FA Obsession Collection / Re: [THE CREATURE STIRS] or "A rare FA code update"

« on: December 10, 2013, 04:45:56 pm »

What the fuck does that even MEAN?

It sounds like they have some script that breaks apart the notification load into parts. If I had to guess, whatever they are using is skipping over some data causing their database cache to keep growing. This probably means that at some point they will have to rewrite their new notification system before the site will be functional again.

Pretty much just typical FA. They update a few lines of code and the whole site goes to shit.

people need to be beating down Dragoneer's door on this.

Uh, maybe not.

We made some changes this morning. How is performance holding up today for everyone? Better, faster?

FA's been completely unresponsive for near an hour now...

You are schizophrenic as all hell and need some professional help. I've said this a few times, but it seems to not be sinking in.

Sorry about your imbalanced perceptions of the world. There's not a whole lot anyone here can do for you, unfortunately.

You could like, make him stop posting. Huh huh.

Pretty sure this guy is a troll or something.

The database is known to be several hundred gigabytes in size, to the degree that it was once said the notification table was nearly 400GB alone. That's probably millions of rows. All because they refuse to force delete ancient notifications "just in case" someone needs one someday.

I find this fucking hilarious. Were they saving them with the whole string and HTML formatting for each row? Haha.

FA will be upgrading our database servers.

Woah, pretty impressive having FA upgrade their servers for them...

I'm wondering how this would take anywhere near 2 days to complete though. All FA typical bullshit aside, can't it be as easy as copying the database from one drive to another? I don't think that should take anywhere near 2 days, unless they're using Wi-Fi, or like, Bluetooth to do it.

Other Topics / How To Effectively Ruin A Furry Business

« on: July 03, 2013, 09:55:35 pm »

If you have ever been interested in seeing the perfect way to ruin a buisness in the furry fandom, look no further!
A fursuit maker known as SparkyCanDo has found a great way to ruin her business for a large portion of the fandom!
Here's how to do it:
1. Post an aggressive "Pro-Life" journal on your business (and not personal) account!

It's that simple! Since posting it (in 2 days), she has managed to get a total of 2171 comments on said journal, has lost over 300 watchers, and countless other potential customers! Lucky for us, the fandom is good at saving cached copies of journals like this, so let's have a look!

Not my typical journal nor dose it have anything to do with my fursuit business
besides the fact that "I" who solely run this business fully support the pro-life movement.

It is one of my passions for people to know the truth about it and stop abortions altogether.

So I would like to suggest if you have never really thought about it, on the fence about it
or maybe you have had an abortion yourself to go to this site and read/watch up on what
abortion *really* is and maybe then your eyes will be open to the truth that is so real.

---> http://www.liveaction.org/inhuman/ <---

I truly believe this is the worst thing we as humans have ever done,
and I am ashamed of this, so please open your eyes and don't be blinded by
this gruesome *hush hushed* holocaust allot of people so readily shrug off.

If you agree, please sign the petition in the site *based in and for the USA* -they appreciate donations too!-
If you are outside the US then I strongly suggest you get involved with your country's movement too!

It is time, time to ban abortion: The blatant murder of innocent babies.

Love you all!
Peace out

~Sparky

Note: To all offended by this, it's not my intention I just want the 'truth' to be known.
This is to important to me to not have a say about and show support in.

Note: If you are fully pro-abortion which it looks like allot of you are, that's fine you can
have your opinion, and I can understand why you are all I am saying is it's worth looking into, you
might just change your mind once you know all the facts. Life is worth double checking on.
A child's life is worth a second thought.

Cached Journal

Here are some of the comment highlights!
http://i.imgur.com/8DN5ACn.png

It also just so happened that some people actually had proof that the user was anti-LGBT, and a pro-zoophilia video was liked on her YouTube page called "DEAD SEA LIONS Yellow Books."

(It's just something that's interesting. I don't know if this is in the right spot, or if this even belongs on this site, but it seemed to cause a pretty big backlash in the community, so maybe it does. Feel free to move or remove this post.)

