I'm on it, but I prefer Weasyl. I find FN more frustrating. The interface has gotten better, but there are lots of things I still don't like. Having to enter tags one at a time instead of just pasting a bunch in? What is this, the Middle Ages?

Also, I have to log in again every time I open it in a new tag or jump in from a link in a site. That is the most annoying bit of all.

Aside from being Not-FA, I don't really understand what purpose FurryNetwork wants to serve. For one thing, it's described as a furry social network, but it has significantly fewer social features. There are no journals, no shouts, and really the entire user page is a mess outside of submission listings.

Perhaps more frustrating is that as an art site it's really lacking. Ignoring the slow response times for searching or viewing users/posts, its search features are just terrible. Entering tags is difficult, and there's no way to exclude tags in individual searches, let alone perform more intricate logical combinations. Both FA and Weasyl have better tag handling, which is a very low standard not to meet.

The one thing about FN that has consistently been getting on my nerves is the fact that even though I can block those that aren't signed in or have an account from viewing my page, I'm still getting anonymous favorites. How is it "social networking" when I can't even see the people that like what I'm posting. The visual UI and page arrangement is a hot mess also. It has potential but Weasyl is still superior for what I want out of an art gallery.

In regards to FurryNetwork, here's some concerning things that have come into my attention space.

I did some casual "research" into this earlier and from what I've dug up it appears that Varka has little to do with the site anymore and that the whole reptile bestiality thing isn't actually true for the most part.

They're still a bunch of weirdo dragonfuckers, but they aren't irl lizardfuckers.

Like the site is stupid as is, no need to make up reasons to call it such.

The people who run the site could fuck my dog and I wouldn't care as long as their site was good and they maintained it well. I'd still use it. Whatever. 

As for whether or not it's good, well... I'd need more time to actually learn it. It has that weird thing where parts look nice and others look horrid. Maybe I'll figure it out?

Are you sure?

Yes. Actually read the threads.

For example the first thread is everyone either saying "actually fucking a crocodile is a terrible idea" or calling it a troll thread.

They're still creepy fuckers in general, and aren't above fantasizing about croco-fucking. But they're not actually advocating it, which isn't much worse than other furry forums.

I have zero intention of going to the site myself. I'm not making any claims here. It's concerning stuff being passed around. I personally find that the whole thing smells too familiar to other issues surrounding furry sites and will steer clear until I see this come to a conclusion.

I keep hearing RUMORS about Herpy but I've never once seen a single post or picture or screencap showing proof of bestiality, as there almost always tends to be.

And when I ask for proof, I get rhetoric.

Until I get proof, I personally am not trusting the rumors.

Still waiting on proof of actual humans having penetrated a reptile. I can read thread titles but for all I know that could just be well-titled furry smut for half of that.

For once I'm with 6tails.

Having ventured into the site myself, it's mostly dead and the worst thing I found was someone fantasizing about being screwed by a dinosaur, and someone with a Shadow the Hedgehog avatar mentioning that "they're tolerant towards zoophiles" but don't advocate it for obvious reasons.

There are way worse places out there.

So much this. It's all too familiar. 

Plus their site looks like shit and doesn't know what it's trying to be.

Despite the shitty ethics, I'm still going to utilize FN and see how it is. Weasyl, atm, seems pretty dead. At least from what my previous experiences with it seems like. I'll probably still throw a line in the water to see what turns up. Don't know what the worse that can happen really, considering I've been utilizing a website run by Neer (I.e, rape is okay, bestiality is okay/is literally the underground railroad for convicted bestiality users). Ain't nothing pure in this fandom.

Just made a new account.

This is weeeeeeeiiiird. Not as straight-forward or similar to other art sites I've joined. I have to REALLY get used to this sites workings.

I'm still putting my bets on FN over Weasyl. I know Varka has his problem record via past and worker wise, but at least site wise, they're getting their shit done on that site. I've been watching it for a while, and they've implementing/testing and encouraging bug finders from within the community. Not to mention the staff has been fairly helpful, moreso than on Weasyl. There's a line in the sand that Weasyl still hasn't drawn yet, and its making me very reluctant to even use the site. I want to say somewhat botching community tagging was a little meh. Either or, I'll be your FN field tester and let you all know how it is.

"I dun wanna use FN, it's run by bestiality supporters!"

"Oh, hey, my BD just arrived!"

The person that made this point gets a billion internet points from me.

Bestiality isn't cool but animal dicks are. Duh. 

You could even argue that BD discourages bestiality by giving people a legal alternative that's much easier than the real deal. Can't prove it either way, though, so it's a moot point.

Anywho, I have no interest in crossing people's personal lives with their professional lives. They can be a horrible person and make a good product. I don't give a fuck. I don't see why I should?

You don't give a fuck, you GET a fuck with BD.

 

AH! AHAHAHA! AAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAA!

Although that's a true and proven point, I don't think it would be healthy for the furry community.

FA has been embarrassing enough. I don't want a repeat of that.

Right, I can get that. I tend to follow the rule that other furries do not represent me. However, it's obvious they may.

S'one of things I actually believe that I should care, but can't. Then when something goes down I'll say "This sucks" with a big ol' frown which could have been avoided had I just cared in the first place. Oddly though, I have a lot of trust in the people behind this new site. Varka may have had personal issues (which are not my business in any way and have not made them, so I wouldn't know very many details) but he's impressed me with what he's done with BD nonetheless.

....I'm not sure what it's supposed to be though. It's like it's trying to be both an art site and a social network like Facebook.

Ikr

I have a huge bone to pick with that

I agree with that pov to a large degree. However, in this case it's not quite as much "they might make us look bad" as it is "these aren't the kind of people I'd trust to run a site like this"

 

**********

In other news, I'm quite liking what I've been seeing of Weasyl so far. :) I'm really hoping they can gain some traction. They really need to refine their UI a bit more tho.

There's a petition to remove cub from FN.

This is freakin' Varka we're talking about. Fat chance.

This is enough reason for me to stay the fuck away.

Cub porn, AKA sugercoated pedophillia, should be treated the same as child pornography... because it is.

Same thing as the pedophillia rampant in drawn japanese porn, there is no place I have found to look for two beautiful adult women drawn in an eastern style that doesn't have sickening child porn.

 

Srsly though fuck pedophiles.

Not advocating for it, but I wouldn't say that drawing fictional cub porn is comparable to actually taking advantage of real children.

Art is victimless, and a much safer alternative for those who can't help what they're turned on by. Frankly I think trying to ban any kind of drawn subject matter is silly. Photos sure, that's actual criminal activity but digital art and whatnot doesn't actually hurt anyone.

You don't try to become a better person by feeding that fire with more and more.

Regardless of whether that's true or not in regards to cub porn (the argument can be made either way), it should be kept off a general-art site. 

It's a little beyond your average fetish.
