    Default FurAffinity vs DeviantART

    DISCLAIMER:
    i'm not english

    TL;DR
    they both suck and are good
    end of story


    Really now, no site is perfect and will never be. Simple as that.
    But I expect least some things of out site. GREEN for dA BLUE FOR FA

    That, is
    have a
    decent search feature
    Good forums.
    Good community.
    A way to get yourself known.

    Picture rights.

    See how it's kinda tied ?

    dA

    Search feature breaks so much. SORRY GO TRY AGAIN AAHHAHAHAHAHforum makes me want to cry. SO confusing and unorganized and small.
    Community.. must I go into detail. KAWAII DESU WULF WULF SANIC RAINBOWS GLITTER 12 YEAR OLD UNDERAGED UNARTISTIC NAKED PHOTOS GETTING FRONT PAGE DRAW ME !!!!!!!!!!!
    I'M SORRY WHERE'S PROOF IS RECOLOURED YOUR PICTURE IT'S ONLY EXACTLY THE SAME SORRY AHAHAHAHAHAH

    +edit page

    FA

    search feature is decent. I'd still love to see featured, popular within _ hours, etc. Yet I know that wont happen so and know why yet don't agree with it
    Community ? HI I'M 13-15 BUT I SAY I'M 18 SO I CAN LOOK AT PORN AND DRAW IT TO EARN MONEEEEY ! OMG WHY CAN'T I REPOST IMAGE I BOUGHT WAAAAH HI I'M FURRY
    Recently submitted section is just not big enough. pics come and go too fast and usually none of it is good art in my opinion. Not saying my art is sparkly cute desu.
    I have to go to controls to delete picture .. ? Can't disable favorites/comments so less original artist drama over how he/she's art didn't get that much as buyer.


    hope had nioce day. i need some wine now.

    There's lots of An-ni-may crap on Da. Most of them are traces.

    DA has more eye-searing shiny desu anatomically "WTF!!!" anime bullshit.
    FA has more animal dicks.
    Both are full of dramawhores.

    I don't really try to make an attempt to compare them.

    Pretty much

    Implying I haven't lurked for some time. I never really did want to make an account but hey.
    I'm pretty sure Community and the forums itself are different.
    I was aiming at the layout and how it's easy to navigate, big, and nice.

    I'm going to guess furries like FURAFFINITY more because it's for furry related things specifically.

    Just a guess though.

    Deviantart has moe/lolis, furaffinity has cub. They're the same thing, liked by the same people: creepy single men.
    It's called a book. It has these things called sentences, and you read them.

    Furaffinity is doomed to collapse in on itself with a lack of enough admins to actually effectively enforce rules.

    Wait, wait, wait... nobody actually argues between these two sites, right? This is honestly news to me, and sounds like you're pulling this out of nothing.

    And that is why I keep applying for mod even though I know I'll never get it in a million years, I'm a extreme to unhealthy levels workaholic even if not paid.


    But that is neither here nor there, but back on topic. I think the way FA is doomed is that the staff has such a phobia of adding on new admins that eventually what happened to ponibooru will happen to FA.
    Hold off with your comments folks, I do in fact have a have a reason why I'm bringing ponies into this and it is relevent so hold on a bit.
    You see the very short version of why ponibooru is dead is that they were in the same barrel that FA currently is in. They didn't have enough admins either. In fact FA has far less admins per user than ponibooru had. Think about it a site with more registered users having less admins than a site with less traffic. Now you are seeing where things are getting sour. All it would take for a group to permanently and for real this time take down FA would be for them to wait until a group of admins quit or are fired, like furrygate, and spring into action. Then it would be fucking hell on earth for the staff.


    Short version: Fa has a huge ticking timebomb that they're sitting on and just ignoring it.

    We were saying this back in 2008. Good thing I didn't hold my breath, I'm not certain what color I'd be by now. Probably still not safe to start.

    How is it that FA has survived this long anyhow?

    Why shut down a lolcow? Don't people want to keep milking the site of drama? It's like the goose with the golden egg. :V

    Your probably right about the dumb luck. Just watch, it'll definitely happen if any news of ferrox being closer to completion surfaces.

    I prefer FA.

    DA's mods and admins will often delete artistic nudes of males, yet keep crappy webcam shots of tits and vjay. And especially is the pictures are gay.
    DA has a traced base folder, even though tracing is against the rules.
    Search feature breaks ALL THE TIME.
    Full of pop ut viruses.
    Full of spam on the forums.
    Full of shitty posts and threads on the forum.
    Shitty trolls on the forums thet posts overused memes and think they are so xXhardXcoreXx

    They're both dreadful. dA just happens to be even more-so. FAF, however, is far superior to the sorry-ass excuse for the forums on dA. I've never seen a message board designed like that and there's probably a good reason why I haven't.

    At least on FA you don't get the 11 year olds with galleries with nothing but pictures of themselves...

    That is what annoys me the most on DA. Otherwise both sites have their fair share of pros and cons. FA is just a lot easier for me to get people to see my artwork. Plus the forums aren't a hassle and DA's forums I get lost in.

    Somehow, comparing Da to Fa feels like comparing microsoft to apple. Both may be popular, but suck in their own ways, as they never seem to fix their real problems. DA feels slow and bloated as well as those damn recolours/bases/traces/mere copies, meanwhile FA lacks a lot of useful features you find on other art sites, as well as lacking staff.

    The two main subjects that distinguish DA from FA are their administrative competence level and financial security.

    Sadly the latter is true. DA hasn't had many serious exploits considering due to the DA etiquette policy.
