In the case of DA, I'm willing to bet that the username is the primary key.

DA does support paid username changes, with name redirections included as a service, or at least they have in the long gone past of 2012. FA could probably overhaul using existing names as seed phrases to generate UUIDs, then use URL rewriting on the frontend to rewrite the backend UUID string to the stored username in the database.

But who knows at this point, they have a massive database that's nigh unsearchable from their public search tools in it's entirety. However, submission IDs are enumerable.

 

[Dawdler]

Database used to be 17TB or so, now it's probably more and in equally bad condition. Their search server went down a while ago and maybe this doesn't even work anymore. I'd be surprised if things aren't in semi-degraded state with scripts trying to connect various versions of DB. I recall on some outage, site was down for two months. Everything should be cleaned up and converted to modern versions but I strongly doubt anything like that was (ever) done. Regardless, this is the only site I know where members are actively concerned about the state of SW and HW that runs it.

 

[Lurkin' 'n' Jerkin']

Give me clocks if I missed it, but has there been any update on FA's new ownership yet? Assuming Dragoneer died without a will (because that would have taken effort and foresight), I suppose FA will pass to the next of otherkin.

Edit: Thanks, Dawdler, for the info.

 

[Dawdler]

It's registered to the Frost Dragon Art LLC and probably owned by it. So if bills are paid lights will be on for a while. The ownership of llc will probably be split among other owners and heirs. Healthcare provider may call in for the bills too.

I feel like addressing the state of the site should've been a top priority following the announcement but absolutely none of the staff or anyone remotely close to Dragoneer wants to say anything publicly. Is it because they don't want to tell people for some stupid reason or do they themselves also have no idea, I wonder.

So that's a tricky question, PA (where Frost Dragon Art LLC is headquartered) law requires a single member LLC be wound down and dissolved within 180 days of the member passing, unless the LLC has specific clauses in their operating agreement relating to what should happen upon death of the owner. This seems to be the state's way of keeping this stuff out of probate.

An operating agreement is not required to establish an LLC, and is not kept on file with the state. Basically, unless Piche thought ahead on this one, had an Operating Agreement drafted, and has it somewhere people can get to it, Frost Dragon LLC is legally obligated to be wound down and dissolved by early February.

To add to this, since the dissolution is handled by his Estate, I believe they have an obligation to sell it at a reasonable price, so they can't just transfer the assets to whoever for $1 and call it a day. Maybe someone more familiar with law can comment on this (IANAL).

FelisRandomis made a post to Telegram about what happened the moment of Neer's passing

Spoiler: Raw Text

Hi guys

Thank you for bein' patient with me through all of this. It's far from over, but the world does not stop for anyone or anything.

For those unaware, I lived with Dragoneer. While we were housemates, we were also best friends. Even though a lot of it was us still just, online lmao. We both hate stairs and he was on the second floor while I was in the basement. It was fine though. We'd still order doordash and meet in the middle sometimes to hang out and guess whether it was gonna be Chopped or Triple D on food network before we turned on the tv. Before covid we would go on midnight starbucks runs just cuz we could and talk about all the random shit that I can't even remember right now, but any time we were around one another it was a never ending conversation. Neer was one of the large reasons I was able to escape my horribly abusive ex, offering me a place to stay after I wasn't subtle enough in hiding what I was going through at the time. We were both the WORST(affectionate) influences on each other when it came to trying new food or giving in to temptation of some new grease bomb from taco bell. He always kept going, even in the toughest situations. He was always trying.

I was the one who found him. And I've done nothing but rip myself up over shoulda/couldas. It can't've been more than 2 hrs since I had gone up there to bring him something and he told me he could barely make it to the bathroom without being winded but a call with the doc had said "oh its just a side effect of the surgery". I'm chronically online. I check my msgs almost constantly. But i was so engrossed in what I was doing, i did not see my messages. It was 10 minutes. 10 fucking minutes. I finished what I had been doing and went to the main floor and pulled my phone out to text if he was hungry and I saw the message were he called for help. I bolted upstairs and he was....there. I called 911 immediately, screamed for Sol to come upstairs. We got him turned over and started doing CPR with the lady on the phone, ambulance and police showing up almost immediately. They tried, they did their best to bring him back but his lungs were not taking in oxygen. He did not deserve this. He didn't deserve to die like this. All of it just keeps replaying in my head.

