Why can't you make a Fur Affinity account?

[ChronoTheFurry]

Hey Chrono the newbie here!

I was wondering why you can't make an account on Fur affinity at the moment.

I went to try it a few minutes ago and it said it's been temporarily closed , has it been like this for a while or is it because of the hardware update or something? :/

Many thanks,
Chrono the newbie
>_<

If I was going to hazard a guess, it’s probably due to a recent problem of bots posting explicit material in General. If the bots can’t create more accounts, that buys staff time to find a longer-term solution without having to play whack-a-mole.

I made an account because I needed to contact an artist for a commission.

Hi Chrono! I'm new here too and I have the same question ):
I wanted to make an account to follow some artists, favorite some illustrations and share my own art but now I feel stuck.

When are we going to be able to make an account?

For the little research that I made, I think this has taken a few months. I don't want to wait months/years I want to be wrong
Has this been a recurrent problem here? I saw some threads about this searching a little in google.

We disabled new account registration about 36 hours ago. We're working on getting account registration back up as soon as possible.

sweet!
I'm glad that I was wrong (It's just that when I searched for a reason, I only saw old threads and I thought that it's been a long time).
Thanks for your reply!

I also wanted to create a new account because my username is too long. I have already removed all my works of art and favorites and have been trying for 4 days - nothing at 36 hours
