'''IRC''' (Internet Relay Chat) is the forebearer to modern chat and instant messenger services, created by [[wikipedia:Jarkko Oikarinen|Jarkko &amp;quot;WiZ&amp;quot; Oikarinen]] of the [[wikipedia:University of Oulu|University of Oulu]], [[:Category:Finland|Finland]] in 1988. IRC is a set of client-server protocols and software that allow users to connect to servers linked together in a network and then exchange messages with other users in chat rooms, called &amp;quot;channels&amp;quot; or with other users as private messages and exchange files through a protocol called DCC.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Connecting to an IRC network requires an IRC client, which sends and receives messages to and from an IRC server. Usually clients are either standalone programs, or web-interfaces that work straight in your browser.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== IRC and furry ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Two major furry IRC networks exist: [[Anthrochat]] and [[FurNet (IRC)|FurNet]]. [[Furtopia]] also runs [http://irc.furtopia.org/ their own IRC network].&lt;br /&gt;

'''Fursuits''', originally known as '''zoots''',&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://groups.google.com/forum/#!search/zootsex%7Csort:date/fur.artwork.erotica/IRbJYVnIBLM/-dFS2-ckdT4J ''&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;[FUR]&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;A survey about &amp;quot;ZOOs&amp;quot;''] post on [[fur.artwork.erotica]]. Dated July 13, 2014. Retrieved June 24, 2014.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Zoot&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[http://www.furrydolphin.net/2009_files/furry-history.html Lifestylers and costuming/&amp;quot;zooting&amp;quot;] on the ''[[An Informal History of Furry Fandom]]'' essay by [[Simo]]. Retrieved June 25, 2014.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; are [[animal]] based [[costume]]s associated with the [[furry fandom]]. The term, coined in 1993 by [[Robert King]],&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[Critter Costuming]], p13 - Robert King mentions inventing the term ''fursuit'' back in 1993 for the title of an amateur costumers' mailing list about the then-unnamed hobby while on the way back from a conference, in part as a pun on the word ''pursuit''{{fact}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; can also refer to animal [[mascot]] costumes in general,{{cn}} as opposed to [[human]] or [[anthropomorphic|anthropomorphized]] object mascots.{{clarify}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Owners are known as [[:Category:Fursuiters|fursuiters]], '''furzooters''', or '''suiter'''/'''zooters''', while the act of wearing a fursuit is usually referred to as '''''fursuiting''''' (originally as '''''zooting''''', named after the [[W:Chicano|Chicano]] [[W:Zoot suit|zoot suiter]]s of the [[W:Los Angeles|Los Angeles]] area of the [[W:1940|1940]]s).&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Zoot&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
Fursuiting as a permanent feature and practice within the fandom likely dates to the pre-convention era (1984-1989),{{cn}} when the first furry parties were being organized at both [[sci-fi]] conventions and home parties. By [[Confurence 0]] in 1989 (the first hotel-based [[furry convention]]), a programming track called &amp;quot;Furry Costuming&amp;quot; was held at the hotel at which it took place.{{cn}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many have commented on the change which occurred in the growing fandom when graphic artists, many of whom were native to the [[funny animal]] fandom era,{{clarify}} shared more attention with costumers,{{clarify}} resulting in the artists' booths being overshadowed by the presence of costumers at conventions and furry parties&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://groups.google.com/group/alt.fan.furry/browse_thread/thread/98297bd0b163b276/aa1b5bd5eb53f70c?lnk=gst ''When did Fursuiters take over furry fandom?''] post by [[Joe Strike]] to [[alt.fan.furry]], Nov 30 2008. Retrieved ?.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This trend continues today, with the number of fursuiters growing exponentially every year at several furry conventions, even breaking established [[Guinness]] World Records.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.worldrecordacademy.com/mass/largest_parade_of_people_in_fur_suits_Pittsburgh_breaks_Guinness_world_record_213484.html ]. Retrieved June 17, 2014.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Some conventions have included since the early 2000s the position of [[Guest of Honor|Fursuiter Guest of Honor]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.rainfurrest.org/2013/goh.php ''Rainfurrest Guest of Honor''] page on the [[Rainfurrest]] official site. Retrieved June 17, 2014.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Types ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:GR FC2007 furry cats costumers.jpg|right|thumb|Fursuits are not always furry]]&lt;br /&gt;
