I claim no credit for finding this; I got it from Squnq's LJ. (Worth a read, high entertainment value)

For those who haven't seen/heard yet, apparently Arcturus, once proud co-admin of FurAffinity, has settled on the name "ART PLZ" for his own new furry art site. Again, for those who didn't know, he was going to call it 'Artfu', until everyone told him it was stupid and asinine since there's already an artfu.com.

I'm betting it'll be a pile of virtual smoldering rubble by New Years.

As idiotic as I consider the creators of FA to be, I don't believe that Arcturus is stupid enough to call his splinter gallery "ART PLZ" unless he wanted to see it go under.

I personally liked FA, but I think it could have been run way better. I think both Jheryn and Arcturus were at fault in the decimation of FA for poorly running the site and not having the ability to settle petty disputes. Well it's been said that furries ruin everything they touch.

Right now, DA and SA are looking pretty good in comparison.

My name suggestion would be "Arcturus Pornoptical Erimitage" or APE.
Domain would be... "ArcPorn.com" or "CumNseedogdicks.net" .

Well of course. It's a furry site.

Given all the drama that's likely to erupt, I think the moniker NIGGA PLZ would be much more appropriate.

Wow, the naming of domains can't get any lower than ArtPlz...
DramaLlama would of made a better choice for a domain name.

Ugh... Why did furries decide to become goon/farker idiots after that whole thing anyway?

He might was well call it "OMGWTFBBQART" or "LOL ART".

This is fucking getting sadder, and sadder, and it makes dA look better by the day.

pics plz

Haha. Best the grand opening announcement be mailed to the camwhore community. If Arc wants to compete with dA, he'd best lock in the overcontrasted fat girl angle shots and cutter-poets. So much trouble just for fan-suck. At least it keeps him off the streets!

Already on the up and up here.

I'm fairly certain the name won't be the oNLY stupid thing about the site.

It can get a lot worse as far as naming goes.

Well, hey, at least you know what you're getting if you click on it ;).
"ARTPLZ" sounds like some kind of pre-teen kid begging random artists to draw their fursona with 1337 speak and alt caps.

I bet that ART PLZ will end the same way as FA.
My two cents.

I dunno. It may live, as with the camp split, FA got the most dramawhores with Preyfar/Dragoneer now in charge of bringing things back up while Jerhyn hangs back or whatever.. and Arcturus seems to have a idea of how to run a site without leaving huge f'n holes for every SA wanna be to come in and disrupt. We will see, as like everything in furry with two opposing sides, there's bound to be intersite drama (I've allready seen and spoken to artists who are supporting ArtPlz and shunning FA)

From what I see, as long as the site is kept going (Arcturus knows the secound it goes up, there's going to be anon trolls and FA supporters trying to flub it up to make him look bad) and the idiot drama is kept to a dull roar and only where fourm goers have to deal with it, they should do fine.

And really, while ArtPlz is a tad silly (So was SheezyArt and FA), it is a furry art site that will have a large amount of porn, copyright infringment and art whores, watchers and followers alike..so they don't really need to worry about trying to have a viable rep like DA does..or is working towards.
