So the big "Archival" tool people are tossing around to grab stuff off FA only grabs gallery images. Anything floating around for profiles, journals, scraps, and metadata?

The more I research into it, the more I think people should be grabbing their FA archives immediately.

Unfortunately the states involved in the legals don't just give you free access to business data like I'm used to, so I can't be entirely sure. Only mostly.

One of the stranger art requests I've ever gotten...

Moving my sites over to gopher to avoid AI scraping

I've said this before but I'll note it again in response to Game Informer shutting down: expect more and more corporate silos to just flip a switch and go dark before they even announce. This is becoming the SOP because the basilisk of the Archive Team bandwidth bill kick in the pants as you exit is gaining legs among industry people.

Hell most of the time it's not even AT. It's people who wanna save their subscription stuff. But go off.

hey, furry peeps. in the light of recent events it's not out of the realm of fantasy to assume that furaffinity might close down. so, if you can, try to archive as much as you can, so that we preserve as much art as we can. thank you

edit: i have been informed of furarchiver.net, a tool that makes archiving art from FA easier. please use it liberally.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_murder

"When one individual inflicts bodily injury upon another such that death results, we call the deed manslaughter; when the assailant knew in advance that the injury would be fatal, we call his deed murder.

But when society places hundreds of proletarians in such a position that they inevitably meet a too early and an unnatural death, one which is quite as much a death by violence as that by the sword or bullet;

when it deprives thousands of the necessaries of life, places them under conditions in which they cannot live

– forces them, through the strong arm of the law, to remain in such conditions until that death ensues which is the inevitable consequence –

knows that these thousands of victims must perish, and yet permits these conditions to remain, its deed is murder just as surely as the deed of the single individual;

disguised, malicious murder, murder against which none can defend himself, which does not seem what it is, because no man sees the murderer, because the death of the victim seems a natural one, since the offence is more one of omission than of commission.

But murder it remains."

Friedrich Engels, 'The Condition of the Working-Class in England', 1845

Dragoneer, once known as Preyfar and best known as the owner of FurAffinity has passed away.

So yes, I've heard the news about Dragoneer. I never really was into the kind of circles he seemed to be a part of, nor have I had an FA account for a few years now.

I will be 100% honest. There were things that he did and said that I didn't agree with. Regardless, I thought that the news was said, and I know that his family deserves all the privacy and respect going through what they're going through now, and I was hoping for the best on some kind of peaceful passing.

Then I found out what he was going through. Now I'm just mad.

I'm not going to be last to say it - fuck the US healthcare system, and fuck this capitalistic bullshit society.

I know that this guy made shitty decisions, supported the wrong people at times, and maybe was into "weird stuff", but almost nobody deserves the fate that he received.

Rest in Peace.

ok, @frameworkcomputer dropped this on fb and the alpha hacker bois are not happy about it.

hey furries.

the deadline on this is the 25th of August and we've still had nothing. she's running low on food and medication and can only rely on invoices and credit for so long before repayment is due.

it works out to about $200 USD if seeing it in Swedish Kroner was putting people off.
