I haven't ruled out ever posting to AO3 again and I'm leaving my fics up for the time being.
That said, I've made an account at Squidgeworld and am pleased with the ease and transparency of communication over there. I'm also planning to archive to a DW comm and I've made a Neocities to replace my old website. I honestly feel that I never should have been relying on just one website, but it was also so very easy. ^^;;
Fests and whatnot will be on DW. I've already done a little exchange on SqWA and it went well, so I'll keep an eye out for things running over there but I don't think it'll ever get a ton of traction and that's okay. I'm certainly not going to judge anyone still using AO3; I just personally feel that until they do better, I can't in good conscience post there. I have a lot of hope for the incoming Board, though, and truly wish them luck with being able to make some deep structural changes.
ETA: also read through synonymous if you haven't, it's incredibly thorough documentation of the last couple months of peeling the onion and finding a hundred more onions to peel.
