Oh FFS cut the drama. Everyone was discussing IDEAS. When people discuss ideas, the ideas tend to lead to, that's right, more ideas - which may just eventually lead to an overall solution to our issues.
And it doesn't matter who's been around the longest -_-
You might as well just argue who has more people on their AIM buddy list, because either way, it won't change a damn thing.

Thanks! I had never heard of it. Lots of stuff there, including from my gallery.

Okay, I think this arguments devolved into silliness. But silliness is also good, right? Right? D:

Sorry, but It's hard to take the word of someone who just joined the forums yesterday. I can't check your page, because FA is down (isn't that the whole reason for this?) so I have no idea who you are, or if you mean good or not.
And yes. I will check my facts before posting posts about posts.

Huh, that actually makes sense! But you'd have to find a bunch of talented artists who'd be willing to give up their time in order to do that. If you can, go ahead!

$20 sent. I'd give more, but I'm unemployed at the moment.

Exactly, see that'd be a really hard part. xD;;; I still have lots of work to finish up myself so I don't even know why I'm talking. ; n;

Unfortunately, yes. A hairline crack in a PC trace can be open and closed by the thermal expansion of 3 C across a foot wide board.

Hmm...
Maybe offer a print service like DA does? It'll get something in and it won't make a difference to anyone's account unless they want the service. I dunno, just a suggestion. ^^
It's cool though, no pressure from me. You guys get what you need goin' how you do. I don't know how this programming thingymajig stuff works XD.

RIGHT. I approve at least.
Overall the topic isn't THAT big a deal anyway.

Dragoneer also once said that the ads would never be flashing. He owns FA and can change his mind as he pleases. It would please me to provide a similar cash stream to FA in return for avoiding the ad clutter. Especially flashing ad clutter...
first, If you did that, i dont doubt that the whole of FA would love you forever
second, to Neer and the other admins, you guys rock, you guys put so much work into this site, keeping it free, and running smoothly, i really appreciate it. since i became a member of the FA community, ive learned alot about myself... its been good for me, so im sad to hear about the downtime, but ill deal, cuz if i know anything about you guys its that you are determined to keep FA a free online COMMUNITY because thats what its become, and your not gonna let a hardware failure bugger it up for us... hell if the government cared about its country the way you guys do this site........ (drops subject to avoid political debate)
And Finally, Make love not war, Make porn not drama... quit arguing everyone... its srsly not cool, and let the guys who keep our favorite web community running have some peace and quiet.

Ow, it hurts to think about the extra expenses THAT would entail as a result. x.o
Indeed! Arguing and digging up every little flaw is a bad kind of silly.

Honestly, I would be up for it but I don't know if other artists besides me would be willing to help. I have seen artists team up for charity auctions to raise money for their friends so a similar auction might work if the proceeds went to FA. Currently I am unemployed and just scraping by so I cannot donate at this time (or else I would)but I would be willing to donate a commission via auction for FA if enough artists joined up to help. Pardon potential spelling or grammatical errors, it's late here.
Edit: I don't consider myself an awesome artist. I am just an artist who would like to help FA if enough people could join for an auction.

Check to see if they're on DA or Furry Art Pile too. =) Just a thought.
First of all, thanks for doing all of the work needed to keep the site running. I'm sure it's maddening.
One thing I don't understand is why people are proposing software solutions to a hardware failure problem. If there are server load issues slowing down the site due to inefficient software then expanding the hardware to fix that is indeed merely working around a problem with the software, but if the hardware is actually failing that is not a software problem.
While heavy load may increase the likelihood of a hardware fault appearing, isn't it true that hardware is designed to work? If hardware is faulty and fails, that's not the software's fault. Inefficient software can't break a properly running machine; it can merely bog it down.
If overworked hardware had anything to do with this, I'd imagine it merely accelerated the deterioration of already faulty hardware. Properly functional hardware doesn't just break all because of a bit of inefficient code.
And besides, isn't Ferrox underway which will address many of the software issues anyway?

You know what I like best? All the fighting and bickering and everyone's opinions on how FA should be run, how poor the hardware/software/admins are, and how everyone thinks they can do it better. Donations aside, those opinions might count if anyone was paying for access, yet FA is quite open and free. It's really quite entertaining, like a primetime drama.
Good thing I'm not in charge, I just might shut the whole place down instead of serve to the people who dislike it so much.

Okay, as the PayPal idea bombed, how about eGold?
http://www.e-gold.com/
They don't mind about porn it seems. FA admins ought to contact them and see if FA could get percentages on each transaction if they'll make eGold the standard payment service on FA commissions.

i agree, its sad, the admins do a wonderful jb of running this "FREE SITE", i wish everyone would quit complaining.
on the other hand, its really nice to see people like you here, trying everything you can to help out

It's still a good idea. If you collect together the e-mail adresses then it shoudln't be a problem. *sigh* I just hope that FA isn't down too long, I need that site
I'd be happy to do rewards for donations
given the current circumstances. Just that seeing as Dragoneer and the other Admin have no time to come to this post anymore, or probably abandoned it due to the mass rows that were going on, then we need to get the idea to them in another way...- Status
