Find something more productive to do with your time than run around pretending to be informed about something that you are not. There are a lot of people who have left staff that well, lets just say there are two sides to every coin out there.
I found that response somewhat disgusting, but that's how FA treats it's users I suppose. Clearly she means "Find something more productive to do than try and help us out, we aren't listening."
Also do they seriously expect people to believe it's luck that the coin lands on the same side every time? Every Ex-Admin has the exact same story to tell, but they are all lying?
More so than that the assertion, per se, is ridiculous. FA/Ferrox Art, LLC is not a trustworthy organization. Historically, they've failed on far too many occasions to deliver on a critical promise or even satisfactorily expound on an issue. This sort of activity from FA has become rather banal, but no one on their side seems particularly concerned about it... or rather, no indication that anyone is concerned has made itself visible to the community as a whole. It's incredibly stupid and self-serving to posit the premise that people are choosing the make up rumors as opposed to do research on the subject when the people with all the answers are -- through all appearances -- withholding them, consciously or otherwise. To be fair to them though, they are a private organization, and a private organization can run itself however it pleases within the confines of the law and entirely irrespective of what their customers think. I say customers because I believe FA is nothing more than a service organization.
This cycle of FA's ineptitude doesn't seem to end. There's a disconcertingly high turnover rate in the staff, no one seems to understand -- or in some cases care -- how to properly fix issues, communication escapes them most of the time, the hierarchy of command is nonsense, the team is headed by the wrong people, and there is a great disconnect between action and promise on all sides of the fence (at least while I was there). If you ask me, the ultimate issue is the leadership which is not going to change for a long time... especially not when people
still flock to it like a life-giving medicine. Though, it is a bit fascinating to watch in a sadistic way.
As for Weasyl, I'm very dubious that this will have any lasting effects on their status. Once FA is back in business, I imagine Weasyl will return to baseline or something near it. They just don't offer enough value to justify migration. Right now, it's hard to see them as anything other than FA 2.0. If they want to be taken seriously, they need to differentiate themselves or provide something that FA does not (of which there is plenty). The alternative is to wait until FA dies out, a nebulous possibility. However, they're not entirely positioned to dive off the springboard just yet.
