'''''Plushies and Furries''''' is a short documentary film by [[Rick Castro]] produced in 2001, which aired as an episode of '''''Sex2K'''''/[[Wikipedia:True Life|True Life]] on [[Wikipedia:MTV|MTV]] in January 2002, and on Channel 5 UK. It "has screened at the American Cinemathéque, Outfest Los Angeles, Frameline San Francisco, the MIX Festival--NYC, the Milan Film Festival, the Montreal Gay Film Festival, the Seattle Gay Film Festival, and the Mardi Gras Film Festival in Sydney".<ref>[http://rickcastro.com/plushies.html Plushies and Furries] on RickCastro.com. Retrieved October 27, 2007.</ref> ''Plushies and Furries'' was in the 2001 the Montreal International Queer Film and Video Festival; an article in ''The Gazette'' mentions it as "Rick Castro's doc about people who love the static of rubbing against other people in adorable fuzzy animal costumes."<ref>Griffin, John. "Beyond closet door: Gay film fest comes in from the fringe" in ''The Gazette''. September 20, 2001. p. D.10. Retrieved October 27, 2007 through ProQuest online database Canadian Newsstand.</ref>

''Plushies and Furries'' mainly followed a furry named [[Mike Yote]] through [[Midwest Furfest]], and his relationship with his mother. Topics included fursuit sex and furry sexual jargon. Overall the episode was a sex-based portrayal of the furry subculture that some argue is unfavorable, following quickly on the heels of ''[[Vanity Fair]]'''s article earlier in the year.

== Controversy ==
{{dubious}}
According to Yote, [http://www.pressedfur.com/comments/anonymous-sex2k.html the entire thing was faked] and his mother already knew about his interest in fursuiting and furry fandom. The scenes were shot a couple years before the ''Vanity Fair'' article came out. "It was all faked and made up by pyewacket [Rick Castro] so that he could have drama and a story," Yote wrote on a fursuit mailing list in 2002.

According to Rick Castro,{{fact}} Yote was well aware of where the interview was going as was his mother. Reportedly, they had to sign releases beforehand and therefore would have known the outcome{{fact}}. There was nothing made up about the questions and answers. The only thing that was created was the time of events. This was done to facilitate organizing a shooting schedule.

Many of furs that participated in the side interviews were told their interviews would be used for a much different type of show, and the artists were similarly lied to by [[Rick Castro]], the producer. For example, [[Michael Higgs]] was told his art was going to be used in a special about up-and-coming comic artists.

Rick Castro attended several furry conventions in the two or three years prior to the first airing of this episode, and professed to be "a furry working on a personal project." In fact, Rick Castro is a professional filmmaker, producer of documentaries involving the porn industry, and a professional fetish photographer as evidenced by his adults-only website at [http://rickcastro.com RickCastro.com].

=== Trademark issue ===

In the episode ''Plushies and Furries,'' a title screen between scenes was added to Rick Castro's original footage that said, "Yote attends his first confurence." This used the registered service mark "[[ConFurence]]" in the context of a generic term for a furry-themed convention (in this case, referring to ''Midwest Fur Fest''), and was '''not''' referring to the convention hosted annually by [[The ConFurence Group]] for which the service mark was registered. [[Darrel Exline]], owner of ''The ConFurence Group'' traded multiple letters with [[wikipedia:MTV Networks|MTV Networks]]' legal department over their improper use of the registered service mark but was unable to resolve the issue without starting expensive litigation.{{fact}}

== Quotes ==
'''Text appearing on the screen:''' In the 80's a subculture was born. ... There are plushophiles, people who get turned on by stuffed animals. There are fursuiters, people who get turned on by dressing as big stuffed animals. There are confurences, events where thousands of plushies and furries come together anonymously.
----
'''"Ken":''' Part of the furry [fandom] I really think is sexual attraction. And anyone who says that furry is not a sexual-based fandom is really kind of fooling themselves.
----
'''Yote:''' He's got a lot of fursuits, so we had a lot of fun trying them on. And while I was in it, my friend got a little bit yiffy, and got a little bit up, and I got aroused, but didn't climax or anything. He did though, I'm sure, because he was a little more boisterous in his movements against me.
----
'''[[Giza]]:''' Like a lot of furries actually, I kind of grew up thinking I was straight.
----
'''[[TygerCowboy]]:''' For many of us, our sexuality defines who we are.

