Talk:Georgia Furs

Attributions to me
First, I kind of object to being considered one of the founders of georgiafurs.com, even though I guess I kind of was. I was living in Alabama at the time and helped put together the message board and website because ... well ... I knew how to do it and some friends asked me to help out. I did it because I thought it would be a fun project, and haven't thought much about it in the intervening years. Interestingly enough, I still have all the old, original GA Furs graphics I did back in 2004.

I didn't do anything with georgiafurs.net. Other than it having an "obtained" (to put it nicely) copy of the georgiafurs.com database, I otherwise had nothing to do with that site and it has nothing to do with the current or, as far as I am concerned, the original concept of georgiafurs.com. The current incarnation of .com is far closer to my original idea of the site (that it would include a blog, pages and a message board), back in 2004, than anything in the last five years has been.

In my opinion, there is no "ownership dispute" here. The ownership of .com never changed, just the people running it over the years. What this is is a schism in the community.

I don't appreciate having been wrongly attributed as one the georgiafurs.net founders. Just to be clear, I did my work on georgiafurs.com, not georgiafurs.net. I did it because I was asked to help and thought it would be an interesting project, not out of any desire for credit or ownership. So, in the future, please make sure you check with the people who supposedly founded a project before attributing things to them that they didn't do. Kiranlightpaw

other Georgia communties
Article says "Georgia Furs refers to a number of similarly-named communities", but includes ARFlist (Atlanta Regional Furries) which is not named Georgia Furs. If the article is going to be about communities named Georgia Furs, then I think ARFlist should be moved into See also section of the article. If the article is going to be about all furry communities in Georgia, then i think article be moved (and link to atlanta_furs LJ should be added). What do you think? --EarthFurst 20:35, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
