Or he could just not be a fucking faggot and hand the ownership off to someone else.
Didn't you read the announcement? It's literally too much work.
Using my supreme hacking skills of using my eyes, there is a good chance this guy customized his YT channel URL using his real name.
No. But it's funny and always nice to have the name of the internet "tough guy."
My bad. I didn't realize it was the "I would hack KiwiFarms if I could"-guy. Carry on.
This sounds similar to what happened to a website called OekakiART back in the early 2000s, it was a central 'hub' of oekaki boards hosted or given out by the host of the site, Kameloh. OekakiART died when community supposedly didn't keep the lights on with donations.
They could also not link their identities to their real persona. Seriously why do people label themselves irl based on their hobbies? I don’t call myself a writer or artist, I just say I like to draw.
I remember Nabyn. That was 'that fabulous alternative to deviantArt and FurAffinity' others kept praising. There wer even sections were you can write about your characters and include relevant art. However, the site was invite-only and ended up dying. I wondered why... until you told me.
Most 'Furaffinity alternatives' that have popped up over the years just tend to die as fast as they appear. I'm still shocked Weasyl is going, but it seems dead.
The same thing happened to SheezyArt with Spencer and Channel Cat. He left a long message back in 2014 (archive) where he basically gives a sap story saying he neglected his family who "needs his help" and how it's just so hard to keep the site up. I also found an old message from 2005 where it seems like he was up to the same shit (archive).
Reading through the replies to this was interesting. An equal mix of people telling him off, asking him to post the source code so someone who wouldn't find it 'too hard' could carry the torch, and saying their goodbyes. It was like attending a funeral which doubled as a mob rally. Personally, I think he's being ridiculous. I mean sure, you do this in your spare time, but that just shows that someone else more autistic than you could easily step in and fill your shoes. Just pass the torch, man. Don't throw in the towel and fuck everyone else over.
I used to love Sheezyart, if only for the highly customizable profiles. I don't think it was ever furry specific, but it suffered from the same issue Artgrounds had where the furry mascot put off a lot of people from using it and taking it seriously as a platform.
As with freedom, all free things in life come with a cost.
It's funny - I remember someone named KayFedewa, (Twitter / DA / FA / Patreon / Her (archive)) an artist who has been making the same boring comic for years, was claiming at conventions that she created Wolfhome some time before 2010 - but when you look here, you can see it's owned and created by Bill Underwood / Gre7g Luterman whose wife has been Kyoht (also since before 2010.) I don't have proof of her claims about owning Wolfhome because she was telling to everyone in-person at cons. KayFedewa has a drawing here (archive) from 2012 which says it's for her "new animal art and roleplaying forum" named wildreign.com (which failed instantly.) However, you can see all of the comments asking if they can use it for Wolfhome. She also tried to make 'blackbloodalliance.com' in recent years which failed as well. She seems like the kind of person who would go and say they created Wolfhome because their own shit sucks.
