Rant / vent / rambling on *Worms* in the furry fandom context
||This website claims to be a community, but in reality it's 4-5 people at most who ever communicate. Who needs a fancy gallery layout, tags and an advanced blacklist system? A claustrophobic group chat on a Russian platform that's at risk of being deleted any day by puritan staff is SO MUCH BETTER!.. This site somehow needs to be promoted to the furry fandom, but I'm not sure how, personally I don't want to talk to strangers for this purpose.||
||The staff situation looks bad, though it could be way worse (looking at you, Buzzly.Art in 2022). Let's see... The only staff members I've seen talking or doing anything since I joined were Dillocircus and Mavy. Dillocircus regularly adds content, and he usually took initiative and chose categories for tags without me even having to ask, but he has now been demoted (I wonder if it's because of some of his decisions). I had a private conversation with Mavy. That's it. I don't know who is still around to handle tag categories, implications and aliases. I'm thinking about altering one of my DNP entries to be less strict, but this is bad timing... I also find it questionable that ||Dillocircus asked me not to post any more human lоlishо, but keeps posting it himself.||.
||Recently, the whole site went down for a few days. Me and Dillocircus seem to be the only people who noticed and neither of us know what happened. Nobody in the Telegram group chat gave a flying fuck about the actual website going down even when I spoke about it.
There used to be a free and easy to use website where you could make your own Booru - booru.plus. I had 2 Boorus on there, which I put a lot of time and effort into, only for the owner to shut down the whole site one day, and it never came back since... I made 800+ submissions here, June flew by to me, so how do you think I felt when this site went down for longer than a day and the people I expected to care just ignored the situation?||
||I noticed some art/AI images of mine were removed. I don't know who did it and - more importantly - why. E621 took down one of my submissions for a false reason but I could see the reason nonetheless, ATF also gave a reason for "deleting" a submission (IDK what "deleting" means there because I found "deleted" images from as far as 3 years ago).
The first furry booru where I shared *Worms* art (not mine) was E621, that's when I realised how cold the furry community's reception of *Worms* art truly is. I thought it may be because they have no fur, but neither do sharks, most dragons, etc... Perhaps I don't understand "femboy" as the staff here would define it, and some characters I posted looked more like mere crossdressers than something that could pass as a woman. Perhaps on-model Worms don't fit any anatomical category as their bodies appear feral but they have floating hands with clear thumbs. If this is about Worms being (arguably) cute but not being cubs - the same can be said for many other characters, particularly small Pokemon species. If anthrofied worms come off as close to humanoid, I can stop posting them, but I thought making them anthro would amplify the "cub" aspect. I don't think the pictures I posted fell under "beginner/low quality art", but if the staff have something against basic character designs, I'd like it to be said and not assume it. If the staff think Worms are not cute and therefore are not a good pick for this site by default, I'd like it to be said as well.||
||July 6 update: There are no rules against ||snuff (death)||, if this is why one of my recent submissions is stuck in mod queue or has been rejected. If this subject is unacceptable, the rules should be updated to clarify that.||
