Please leave a message for me by posting your reply/query at the >'''BOTTOM'''< of the page. I will leave a reply for you later either here and/or on your own page talk page.

== [[File:Pawstop.png|25px]] Regarding article Personal Exclusion (article removal) from Wikifur ==

* Please consult the [[Wikifur]]'s page about "''[[WikiFur:Personal exclusion|article exclusion]]''" first.
* The request must be made by the article's user '''ONLY''', with some exceptions (next of kin, lawyer/barrister, etc...).
* The exclusion will delete the ability for others to edit it any further, plus a protection layer is added by Wikifur's [[curator]]s so is no longer searchable on such sites such as [[W:Google|Google]].
* NOTE: [[WikiFur:Personal information|Removal of personal information]] is normally not the same as exclusion, and it can be done without needing curator assistance.
* The request can be made in a myriad of ways (Email, [[Bluesky]], or [[Fur Affinity]]'s DM), but the best way is to send me a DM via BlueSky at "SpirouWikifur” (Requests via [[Twitter]] ['''X'''] is no longer possible as the account is no longer operational).

== Donate ==

Hello Spirou. I want to donate to this site. I plan to donate monthly or whenever I have the money. Because you've made me so happy. I want to donate too. Where can I donate? I am [[User:Kalendar|Kalendar]]

:Administrator/curator [[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]] should be the person to talk to about this. Hope this helps. - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] ([[User talk:Spirou|talk]]) 22:35, 21 November 2025 (EST)

== Error creating thumbnail ==

File:SwallowPInesOneshotCOVER.svg

{{q|Error: Unable to access jarfile /usr/local/share/java/batik/batik-rasterizer-1.16.jar}}

I'm not quite sure what this means in terms of the SVG. Is it a server-side issue? Or should I try tweaking with the settings of the file. Or for now should I just leave it with the PNG version. '''[[User:Xalsier|Xalsier]]''' [[User talk:Xalsier|talk]] 17:04, 21 November 2025 (EST)

:Tried, having the same issue as you. GreenReaper should be more savvy, and I contacted him a couple of days ago because I am having a flag issue in the convention infobox for [[Further Confusion]] (the USA and (???) flags appear at the same time in the location line). A quick missive to Green could help with the issue. - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] ([[User talk:Spirou|talk]]) 22:30, 21 November 2025 (EST)

:: Alright, I'll send a message '''[[User:Xalsier|Xalsier]]''' [[User talk:Xalsier|talk]] 22:33, 21 November 2025 (EST)

==Deleting my own private event page==

Why am i not allowed to delete my own private event page when i kep being harassed by other fur? I already have reported said person for personally attacking me and the local private information protection is looking into my case. I have further proof that the person who runs the local community page is harassing me putting my name and slandering it on her website for local furries and then deleting it when i reported it to the same agents for private protection. I have proof if you want me to mail you. - {{unsigned|Abby-fennec‎}}

:Because that is an actual (public known) [[furmeet]] event in the [[furry fandom]] (even if it is private [historical data]). If users are attacking you here, they will be banned. - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] ([[User talk:Spirou|talk]]) 01:37, 2 December 2025 (EST)

::Dark-stardragon keeps naming me here and on her Icelandfurs website, and I keep removing it from her. Also, she kept editing my personal page and the IceFurCabin page. The event has always been private until on year when a friend wanted to open it up and from there it got closed as i got Banned from the community because people dont like my rules and kept attacking me and she still keeps on naming my event as part or used to be part of her icelandfurs when Icelandfurs is just her group and it has pushed me out of the fandom as i have had my phone number and other private info leaked by her group and she yet keps harassing me online. It has gotten to the point that people show up at my apartment and call me to threaten me. Send you on Twitter or X some screenshots I also did on Bluesky - [[User:Abby-Fennec|Abby-Fennec]] ([[User talk:Abby-Fennec|talk]])

