The Last FAP
I closed FAP tonight.

I had a lot of fun with this site. I have never learned so much, or created such a beautiful website. None of which would have been possible without the amazing community behind FAP.

Here's hoping my next big project is this much fun.

Just like that? No advance notice, no reason given?

Also, weren't you taking monetary donations toward various features to be coded? Will those be refunded to whoever donated?

Also, where's the money from all the user donations for specific site features going to go?

PS: seriously wow I can't get over what a dick you are.

Paying for hosting. Anyone that made a donation in the last couple weeks can get a refund from Amazon~

I must say I find this terribly amusing.

With all the sly potshots at FA during its downtime, from both you and your fanbase, betting that FAP will outlast FA and go on to be bigger...

And at the very first sign of adversity of any kind, the site just vanishes without warning.

Wow. Not to say that I was a fan of it or anything, but it seems like your fan base really is going to burn you. I don't know why. Perhaps maybe they forget that your a full time working, young man with no credit looking for an apartment and don't have the manpower or time to maintain a site. I honestly don't know the reasoning behind closing your website, but I don't see why people are killing you because of it. Leave the poor man alone, guys.

And as for the donations, theres no refund on donations. They are donations for a reason, you give the money up for purposes beyond your control, and give good faith that your money was put to good use. Just cause a place that you gave your money away to ends doesn't mean you automatically want a refund.

Jeez guys. Get off the high horses, they're too stoned to care.

I was smart enough not to donate to this site, thus I lost no money.

And your completely correct.

The donations were given of free will, and with "good faith that your money was put to good use" as you put so perfectly.

Those good uses, as stated by your friend here right on the site were to 'improve FAP and bring new features'

I don't think any one is on a 'high horse' over being lied to just to get their money. If you thought you were donating to a benefit, something that you actually liked and enjoyed and cared about, and then found out the person you trusted turned around, lied to your face, and put your money right in their own pocket and then, on top of that, took away this thing you enjoyed, wouldn't you be oh maybe, say, just a /little/ upset?

Unless you like having your trust and faith betrayed, and your money taken on false pretenses, then I would assume you'd be rightfully upset.

Suck it up, your friend is an ass whipe, accept it, get over it, and enjoy the mass lulz to come from your good friends open act of douchebaggery.

Btw, FAP sucked anyways, I'm just here for the lulz C|

Well, since you're shutting FAP down, can you make the sourcecode available? I'm curious how the backend was coded.

I really, really wish you had let us all know it was going to happen and had given the opportunity to pass it on to a group of people who were interested in improving it and keeping it running.

What you've just done is extremely irresponsible. You think the FA admins are bad? Well, even through all the downtime and ineptitude, they don't just close the site down because it's "not fun" any more. In fact, judging by their inability to deal with and fix the complaints they get barraged with, it should have stopped being fun years ago.

Suck it up. If you're not going to be personally involved, at least show some respect for the people who've come to rely on FAP. I lost exclusive watchers thanks to this bullshit move.

What was all this talk in your FAP journal about respecting the artists?

Even a few days, hell, a few HOURS, notice would have been better than just pulling the whole thing spur of the moment for apparently no reason other than YOURE bored of it.

I'm sorry you don't feel you have any time to do your projects, but trust me, awesome or not, noone will care because the furry fandom at large (and you know this too well) never forget drama.
And this WILL be epic drama.


I'm just glad I DID make a copy of my commissions through notes on FAP, else I'd be screwed.

I know it was a free service , but closing it just like that was rather .. rude!

It doesn't affect me THAT much since I was just starting to use the site and didn't make any contacts yet.

But when it comes to regular users.. well..
You're not going to make friends there o.o

I like how a lot of people are saying fuck you, but I personally think it makes sense. It's called Real Life. Not everyone can sit on there ass and work on a website all the time.

I really don't get the disrespect for artists and omg I want my money back comments. It's furry art. Not something that's intensely life-changing.

I totally understand that someone might not have the time to manage a website anymore.

But you don't just decide to close it down without advanced warning .. it's pretty lame!
