25k a month to run a site like FA is bonkers, even more so when you consider over half of that goes to the mods running it?! There is no way any of that is sustainable in the long term. Their GFM is 138k now, 3 months debt they had is gone with additional 2 month runway now. Then what?

I really do think they need to look into streamlining the site but with the help being whoever volunteers instead of having the ability to hire someone incredibly seasoned… It’s up to whatever help they can get.

I’d imagine FA being as old as it is is a big factor to the expenses. Maybe they need to have more voluteers? But idk, I’ve thrown my hat in multiple times and I haven’t even heard a reply back so I stopped bothering.

It would really suck to lose FA. I reccomend it to even human nsfw artists when they ask me Or, they may need to “phoenix” the site itself and/or properly purge old, dead accounts.

What really grinds my gears is them threatening to censor the site so they can take on third-party ads. My gut says they will end up doing this anyway next year and blame all of us for not helping enough.

You are spreading a few pieces of misinformation here. 1) They stated directly that they will not even consider censoring the content several times. 2) They showed the breakdown of their expenses and it doesn't match the breakdown you are saying they have. 3) They are planning on doing this yearly-

like a few other sites do. So yes, they do intend to keep doing this and stated as such.
