It's a shame. Never talked to him, but it's surprising to see how many people in my Journal Updates have.
For now, there's only the wait. The admins have enough to do, they have to sort things out and all, so do what you can, and reflect. Maybe put that energy to throwing a milkshake at a local politician who ruined healthcare, or some nice art, or just a treat to yourself.
A walk in a park, a few minutes of quiet on a bench. Let Death be an invitation to pause, relax, and redouble your efforts and focus.

That said.

I feel that whoever takes over this website should have Neer's mindset. One focused on keeping a place for porn. It's a weird thing to say, but in this world of credit companies pushing purity, a place where people can just post their raunchy ass bullshit is what we need. Our ability to share disgusting bullshit should only increase with time. The Internet is for Porn. And FA, like Atlas' finger, holds up this lofty truth.
I want FurAffinity to be like Something Awful, or Newgrounds, an eternal defiance, a permanent mark on the internet. And if it does kick the bucket, for at least the domain and a backup to be made, so should some rich, jackass Furry want to foot the bill himself, let 'em.
There's a lot of 'dead' accounts here, including historic Furries, and simply those who never had a reason/chance to make any non-FA account. For this website to die, history must be bulldozed, and graves uprooted.

To put my money where my mouth is, I put my money in their wallets. I request that, if your financial situation allows, you do the same, to show the people currently cleaning up the unfortunate mess a passing can cause that we're in this together, and we want this weirdo's memory to stand forever.

Because fuck those pansies who can't take...

I got what I paid for.

And by God should it stay that way!
