I assume you do not get paid, so what is your interest in running a furry image board that is mostly porn? Also what is your favorite board on Fchan?

well, two things for me:
1. i'm a programmer
2. i like to help people
fchan allows me to do the first in a live production environment with relatiely big freedom for me. and well, the second just comes with the nature of modding things. =)

@ boards: /f/ /s/ /c/ /crit/ in that order ^^

Q). What is my interest in running a furry image board that is mostly porn?
A). Oh, that is a tough one. Especially since I am not much of a porn fan. Even more complicated to explain since the majority of the artists I would consider ones with enough talent and skill to catch my interest are on the DNP.
One could say the original reason and the current reason are very much different. Originally I came on because there was one artist in particular who is/was DNP which I have a sizeable investment in. That combined with my past experience in both system administration and the fandom made me a key choice.
Of course, my reasoning has changed, and shortly after taking on the project I realized that there was a chance to reach certain parts of the community through this board. To give artists who wish a place to advertise. To give those who don't wish a safe way to keep their work off the system, and of course to reach those in the community who don't know better and teach them that the artists rights must be respected.
All in all I would say that some days I feel the whole project has been a complete wash. Some days I actually do get annoyed at posters and especially those from other systems who know the reality of things but insist it is their god given right to be both jerks and theives. But, the majority of the time I feel that we have reached a great deal of people and have managed to keep fchan not only alive, but in many ways prosperous through everything.

Q). What is my favorite board?
A). That would be a toss up between /Reports and /Bans.
No, all joking aside - those boards don't actually exist - I would have to say I don't really get the time to enjoy any of the boards. Like I said before, to me the best artists are mostly on the DNP, and in a previou thread I explained how I prefer a physical original, not a digital copy. Which would leave /dis.

I help out on the boards for a few reasons. One is because I believe that there isn't enough respect in the world for others. Since I'm familiar with the furry scene and the art world within (my s/o is an artist), I thought it would be as good a place as any to try and make a difference.

I agree with Nadia that there are times it seems hopeless, but I've always been a very stubborn person with a penchant for defending lost causes.

I guess my favourite board is /c. It seems to have the most mature crowd of people and rarely any problems. And I've seen some nice art there.
