You Are now not allowed to redesign your charas body type to skim for Ice Cream Cows. Even if you bought an item for it. "Unfortunately we have seen quite a few instances where the only trait being changed is the body type. Specifically from Thick/Heavy/Beefy to Skim. Because our group focusses on fat positivity this goes against our core belief. We have decided to no longer allow body type changes from common to rare."

Minkin by sa1b0t and edelilah sounds about right

Kinda sounds like Minkin? Goat/deer like, shimmer marking rarities, popfurs used to trade their own og pop cs for them. SA1BOT retired the species a while ago, probably why you haven't seen them around

It happened a while ago so please take my memory of it with a grain of salt, but from my understanding Thall kept making new 'versions' of JRs where they started getting thumbs, slightly different bodies/heads, the ability to walk upright, etc. They did this without talking to Simo, the original creator, and it got very messy for a while before they split. I think Nebs are considered 'different' enough now that it isnt as bad, but when the split first happened it was messy af

Entertains offers journals are just for ego boosting or trying to get characters way more than what their character is worth. With normal trade journals it depends because at the moment every trade journal I put up I get spammed with offers of characters that aren’t even worth half as much as the character is worth and I personally don’t want to lose over 200$ a time

im not comfortable outing a third party from fa who's been waiting on the commission from gatorbite since 2017 (re: no namedropping), but if you go on artistbeware there is a post by someone else about the same issue, from a batch of customs from december 2017 for custom gatordogs and "gilded felines". likewise, just google artist bewares for tortle or gatorbite and you'll find plenty of evidence of him not producing commissions people paid him to do.

I hate how tarrath keeps making a new species/arpg, tends to it for 3 or so months (or 1 year if you're lucky), then as soon as things start falling behind and they "lose steam", makes a new species and rinse wash repeat. Sometimes they dont even announce when a species is going on hiatus and leave it to rot or worse yet, delete characters/myo slots if someone doesn't reply in a short time frame (see glimmews for myo slot deletion & islands-of-pau for old pau being untransferable after set date)

One CS maker I follow is getting on my last nerve. They've been solely making fandom content while leaving their already dying CS to rot. That would be fine on its own but when I checked their queue they've got customs and art they owe that is half a year or older on it. If they're going to behave like this I feel like they should just quit their CS instead of trying to milk their supporters by selling MYO slots every few months when they want money for fandom merch. Very unprofessional...
