Gosh theres a lot of memories. I came here in 2014 as a young teen who just discovered the fandom through Star Fox. The community has changed a lot, and I feel a lot of the people I met here drastically changed me and my growth as a person. I met my girlfriend here, whom I soon may be living with. I made lots of friends here who i still regularly talk to and visit. I remember so many silly threads of page after page of silly arguments.
I'm going to be sad I won't be able to look back at Red Savage's posts anymore. I was talking to them one day, and the next they were passed away. https://forums.furaffinity.net/members/redsavage.7218/
It was nice, in a way, being able to go back and read some of those old posts.
It's not all sad though. Lotta good people I met here.
@SirRob Seeing your posts was always so funny. I think you have a very kind and sensitive heart, even if you can be a bit thirsty x3
@Imperial Impact I will never tire of your mecha posting. I feel like it shows me access to a world of media I have yet to touch that I really want to. You're also really funny sometimes, and I'm gonna miss seeing you around.
@Fallowfox and @Troj You both, while not people I'd call friends or even ppl I was close to...I always appreciated your posts. Your levelheadedness and the sheer thought you put behind your posts made them words of wisdom and chances to learn, and for that, I appreciate that.
@Whimsycal Your messages cheered me up when I was feeling down. Even though we rarely spoke, it left an impression on me and made me feel more comfortable in my own skin. Thank you.

That's a possibility, yeah. But it is a possibility on any platform.
Discord has the option to scan messages from everyone for NSFW stuff, and lets you disable direct messages from server-members. In other words, you join a server, and no one from it can send you a DM unless you've added them as friends.

I am weirdly sad over this.
Over the years I’ve talked to so many people and made so many friends that kept me from hurting myself, Discord sucks ass but I guess we’ll see how this goes…

Well..... this Forum has had it's moments for me, over the last ten years I've been a member on here.
Some times were good, some times were hard for me (due to conflicts I had with some other users) but - at the end of the day, I still enjoyed many of the things I did on here, and I still stuck around.
I'm not so sure if I'll "miss it", as they say...... but (who knows) over time, maybe I will.
Looking back on things, I'd probably say that my time (on here) was an overall good experience for me, in a lot of ways. And yeah, looking back on things also, (in all honesty) - I probably could've done some things differently, with some other users in how we interacted with one another.
But, I can't say I have too many regrets either..... and, hindsight is always "twenty twenty" as they say. And (in regards to my account on here) all things must come to an end eventually (as they say also). ☺
I don't use Discord currently myself..... (like a few other people have said)...... and so, what the next chapter will be for me personally, (within the confines of social media) remains to be seen.
Perhaps I'll join a few other websites; or..... simply keep my focus (in the future) on my artwork more and on my writings, and on my Fandom interests only (that's on the main page)...... and perhaps focus a bit less on social media (in the months and years to come)...... but who knows there yet either.

I loved this forum. It existed and cheered me up on days. It allowed me to interact with like minded people.
Discord unfortunately will replace this... But at the same time. It isn't the same.
Discord doesn't have a decent enough search function...
Sure they have forum based things... but soon enough Discord will be replaced by the next big thing... much like what happened with skype.

@quoting_mungo I wanted to add you because you were my favorite moderator. You often spoke kindly and in an understanding manner even when threads got a little hostile. I sometimes felt you were one of the few who understood where I was coming from on some posts. But honestly I just admire your kindness, thoughtfulness, and ability to be understanding. You were a boon to these forums.

Aww, thank you! The way that most people would listen when I had to say please to stop doing the thing, and continued to respect me that way even after I resigned, is a large reason I’ve continued to feel safe here while I struggle to feel comfortable in many furry communities since due to the trauma of that whole situation. Feedback like yours was probably the greatest reward of working for FA. I wanted to make a positive difference for the community, and like to think I managed that at least some of the time.

Wow, hard to believe the place is coming to an end. I've met so many awesome furs here and had so many crazy times, it's hard to know where to even begin. But the friendships I made here have been durable, and have meant so much to me. It's odd; I tried Twitter, but I can honestly say in my 3+ years trying to be slightly active there, I met next to nobody; most of my interactions were from furs I'd already known, from here.
Well, I gotta let this all sink in, but will post more soon. If anyone wants my Telegram or email, just shoot me a DM.

