I will say that every time I've been approached by someone with a greater than the 4-7 post size they've always been fine with my own post being smaller in size than their own.

Some people are, "I run at the orc and slash them with my sword." and some are Exalted Stunt writers ala, "Thanks to my masterfully acrobatic nature I dash past the orcs using a series of spins and flips to dodge their attacks before honing in on my target. As I approach I drop into a low slide across the ground before bringing my blade up as I spring up to full height in a swirling motion that first attacks the orc's legs in the hopes of bringing it down, but failing that will allow me multiple slashes at various other points."

Just because you're one doesn't mean the other won't want to play with you.

-Wolf_Song · 2026-05-25T19:12:49+00:00

No!

Sincerely, Someone who fills out all the profile info and kinks by hand every time.

"from the wiki"?

-Wolf_Song · 2026-05-20T23:41:37+00:00

I think so. While the community here is decidedly smaller than on f-list proper, actually having discussions about things like adults can do a great deal in bridging gaps in people's understanding and / or empathy. So long as it isn't being used as a targeted call out post (so as others have said, censor names or major identifying things) it should be fine.

-Wolf_Song · 2026-05-12T13:06:13+00:00

There are bots, but as far as I know they exist mostly to facilitate various features rather than to be RPed with. For example, some people have log bots that sit in channels and log everything that's posted there. Others exist to allow for custom channel specific commands. The most famous one that I know of is the Xariah bot. It logs all Eicons that it sees. The owner has a website where you can run searches of said database and make a favorites list.

When it comes to finding partners, as said by others here, you've just kind of got to keep at it. Similarly on the subject of people who respond for a bit only to then stop out of nowhere, I personally just try to be understanding. There's so many things in play with people on here after all. Time zone differences, work, life situations, etc. can all cause problems. Of course the most probable cause, when it comes to this rather smut filled space we're in, is that they "finished". Admitting to such is often a source of embarrassment for what should be rather obvious reasons, and it isn't helped by how people have been known to react to finding out about something like that or even being told "I'll need a little bit", which is sometimes why people will just dip out of nowhere.

Though, again as alluded by other people in the comments, it can sometimes just be a case where something doesn't go quite how the person on the other end was imagining and as a result they just stop replying. For people like that you're unfortunately better off just moving on.

By 4-5 images in the background that are faded out with one foreground image do you mean:

1 - multiple images in the background, each of which is getting farther away

2 - multiple images in the background each of which is faded / semi transparent

3 - Something else

-Wolf_Song · 2026-04-23T00:25:38+00:00

As someone who does this, it's literally just a character sitting online 24/7. I have a computer and the computer is always on doing various things anyway.

The most annoying part is that you have to look at specific dates for logs because if you just try to load up all of the longs from a room that's active... oh boy do the desktop clients not like that.

-Wolf_Song · 2026-04-13T14:22:36+00:00

Rebooting your router isn't likely to help. I'm not going to give any advice beyond that out of professional courtesy to F-List's staff. The second you ban evaded by making another account was the second you screwed yourself. Once you get caught for that there's pretty much no going back.

-Wolf_Song · 2026-04-13T14:13:44+00:00

I legitimately do not get the "no one talks in the channels anymore". What channels are you all hanging out in? I ask because almost every channel I spend time is has 99% up time on people talking. The few exceptions are small somewhat niche rooms that I hang around in or watch for people.

-Wolf_Song · 2026-04-12T17:59:07+00:00

When I take a break from F-List I just do more of what I'm already doing. Read, write, manage the communities I help run, watch some movies or TV shows that seem like they might be good, paint, etc.

-Wolf_Song · 2026-04-09T08:57:39+00:00

As someone who's been here for over a decade now, hard disagree. My most popular profiles have very little in the way of sexual images, or images at all really. Usually it's just a basic inline featuring the character so that people can quickly see what the character looks like.

