Oneandonly also known as Aldude999 on some sites is an anthro artist, digital artist, photographer, and musician. While Oneandonly has only participated in a small community so far, he has only been an active furry since July 2010.

== Fursona ==
Oneandonly is currently working on a new OC.
== Personality ==
While Oneandonly generally has a kind personality, he has a tendency to go off on trolls, "haters", and those who don't always follow the rules, (rendering him a hypocrite.)

==Website==
Oneandonly's site is [http://aldude999.tk/ aldude999.tk] where most programming projects can be found worked on by him.

'''Fur Affinity''', also known as '''FA''', is the [[furry fandom]]'s largest online community, focusing on the promotion of art, music and stories.

The site was created in 2005 by [[Alkora]] as an alternative to various art community sites such as [[SheezyArt]] and [[deviantART]], distinguished by allowing artistic freedom of expression regardless of content rating. It is led by [[The Dragoneer]].

== History ==
{{main|History of Fur Affinity}}
Fur Affinity was launched on 16 January 2005 as an alternative to [[SheezyArt]], with the forum going live on that date and the main site being transferred a few days later from [[FurPawz]]. Since then, it has suffered a few outages, most notably a month-long downtime over July 2008, but always managed to recover. In 2011, Fur Affinity annouced it would be coming out with a new major version in connection to FA: United 4.<ref>''[http://forums.furaffinity.net/threads/89577-Fur-Affinity-Turns-6! Fur Affinity Turns 6!] - Dragoneer, Fur Affinity forum post (16 January 2011)</ref>

=== Fur Affinity: United! ===
{{main|FA: United}}
In August 2007, Fur Affinity held its own [[furry convention]], Fur Affinity: United! (or FA:U) in [[Wikipedia:Newark, New Jersey|Newark, New Jersey]]. The convention was a success, drawing 310 attendees and 25 [[fursuiter]]s in the [[fursuit parade|parade]], and was followed by another in 2008, drawing 381 attendees. In February 2009, Dragoneer announced FA: United 3 "Games United" for 28-30 May 2010.<ref>''[http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/621616/ FAU3 Announcement]'' - Dragoneer, Fur Affinity journal (9 February 2009)</ref> No event was scheduled for 2009 due to the economic downturn.

== Features and rules ==
Fur Affinity's features for users include the ability to allow users to track new updates from particular [[artist]]s; highlight favorites; and upload a wide variety of art (images, music and stories). The site attempts to promote community through its comments system and individual journals.

While works of all ratings are accepted (other than ''photographic nudes and images whose intent are to slander or discredit others''<ref>[http://www.furaffinity.net/faq/ Fur Affinity FAQ]</ref>), art rated as mature or adult is not shown to visitors, or to users who have not specified it as a preference (which requires giving a date of birth indicating an age over 18). Keywords and tags can be added to works, though a feature that allowed blocking based on tags was disabled due to performance issues.

Fur Affinity's search engine was "temporarily disabled" in mid-2006 due to it taking up too many resources.<ref>''[http://forums.furaffinity.net/showthread.php?t=1334 Admin mode on june 5th 2006]'' - Alkora, Fur Affinity forums (5 June 2006)</ref> A faux search feature was implemented for April Fool's Day 2007, much to the chagrin of some users.<ref>''[http://forums.furaffinity.net/showthread.php?t=7229 Search is up!]'' - Fur Affinity Forums (1 April 2007)</ref> Search was reimplemented on 5 February 2009; it was initially labelled "That Thing You Want" and randomly included [[wikipedia:Rickrolling|rickrolls]].<ref>''[http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/616339/ SEARCH]'' - Dragoneer, Fur Affinity journal (5 February 2009)</ref>

==Project Ferrox==
{{main|Ferrox (software)}}
The FA development team was working on a new backend system called [[Ferrox_(software)|Ferrox]] which was to be used for the next major revision of Fur Affinity, and was to be made available as [[Wikipedia:FOSS|FOSS]] (Free and Open Source Software) for other sites to use. As of late 2009, development of Ferrox has stalled, with the last change to the code being made on September 7, 2009. FurAffinity has since then decided to upgrade the UI of the existing code instead.

== Mascots ==
[[Fender]] is the Fur Affinity [[mascot]]. He was primarily created by artist [[K-9]], based upon a character concept by [[Preyfar]]. He is half [[fox]] and half [[ferret]], commonly referring to himself as a 'ferrox'.

On April Fool's Day 2007, Fender was depicted in the site's banner as a busty female dragon, still wearing the trademark blue tie. This dragon was made a separate character from Fender and an official mascot of the site in May 2007, and named [[Rednef]], or "Fender" spelled backwards.

Fender was displayed as a three-toed [[sloth]] for April Fools' Day 2008. So far this sloth form has yet to become an official character.

Oneandonly also known as Aldude999 on some sites is an anthro artist, digital artist, photographer, and musician. While Oneandonly has only participated in a small community so far, he has only been an active furry since July 2010.

== Fursona ==
Oneandonly's fursona is a male canine husky/saluki who is light and dark gray. While he has no name, he is commonly referred to as "Grey Dawg" After the mascot of [[w:Southern Illinois University|Southern Illinois University]]. While one reference sheet has been made, many busts of the character have also been made. It may also be noted that there is no color scheme and every picture has slightly different colors. He is generally descibed as playful and devious at times.

== Personality ==
While Oneandonly generally has a kind personality, he has a tendency to go off on trolls, "haters", and those who don't always follow the rules, (rendering him a hypocrite.)

==Website==
Oneandonly is currently hosting free websites. His current site and info about this can be found at [http://aldude999.tk/ aldude999.tk]. Aldude999.tk is currently in reconstruction due to server failure. A new server is now in place with a minecraft server, 2 wikis, 1 forum, a proxy, and an image hosting service, and in construction, a torrent tracker, and it has been leaked about a DNS nameserver.

He is apparently the owner of a site called freedoomwads that is hosted by Ucoz. According to him, "the point of this site is to give people a place to hang out, chat, and share wads with the community." While the site is still up, and updates are made, the site has been somewhat of a failure due to the lack of registered users, and "hit and leave" users, those who join the site to view, or see, then never log in again. The site [http://freedoomwads.ucoz.com freedoomwads.ucoz.com] Is now also apparently owned by him, He states "This site was created for the idiots who can't remember my site['s name]."
