This is pretty much a message to my pals here who follow my comics currently on Comic Fury, Lil' Hero Artists and Sneakers' U-Force.
Comic Fury HAS descended into a heated, incensed, and controversial internet gladiator brawl recently, over something completely trivial. I'm not going to deny that, I've seen (and been a victim of) it myself. It pains me that as far as website conduct goes, decorum and simple respect have ceased to exist. The site I came to back in 2012 doesn't exist anymore. And right now, I'm shocked, confused, and most of all...sad.
My comics wouldn't have reached the success they currently have were it not for CF. Moreover, the drive to keep creating the pages and post them online wouldn't have been as inspired had it not been for CF. As I've always said, I don't care about how many views I get in a day, week, month, or even year. The whole point of putting this online is for the fact that there is always ONE PERSON somewhere on this globe who will give even a single look at my stuff. There is not a single story out there that NOBODY likes, and likewise, that EVERYONE likes. That experience spurred me forward to get to where I am now, and most of all, it's just the act of creating that fuels all of this. That's something I came to understand after watching Neil Gaiman's "Make Good Art" commencement speech long, long ago.
Therefore, I will still use Comic Fury, but only for posting my work and interacting with my fans. I'm inspired by Lady Jess continuing Promised Memories despite the current horrible situation at the site as a whole.
Matt Zimmer, TwedeeNimbus, and Jazz Nevermore, I totally respect your decision to drop CF. I've always encouraged this after my own experiences on what's left of the forums (they'll probably be fully dead soon). I won't even ask you to leave any more comments, what you've already said is good enough for me. However, I hope you'll still check my stuff out, your support through readership means the world to me.
I'll remain there, but as far as associating goes, I'm out. Flame wars and finger-pointing are NOT my idea of civilized discourse.
