Note from Xenofur:

This was a fake posted by someone using a proxy and not a single bit about it is true. They merely copy-pasted Nadia's name tag (badly) and wrote this. You have all been trolled by Anonymous.

I am going to leave this up though, because it is amazingly hilarious how many furries did not take a single second to think and blindly believed this. All y'all should be feeling all kinds of silly now.

Fchan is always going to be a free site. :)



Dear FChan members:

Please note that from this day forth, I, Nadia, proclaim FChan to be free of DNP.  Those artists currently on the DNP list have been notified, we at FChan have decided to pay their licensing fees.

Unfortunately, those licensing fees, combined with the number of people using AdBlockers on FChan, have incurred a large debt upon the mods. We all have families to take care of, however, and cannot support the site alone.

So, I would like to announce that as of November 5, FChan will become a pay-only site, available through Visa, MasterCard, or Paypal.

For those interested, Xenofur is currently compiling a torrent of all of FChan's current content, which will be available sometime around November 15th.

Thank you for your cooperation,
ナディア

I'm curious about how much it would be.

And on the case that it's too much for me, I will have to thank you for providing a place where I learned how to give somewhat effective critique, at the very least.

It's time to close the site forever.

Well, I guess this place'll be dead pretty soon then. I can't imagine why anybody would pay to go to an image board, when there are free alternatives that already don't have a DNP.

Remember how fchan was like BEFORE nadia took over?

Yeah, if it was left that way it wouldn't have to be like this.

So, you are going to pay the artist who are on the DNP list a fee, but any other artits who's works are posted here will not get anything, as you make a profit off of their work.

LMAO!

This is a bad idea in my humble opinion. This is one of the few remaining sites where artists can go and post art without too much retribution. I do agree with the others, the site will soon be history.

Word of advice, spread this around as much as possible.

Second, Nadia enjoy your lawsuits.

If I have to start paying to see this site, it'll feel like I just got bit into by a drill though to the chest. My eyes would be tearing, back bent in half from the shock of the bite AND I would have a failure right there on the pavement.

I smell a troll.  Can we have Xenofur himself post in this thread to confirm?  Wouldn't OP have an #admin by their name?

Considering that this site has been free and updated for so long on a server that must cost something to maintain then I don't really see an alternative. For those licences and lack of sponsor contribution it was inevitable anyway. I have been visiting this site for a while now off and on to see what was new and I will miss it when it's pay. Unfortunatly I'm not in the best of ways in finances or I would be glad to contribute. Good luck to all of you who have posted and shared content as I have.

Speaking as a person on the DNP list, no-one's talked to me about anything, let alone getting paid for stuff... I also claim this is a troll.

Nadia doesn't use the admin tag last I checked. Ever.

So now everyone on the DNP list is OK with their art on here, provided they get some money?

So basically you're going to charge for an image board... which runs based off of the number of users... which will dramatically shrink due to charges... so the people who -do- pay will get less... and they'll stop paying too? So you're killing fchan?

29Report

Wow.  Just wow.  I suppose if you want to kill Fchan slooooowly that would be the way to do it.

Honestly, fchan as a pay site just won't work. An imageboard lives or dies based on the users posting content.  Pay site = few users = fewer users = fewer and fewer users = dead pay site.

Fchan with a DNP is better than no fchan at all I would think. Heck, lately I've been coming to fchan for primarily /dis. There's no way I'm going to pay for that!

Nadia - Just give the site back to Freehaven (if he wants it).  Maybe he can bring it back to life.

This is the most retarded thing Fchan ever did since the DNP list.

I don't believe it, though. No mod tag. Anyone can put "Nadia" into Babelfish and turn it into Japanese characters.

I don't fucking care. Pay site or not, Nadia has turned PChan into an absolute shithole since she became the administrator.  And then they deleted all the posts a few months ago?  What a joke. I'm going to Ychan from now on.
