies that someone is lying about something. It implies that there's some kind of untruth being spoken.

So. What slander?

Edit: As far as I can tell, there's no slander in sight from Arshes and it's not because you've, Killy, been deleting it.

Also. Your and you're are very different words with very different meanings.

Additional on the matter. You can blackmail me. Your not scaring me by that. Make your screenshots, cross post them to your hears content. I gave you my reason. That be it.

I'm not going to twist my words. I find it all fine your trying to make your point. I do not get angry quickly so i understand your view. It is true that there has been going on a lot of Anti AF as well as FA going arround on the forums. However, your post had a link already know to everyone and can be found on AF's forum where this link belongs. I fail to see what point your trying to make.

Killy, also I can post this on your Deviantart Shout box where it CAN'T be erased and I wouldn't violate their TOS Either way the truth is the truth."

So if i do not what you say i have to watch out for you going out with "the truth". Thats a form of blackmail. Small yes but still thats what it falls in.

And it's getting aggravating. ^^

Not to mention one can Edit out the url if they're crying about ONE url.

I'm merely posting the original thread in question.

No offense, Killy, but why are you deleting posts with truthful information that corrects misinformed individuals? If people can post about why they think AF is so evil and breaking the law, why can't others come in and calmly correct them?

If you're going to delete posts about AF, at least be consistent and delete /all/ posts about it.

Okay, so why are you deleting it?

[PornoDianno]

Deleting a post with only one url looks bad.

And trying to make it look like I'm saying something else entirely makes you look bad.

You said the issue was with the url. Not the content of my post, and now you're backtracking and saying something else.

[Killy the Fox]

It seems i have stirred up the community, and that at close to 2am my time. Very well then, i'll quite the deleting. However, i do ask, and i do insist on this even that there is not en entire LJ page copy needed (meaning text copying the entire LJ page).

Forgive my laziness for not editing the comments, deleting seemed easier. Guess that initial warning didn't go trough ether. Alas.

I'll then leave it at that and will edit posts from now on if that pleases everyone here.

[PornoDianno]

((edited by Killy))

Now don't go act childish. You made your point, you won. Please don't give me a new reason to warm you. As i said, we do not need long posts from LJ where you didn't edit out the big un-needed blanks. At least have the courtesy yourself to do so.

Was about a dozen lines clipped from a LJ page, no? There might've been a bit much blank space which could've been edited out but that was about all, IIRC.
Now we've got two pages of comments posts, instead... :?

I'm sorry to say that i banned him again, this time on a bigger scale. My reason now was that even after my apology and trying to keep it reasonable he kept on reposting that big message with the part you quoted. As he refused to stop after my request to do so. He got banned again for this reason.

I can make mistakes yes, but one has to learn to understand that there is a limit of making your point.

Everyone wanting to know what this is about, please look on my DA page (link provided in my signature) and look for the long post made by Arshesnei. I have no intension to hide up what i did. Just let it end here. If anyone wants to flame me for it or whatever, use the PM button or the many chat programs i have to speak your mind instead of clogging this topic up even more.

Sorry for what happened here to everyone.

[Stallion]

You don't need to say your sorry, that's for the anti FA flamers who only post here to start trouble to do...

I can't believe the amount of venom and hate this whole mess has brought about.....You hate FA and all it stood for, fine, move on... You have your own place now.. Would it be too much to ask that you leave us alone?

I am getting very sick of all this BS ! I just want my favorite site back up so I can go back to enjoying new art and commenting to my buds without a flame war every minute.. Is that too much to ask? There are a few more feelings I would like to convey, but that would just start more shit... So, I'll just let that go.......

Here, here.

Also, I think the anti-AF sentiment has to stop as well. Let it be. Let's focus on FA and let AF go about their own thing.

Keobear, your comment about Arc being an art thief probably wasn't the wisest thing to post. Maybe it would have been better to say "I still don't agree with Arc porting over all the FA artwork."

Also, some posters need to stop "baiting" others for drama. Some posters are going to respond defensively and others are going to post aggressively.

I'm not trying to block anybody's freedom of speech, but for the sake of both FA and AF, please try and be respectful to each other.

While I'll admit I don't agree with Arc porting over art, I do agree with you. The anti-AF/??? posts need to stop.

This forum exists for improving FA, not kicking our competition while it's still on the ground. Competition is good, vital and healthy. But the endless arguging over coke -vs- pepsi does not help the situation for either site.

Agreed. Makes it kinda difficult to "critique" "anti-FA" posts on the AF/?? board...

Wrong person, Killy. You've actually banned ArshesNei, not PornoDiano.

IIRC, Arshes (she, not he) posted that extract simply to clarify that someone had said they were unhappy about the account porting to AF/?? when they'd previously stated otherwise in that LJ.

How that manages to result in two pages of fire-fight and one (or possibly two?) banned users is beyond me.

This forum exists for improving FA, not kicking our competition while it's still on the ground. Competition is good, vital and healthy. But the endless arguging over coke -vs- pepsi does not help the situation for either site.

No, it wasn't sidestepping. I simply didn't have an answer to the question, and until Killy can log on and respond, it's not my place to speak for him. It will be looked into, and if it was an accident it will be rectified.

However, I was simply following up on my FA -vs- AF/Coke -vs- Pepsi metaphor. Basically, everybody has their own specific choice, and sometimes that choice is completely different than what anybody expects.

Meh... kthx, Killy. Wish you'd mentioned that at the time.
All I saw was a mess of posts, edited/deleted, and apparently replied incorrectly.

Even if there was another individual at the same IP, that ain't quite the same as just having that correct-in-context LJ post which was it all seemed to be about.
I'll certainly query if it's mentioned on the public AF/?? forums as being a deliberate ban only because of that.