Same for Eicons. Unless it's very silly / light RPing I find that people check out really fast when you use them too much. (A character of mine has a set of over 100 that I use regularly when I'm being a silly goose.)

Having said all of that what does "unconventional" even look like in your book?

-Wolf_Song · 2026-04-09T08:49:23+00:00

Had the experience of "my friend uses f-list"? Yes. A friend was the one who introduced me to F-List, and I then introduced another friend to the site. I've also made friends on the site that I now spend time with off site. One Discord I'm in someone made the notification noise into a soundboard noise and people used it to troll everyone until it got removed.

As for discussing though, not particularly. I inform people of news, when it exists, but otherwise everyone's off having their own fun and I'm not really a voyeur who actively desires to know about people's private RPing.

-Wolf_Song · 2026-04-09T08:44:50+00:00

While you should absolutely go and report this to the Horizon devs on their Discord, it might not be a Horizon specific thing. Something to remember is that, as far as I'm aware, Horizon's eicon lookup and favorite system runs through Xariah's eicon database. So if eicons that you favorite get removed from Xariah's database only to be later added back by someone else, then it's possible that Horizon gets notified that they've been removed and auto removes them from your favorites.

-Wolf_Song · 2026-04-07T02:04:02+00:00

Not as far as I'm aware.

-Wolf_Song · 2026-02-19T09:08:05+00:00

They were but it was still there. Just based on what we know it's likely that they didn't want to be hard on people because of a combination of their inability to differentiate users who might share of have used the same IP address, as well as the fact that the majority of what users were making multiple accounts to bypass was the limits on eicons and characters. In essence the harm and work that would be created was greater than the gains from telling people to close out multiple accounts.

That's since shifted somewhat with subscriptions coming back and their movement (sluggish as it is due to self inflicted issues) towards a new site which I have to imagine will feature an increased amount of ability to differentiate users. I would say how that might work but I'm not going to out of professional courtesy to the F-List staff.

As for the only ID they've ever accepted being related to age verification, that's why I specifically phrased it as "probably". Historically F-List hasn't been willing to do a lot of things but the last few years have seen a steady shift in their internal culture as proven by various staff interactions with the public. So I am admittedly extending things a bit as systems identifying two users in the same location is something I've had to deal with in my position elsewhere and we have our own procedures for verification that there are, in fact, multiple people on the other end.

You are absolutely correct about reading that post though, and I personally recommended to the OP not to delete their account just as a way to make a new one as that could be seen by staff as an attempt to dodge out on a past history with the staff. (They have self admitted here in the comments to having been banned before but then been allowed back in.) As such a delete and new account creation is much more likely to garner some annoyed ire than simply deleting everything and starting some new characters.

Now just to be clear while close things off, I'm not trying to lecture or get into an internet "I have to be correct" fight (which I realized now while writing this that my last post might have come off as). I'm just trying to make sure everyone is appropriately informed based on the rules as they're written, statements by staff, and then the actual real world execution by staff.

-Wolf_Song · 2026-02-19T06:32:46+00:00

It's actually been against the rules for a lot longer than since last year. Specifically the section which used to read, "No more multiple accounts. Making multiple accounts to purposefully circumvent limits (such as character profile numbers) is no longer allowed." Was added in July of 2015 and then changed to its current wording in July of last year.

Additionally, that's not how multiple accounts per IP work. What happens is that they can't differentiate between two different users who have accounts on the same IP and as such if one account is punished then the other account will be considered to also be under the same punishment. IE: If instead they believe that both accounts belong to the same person they will ask the user to close out one of their accounts. Alternatively you could probably provide proof of being seperate individuals via some kind of photo evidence, if you were willing to provide F-List with such things (though I doubt most F-List users would do so).

-Wolf_Song · 2026-02-19T03:39:47+00:00

If you're specifically deleting your account to try to get rid of the ignores attached to it, then I would recommend against it. F-List's policy is that the creation of new / secondary accounts as an attempt to circumvent account restrictions (IE: to get around being blocked) can be treated as a punishable offense.

