Considering their ratio of funding to bandwidth, it's amazing they've lasted this long overall. Perhaps some artists are secretly diverting a percentage of commission sales to keeping the site running?

And besides, ESC, FA is far from the only source for furry art, prawn or otherwise.

*sighs and rolls eyes at Sprotchy's comment* Oh, if you only knew how cheaply you can run a site. :) Any statements made by an admin about the OODLES of bandwidth they have or the INCREDIBLE expense of servers are always exaggerated. Did you know LD5 runs on a Beowulf cluster on an OC-3? It's True(tm)!

I guarantee that FA is either running in somebody's basement or at BEST on 4U's of rack space at an ISP somewhere.

FA sounds kind of like DA(deviant Arts), but specially for furry, and not as censored...

Don't get me wrong DA is a nice place. Especially If you into Naga...

I agree, and have thought the same for a very long time. FurAffinity is kind of like DeviantArt - it's really a kind of popularity contest. Not sure if I'll get stepped on (in a BAD way :P) for bringing up YiffStar here but I really much prefer hosting my stories and such there, because people really don't read stories on FurAffinity. From what I've collected it's all about the visuals there.

Regardless I have an account on all three of those sites just for the hell of it, and I was banned on DeviantArt about a year ago for uploading gay 3-way dragon tentacle porn. :3

Yiffstar is a much better story place imo. Naturally it has a bonus on being useful and efficient since its run from South Raptorland, or at least was, but it is just made to host stories and have a working flag system on those, that is also admin-checked, as opposed to people having a line for going freestyle berserk on to put any funky terms in that they find cool or are an in-joke with a friend or just made up or misspelled or that dont work as space is the separator so you cant have words with a space in it...
I dont see why they rather recently (as in few years ago) tried to make it an image place too though, as its simply not a place people look for images at, and any attempt to make it a prime place for that is bound to fail while FA is around and is where the popularity is. It would be like some kind of rogue alternative sports league for those who fail in the official one when you want fame and glory, or your pictures looked at, I guess. ;)
But lets see what becomes of it when its through with its change in two days.

I dont even know if I can imagine what gay 3-way dragon tentacle porn looks like, but I'll support your right to post it anywhere. :D And you can definitely post it here if you like. Not that I think there's all that many tentacle-lovers here, but if it has dragons, it must be good for someone. :)
