Is FA getting the F U ?

DailyFurBlog - Thu 28 Feb 2013 - 19:41

It is enough to post to my channel here that I must say in the past few weeks FurAffinity is hurting it’s users. I just came across a quick Reddit feed which posted a pic of what FA was suppose to look like after a $16k drive to boost up it’s site. Well we can see the changes have never happened. Let me break this into my terms as a web designer and a business owner.

Pros: The site is well maintained and allows many things go on to it. They have a nice message system and a nice profile protection system.

Cons: The site has some bad layout and bad colors. Users are booted by admins. to quickly and others post pointless things we don’t need to see.

Overall the site needs some well defined maintenance. I understand it is free and those who run it do it in charity. I understand running something this big for free comes at costs, but wait …. wait …. IT’S THE BIGGEST FURRY SITE IN THE WORLD! So why does someone like the now upcoming Weasyl. com trump FA? Well they fixed all the issues, they gave a site better look and seperated things users want. It is one thing that has always bothered me, “Why does FA never listen to it’s users and take action quickly?”.  Also the whole $$ thing is just wow! Now they are looking for donations again to keep it up, yet they do not change anything. There are so many out in the fandom world that are willing to help, why not listen to them? Let someone with $$ take it over and show the fandom world FA is BAD-ASS site!!  I still say, ” Do not give up them (FA) they do thier best and will keep trying. But in the booming age of the internet if you are weak others will quickly take you out in one blow.  Come on FA don’t give em’ that chance, stand up and fight the fight! Make the cool looking site and make departments for art, suits and more!! “  – end Rant .

Know Your Roommates before Inviting Them to Live with You

Ask Papabear - Thu 28 Feb 2013 - 15:15
My question is a bit of a touchy subject. Recently we helped a fellow fur out by providing a place to live, as he was getting evicted from his prior residence. We were taking a chance, being that we did not know him very well, and now we wish we had.

A couple weeks after he first moved in we noticed something was a bit off. He admitted to us quite plainly he had stolen food from his previous roommates. I was none too happy and immediately told him if I ever caught him stealing from us, that he'd be out. Not long after this incident he made a sexual pass at my mate, right in front of me. I told him not to grab my boyfriend's ass, and that was his one and only warning.

Today he told me he threatened a small neighbor kid by saying if the kid's dog (a pit bull) came near him again it would die. 

I am at a loss as what to do. I no longer feel comfortable with this fur in my house. I do not know how to break it to him that he might need to leave, especially since he traveled thru multiple states to get here, and I do not want to see anyone out on the street.

Hi, Sam,

This is a good example of the danger of letting someone into your home whom you don’t know well. It was nice of you to take that furry in, but generosity can only go so far. You need to have some respect for yourself and your own sanity. Therefore, if this arrangement isn’t working out, you are the lord of the manor, so to speak, and have the right to tell him to leave.

However, before you do that, let’s look what we have here. First there was his confession that he stole food at his previous place. However, he has, as yet, not stolen from you, and you made it clear this wasn’t acceptable. Secondly, he grabbed your mate’s butt. You put a stop to it and, I surmise, he hasn’t repeated the act. Finally, there was the dog incident, which is disturbing. I hope you told him that what he said was inappropriate and potentially criminal.

So, basically, this furry has got no social skills to speak of. Likely this is because either he was poorly raised by his parents or he has a mental or emotional problem. This shouldn’t be your problem, but you have made it your problem by bringing him into your home. You are right that it isn’t very kind of you to just kick him out onto the streets in an area he doesn’t even know well.

Do you like the guy, despite his flaws? If so, he is worth a bit of effort. I would suspect your initial deal with him was that this would be a temporary arrangement, yes? You can patiently explain to him what behavior is acceptable and what is not, and if he improves, then you don’t really have a problem, and, eventually, he’s moving out anyway.

If you don’t like the guy (behavior or not), then you need to move on this more quickly. Start working on plans to get him out now. Locate a friend or family member who will take him in and figure out a way to get him there. You don’t have to toss him on the street, but you should figure out something quickly. You don’t have to necessarily tell him you are doing this because he’s a buttmunch, just tell him that your financial circumstances have changed and you cannot afford him to stay much longer. Again, assuming you weren’t inviting him to live with you forever and ever, this is not a betrayal or a matter of you going back on your word.

Good luck!

Papabear