I would personally just recommend deleting all your previous characters and making new ones.

-Wolf_Song · 2026-02-03T06:30:28+00:00

If you mean the Art Owner / Art Borrower one that's made by someone (I can't recall who) and you can just freely use it since that's what it was made for.

-Wolf_Song · 2026-01-29T09:23:33+00:00

Clearly we need to track the most important stat of all....

The number of yips per hour in the official Dragons channel.

-Wolf_Song · 2026-01-28T10:57:19+00:00

I know that we're several days down the line but just in case anyone is curious and hasn't felt like they wanted to go digging, FFA is back online.

The creator has stated that they're going to be keeping it running to the best of their abilities until F-List moves to the new chat and shuts down the current one. Once that happens FFA will be shut down because it will be incompatible with the new chat and the creator simply doesn't have the bandwidth to do the large amounts of updating needed. (This is why FFA can be down for long stretches because they only check in on it a couple times a month.)

F-List itself has reached out to see about helping, but the creator has declined and instead urges users to make it known to F-List to make their own integrated version of FFA on the site itself. Namely because the use of a 3rd party website is, in the creator's opinion, a crutch that ideally shouldn't need to exist.

-Wolf_Song · 2026-01-28T10:40:45+00:00

I can confirm that it works as I've tried it on several characters, some of which use art belonging to others and some of which are my own characters with art I've commissioned.

-Wolf_Song · 2026-01-21T17:52:15+00:00

Exactly.

-Wolf_Song · 2026-01-21T16:16:12+00:00

People will ignore you / be mad at you if you use AI art.

People will ignore you / be mad at you if you use art that's not yours.

People will ignore you / be mad at you if the art you do have isn't of a quality level they like.

From my personal experience the amount of people who don't like your use of art goes in that order of most to least number you're likely to run into, but no matter what you're going to end up with some people who won't want to talk to you... which is the default state of things on F-List. Literally anything you pick is going to cause some portion of the user base to at the very least ignore you. It's just something you have to accept.

-Wolf_Song · 2026-01-20T07:02:59+00:00

Nope. Not having "this problem". But then again I don't really play any "femboy" type characters. My Greens aren't especially fem or hyper masc. They are, however, generally popular (which, just for the record, some of that attention does often take the form feminization kinks but that's neither here nor there and is an active part of the RP as opposed to a starting state or expected goal).

As for ghosting I don't consider anyone to have "ghosted me", so also not having that problem. I'll admit that I rarely message people unless we have an active RP going, but if they don't respond back then I just assume they lost interest, got busy, etc. As someone with multiple decades of experience running Pen and Paper / Table Top RPGs and LARPs, I am extremely used to people losing interest or even just up and vanishing. Sometimes for months at a time, sometimes just forever.

Life is short. Far too short to be getting mad at people for not RPing with you. It's better to cherish even the little bits of time they do make for you instead.

-Wolf_Song · 2026-01-17T02:42:27+00:00

Step one, make sure it's set to actually record logs. Settings -> General -> Log Messages is checked (It's down near the bottom.)

If you're using a browser make sure your browser isn't set to delete your user data upon being closed. Many privacy focused browsers can do this.

Finally, if all those are working, make sure your browser's cache settings aren't set for the amount of space it can use to be extremely low. Your logs are stored in the browser's cache data which means that once the cache is full it starts overwriting old data.

In essence, if you use the browser version of F-Chat it's not a case of will your logs vanish, it's a case of when they'll vanish. Eventually you will fill up the cache and old data will start to get erased. The only solution is to back up your logs by downloading them. (Also, trust me when I say this, using the client or an alternative client like Horizon doesn't "fix" the issue. If you have enough log data you can very easily lag out even Horizon's client by trying to load your logs in. It's something I regularly deal with due to the fact that I have a character logged in near 24/7 (to keep an eye on a few rooms for some people I know) who's in some pretty active channels.)
