Fur Affinity is currently blocked in Russia by their government. We are very sorry there isn't more we can do to assist users caught up in this. You are welcome to try any alternative methods to try and reach the site.
To those asking "Will FA support crypto or NFTs?" the answer is "No."
We believe in supporting artists directly. Visit their galleries, +fav or retweet their works, send Shinies or Ko-Fi, buy from Etsy, sign up to their Patreon, tip them when commissioning.
FA is currently under attack by a DDOS. We are working with our host on the issue, but they have temporarily suspended our network activity as the DDOS has impacted over 100+ other sites as well.
We'll never forget you. The site honored your amazing charity work years ago, and you never stopped impressing us. You were one good boy.

What if we planned to drop an update this weekend with customizable profile banners, high resolution file support, sales, deals, pins, shirts, and $8 "furrification" checkmarks that do absolutely nothing except say "I paid $8 for this."

Update: We're still working on the site. There was another DDOS earlier which knocked us offline. We're working on bringing it back up, as well as making some tweaks behind-the-scenes to prevent it from occurring.
We're back up! In the end, we were hit by a spicier than normal DDOS attack.
Due to the volume of the attack we were forced to temporarily block Indonesia. We will look into removing the block once things have settled down.
We're moving! Come August, Fur Affinity will be transitioning to our new hardware platform, King Ghidorah -- all new hardware, faster bandwidth, and a complete SSD storage across all our servers.
While we would love the funding to support the site, to bring on additional coders, this is NOT the right way to do it, and is something we will NOT entertain or pursue. Ever.
Thank you. Have an OwO, and enjoy the rest of the weekend.
A DDOS attack was made against our router and managed to cause a disruption. We are working on it.
Related: we are currently mid-progress on our transition to our all new server hardware and hosting facility which should help minimize these issues once complete.
Our future goals are to work towards better support and promotion of artists on the site. Give creators tools to better support themselves and interaction with their fans. Give the fans better ways to support the artists they love.
THAT is how you support artists.
Our host has notified there is a hardware issue on their end which is currently impacting connectivity. They are investigating and we will keep this thread updated.
Furries is trending. What would happen if everybody who saw this tweet just responded or quote tweeted it with "Furries" in response? How high could we bump this?
We would like to also note that while you may have questions or are unhappy with this, majority of our staff are volunteers. They all work hard and regardless of how you feel about this update do not deserve to be harassed, get death threats, KYS messages, or any of the sort-

There goes Pilaf, currently the last submission on the front page. May you stand guard eternal with your piercing emerald eyes. You get all the treats.
For those curious what a DDOS visually looks like: our servers average about up to 4.5 million requests per hour during peak. When a DDOS hits those requests spike dramatically, in this case up to 45 million requests (10X our standard server load).
It's been three hours since launch, our tipping system is new enough to still have the shrink wrap on, and users have already sent over $1,000 in tips! Lots of awesome support for members of our community. Nice work, fluffs!
Good afternoon everyone! We could all use some cheering up, share some pet or adorable animal pictures to brighten someone's day!
Here are our resident fuzzies of the day~
With the recent site announcement some clarifications will be posted to the mainsite soon.
In the meantime we want to clarify a very specific concern in regards to "short" characters.
"How will this policy change effect micro/short characters"

We've had some reports that users are seeing FA without CSS (a white page with a lot of script). This seems to be an issue with Cloudflare from earlier -- clearing your cookies and caches resolves this issue.
Good morning, furries! We're checking in. We've made a lot of progress on our migration, and still have a bit more to go. We'll keep you updated this morning as things progress.
We've rolled out a big update today. We've introduced a new tipping system built directly into Fur Affinity.
We've also rolled out several improvements behind the scenes and made several subtle fixes and improves to the site.
