I'm going to skip the rant and the preach and go right for the throat.
If you use Fur Affinity as your primary art submittal site, actually pay attention to what goes on with the community there, and you still have your primary artwork there, then you deserve everything that happens to your images. The site is run by scum, they have inconsistent rules, and when financial backers come calling they start mass bannings until the people funding them are happy. I've written about their incompetence before, and I'm not rehashing that, but let me propose this one thing.
When the financiers of FA called up a few weeks ago, they were upset at all the cub porn (read child porn) on the site. To keep on the good graces of the powers that be, they started mass banning and deleting images from all the sonic artists that draw porn on their site. A community outcry went out against this change in the User Policy (or something), and then all of a sudden the site experiences a massive crash and corruption of the database, a failed raid controller card, and dead hard drives resulting in the site being inoperable for days.
I'm just saying.

-0 And no, Tumblr isn't the solution either. Face your fans, and enable comments, cowards.
-0 PS, when's the last time DA needed private backers because the child porn prevents normal modes of monetary transactions? Or remember how last week DA was offline for days because they ran everything off of one server? Or how we all got that message in our in-boxes this last spring that DA needed emergency funds or it would go offline? Me neither. You might gripe about how you can't take familiar cartoon characters and "age" them to adult to create porn on this site, but think about it this way. You might not have your Kim Possible orgy fest, but at least all of us get a site that stays online and functional the majority of the time.

However
If FA were to run out of money, I'd care none.
FA doesn't have Premium subscriptions or a Prints feature or even a shop so it can't milk money out of it's users like DA.
At least it has a legit reason to be run so shittily unlike DA with a networth of over a million dollars.
I shit you not.
And yet the report-ticket system is backed up for months and mods like R2 and DxD frolic in their hypocrisy as they wipe their asses with our Desk Tickets.
While I'm not a real huge fan or a real fan of FA, at least the Help Forum actually HELPS.
I also must say that I'm happy with how FA (as well as Inkbunny and SoFurry) actually back up artists whose works are stolen are ripped off.

No, I'm talking about when people straight-up make carbon copies or damn near it, of other peoples art. On DA you can make a carbon copy from scratch (meaning not having been traced) and DA just shrugs it off. DA will only do anything if it's actually traced but even then changing the eye color or the position of a limb is enough to save it from deletion.
It's safe to say that DA gives little to no shits about intellectual property but DA IS a corporation so its goal is to make money.
I'm glad DA at least doesn't allow straight-up porn. Yeah..so DA will allow woman touching their clits, clothed erections/stylized erections, cub art, mildly adjusted trace-overs, carbon copies and for R2 to carbon-copy a tiger photo and claim the entire thing was his idea start-to-finish...but at least we get a site that stays online/is functional.
Most of the time.
Better than most sites even if some of the staff members need to gtfo.
deviantART muro drawing
I have only failed to be able to access DA once, maybe twice in five years. Lets just say that I can't remember the instances too well. Whereas I can remember the last few times FA has herped the derp and failed to load for anywhere from a few hours to days (and that's just this year alone and its not even over yet). Hell I think I've even started blogging about the outages each time they occur now just to keep count.
So yeah, DA's got some problems, but you know what, guess who's online right now and who is having their normal quarterly site stability problems.
FA has more of a wheel-barrow.
