Vivisector 3 Year Circlejerk Bonanza
« on: October 26, 2010, 11:49:00 pm »
Three years ago today, 27-Oct-07, three former moderators of CYD thought it might be funny to split off and form their own website and forums.  A number of other CYDiots eventually jumped ship, and the IRC in-joke slowly turned into A Thing.

Today, Viv averages around 4000 unique visitors a month, with a quarter million individual 'hits' and a gig and a half of monthly traffic.  A lot of our 300+ threads have been shitty, and a lot of our 200+ members have, as well.  Conversely, we've had quite a few threads that managed to permeate Google's search database, putting our humble little forum at the top of the list for searches about pedophiles, dogfuckers, and dead (fuck you I'm a) dragons; and we've managed to become home to some excellent (despite being furfags) posters, willing to dig up and expose the ever-present hilarity and ineptitude that so permeates the fetish subculture we smugly look down upon.

So, let the circlejerk commence!  Do you have a favorite thread; a favorite frequent Viv punching bag; a favorite poster?  Have you seen Viv pop up in an unusual place or from an unexpected search?  Do you want to send us all your money ALL OF IT so we can buy more furry porn to plaster around the smelly basements of our parents' houses and jerk it to in an 'ironic' hypocritical way?

We're the only game in town, folks.

I still don't know if Sechs is just Sage in disguise or not.

Vivisector is nice since anything talked about here is kept at least a degree more professional than any other site I've seen.

Depends what metric you want to use for 'surpass'.  We've already absorbed pretty much all the posters worth having, but on the other hand, there were a lot of really great posters and threads from CYD's early days that we'll never replicate.  Also, we have most of the good old CYD front page articles up on the blog, which certainly gives us a head start there; but we've yet to get any new folks to submit new articles or ideas.

I would like to mark this occasion with a few words:

I am of the learned opinion that Vivisector fills a niche in the furry drama market that is less impermanent than the imageboards, more objective than an FA journal, much more open than the various LJ communities, and allows for free exchange of thoughts, no matter how fucking idiotic they are.

Well, we do have "Watch Your Step", FA's own little Neighbourhood Watch as a sort of competition. Heck, to their credit they actually got Allan the Lupine Assassin back on track in life and on the road to redemption...

Well actually, no they didn't. Still trying to figure out what happened with their little poster-boy of success.

I should have clarified, I was referring to years of service.  It might very well be a useless metric, but I was curious.

For a while there he was uploading about 5 images a day on e621... all of his characters.
random gay furry art is broken , when will it be fixed ?

Some competition. Right now you can't even register without manual intervention.

Meantime over at livejournal's FurryDrama_2, the important topic of the day is:

Strange, I could've sworn FD2 was about furry drama.

Where's their sense of adventure?  Are they uninterested in actual hilarity?

I mean, they could always permaban him if things go south...

I'm not entirely certain, to be honest.  It more or less went to crap after all the cool kids left to join Viv at the end of 2007 (and hadn't been particularly entertaining for a number of months before that).  Of the old CYD front-page articles I have archived, the oldest is dated 2002.  I'll just assume CYD itself was around 8 years.

Good enough answer for me, and since I didn't say it in my first post, congratulations on 3 years.

ZenZhu's posts were always interesting to read when he was still around. Anyways, congratulations on 3 years~

Well, you're certainly welcome to post the piece I did on Assinio if you want.  Congrats on the anniversary!

fd_2 is basically for people who think they're better than the average furry, but instead have to turn to people like, well, Allan to get their daily superiority fix.

Could be the very same

And a beast without a name

Just out of curiosity, does Mitch, the guy who ran CYD, ever poke his head around here? Or did he just move on to other stuff?

I just kinda think he deserved a bit of a thank-you. CYD was a pretty fun place at the best of times.

I gave him two, TWO corndogs.  I think that's quite thanks enough.
