- Honestly, unless FA is really looking like it's going to die, I think fragmenting an artists galleries into multiple sites is just a bad idea, and one that probably won't happen. FA has a solid foothold and unless they start screwing up a lot more than usual, few people will even want to leave.

I've found this site to be much more reliable for finding new artists than FA is, since it's easier to search on. Most people on FA don't tag their work very well, so having other people able to do so is a major aid.

Well, not yet anyways. It would be child's play to link someone over to e621 via a FA/DA journal entry if they want to buy a print. And if e621 gets a kickback then it will lower the site's running costs.

On the topic of how the site will be run: Are the mascots still going to be used? I really liked that idea, if it's still an option.
