Title: What happened to the Fur Affinity Forums?
Post by: Sultz Z. Wolf on September 21, 2015, 04:05:23 PM
I'm trying to get a badge commission from an artist, so I tried to get on Fur Affinity Forums and when I clicked on the link I get the message "This webpage is not available".  So that is why I joined this message board because FAF is down for some reason.  This is driving me crazy due that I am trying to get a badge done for MFF.  So does anybody know why FAF is down?  Also refer to my thread on the request forum of the artistic stuff section of the Creative Arts And Media if you would like to do my badge commission, thank you.

I was curious about this too and did some digging. It looks like some badness went down.

I started questioning the friendliness (read: lack of a total drama-fest) of the FA Forums right as they locked down registration, which prompted me to sign up here. And you know what? I'm okay with that. The banhammer isn't being swung around aimlessly in the Furry Forums; it can be quiet around here (save for the RP forums), but for the most part the community is very, very open to new visitors.

As for coordinating with artists, I would try to send Notes on FA (or the tried-n'-true email) to keep in contact with others.

Not like the forum was any good, the last time i was there it was just filled with really hostile jerks that drone on how furries are scum.

I tried it a few months ago and I feel I was getting solid relations, however the day I joined, there was a big deal over some mods and some censorship issue.
Eventually people were getting banned and then mods got banned for standing up for those getting banned and then mods started leaving and then the last mod just said **censor** it.


I heard some moved to SoFurry, would be nice to get some more new guys here too.

they wanted all the mods to sign a nda and send in their id or face removal they all said no so its all gone down hill from there and now they claim that they didnt try anything like that

its all stated here https://www.flayrah.com/6194/fur-affinity-forum-staff-abandon-their-posts-future-forum-uncertain (https://www.flayrah.com/6194/fur-affinity-forum-staff-abandon-their-posts-future-forum-uncertain) (linked in post 2)