I wish he had gone to the doctor earlier. I wish we who live in this fucking country didn't have to be terrified of getting any sort of care because of fucking money. I wish they'd kept him at the doctors to be safe after literally saying his lungs looked "fucking bad" according to one doctor. I wish I wish I wish, I wish so many things but none of that matters now.

I've been trying to keep busy but just around the house. Cleaning, moving things, etc etc etc. Friends of Neer's came by yesterday to help. There is so much up in the air right now and I have no answers on things I need to know. All I can do right now is try and keep this place running to the best of my ability for now. I want to thank all of you who reached out to me personally, even though a lot I did not answer. I saw and appreciate all your msgs. I read through so many journals, tweets, skeets, etc of lives he touched and brought joy to and I know he would have been happy to hear it.

I'm going to be throwing myself into work and taking on more commissions as I can. My streams are going to be restructured for more commission chances and possibly adding on another day, for general working, to help keep me on track. All I can say is I will do what I can.

Thank you for reading.

TL;DR they were at home on Dragoneer's passing. This whole time, both FelisRandomis and Dragoneer knew that there was problems involving Dragoneer that should have warranted visiting the hospital regardless of Dragoneer's lack of insurance and at no point did neither of them think to go to the hospital until it was too late. It's not like they were incapable of affording any hospital bills either, both Dragoneer and FelisRandomis also were artists and could have done events where people could have got art from them or anyone in FelisRandomis' or Dragoneer's circle that was willing on directly helping Dragoneer in exchange to help pay for hospital costs.

I love that it jumps within a few sentances from "haha we loved eating nasty, fatty greasy slop, it was our favorite pass time!" to "so anyway it's the doctors fault for not doing more."

Lmao.
Every fucking time.

 

[Dawdler]

Not much could be done overall. People go fast in the final hours. He would either pass away at home or in the hospital. It was stupid on their part to not gather money, but they couldn't change the inevitable. The decision for health treatment should be done a year ago or at latest time, 2 months ago. My money is on complications from surgery. It is why previous doctors wouldn't take him in as they know the effects. He was already one foot in the grave and clock keep ticking out. Maybe hospital could have put him on oxygen and that would extend his final hours, but he would be dead by morning anyway. With no lung capacity it's pointless to try.
I feel repulsed saying this, but i think all 3 were fat lards. The fattness alone won't kill you, but the resulting health deterioration, infections and missed health events and opportunites will end you for sure. Man couldn't wash himself and needed others to do so. The buckets of lard, while advertised and appealing are absolutely their own choices to consume. Ate himself into a grave. I would imagine, others there will follow soon, just few years appart.

Guys we lost a real one the other day... A real retard peice of shit. Rest in piss furry boy.

Terrible food, tons of it, more terrible food. Man, we had good times at Starbucks at midnight - something most people have to give up a good 20 years before Piche's age. And they didn't even fucking talk properly they'd text then meet in the middle of the house.

The idea of him texting HALP is funny. It's like the IT Crowd. Subject: Dying. Dear Sir/Xir, Help! Help! I can no longer breathe.

 

[Nimbat Out Of Hell]

One would hope this is a wake up call to them that you cannot neglect your physical health.

Lol. As if.

The fact he had to ask for help by telegram, if true, is awful.

I can't help but roll my eyes at the "I going to take on more commissions". The vultures will circle...

Furthermore, why wouldn't you move yourself, this friend (who is a fairly well known artist) to be closer to the dude in clear dire straits, in case, I dunno, this happens.

Doubt it would have helped but it's still weird.

It does border parody. But there's nobody saying it's not true and it's Felis' telegram. (Of note: Telegram is their meal ticket, they make bank drawing sticker packs.)

 

[AnimeSucksCopeAndSneed]

I'm going to begin reading through this entire thread for the purpose of brushing up on FA's management history.
Thus far, I find this most interesting:

Myr's team agreed with meet with the Project Phoenix team and collaborate on rebuilding the site. But Zaush was such an unbearable asshole that Myr and Ben abandoned ship within 24 hours of meeting him.
It was also apparent that Zaush was lying about his qualifications.

Spoiler: Ben on Zaush's skills

Zaush was only 30 at the time.

When it became apparent Dragoneer had hired an unprofessional, under qualified, lying jackass who was happy to chase off qualified volunteers, he tried to pin the blame for Project Phoenix's inevitable failure on Myr and Ben.
The most that came of Project Phoenix was a few front page mock ups. The project eventually died, like all other FA rewrites.

I hate failing and I hate not fulfilling promises.

I also hate not achieving my dreams.

It would be so fucking funny if IMVU scooped it up again.
