Fur Affinity/Furocity Joining Forces

[SpaceFoxy]

You state the sites will be independant yet you also state that rules may change/are unknown at the moment. Why would sharing staffers have to affect either sides rules? This sounds like a temporary thing to help both sides then go back to normal for both, but hey what do I know.

If you think for a moment this is clearly done so that the staff of both sites as they will be working on both of them have a unified code on how to react to certain issues without having to dig into the separate sites rules before knowing what to do. This will speed up the process of issues getting resolved.

Okay one more time... Debunking 101

1.) THE SITES ARE NOT MERGING! THE STAFF ARE!
2.) THERE IS NO NEED TO WORRY ABOUT USER ACCOUNTS CONFLICTING SINCE THE SITES ARE NOT MERGING!
3.) IF YOUR BANNED ON ONE YOU WILL NOT BE AUTOBANNED ON THE OTHER UNLESS YOU CAUSE TROUBLE THERE WARRANTING THE BAN!
4.) FA HAS NO INTENTION OF BANNING HUMAN ART
5.) FA HAS NO INTENTION OF BANNING HUMAN/ANTHRO ARTS
6.) CUB PORN IS STILL BANNED DUE TO LEGAL REASONS! DON'T LIKE IT, WRITE YOUR CONGRESSMEN! (lols)
7.) FUROCITY(dot)com IS A SMALLER FURRY ART COMMUNITY! W/GALLERY FOLDERS, WORKING COMMISSION PAGES, ACTUAL GROUPS (not user pages pretending to be groups), ETC!

This. ^ THANK YOU.

Now everyone untwist your panties and get back to uploading your arts. Not much is really changing.

I never heard about Furocity before but their site looks pretty clean it has a better layout than FA i think.


I am actually very interested in the recoding of the site, are you planning on using a framework and will you change/optimize the database layout (e.g. not store the mood as a string within the data of the userprofile)?

How long do you think it will take to recode FA ?

Will furocity get to use the hardware of FA and will there be anyway to join accounts over the sites ?

What do you mean joined? Like what is uploaded on an fA account will also be uploaded on Furocity at the same time? I can't say I know that for sure, but I do know that accounts on fA are completely separate from Furocity accounts, so no worries about account names on either site being in jeopardy.

What i had in mind was that for example i have an FA account and then i create an account on furocity and i am able to post stuff on both if i wish to, without having to go to both sites. Something like that.

I think that you'd have to upload the picture on each site separately, since fA and Furocity are still remaining as individual sites.

I'm honestly a bit concerned about how this will affect those of us who are primarily commission artists. I currently find most of my clients by advertising and communicating via FurAffinity, and I'm wondering how this will affect things like: My clients' ability to contact me, changes in advertising rates/rules, any rules concerning the selling/trading and purchasing of art through use of the site's resources, etc. FurAffinity has long been a haven for this kind of business, and whilst I am fairly new to it, others are not, and many artists make their living(in part or in whole) by taking commissions that are channeled through the site.
While I feel I could easily adapt my personal use of the site to any changes that come about due to this merge... My business applications and clients might be less easily adapted.
I don't know anything about Furocity, having never used it before, so perhaps this is not a concern at all. I just hope that as someone who has always appeared to understand the importance of FurAffinity in the lives of those of us who offer commissions, that you will consider this angle while working out the details of your site merger.

Thank you very much!

Um, what the hell are you talking about? What does this thread have to do with yours and your commissioner's business?

[Glaice]

Excess, stop worrying about it.

Once again....
it should have little if any effect since FA and Furocity are remaining separate - independent sites. FA and FC Databases are not merging! At this point in time there is only a merging of staff and Dragoneer has already stated that the only AUP changes hes wanting to do atm are revisions to photography uploads and such. (skim through page 3 for his posts for that)

[Dr. Durr]

Since people don't seem to get it:
FA and Furocity are only sharing moderation and administration.
The rules will be the same.
If you are banned from one, you will still have the other.
FA will keep human art.

Heyas -

Since we're chasing our own tails here, let's discuss things over at http://forums.furaffinity.net/thread...cussion-Thread , where the original post is an FAQ. Hopefully this solves some things.