'''deviantART''' is one of the largest online [[art]] galleries and discussion sites, with over 19 million registered members as of August, 2012.<ref>[http://about.deviantart.com/ About deviantART page]. Retrieved August 6, 2012</ref> Many professional "[[furry artist|anthro artists]]" submit their work there, as well as amateurs.

deviantART does not allow [[pornography|pornographic]] and sexually explicit or obscene material to be submitted; however, "tasteful" nudity is allowed, even as photographs.

== deviantART and furry ==

As of August 2006, deviantART has a top-level [[anthro]] category, potentially exposing a greater proportion of the deviantART audience to anthropomorphic art.

Various "clubs" have been formed to connect the furry community on deviantART, similar to communities on [[LiveJournal]]. A handful of anthro-oriented chat rooms have also formed since August 2004.

Despite a big presence on deviantART, however, the growth of anthro and furry users (and their influence) is mediocre.{{fact}} However it should be noted the administrators are impartial towards furries,{{fact}} also the user agreement form disallows [[troll]]ing and is strictly enforced, this has inadvertently benefited the furry community on deviantART greatly.{{fact}}

In August 2011, deviantART's staff initiated a discussion called [http://hq.deviantart.com/journal/When-Being-Human-Just-Isn-t-Enough-255206002 When being human just isn't enough], about anthropomorphic art and the viewer's connection to it. There were over 2000 replies.

The Yiffy Guide to Safer Sex

2012-12-28T05:51:06Z

24.77.166.82: Added note about the parody pamphlet - Should I scan it and upload it to the wiki?

[[File:TheYiffyguide.png|right|200px]]
'''The Yiffy Guide to Safer Sex''' is a [[wikipedia:PDF|PDF]] file which explains [[wikipedia:safe sex|safe sex]] to [[male]], [[female]] and [[transgender]] [[Furry|furries]], and contains sexually explicit art. It is free for distribution online or in print format, ''e.g.'' as a pamphlet at a [[convention]].

== History ==

The guide was written in 1996 by A M-M ([[Andrew Murphy-Mee]]). and contains artwork by [[Charles Davies]], [[Brian Harp]], [[Lance Rund]], [[Ken Sample]], [[Sean Thomas]], [[Sean Wilkinson]], and [[Wookiee]].

The guide may not be considered to be entirely accurate and a few facts need to be updated:
* [[Wikipedia:Nonoxynol-9|Nonoxynol-9]] does NOT reduce the risk of HIV transmission.
* You should never flush condoms down the toilet to avoid risk of contact with seminal fluid and to avoid the risk of clogged pipes.
* Medical gloves should be worn during mutual masturbation to prevent viruses and bacteria from getting in through cuts on the hands or broken skin.

A parody pamphlet was also created, entitled "Roadkill's guide to Sex at the con!"

'''UnFurled''' is a furry podcast based in Alberta, hosted by [[Tal]] (formerly Talon), [[Lord Vox]] and [[Roland]], with occasional guests.

The show originated in March 2010, but over the course of 2011, episodes appeared less and less frequently due to the hosts' busy schedules, and then went on hiatus. As of March 2012, new episodes have started to appear again.

== Structure ==
Episodes starting in the 2012 season last between 60-90 minutes. The opening segment discusses interesting news items, not necessarily fandom-related. The rest of the show is mostly devoted to replying to listener mail, often beginning with a guest segment hosted by [[Voice]]. While the show is being recorded, there is also interaction with listeners who are logged into a live video chat session.

'''Flain''' (previously '''Flain Falcon''') was born in [[Wikipedia:Bessemer, Alabama|Bessemer, Alabama]], U.S.A. on December 31, 1982. He was one of the founding members of [[Furry Weekend Atlanta]] as the director of programming until 2007.

He has performed improv and stand-up comedy routines at various furry [[convention]]s, most notably [[Furry Weekend Atlanta|FWA]] and [[Rocket City FurMeet]]. He also became involved with [[Podcast|podcasting]], first as one of the four hosts of [[Clawcast]] from 2007-2008, then from 2009-2010 he spun off with his own project called [[Anthropodcast]] (or Anthropod) for discussing the fandom, news, and conducting the occasional interview; but his enthusiasm waned and the episodes stopped during a difficult (but temporary) period of unemployment.