May the ancestors look after you.
I've been watching this forum ever since the other day, am very saddened by the heartbreak and outcry over the imminent demise of this place, and have decided to come pay my respects. I've been apart of the furry fandom since January 2013, and am very nostalgic for places just like this. A bygone era in the fandom, before all the chat apps and whatnot, when so many amazing furs I once knew hung out on forums and chat rooms. A time I sorely miss and wish would return, but sadly is unlikely. I've been to a number of places like this, but never actually had an account on Fur Affinity, neither the art section (not until a few months ago, anyway), nor the forums all these years. I'm not even sure why. That said, seeing the overwhelming amount of emotion between members reminds me of a family, and while I do not share the personal attachment to this place, I can fully empathize, as places just like this are my home, my genesis, as well. In this, however, something special will always live on, from the memories created, and the passion everyone shares.
It's fitting that such a sad time should happen around Christmas, for those who celebrate it. A time to band together and share happy memories, rejoice. This season, we should all be so thankful for the good times (and bad) that we've experienced in places like this, because it defines us to this day, and they can never take that away. I hope this holiday season, we can all find happiness and meaning in some way, and try our best to celebrate, not mourn. This place, and the era in general when forums used to reign supreme will always live on inside of us, and carry us through the strange times ahead. It still hurts, nonetheless, but I hope this inspires strength and makes the pain just a little less. Merry Christmas to you all, Happy Hanukkah, whatever it is you celebrate, if anything at all. It's supposed to be a happy and hopeful time. I'll see you all on the other side.

Hey, I haven't been on here in years and I don't know if many people would remember me, but I used to go by Heliophobic/Grycho/Sollux/I think Randolph?/probably some other stuff back in the early 10s. I used to use these forums a lot back when I was an angsty teen, and it sucks to see a site I used to use every day end like this. I've changed a lot since then, I feel like I used to be a huge dickhead lol.
- I'm a trans girl and am like 2 years into hrt
- I draw now. Kind of. At like a rate of like 1 finished drawing per year.
- I'm an insufferable sjw now

- Was I like viciously anti-MLP on here I forget, I love MLP now
- uh, i can't remember what else
Anyway byeeee~

I've been off and on since 2019 and haven't been very active in a long time. But, honestly, I'll miss this place. As a graymuzzle this was kind of the last active old-school forum I've been a part of, and I'll really miss the silly banter from you floofs.

RIP another internet legacy. I was not part of FA back in it's "heyday" but I lurked on here as a visitor and contemplated creating an account. Only in 2018 did I do that. I remember seeing some of my favorite artists come and go, but to see the forums go is quite sad. There's a number of memories that people have with the forums and the people on here.
I found a number of amazing artists earlier this year because of the forums. If it wasn't for this place, I wouldn't be in contact with those great people!

Insert Witticism Here
It seems like they never knew what to do with these forums but if they wanted to kill it then that was the perfect opportunity since the forums were in open revolt and they wouldn’t need to justify anything.

Well I'm glad I got the opportunity to interact with a forum to see what it's like, since I wasn't online in the early 2000s. There are some cool people here; I hope the discord idea works out

I officially considered myself a furry and joined the fandom when I registered on the forums just over 4 years ago. People I met here were really life changing. I found some of the most incredibly talented, creative, insightful, entertaining, and inspiring people from all over the world. I'm definitely going to miss the forums. I'd like to thank everyone who helped bring a silly duck to life (and help the silly guy standing behind him to not feel quite so old).

Truly the end of an era.
Memories:
I joined this thing way back in 2015 or 2016 as I found out about this site from Deviant Art source links from art I was viewing. I happened across this forum from viewing art on the main site.
I was officially a furry before Zootopia was released, but I think that just sealed it. 2014 is when I was browsing fan-art of various characters.
The time when FA went down I think earlier this year, I went on E9, Sofurry, Weasl and Furry Art Station but it wasn't the same.
On this site, I was introduced to some PopuFur YouTubers and pretty good art.
In Conclusion:
The main site introduced me more to the art-side of the fandom, and the forums introduced me to informative Youtube videos about the fandom which is something I won't forget. Thanks for having me and all of the members here. <3
EDIT: I may check out the Discord if and when it becomes available, but it won't feel the same and I probably won't be as active on it, but I may still check it out.
Good night sweet prince <3
