Braford: SA Policy Changes (it was good while it lasted)

  Braford: SA Policy Changes (it was good while it lasted)

Considering on how much SA has grown in the last times it"s almost obvious that this was going to happen sooner or later so I"m not surprised t all.

It appears that, SA has decided to stop hosting any kind of adult material by the next January 16th.
You"ll find the complete story in the main page"s news.

For what I saw from now on things will be more similar than in DA but even with censure this place is still more user friendly, with less annoying options than DA.

In any case I"ll keep my site here... if it"s not completely wiped out after Jan 16th of course

That stinks :(

I wish they'd seperate the sites, or put a stronger warning on the site. Where will you go?! back to your old site?

One of the ideas that's been going around to allow folks who have adult artwork that they would still like input on from the community here is to post censored versions of their pictures and then include a link to an offsite location where the uncensored pic fits.

Also, there's alot of your art that I would say qualifies under "mature" and "tasteful nudity". But those will be deleted if they are marked as "Adult" because the dump will be automatic and of those marked as "Adult". Anything that you feel should qualify as acceptable to keep posted you'll need to go in an change to "Mature".

I liked being able to connect with artists on here and not seem like a fanboy or a stalker. I'm glad that you're sticking around because I've always loved your style and especially your collabs with Carpe Diem. Granted...I could stop being so shy and give my opinions over on BornisDen too. :)

if i undertood. they will have 2 server ?
the old, whitch they are mature and not mature draw and the new without mature draw ?
why don't they put all the no-mature draw on the new and the mature draw on the old ?

ZaineOtter Says:

Well I'll have to check your adult stuff elsewhere it seems. But I'll definately stick around for your mature stuff =3

Mikau Says:

It really annoys me to no end that all adult material will be wiped out, and you can bet that will be a lot more than half of what the art is here on SA.

Doppleganger Says:

Well at least you're not exploding like some people are (not that I blame them), but between the art theft policy, Kuma Chan going a little crazy with rage about it and getting himself banned, the no more adult content situation is really giving me a headache. Well it won't effect you anyways since you are so many groups.

Reznok Says:

Perhaps they could make a seperate adult page with what you've mentioned.

Ashkihyena Says:

Yeah, I'm not entirely big on this server thing as well, and I do hope your gallery remains untouched (though with this new, stupid policy, ya never know).

BigTheCat2004 Says:

If anything happens here, I want to move to Brafords Gym. At least their is freedom there.

Braford Says:

Ohhh don"t worry, I think that "explode" was precisely a right word in this case because that"s what happened in many cases.
When I heard about this news the first time I was also very upset indeed and in some way I"m still upset because with this decission they are going to betray what was suppossed to be the main spirit of this place.
It is true and understandable that their host service could have a "no adult material" policy that could have been one of the reasons for wich they"re taking out all the adult related material.

But if so, I doubt that their hosting company has just put that item in their "Therms of Service" contract.
To me it sounds that to compete with a place such as big as DA, the words "free from censure" sounded as the best publicity to grow quickly.

To be honest I"ve been thinking a lot about this and I"ll wait to see what happens after the witches hunt starts to see if I stay here or not.
