More breaking news: Dragoneer is bad with money. Sideline: They look after their pets.

Not to defend Dragoneer/FA, but that document is incredibly conspiratorial. It citing him as purchasing a $6-$12 movie ticket while in "crippling debt" as evidence of fraud (or even poor financial management) is nonsense and immediately reduces any credibility. The other examples of his ostensible negligence or misappropriation of funds are just as lackluster. If Dragoneer is truly skimming money from the donation fund or scamming users under false pretenses (both of which are very serious claims), then there needs to be some very clear evidence before anyone should assert the idea. Otherwise, it's just libel/slander.


On another note, I'm curious why he felt the need to donate funds to SoFurry. Are they in some kind of financial duress or something? I don't know the relationship between him/FA and the various other furry sites, so my understanding is not wholly formed. It just seems weird and unprompted that he would decide to donate funds donated to him to a competitor--and I use that word loosely--and furthermore that it would be only SoFurry or at least SoFurry in particular. What about Weasyl and InkBunny? What precluded them from receiving any funding?

Because SoFurry is not run by enemies (in Dragoneer's eyes). Or at least, SoFurry has zero chance of usurping FA's influence, as petty and uninspiring as that influence is.

Dragoneer is good friends with Toumal, who runs sofurry, but he has no concomittant friendships with anyone at Weasyl or inkbunny.

It is in my opinion a misuse of donations because he's donating the money to a friend, as opposed to supporting other furry sites, as shown by the fact that he only donated to sofurry.

SoFurry is the only site that wasn't created to compete with because FA is a pile of shit.

I just see it as a middle finger to anyone who dares try to usurp the King of Furry Art Sites from his throne.

I thought it was simply that SoFurry was consistently down at the time as well (and indeed remained down after FA came back up). Other furry sites were offline for only a few hours.

Dragoneer is doing the non-apology apology thing and claims to be "working on it" re a statement:

Also, if you remember, over the past few years Sciggles has been using her relationship with Dragoneer to involve herself in running FA (e.g appointing herself to train new staff and making idiot rules dictating what sonic porn has to look like : https://forums.vivisector.org/index.php?topic=582.msg6417)

However at this point even Sciggles is distancing herself from her husband and from FA. She claims to have "no control" and to no longer be involved or wishing to be involved. She even claims to simply be "a spectator just like you"(!):

Sciggles has moved her twitter account and also protected it, not long after former FA cheerleader SilverAutomatic started questioning Dragoneer's actions after he banned someone for calling him out on Twitter.
