work was beginning on coding custom forum software because it was decided vBulletin was "bad".

there's enough evidence here (i.e. the mountains of things still wrong with Weasyl) to suggest that caution isn't unwise.

hint: you are the only one saying this

the count of open issues on redmine has no bearing on reality, because (given a quick glance, without even logging in) half of the tickets are duplicates and half of the rest are conflicting feature requests

turns out, a simple count of objects in a database is not a meaningful metric of anything

for the 10-billionth time:
shut
up

The duplicate tickets were closed. Adding up the features and bugs, there are 119 open things, and with the 13 -very significant things- I counted as missing (user groups, the ability to prevent people from sending you friend requests, the ability to SET A FEATURED SUBMISSION and more), there are 132. Even if Weasyl fixes these at the rate of one a week, it will not be until 2016 that it's actually up to snuff. But again, I am not asking anyone to give up on Weasyl. Just to merely not dive in head-first and upload their entire life's work. If that still prompts a shut-up response from you, advising people wait and see before jumping in head first, then okay I guess.

Christ, can you please stop with the double negatives? They're giving me a splitting headache along with making me feel you're not making any notable points whatsoever.

Sure, but I don't understand why you're only focusing on the semantics on my posts instead of the points.

Why are you trying so hard to silence me Pi? And why are you incapable of discussing this without throwing personal insults around? It only damages your credibility to behave this way. I can't believe you actually broke the coding on my account so my post would erase itself when I went to submit. I mean, it's not like that when I log out, so.

just hangin' out in this thread after fc

wanna know what i didn't do all weekend?

care about FurAffinity

On a members-only and closed livejournal community, Furrydrama_2, Dragoneer stated in a now deleted thread that his own GF was able to identify Zaush merely from the description of his behaviour and that he had tried to make her have sex with him too (presumably before she entered into a relationship with 'Neer):

Quote from: Dragoneer

I tried to clarify that, but I doubt it will matter at this point. When I told Sciggles of this, I left out names... and she mentioned that Zaush tried to do something like this to even her. But she mentioned when she said no, despite him keeping asking and insisting, he backed off.

So I can't verify it on every instance, but I didn't agree with Zaush and the accusations concerned me. I just didn't want her getting burned.

I mean if he willingly drove his browser here, er, I mean, signed up here and posted, then clearly we would be in the right to dox him because he was totally asking for it.  Right?

videozaush: speaking to ant of you: if your dedication does not match my own, then you'd just be dead weight
Ben Anderson: Moral 101 - don't say anyone is dead weight
Ben Anderson: you have to motivate people
videozaush: how do you motivate a soldier?
videozaush: you make them realize how human they are, strip him of his pride and his self importance
Ben Anderson: or ya know "for queen and country"
videozaush: from there, you can motivate them to the stars
Ben Anderson: we are NOT soldiers
Ben Anderson: we are website coders
videozaush: you see this as a way to get attention, or money, or something
Ben Anderson: we are people who want to do a good thing for a large community
Hunter: He's right zaush. You motivate coders with irish coffee. :3
videozaush: you need to be prepared to get nothing in return, have people jeering at you and throwing rotten fruit, but not drop out
Ben Anderson: so
Ben Anderson: your idea
Ben Anderson: to motivate your co-workers
Ben Anderson: is to basically stomp them into the dirt and say "get this shit done" ?
videozaush: i motivate them by putting us against the world
videozaush: and you don't get anything done just jamming on ideas, or having wishful thinking

Apparently FA went back to normal operation briefly and then went into read-only mode again?

Two of the hard drives that failed earlier have been replaced and the RAID arrays are being rebuilt.
Because of that FA can not yet handle the full load and has to remain in readonly mode for a while longer.

Surely, if we stop everyone from talking about Weasyl on our forums, nobody will find out about it, right?