::: It is very difficult to give [[Abby-Fennec]] personal credit for their contributions to the community without mentioning them (they accused us of not giving credit). They keep pushing us towards having to post a disclaimer, since they are keeping many of the group's social accounts hostage (even the [https://www.furaffinity.net/user/icelandfurs/ furaffinity]) and posts drama to them every time they have a falling out with the community, impersonating '''IcelandFurs'''. They harass members and even their relatives outside of the group and blames us for any consequences. The constant gaslighting and drama gets tiring, almost a decade of it. Their attempts at drama is not discussed or mentioned in the group. [[User:Dark-stardragon|Dark-stardragon]] ([[User talk:Dark-stardragon|talk]]) 03:33, 2 December 2025 (EST)

::I have my private rights and you have no right to post about me. IceFurCabin was event made by me and run by me. Do i have to put a Gag order on you. Also i made my own group named IcelandFurz and i have not talked to any members other than friends. I have left the fandom now of my own will, and you are not getting the accounts, as it has personal DMs between other people and me. You can claim user names belonging to others!. - [[User:Abby-Fennec|Abby-Fennec]] ([[User talk:Abby-Fennec|talk]])

'''Kooshmeister''' (real name '''Bill Hiers'''. Born in [[W:Augusta, Georgia|Augusta, Georgia]], USA) is a [[furry artist]].

== Fandom involvement ==

Kooshmeister got involved in the [[furry fandom]] sometime in 1997-1998. His handle began as a joke screenname on [[IRC|mIRC]] during his time in a ''[[SWAT Kats]]'' [[RPG]], and stuck because up until that point all of Bill's screen names (whether on [[W:AOL|AOL]] or elsewhere) tended to be the names of cartoon characters rather than any original nickname he thought up. [[Furry]] is not his primary preoccupation, and all things considered, he takes only a casual interest in the fandom itself.

'''Kooshmeister''' (real name '''Bill Hiers''') is a [[furry artist]] who was born in [[W:Augusta, Georgia|Augusta, Georgia]], USA.

== Fandom involvement ==

Kooshmeister got involved in the [[furry fandom]] sometime in 1997-1998. His began as a joke screenname on [[IRC|mIRC]] during his time in a ''[[SWAT Kats]]'' [[RPG]], and stuck because up until that point all of Bill's screen names (whether on [[W:AOL|AOL]] or elsewhere) tended to be the names of cartoon characters rather than any original nickname he thought up. [[Furry]] is not his primary preoccupation, and all things considered, he takes only a casual interest in the fandom itself.

=== Furry media ===

He enjoys drawing extremely [[Toon|toony]] furry [[character]]s, particularly of the [[Disney]] and [[Hanna-Barbera]] style, which he posts to [[Fur Affinity]] and [[deviantArt]]. His favorite animals, admittedly to the point of an almost ridiculous obsession, are [[rabbit]]s and [[Squirrel_(species)|squirrel]]s. Unsurprisingly, his [[fursona]] is a squirrel. Despite this, he tends to consider himself many other things first,{{clarify}} and a furry second.

By his own admission, there is not that much more to know about Kooshmeister/Bill at least insofar as the furry fandom is concerned, beyond the usual list of fetishes and harmless but (in his opinion) embarrassing perversions.
He always uses outlines in his drawings, and never shades his work.{{clarify}}

He tends to wrongly color the mouths of his favorite characters, making them black with a red tongue instead of dark red with a pink tongue. He is also an openly [[gay]] man{{cn}} who draws [[yaoi]] pairings for his favorite characters.

However as the years went on he has displayed toxicity towards former friends in the fandom. Whenever he gets blocked, he gets angry and spiteful to the point where he tries to get other contacts to try and get those to block him to change their minds and apologise to him. Very likely he would be the cause of former friends blocking him. In December 2025, he has voluntarily disabled his Furaffinity account after having a major breakdown online.

Hiers has also exhibited stalker like behaviour in attempts to try and get people to forgive him and if they do not, he tries to use emotional blackmail to get them to become his friends again, despite the fact he was likely the issue that ended friendships to begin with, as he cannot understand other people's feelings all too well, as he is on the Autism Spectrum, which would explain his obsessive behaviour and his inability to let go of old grudges of people who may have actually wronged him or those he thinks wronged him in any way.
