I'm curious, is there any point? I've already slowed down and don't post here often.
The reason I ask, almost everyone who knows me here at Eka's also knows about my FurAffinity and DeviantArt accounts. And if you don't, you can find them here:
DA:
http://metalforever.deviantart.com/
FA:
http://www.furaffinity.net/user/metalforever/
But when I see is people posting my art in the forums with links to my other galleries, oblivious that I even have one here; it gets me thinking.
Is it me? Is it the forums? I mean I spam every tag I can think of to help people find my art here. Do people in the forums not bother with the galleries here? Save for a few artists?
Tell me what you think :3c

The better question is why not to post here? If your already uploading vore art on DA and FA, why not upload it here as well?

To be honest - DA is filled with "OMG GOOD VORE REMOVE IT!!!" people who seem to stop at nothing to get Vore art off DA. With Eka's Portal you don't have to worry about that so honestly I'd keep posting. As for FA - I don't go to that site.

I wouldn't be able to have that dilemma truthfully... but a lot of users on ekas don't have a deviant art... or even heard of fur affinity - I just recently updated my DA and don't do that very often... because of all the necessities to do so... who needs prints! D:
anywho, whatever you decide, your die-hard fans will follow, and some of your regular fans as well... me? I don't bother with deviantart much, and i don't intend on checking out FA, sooo.... if you do decide to stop - I'll miss your good artwork.
Nuff said.

I've honestly don't encounter many people who want vore removed from DA. Sure these people are there, but they're not that prevalent.

The problem isn't getting people to go to DA or FA, it's getting people to notice my art here at Eka's.

Well, it seems a good portion of those who notice my art I post here, also see it posted on DeviantArt or FurAffinity. It's more or less redundant. And when people on Eka's like your art, but don't know you even have a gallery here, well it seems like a waste of time D:
Not that it takes much time, maybe I'm just lazy =p

True but this site is designed for Vore. Ultimately its your choice mate but at the same time I see the issues with DA. I will still be on DA however, so I just hope you don't get too much of an issue with it

I can't speak for the others, but until right now, I thought you had just kind of disappeared like so many other artists. I was unaware of your other accounts. Glad to see you're still kickin!

It may be just a simple and lazy reason for me, but I like to favorite your pictures here rather than DA. Also, as someone mentioned, just because DA hasn't removed any of your pics yet does not guarantee that they might in the future.

If you want non-furries to see explicit stuff that can't be posted on DA, there's a reason.

The one thing you have to remember about posting art is, well, alot of people who look at you stuff and enjoy it, aren't exactly sociable. I mean, I enjoy a lot of other peoples artwork, and well, I don't surf DA (because it's a festering haven of malware and ads, if the site creators don't respect their site enough to screen there ads why should I?) or FA. I mean, I've never even talked to you before
I never saw any need to.

I was only actualy aware of your account here ^^'.
Honestly, it would be a shame for all the newer peeps who would otherwise miss it

I love your art, and I don't have a a DA or a FA account, so this is the only place I can find your pictures! It's your choice, but I still really would enjoy your art here

Well, i've been following your work on both DA and Ekas. i also didn't know you had an FA account (not surprised, since I dont go there). I'd argue, and say you should keep posting here, but in the end; it's your choice, and not mine. Whatever you do, I wish you the best.

I dunno, up to you, but personally I enjoy logging on here and seeing your work here as well. I'm not welcome on FA at the moment and currently keeping away from it (long story), and on DA it's hard to get away with much due to prudes bitching about what is and what isn't appropriate.

Honestly I've been sticking with FA more aswell, simply cause it's easier to post the nonvore stuff aswell.

Hey I always notice ya art. But you should know I always try to reserve my comments for those special drawings (The ones that show the artist has progressed) or when I'm in a chatty mood.
Still, I also have you on my DA account.

Well, I can tell you that, for as long as I've been coming here, you've been an inspiration to me and, I like to think, other people. But I can, of course, only speak for myself. I personally don't visit DA or FA much at all, this being the main site I come to for vore, so I miss/would miss a lot of what you put up.
Hell, I've just about quit working on vore for lack of recognition--the fact that you can conjure up so much interest and have multiple successful galleries should be a source of pride, rather than consternation. I for one would be sad to see you stop posting here.
But hey, that's just my two cents. I love your work no matter what.

I first saw your art on deviant art a while ago but then lost my account, internet use, etc... (your stuff was lost/faded from my memory over time.)
Later when you first posted on eka's I said "Hmm, looks familiar..." Basically, I re-discovered your stuff on Eka's.
Even though I watch you on Deviant art now I know you are a great contributor on Eka's as well as deviant art.

Do whats right for you dude. I think people don't notice the ekas art is because its a specialty site focused on VORE. Now you would think that dosen't matter but it seems to factor into a few peoples decision making. Regaurdless, I got you on watch wherever you head.

Well I really appreciate your work, Metal. I’ve always taken notice of it even before I officially joined the club. I haven't any affiliation with DA or FA and greatly enjoy the company I keep here at Eka’s; that’s why this is the only social site I employ to converse with you and all our other friends.
As the consensus is going, Metal, whatever you decide is what you feel is best. I offer you my best wishes and will always keep you on watch regardless of whatever road you decide to take.
Rock on, Metal!

I for one rarely visit DA and am not on FA, so I only ever see your work here. Would be sad to miss out on seeing your work really, but not enough for me to become active on DA again.

I rarely use DA for any Vore related images it may have a lot more users, but you get the people that don't understand it like Liz said. I will admit it has a lot of features that would be nice to see added to Eka however that is another matter.
Attention is important when it comes to art, artist like to hear peoples responses to it and know that people that would appreciate the art can find it. There is no reason you have to use just 1 of the fore mentioned you could use them all or a different one altogether. "The right tool for the job."
You say that people don't notice your work here, and that seems to be your real concern. However if you stop posting or slow your posting it has the same effect; people wouldn't even see your work much less notice it.
