Happy 1st Anniversary, Fluffy Community

October 14th, 2021

Hey folks,

We’ve certainly had a long, crazy year together. The craziness started well before this date, but believe it or not, this day marks One Year of FluffyCommunity being an independent entity.

We’ve seen hundreds of arguments, misunderstandings, and frustrations
and on the flipside
we’ve seen hundreds of new connections, returning creators, and new friendships.

It’s been a tumultuous year
and personally speaking, I wouldn’t trade this experience for anything.

Like many of you, I too was heartbroken when Fluffybooru.com went dark, on Sept 30th of last year.
Unstable and unpredictable as it might have been, this fandom was my little bastion of sanity after the whole world went insane.
This is where I came when the world stopped making sense.

And I believe a lot of you feel similarly.

I believe this
because so many of you reached out to offer your help in picking up the pieces and rebuilding a home for us.
Thank you all. From the bottom of my heart.

Despite everything, we’ve come together as a community…as a family…to keep fluffies alive

Though

the fluffies might not always have enjoyed it


There is still quite a lot to do.
Still so much to be re-located
Still so much to be re-uploaded
Still so much to be pieced together
Still so many improvements to make here,
so that our new home is comfortable, and livable.

And seeing so many of you putting your hearts and souls into new stories only tempers my resolve to continue making those improvements.

In the coming year I may not be able to keep such a close and watchful eye on where the community is going.
But many of you know that you can speak to me at any time, and have your opinions heard.
I ask that you continue giving me your suggestions on every matter that gives you concern.
Whenever I can come back home, I will give them their fair consideration.

I love what this fandom was
I adore what this community is becoming
and more than anything
I’m excited to see where we might go.

Thank you,
each and every one of you.

I hope this coming year will be just as interesting as the last.

Ever your vigilant servant,

~Virgil

Everybody I talk to says that your work embodies a lot of what was well-loved in fluffybooru, and even before.
Keep doing what you’re doing.

Yeeeyyy! Happy anniversary :heart:, thank you all for making this site a welcoming place, even I, who had never drawn anything remotely like a horse until I met the fluffys and this community, found here a place to finally belong.

Wow one year has gone by fast! It’s nearing a year for myself getting into this fandom this month.

I’m in awe as to how much this site has progressed!
I prefer this site over the subreddit in all honesty.

So Here’s to many more successful years to come!

Reddit is an excellent way to garner new attention
and for the two weeks that we didn’t have a home it was an excellent lifeboat.

But I don’t like Reddit’s administration or their “Anti-Evil Teams” coming in and telling us what we’re allowed to say, what we’re allowed to talk about, and how crass we’re allowed to be.

It was very clear that Reddit could not be a permanent home for us.

In the coming year I would like to put someone in charge of reposting really excellent works To Reddit,
rather than having to collect works From Reddit.
