New "free art" website
IMPORTANT EDIT
Just had this comment via FA from one of my watchers:
Major alert - shortly after following that link, my google account has been hijacked and has been mass spammng. I have d/c'ed from the internet (using phone atm), and am virus scanning. Be VERY careful, or avoid altogether.
If anyone thinks they got something nasty I'm really sorry - try running HouseCall ( http://housecall.trendmicro.com/ ) - its an online based virus scanner so it can't be affected by anything on your system. I had no negative consequences from visiting this website but some others have - if you have been affected I am incredibly sorry :(
A friend of mine recently alerted me to yet another art theft rich art site - Never To Much Yiff. You can see it advertised at the owners FurAffinity page and he states:
"You can download and archive of 11,745 sorted by artist. I am not selling it is free to download so enjoy and please donate 2$ every 5$ goes to animal shelter of my choice"
(I took some liberty with this quote... the typos on the picture made me cry).
So in a nutshell, this person Techie9098 is putting up work by other artists without permission, and charging "donation" for them. I haven't checked the artists affected by this though as it requires downloading a torrent with all of these files.
Just a heads up for people.
EDIT:
His main page has been replaced by a Caramelldansen video but the download link remains and the torrent is still on pirate bay.

You're only looking for a new one because you know you've been caught doing something you claim others shouldn't do. I think you should keep using it, you sure haven't had a qualm about it up until now.

You did so in the previous discussions. The whole "they're going to make it illegal to download art" crap, it's a strawman. The Shakespeare and Mark Twain thing (which I add you did not back up any of your claims about them) was also a strawman.
No, I've been looking for some time since the icon is no longer fitting as cute as it is I no longer have a stik, I have wheelz.
I simply haven't found the right artist to do what I have in mind for my new icon yet.
As I said, as far as I'm aware, the icon came from an icon post that were supposedly free to use.
