   I do like this service a lot. The tagging system is a little broken, but it works so much better than FA. I'm glad that more people are becoming active here. <3

   Don't talk. Don't talk. It makes it crawl back up.

   Funny thing, just few minutes after reading this the site came to a grinding halt. :D It recovered but it's still taking minutes to load a page at times. I guess I really shouldn't be browsing so early in the mornings while the last of the US furs are still awake. :/
   
   Personally I hate the search and browsing here. You have to click tens of times on a picture if you want to open in it up in a tab. At times it takes tens of clicks just open the picture as well. Also reloading the whole search when I click back? Really efficient(not), really irritating. It all works fine in firefox I suppose but I happen to like my Opera just fine.
   
   Anyhow FAP's founder has said that he doesn't intend to take on all the people from FA. Probably because he knows that he wouldn't be able to crank up the server's specs too many times before the monthly cost becomes too much(especially since he has 'supposedly' stated to never, ever to have any sort of adds on FAP).

      Yeah, I don't have any of the problems you mentioned in Firefox, and I don't use any other browser for comparison... sucks though.

   I'm going to mirror Mr. Glenn... not just cause I'm a kiss ass. FA is hueg, without a question, but targeted. That's why it's not as bad as DA, but... DA has a lot more bells and whistles and what not, so they can afford it. ... poor FA. The south shall rise again? *starts whistlin' Dixie*

   Thats like saying has my car that i never drive ever broken down? This place doesnt have 10000+ people hammering it all at once, that makes a differnce in traffic. If the entire populace of FA set up shop over here this place wouldnt stand a chance. The server would kersplode nobody would spend money on it and everyone would go back to FA.
   
   hence why people are reluctant to bother another site exodus, lest we forget Y-gallery.
   
   But otherwise, yeah i post junk here in the meantime. Usually the experimental stuff >_>

      Well the good news is, FAP is actually hosted on one of those fancy amazon dynamic virtual servers... Eki already cranked up the server specs once when everybody migrated here from the FA crash, he can do it as often as need be without ever 'migrating' servers.

      You make a good point! Still though, FA had some really dumb coding issues (and still does) that FAP lacks, regardless of traffic, that still makes it a better site overall in my mind. *shrug* Looks like FA is getting inundated with donations, anyway, so I doubt we'll be without it much longer.

      True, very true, but a segregate home is better than homeless.

   As far as I know, FAP hasn't ever gone down. However, I don't know if it's ever been as active as FA is when it's working, so I don't know if that has anything to do with it. Still, I like FAP's structure and features better than those of FA, and I do wish this place would pick up again like it had in its early days. You have a real search (as well as a program made to assist you in finding more favorites based on the favorites you already have called "Recommended FAP" found here: http://www.californiacow.com/orange/recommendedfap.html ), and in this place, there's actually a way to filter out the content you really DON'T want to see. As far as I know, there was no means of filtering over on FA.

   It's gone down once, as far as I can recall. I might start posting some actual stuff here if I ever make something worthwhile.

    The process for here is a little complex to be honest. But maybe the audience will be a bit more willing to leave a coment or two. Might give it a try.
