Hello Inkbunny!

I'm sure some of you have heard about what happened on SoFurry with their new AUP changes (and if you haven't, check over here if you want). While I was loathe to leave my ancient home on the internet, I'm also happy to make Inkbunny my new den on the web :)

Its been some time since I seriously considered making this place as my new home and now I'm here!

I plan to move my entire archive of content to this platform and, while the first pieces will undoubtedly be those directly effected by the new AUP changes, I do plan to include all my other work as well. I am primarily a writer but look forward to seeing some fun commissioned art and some new never before seen stuff too =3

Its going to take me some time to get used to the change so if I dont see a comment, note, or PM, please forgive me, I'm an ancient broodmother leaving her cave for the first time in ages c.c

Cheers!

I dont believe its by choice but more by force of foreign laws interfering with the SF team. Its sad but I understand why it ended up happening.

By choice or not, in a stroke of irony they may have killed the site regardless.

Very true. I advocated for SF for a very long time and brought a not insignificant number of users to the site which will no longer occur. I'm not so vain as to say the authors with objectionable content were the reason SF stayed afloat but it will certainly be a notable blow to the community overall.

It will survive, SF has always been very small but, at this point, it really has nothing to encourage growth. There are simply too many better community options =\

As disheartening as it is, I look at it as an opportunity to make my archive better so here's to 20 years at Inkbunny!

Hello new person here also from SF following the link from Do no harm. I do agree the removal of certain content is a blow but I hope it doesn't kill the site. My friends and I moved to sf from the shut down of bf and I am not sure they could deal with another site change since only one really settled in and still chose to rp.

I doubt the site will 'die' per say, I think so long as Toumal can keep SoFurry up, he will even if there are only 6 people on the site. Problem is that you use a social site for the social aspect and I know a dozen people who are leaving SF and taking their content with them. That exodus takes significant traffic off an already pretty small site. I often used SF first and directed links to it first even if the content was also posted to other, more popular locations just to drive likes and comments and view to SF and all of that will no longer occur XP

It sucks but its a sign of the times. Hell, its likely only a matter of time I feel before IB is forced to do something of similar measure and I'll have to find some other place to host my more controversial work (even if its just a locally sourced file archive). I doubt I'd go back to SoFurry though.
