A bit that I'm not sure is appropriate for the article, but posting here in case someone thinks it should go in article. Season 5, episode 1, when talking about "[[w:soft power|soft power]]" (starting at 16minutes into episode) when John says soft power sounds like name for an Erectile dysfunction medication for [[Chinchilla]]s (with image of a Chinchilla in a bed with a glass of wine and maybe lipstick. (so anthro or semi-anthro) --[[User:EarthFurst|EarthFurst]] ([[User talk:EarthFurst|talk]]) 23:20, 1 November 2019 (EDT)

== first 4 seasons ==

The reason I started the Episodes section with season 5 is that was the earliest season still available to me via HBO on demand (at a friend's home). I may have written notes about furry-interest content in some episodes from earlier seasons, but I can't find those notes. --[[User:EarthFurst|EarthFurst]] ([[User talk:EarthFurst|talk]]) 14:38, 15 April 2020 (EDT)

== CBD gummies effect been a game-changer on the side of me! ==

I've been really impressed with CBD gummies and like https://www.cornbreadhemp.com/collections/cbd-cream . They're not at worst appetizing but also incredibly nearby for getting a commonplace dose of CBD. I fellow-feeling a amour how tactful they are, making them perfect towards when I'm on the go. I've personally noticed they steal me rest and have a zizz well-advised, especially after a stressful day. The steadfast dosage in each gummy also takes the guesswork minus of managing how much CBD I'm consuming. If you're philosophical of trying CBD, gummies are a consequential way out—legitimate be positive to buy off from a trusted label for the upper crust results!

I'm thinking maybe the link to FurryStuff.com should be deleted. Not because there's anything wrong with the idea, but because there's just not much there. IN particular, the "What do we Do" and "Stuff to See and Hear" links lead to pages that are completely blank except for a nice shaded background.

If this were Wikipedia, I'd just delete the link on my own because it's not very useful. THe rules may be somewhat looser here on wikifur, so I'm just putting this here on the discussion page.

--Barry Gold

:I would disagree. First off, there are pages with content on the site, even a (half-assed) online store. Second, sometimes what is '''not''' present speaks just as loudly as what is; I don't know any of the people involved, but it apppears that this was an abortive attempt at a bigger-scale project that ultimately never took off. The fact that the half-finished project is still accessible on the web can lead a reader to draw conclusions about the effort and/or the people involved, for good or for ill. On that basis, I think that justifies leaving the link in place.----[[User:DuncanDaHusky|DuncanDaHusky]]([[User talk:DuncanDaHusky|talk]]) 19:33, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

== Usenet thread about Mark Merlino's influence on fandom ==

Excuse the long URL, but I wandered across a thread from 2003 about Mark Merlino.
http://groups.google.ca/group/alt.fan.furry/browse_frm/thread/f7ef5797f092a37e/d1a4b4461ba1c6dd?tvc=1&q=shaterri&hl=en#d1a4b4461ba1c6dd
There might be some quotations of use, perhaps even something worth citing, tucked in there. -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 23:28, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

== CrushYiffDestroy article about Merlino ==

Because there is a stigma about CYD, I don't know if I should add this link to the article. I would like to know how much of the CYD article is true.

http://www.crushyiffdestroy.com/show/merlino

:One reason CYD has a "stigma" is that it is hard to tell whether or not their information is at all reliable. Even where they do give some references, they pad out the actual facts with conjecture, opinion and rumour, because that is what will attract attention.
:Mark has [[ConFurence#Controversy|stated]] that the rumour about free memberships is not true (although to be fair ''we'' could do with a reference there). There is a [http://groups.google.com/group/alt.fan.furry/browse_thread/thread/184eeb854f52c62e/0d3fe54694d8be0c?lnk=st&q=darrel+exline+elevator#0d3fe54694d8be0c denial elsewhere] from [[Darrel Exline]] regarding the elevator incident. One of the items of research that was neglected was looking up the advertisement for CF8 in a "gay-themed magazine", information about which is [http://groups.google.ca/group/alt.fan.furry/msg/da16fea09d5fe27c?hl=en& here] and [http://groups.google.com/group/alt.fan.furry/msg/334c51f0e4e9bbbd here]. It's remarkably less interesting than you might think.
:As for the rest, on the whole the facts do not seem particularly contentious:
:*Mark is considered among the founders of furry fandom, and took deliberate actions aimed towards increasing its size; it would ''probably'' have grown without his help, but perhaps not as fast,
:*Mark was a co-founder of the [[Cartoon/Fantasy Organization]]
:*Mark is gay and in a long-term relationship with [[Rod O'Reily]]
:*Mark played some part in obtaining some artwork later used within [[Other Suns]]
:*Mark created [[Skiltaire]]
:*Mark and Rod have a house called [[The Prancing Skiltaire]]
:*Mark has used MUCKs, possibly even for [[TinySex]] (unlike the ''vast'' majority of the fandom, which use them for non-sexual [[My Little Pony]] roleplaying)
:*Mark and Rod ran furry parties and subsequently were the heads of [[ConFurence]] for nine years, decided to give it up amid controversy over its management, yet still continued to help fund it to some unspecified level until it folded
:Naturally, since CYD has a negative view of the fandom, [[Computolio]]'s conjectures for Mark's motives regarding all of the above are also negative. Frankly, I don't think he has any authority on the subject. He makes no claims to have been in the fandom at the time; his cited sources are "many furries (especially the disgruntled ones)". --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 23:49, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

== Twitter embed ==

[https://support.proboards.com/thread/666910/embedded-tweets-visible-safari-browser Not being able to see embedded tweets is a (older) Mac OSX issue], but it may also be due to various forms of tracking protection (although in this case "do not track" is set).

The issue is we can't just keep these photos on WikiFur indefinitely without proper authorship or licensing. Perhaps it would be worth reaching out on Twitter to the posters to request both? --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 20:58, 26 February 2024 (EST)
:Already on it (me via msg, [[artist]] [[Steve Martin]] via phone/direct contact). But FYI, Rod has already informed Steve that he will be extremely busy to address this (and probably my DM) because of funerary concerns regarding Merlino. Just the latest. If it takes too long, I can remove and reupload ata later date. - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] ([[User talk:Spirou|talk]]) 21:52, 26 February 2024 (EST)

== CBD gummies would less been a game-changer recompense me! ==

I've been really impressed with CBD gummies and like https://www.cornbreadhemp.com/collections/full-spectrum-cbd-oil . They're not no greater than appetizing but also incredibly available for getting a everyday measure of CBD. I love how discreet they are, making them accurate on when I'm on the go. I've ourselves noticed they assistants me stay calm and saw wood mastery, specially after a stressful day. The steadfast dosage in each gummy also takes the guesswork out of pocket of managing how much CBD I'm consuming. If you're thinking of maddening CBD, gummies are a large way out—legitimate be foolproof to buy from a trusted brand looking for the subdue results!
