Dropbox Upload
I'd like to suggest the ability to upload an image from your dropbox account. Not via URL, because that would be easily abused, but add a hook into the Dropbox API that allows you to add a file or folder found in your dropbox.
https://www.dropbox.com/developers
I'm not sure if that's the URL you'd need or not. Just like a site that lets you login with google, there's a method for doing this with Dropbox and allowing the site to access files. I believe you can even make it request read only access or maybe even better, make it request access to a specific folder only. (Like, you could create an FN folder in the main Dropbox folder, so that any files there are available to upload on FN when you load the upload section and click "from dropbox".)
Are Murrsuit pics allowed?
I'm just wondering if they are i remember Furaffinity having a very strict policy on that and you guys seem more lax with your more mature pics. I'm not against murrsuit pics I'm just curious if its something you guys would allow?
Remove Popular and Fresh Sections
This has to be done because the community will only be focused towards those whom have viewership and those whom want to display their artwork will possibly won't get any views due to the separate sections, even the 'fresh' section displays all art and it doesn't make any sense to showcase all art in this section.
So to make more sense of this, you guys will have to remove the Popular and Fresh sections and instead create either a front page for new submissions or create a 'Browse' category in order to let others look at 'ALL' images.
At this point, we do not have plans to remove the popular and fresh sections. While we do want to encourage new art, the site cannot live if users are unable to find high-quality submissions. This is why having popular feeds for the week/month is helpful; people can quickly find recent outstanding submissions.
Virtual points to gain and use
I liked the Idea from Deviantart to use´and gain points for usage like giving people lamas or such.
It would be nice if browsing the gallery or favoring artwork or anything else would give you points so you can for example use this to encourage a specific artist to be more active / draw more or whatever. (the intention of the DA Lama i suppose)
Maybe there could be more interesting stuff besides that i can't come up with right now though :)
Also would work good a s micro transaction items you can buy for other artists to show your appreciation. This supports the Site and the artist which is a good deal i guess.
Like becoming lama of the week or whatever : 3c
telegram messager implementation
how about implementing telegram messager instead of traditional PM's? it would popularize this thing and also made communication much more easier... let me know if this idea even makes any sense
Completely shut down the site to prevent drama.
Seems pretty reasonable to me, since so many people are whining about cub porn. Eyah, just shut down the entire site and move back to FA, since you all love it so much.
Allow logging in without a password
The latest episode of FA Security Theater showed once again the fundamental flaws with passwords.
https://medium.com/@ninjudd/passwords-are-obsolete-9ed56d483eb#.goc0lmu0p
tl;dr: send a token embedded in a URL by email, or the token by SMS, instead of requiring passwords. Medium is actually a good proof of concept for this. You can log in just by putting in your email address. They email a link, you click, and you're in. Email remains a weak link, but that was already the case. It'll matter less as more people adopt two-factor authentication for their email accounts.
RolePlay-"Bulletin Board"
What about some place on the website where you can ask for a role play? Or you could "register" yourself on there as a Role Player who can be asked for Role Play.
That would eliminate the strongest argument against the other RolePlay-idea here, since the website won't be immediately associated with a pure-Role-Playing-website. What do you think?
Artist profile section similar to deviant ID on Deviantart.com
Artsits and users would be able to list their interests according to categories, such as favorite movies, T.V. shows, books, music, ect. while keeping the information in easy to read, sectioned, and labeled lists.
Varka gave a helpful image to show how this can be done. This can be customized and will likely fit the need described here.
let the addition of download button be the artist choice
while people come here to post their work not many are interested in letting their content be downloaded - on Devianart, this feature is left to the artitst to add or not as since this it the internet anyone can pick it up and post on another site.
I stumble two of my fan arts (one of Mr. Bug goes to Town, an old Fleischer Studios animated flick) been shown on a Youtube video, and another from Gremlins been spotted on another site I'd never joined a few months.
Greetings, as it has been stated by several users, removing the download button is not going to prevent someone from downloading a piece of art. The Download button is there so that a higher resolution version of the picture can be downloaded if it has been uploaded to the site rather than the downscaled preview. If you do not wish to have this available to users, then upload a lower resolution version of an image.