Sex.

Dammnn! It's gonna be like Weasyl all over again!

Phew, good thing it won't get done, like every other feature FA is going to not come out with.

Weasyl Wankfest / Re: Reactions to Weasyl

« on: April 13, 2013, 06:56:06 pm »

I love how people keep using the "there's no-one there, so I'm not leaving here. Yeah, it looks well built, and this site is fucked, but it's just going to die."

CONTRADICTION?

It just seems like the lazy mans excuse. The admins of the site could damn well help out rape criminals and dog fuckers and they would just say "NOT MY PROBLEM."

Oh. Right. They do.


(But in all seriousness, some of the admin team are a bit power hungry on Weasyl (not that some aren't on FA.))

Weasyl Wankfest / Re: Floof dev speaks out against Weasyl [Ironic]

« on: April 11, 2013, 04:57:36 pm »

I've received approaches for new startups from four different individuals/teams of individuals now - I totally agree with your views. If everyone came together and actually made it happen, things would be awesome.

Why does anyone want to keep making more sites??? That's just going to break people up even more and make people leave all sites but FA faster. It's time to call the quits. Now that Weasyl is public, THERE IS NO MORE DEMAND FOR ANOTHER SITE.

It just sounds like everyone wants their slice of the pie. :/

FA Obsession Collection / Re: Furaffinity leaks - An Ex-Admin speaks out about the terrible state of FA

« on: April 10, 2013, 05:33:44 pm »

I've got to admit, I'm glad you did this.  This was important, germane , and key information.

I wish you'd just done a log dump instead of the commentary, though... it kind of put you in an odd position.  See, I am involved with a few projects in furry software engineering, and had you just posted the logs I would have thought you didn't have a motive. 

But now..  I gotta admit.. I probably won't ever consider you for dev teams for any of the projects I have going.  I don't think you're someone who can be trusted.    I know what you say your motives are.  But your actions and your motives seem to be at cross purposes.

On Reddit, you claim you were impersonated.. but then at the end of your first post,  you almost beg Weasyl to hire you and you act as though you're already "going over there."   

So, yeah.  Good job in doing the right thing somewhat.  Sorry that it pretty much means the end of you in any serious dev team capacity in fandom.

But then again, it's fandom.  A name change, and you're right back in the mix

Hey, this guy gets it.

To be honest, I have to agree with most of the people here. Yeah it needed to be done, but it seems you did it for attention, and that puts people off. There could have been better ways to get the word out there had you not wanted attention, but it's pretty clear that you did.

(P.S. if you wanted to do it right, you would have waited a while before posting part 2 and part 3. Leaving people with the want for more will get you way more attention. What people can't have, people want. It's called Psychological Reactance Theory and it may be a good read if you ever want to pull a stunt like this again for attention.)

Kitashi apparently talked about the code he changed on FA on an IRC.

He was mad that little changes to the code were taking so long to get the go-ahead. Who wouldn't have expected that!?

FA Obsession Collection / FA's Horrible Admins (AKA Death of FA)

« on: February 16, 2013, 03:08:55 pm »

Recently, a very popular FA member qarrezel posted a journal in response to an admin's decision to remove a friends journal. Apparently this person had been stalked by member fredriksam.
Here's the journal:

(Edit: Fixed screenshot. Last one was too wide.)

The link can be found here.
Already masses of users have moved over from FA to Weasyl "Permanently."
Could this be the death of FA, or will people just come back, because you know, it's FA. Only time will tell.

Edit:
As of right now (February 17th), since the journal was posted (February 15th), a total of 4616 new users have registered on Weasyl. I'm betting a lot more will join as the news passes around the fandom.

If you hate FA, leave, just leave

I just don't understand. In what dimension is it a good idea to tell your users to leave? Ever!? This is the only site I've literally been told to leave because I've pointed out what's wrong with the site. Normally any other site administration would fix the problem instead of shunning people who criticize it or point it out.

Another problem caused by out of date software. Or firmware. Whatever. FA is shit, you get the point.
