Greetings, everyone! Good to talk to everyone again after a crazy few days! Hope you're all doing well!

This update will contain some good news, and some bad news. So without spoilering too much, feel free to read all the way to the bottom of this Journal.

I'm going to start with the good news, because I like giving good news!

Clef's 10th Anniversary!

Can you believe that this Clef has been alive and kicking for 10 YEARS?!

The current Clef was made by  azflip almost ten years ago, with his debut here on Furaffinity on October 26, 2014.

Since then, Clef has had 4 owners and has been all over the world, at various conventions, making people smile and inspiring them through the power of music.

This year, I'm going to celebrate this momentous occasion by throwing a party! And you're invited!
If you're coming to Alamo City Furry Invasion this year, I'm hosting a 10th Anniversary Party there this year!

I'll be passing more information to you all through my official Twitter account, twitter.com/WolfClef!

And now, for the bad news...

Final Furaffinity Update

If you saw the last art piece uploaded to my FA gallery, it hopefully would prepare everyone for this last bit of news I'll be sharing.

The most sobering part of this journal is that this will be the final Furaffinity update to this account. As such, this is the very last Journal I will write here, and I've published and favorited the last pieces of art on this account. From this moment on, the account will still remain online, but only as an archived gallery for others to enjoy.

I'm going to come out with it and just say that the recent hack/outage has exposed the site as still being significantly vulnerable to a cyberattack, and it's an embarrassment for Furaffinity. I've lost any and all confidence in the site admins to safeguard this site and fear that more hacks and outages are in store for Furaffinity in the future. I've already taken the extraordinary steps of backing up all the art offline, and they will be uploaded to a new gallery on Itaku: https://itaku.ee/profile/clefwolf

I urge everyone who is reading this to take measures NOW to save your art, before you may not have the chance to do so.

In the meantime, feel free to follow me on other social media channels for more updates:

(I do have accounts on Weasyl and Furry Network, but I can't access them, so I can't respond to you if you send me a message here. I can respond to you on the other accounts listed above.)

I'd like to take this moment to thank the over 4,000 watchers who have been watching and keeping up with Clef art here on Furaffinity, and the many amazing artists who have created Clef art. Thank you so much, and I'm hoping that the art I've shared with you has amazed, enchanted, and even excited you over the past 11 years.

Thanks for the memories, and I'll see you all again. Until then, see you later, and play on!

- Clef
