#dragoneer — Public Fediverse posts

It's so fucking absurd and depressing they still try make someone else pay for the medical expenses of the person of someone who passed away, they're vultures. Those medical bills should be void after someone's passing.

I also just want to remind you of possible scams when it comes to Fundraisers, and double check before before sending anything.

Now that I got that warning out the way, if you're able and isn't going to put any financial strain on yourself, then go check out and donate to the GoFundMe fundraiser campaign for Dragoneer's passing to help support cover these insane expensive costs for medical bills and more.

I’m seeing a lot of wild speculation about the future of FA now that Dragoneer has died. Here is, to the best of my knowledge, what we know as of the time of this post.

What We Know

1. Dragoneer died last night.
2. The US healthcare system failed him.
3. Dragoneer was an owner—and possibly the owner—of Frost Dragon Art LLC.
4. Frost Dragon Art LLC is the legal entity that owns FurAffinity and has owned FA since February 2021.

What We Don’t Know

1. Whether there were other owners in Frost Dragon Art LLC that will be responsible for continuing operations. The February 2021 announcement said Dragoneer was the sole proprietor but that was 3½ years ago.
2. If there were any legal plans in place for the transfer of Frost Dragon Art LLC to another person or entity in the event of Dragoneer’s death.
3. If Dragoneer had a will and, if he did, whether or not that will provided specific directions for the future of FurAffinity and/or Frost Dragon Art LLC.
4. How Frost Dragon Art LLC will be handled by the courts if it’s part of Dragoneer’s estate and goes through probate.

Pure Speculation

Any rumors regarding the future of FurAffinity are currently just that: rumors. Until we have more information, we can’t even make reasonable guesses as to what might happen to the site and its contents.

Here are a few possible scenarios based on what we know.

• FurAffinity continues to operate on autopilot. Bills are automatically paid by the LLC, out of accounts controlled by the LLC, even while the LLC’s ownership is in question.
• FurAffinity comes under new ownership. The new owner could do as they please, ranging from maintaining the status quo to making radical changes to the site.
• FurAffinity is gracefully shut down in the coming three to eighteen months. Artists will have time to find new homes for their work.
• FurAffinity abruptly shuts down due to the LLC missing a payment to a hosting provider. Chaos ensues.

I don’t feel comfortable placing odds on those various scenarios. However, it’s probably a good idea to back up anything you care about on FA, whether that’s your own work or someone else’s. That’s been true since the site launched and it’s still true today.

Sometimes the most important thing a person can ever say is "I was here."
—Dragoneer, May 19th, 2024

I woke up today to the saddening news of Dragoneer's passing.

I never really spoke to him or had much of any meaningful encounters with him. Yet his presence was somehow always felt. He was a constant in the fandom.

Throughout my life, the fandom has been the most formative experience and a pillar for me personally and continues to be to this day.

Back when I was just figuring out what furry even was in my early teens, it made me feel right at home and it made me feel safe and at ease; something I was seriously lacking in my day-to-day. The fandom and the people in it helped me figure myself out, showed me that I am worthy of friendship and love.

And it all started on FA.

I still remember when I was frequenting early artist home pages, one among them being Dragoneer's home page where I was fascinated with his drawings (some of which I cringily used as avatars on MSN Messenger, flashing all of my contacts with dragon dicks). I frequently checked his website for updates and new art because I really enjoyed his works.

Then one day as updates slowed, I saw a notice that he's been very busy with a new project called, you guessed it, Fur Affinity. Since I wanted to keep up with his art, I signed up in 2006 and that is the account I'm still using to this day.

I've met the loveliest people through Fur Affinity and it was my main hub well into my late 20s. Without FA I wouldn't be the person I am today by virtue of the connections it allowed me to forge with a global community that I share a strong bond with, stronger than I ever felt. It is home to me, it made me feel like I finally found a place of belonging I've searched for my whole life.

Sure, not everything has been sunshine and rainbows all the time and a bunch of questionable decisions have been made in the past. A lot of conflicts were fought over the place that lots of people call their home, because they care immensely that it can be the best version of itself and be the safe haven that they came to know and hold dear.

But I am of the firm believe that the decisions, no matter how controversial, were made with the best intentions in mind to keep this place going. That we have a community owned space to return to. Free from profit chasing overlords that are running the places we used to hang out on into the ground.

For all intents and purposes, Fur Affinity has been a pillar of the fandom for decades and I am glad it's still around and kicking. It might not seem as bustling as it once was, but it is home.

I am sure Dragoneer felt the same way and was willing to carry out the role of the owner of this website despite all adversities he faced while he was doing so. For that, he deserves nothing less than the utmost respect.

From the bottom of my heart: Thank you, Dragoneer! May you rest easy now that you left us with a monumental labor of love that continues to be there for us to this day!

You left your mark on the fandom.

You were here.

The hospital sent #Dragoneer home while suffering from pneumonia having a high fever.

They said he needed to wait two weeks for the biopsy results. No further treatment.

They knew what they were doing.

They sent him home to die.

With some bureaucratic excuse for plausible deniability.

But in reality he was murdered for cost saving reasons.

He could have hired a hitman on himself and get out of it with less suffering and less debt, and just as dead.

Americans why are you so fucking stupid to support this exploitative, misanthropic system.

Well, apparently #Dragoneer, the founder of #FurAffinity, has died.

https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10923887

Checking his account page, looks like a severe case of pneumonia that took a sudden turn.

https://www.furaffinity.net/journals/dragoneer/

I met him online a few times over the years, seemed like an interesting guy. I guess this is a reminder to try and keep in touch with people: you never know how long you'll have the opportunity to reconnect with them.
