ATF will be shutting down. One less place for me and other artists to post. What a bummer.

@Rage_Grenade, from what it seems, the owner is tired of all the people using the platform for a gateway to real stuff, and I don't blame them; even the responses to that are full of people not sorry for their actions. Still a massive blow, though.

@lillytea @Rage_Grenade I saw that kind of attitude there from MODS of all people. I remmeber some mods saying that all the content should be permitted, even CSAM

@Rage_Grenade @lillytea Yep. The only reason i even use ATF is because of a mod for the game Onirism and I never stray away from that thread because the one time I did it almost made me wanna puke

@Weiss @lillytea That's probably why I never saw that stuff. I never used the message board, just the booru. I would post my art and then browse the other images for a little bit.

@Rage_Grenade @Weiss @lillytea yeah, ATF's death is necessary for the health of the lolicon community at large. it may not seem like it, but this is a good thing. weird ass MAPs trying to trojan horse their way into loli, and through ATF they have unfortunately gained ground.

@beardalaxy @Weiss @lillytea With all this new info my mind has changed on it and I'm not going to be posting anything else there going forward.

@Rage_Grenade @beardalaxy @lillytea I just really hope the modding community there finds a new home because they do damn good work, especially on the Skyrim side

@Rage_Grenade @beardalaxy @lillytea BTW full story of why the site is being shut down came out. Seems an older mod that had been removed was called back at some point during the owner's absence due to their technical knowledge and made backups of the site. Things went sour, said mod did things that weren't ok, started threatening to disclose the database of user accounts and thus the site owner thought it best to shut the site down entirely to protect people's privacy

@Weiss @Rage_Grenade @lillytea that is part of the story but there's some other stuff too including costs, legal climate, and the community itself

@beardalaxy @Rage_Grenade @lillytea I'm reading the relevant thread right now, seems the internal conflict is the main reason. Or at least it's the reason being presented

@beardalaxy @Rage_Grenade @lillytea Good news though, they found someone willing to host the booru. And there are talks of rebuilding and rebranding the main site too

@Weiss @beardalaxy @lillytea That's cool. The booru is the only part I was interested in.