Fursuits range from simple [[tail]]s and [[ears]] to full costumes with mechanical/electronic components. Similar to mascot suits, they allow the wearer to adopt another animal look and/or personality while in costume. Owners can spend less than one-hundred to many thousands of dollars on one fursuit,{{cn}} depending on the complexity of the design and on the materials used. These items are frequently sold at conventions, or online by either commission or auction. Furries may make their own using online tutorials and/or advice, or have hobbyist or professional [[:category:Fursuit makers|fursuit makers or companies]] fabricate them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The standard fursuit is a full body costume that consists of a head, [[paw|forepaws]] (hands), hind paws (feet) and a body with an attached tail; in some cases, the tail is connected via a belt to the wearer and hangs out through a hole in the back of the body. Many suits include special padding or under suits to give the character its desired shape.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A ''partial suit'' or ''half-suit'' contains the above, only without the body. This allows the wearer to don ordinary clothing (or a different costume) overtop of the paws, head and tail. In partial suits, the tail is usually attached to a belt, and the arms and legs have sleeves that can go up as far as the shoulders and pelvis, respectively.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A third type known as the ''three-quarter suit'' has been developed, which consists of a head, arms and pants made to look like the legs, tail and feet of the animal in question, which works well for characters who only wear shirts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Styles ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just like artwork, fursuits can vary in style, from the [[cartoon|ultra-cartoony]] to the hyper-realistic look. Fursuiting is popular in Japan,{{cn}} with a very [[anime]]-style look.{{cn}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Reasons for fursuiting ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Wgg the Gnoll.jpg|thumb|right|Wgg the Gnoll, an example of a suit that uses a mask.]]&lt;br /&gt;
A person who wears a fursuit generally falls into one or more of six categories for wearing them:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Job ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many people wear fursuits as a [[real life]] job. This can include mascots, though not all mascots are fursuits, nor are all mascot performers furries. Many fursuiters are hired through an agency to represent a character, while others bring their own constructions to an event instead. There are also several volunteer fursuiting groups across North America that either ask or are asked to entertain at various social functions. Some groups even set up their own charitable events or perform on the streets to passersby.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Charity ===&lt;br /&gt;
Some fursuiters don their suits for non-paid charity work, such as events for social causes (animal rights) or visits to children hospitals or wards for entertainment.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://faq.fursuit.org/performance/hospitals ''Hospital/medical sites''] page on the [[Fursuit.org]] website. Retrieved June 17, 2014.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Event entertainment ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:FursuitDancersAC2006.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Fursuit dancers at [[Anthrocon 2006]] — video by [[BigBlueFox|BBF]]: &amp;lt;span class=&amp;quot;plainlinks&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[http://youtube.com/watch?v=dFKdUVsjUqY 1] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lb82sUmiCq4&amp;amp;NR 2] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aafWQJwQmZ0 3]&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; ]]&lt;br /&gt;
Other furries enjoy wearing their suits for parades, exhibitions, or [[convention]]s for simple personal fun or crowd entertainment. These fursuiters may also wear their suits to small, informal meetings among furry fans in their area. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some may get permission to perform in or outside of a shop or event, while others may simply wear a suit in a major area, such as a mall. However, some cities have [[no-mask laws]], so individuals seeking to wear their fursuit in large, public places should check first if it's allowed before performing at that location.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Role-playing ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some [[Role-player]]s create highly elaborate costumes (including fursuits) for their characters. Half-suits are usually created for role-playing games, though some role-players use full-body suits. These suits wear elaborate clothes and costumes of their own, depending on the theme of the game.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Spirituality ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some people (usually [[Wikipedia:otherkin|otherkin]],[[Wikipedia:therianthropy|therianthropes]] or [[furry lifestyler]]s) also fursuit for reasons of expressing what they feel is their inner animal self.{{cn}} Most of them try to make their suits as realistic and lifelike as possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Sexuality ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A small portion of the [[furry fandom]] considers a fursuit a [[sex]]ual item. Some suits may contain elaborately designed/recreated sexual features ([[genitalia|sexual organs]]), while some wearers have simple cut accesses on the suit. It is a perceived [[stereotype]] in and out the fandom that [[fursuit sex]] is practiced by all fursuiters.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://ro.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Fursuitsex Fursuitsex] on the [[W:Urban Dictionary|Urban Dictionary]]. Retrieved July 7, 2014.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20101218012017AA9HVB5 ''Fursuits and yiffing.

&lt;br /&gt;
== Construction and maintenance ==&lt;br /&gt;
{{main|Construction of fursuits}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Performance ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Autumnfox.jpg|thumb|right|[[Summer Vixen]] and [[Autumnwah]] at [[Further Confusion 2006]].]]&lt;br /&gt;
A key part of playing a character in suit is an engaging performance. The most expensive fursuit in the world will not help someone who does not know how to use it. Looking good is important, but not as important as ''acting''.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How the performer acts in costume reflects on how others relate to them. If the desired character is bouncy and bubbly, then acting that way is required to communicate it to spectators. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The design of the suit plays a part in some of the moves that can be done. For example, some fursuiters with floppy muzzles nod their heads up and down rapidly to simulate laughter or enjoyment. This cannot be done with suits with a rigid muzzle, or no muzzle at all.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Body language ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fursuiters typically do not speak in costume. This may be for a variety of reasons:&lt;br /&gt;
* To preserve the anonymity or conceal the gender of the performer&lt;br /&gt;
* The design of most suits muffles the voice of the performer&lt;br /&gt;
* Most animals don't talk&lt;br /&gt;
Because of this, acting in suit is mostly about body language.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When a fursuiter ''does'' speak in costume, it is often just to their [[Fursuit handler|handler]] and/or close friends. Alternately, fursuiters may only speak in some limited fashion, either with a limited vocabulary, or simply using as few words as necessary.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Increasingly, more elaborate fursuits are being built with some form of '''talk-jaw''', either physically (the fursuit's lower jaw being attached to the fursuiter's chin or pressed physically against by the fursuiter's lower jaw in some other holding fashion) or by the use of mechanical/electronic devices, which enables the fursuiter to &amp;quot;talk&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Media coverage ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fursuiters are often included in [[Timeline of media coverage|media coverage]] of the fandom, such as the [[W:CSI: Crime Scene Investigation|CSI]] episode ''[[Fur and Loathing]]''. They may also mentioned incidentally - for example, one of the [[female]] characters on the 2009 non-furry [[novel]] ''[[Wikipedia:The Year of the Flood|The Year of the Flood]]'', a 2009 novel by [[Wikipedia:Margaret Atwood|Margaret Atwood]], gets a job as a &amp;quot;Furzooter&amp;quot;, being constantly [[W:Sexual harassment|sexually harassed]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;''[[Wikipedia:The Year of the Flood|The Year of the Flood]]'' by Atwood, Margaret. Toronto, Ontario: McClelland &amp;amp; Stewart, 2009. p. 31.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;{{cleanup}}&lt;br /&gt;
A '''furry lifestyler''' is one who lives a '''[[furry]] lifestyle''', to put it simply. However, like most things in the furry community, the term ''Lifestyler'' tends to have different meanings depending on who you ask, and the context. It varies in the amount of devotion to the subculture, but usually it is exclusive to the more extreme cases.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The '''furry lifestyle''', lived by those who call themselves lifestylers involves a more pronounced expression of what the [[Furry Fandom]] means to them in real life through their actions and beliefs.  Lifestylers tend to identify more strongly than typical furries with their furry avatars, and often act out animalistic behaviors of them.  For example, a wolf furry lifestyler might go out barefoot to howl at the moon, and an otter lifestyler might spend much of the day swimming.  Often this is coupled with a strong belief in an [[animal totem]], and many lifestylers feel their avatar's spirit selected them instead of them selecting their avatar of choice. [[Fursuit]]ing and other costuming are popular with lifestylers, as are verbalizations such as &amp;quot;[[Murr]]&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;[[Meef]]&amp;quot; that express their furriness.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Furry lifestylers have a few distinct subgroups, such as the [[barepaw]]s and the old [[TLKIAWOL]]ers (A [[The Lion King|Lion King]] oriented version of [[FIAWOL]] or ''Fandom Is A Way Of Life''). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While a select few [[were]]s or [[therian]]s may also live a furry lifestyle, this is extremely rare.  In fact many tend to ignore or look down upon lifestylers and even the furry subculture as a whole.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Definitions ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The broadest, simplest and shortest definition of this word was put forth by [[Renard Foxx]] and states simply that &amp;quot;A lifestyler is any person for whom [[furry]] extends beyond a simple interest and affects their daily life.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
* To some, this term has a decidedly negative connotation and is used to refer to those within the community who flaunt and publicly display their furry tendencies in every social situation, those who are unable to distinguish between the situations which are appropriate or not for furry behaviour and those who try to impose furriness on others.&lt;br /&gt;
* To others, the definition of &amp;quot;furry as a way of life&amp;quot; is more accurate. For these furs, furriness is not something that you do, it is something that you are, an inseparable part of oneself. It may be a part of their [[spirituality]]. This is distinct from the notion of being a [[furry fans|furry fan]], who, by contrast, can choose to 'not be furry' at times.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The term is also used to describe those who choose to participate in furry activities, yet are perceived as not being truly furry (a highly subjective evaluation). This viewpoint is most often expressed by those who have been in the fandom for longer periods of time when talking about newcomers, especially those who try to rapidly immerse themselves into the fandom.{{fact}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Yiff ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This tends to remain a constant whether you are a lifestyler or not. Many Furries tend to see [[yiff]] as a sexual activity. Furry lifestylers generally tend to choose likeminded people as their mate. One who chooses being a furry as a lifestyle would most likely not have a problem choosing someone outside the fandom as their mate.&lt;br /&gt;

'''Facebook''' is a social networking website offering an interactive, user-submitted network of friends, personal profiles, blogs, groups, as well as various types of shareable media. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was launched in 2004, and membership was originally limited to Harvard students. Facebook started opening registration for students at other universities, then high school students and then employees of companies. In 2006 September, Facebook expanded registration so anyone could join&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.facebook.com/press/info.php?timeline&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; if they had a valid email address and a minimum age of 13.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In April 2008, it overtook [[Myspace]] and became the largest social networking website.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