As of 2011, Flain became a fan of [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic]] and has been one of the co-hosts of the [http://bronyshow.com/ Bronyville podcast], under the name '''Apple Cider'''.

In 2004 the SNC Furs held the first annual picnic which was the start of evolving the group to something bigger. It was their first event with over 50 people in attendance and the groundwork for MNFurs as it is today. The official transition over to the MNFurs namesake was made in 2006.

In March of 2010, MNFurs sponsored the first winter hotel event which became the basis for the [[Snowpocalypse]] annual winter event. In August 2012, they are planning to hold a convention called [[Cat days|Cat Days]].

| ratings =

'''Fuzzy Logic''' is a podcast based in Dallas, Texas, hosted by [[Istanbul]], [[Halfwit Genius]], [[Kyo Foxtrot]] and (occasionally) [[Smokescale]], who are also involved with running [[Furry Fiesta]]. New episodes appear every 1 to 2 weeks (with occasional gaps) and are about an hour in length.

The theme is similar to [[KnotCast]], giving advice to people having relationship problems (or about how to deal with life or people in general), including adult topics. While parts of the show involve banter and joking around, the tone is less frenetic and slightly more serious than KnotCast, and focuses almost exclusively on answering e-mails, to try and provide answers to the listeners' real problems.

At the end of most shows, listeners are invited to send in e-mails about a specific topic for the next program, but can in fact write to the show to ask for help about whatever they like.

The Purple Nurple

2011-10-29T18:05:47Z

24.77.166.82: Added con dance events

{{time}}
{{DEFAULTSORT:Purple Nurple, The}}
'''The Purple Nurple''' is a location on [[FurryMUCK]]. It is a gay/lesbian/bisexual nightclub and meeting place, although straight people are welcome as well. Created by [[Slinky]] and [[Cargo]], and operated by [[Cargo]] and later [[Rigel]] for several years. After an extended series of controversies and headaches in 1999-2000, it was operated by [[Bohor]] until January 2006. It is currently owned by [[Rigel]] again.

Upstairs from the nightclub are the Nurple Apartments, a popular form of accommodation for those who can stand the heavy dance music that thumps up from below. Beneath the nightclub are the cellars, the topic of several rumors - these are owned by [[Cargo]] but are now basically unmaintained.

On FurryMUCK, it can be reached with the command ''t tpn''.

The Purple Nurple was also the name and theme for several main dance events held at [[ConFurence]], [[Anthrocon]] and [[Further Confusion]] from 1997 to 2000.

When in accord, announce: '''Consensus has been reached'''.

==Stumbling to agreement...==
So.

Any suggestions? :D
[[User:Pyat|Pyat the Mouse]] 20:53, 9 October 2011 (EDT)

I suggest making this section extremely brief and placing in only agreed upon, undeniable facts, with a statement like - "Disagreement exists over the role played by [[Dan Skunk]] in the foundation of the convention. For more information, refer to the section below."

That's the only suggestion I'm going to make on this. I spoke to Dan Skunk about his feelings on the matter and have not been impressed with his interpretation of events or his admission that he would remove and/or favorably change criticism if Furnal would take him back on the convention committee.
[[User:Pyat|Pyat the Mouse]] 10:36, 10 October 2011 (EDT)

:You can't change criticism, you can only change your mind. [[User:Equivamp|Equivamp]]<sup>[[User talk:Equivamp|talk]]</sup> 11:18, 10 October 2011 (EDT)

::And socks, surely?
::[[User:Pyat|Pyat the Mouse]] 12:30, 10 October 2011 (EDT)

:I'm wondering if "History" should even be used as the title of this section. In an effort to stop the editing war, I made that huge expansion to Origins and Controversy, backing up what both sides had said using as many references as possible in an attempt to sort it out. There was a light snarkiness to it I must admit, and I expected cleanup to happen. To my amazement both Scani and Dan Skunk seemed pretty good with it, added things, cleaned up the wording - and I hoped that would be good enough. But then Dan for some reason edited the History section with his claims of making the hotel arrangements, which belong in the controversy section. In fact most of the con's history before it finally happened is mired in he-said-she-said arguments. The top section should really have very basic, quick-reading information, and leave the heavier, controvertial stuff for the later sections. So maybe "History" is the wrong title to use, or shift it to something like "Non-controvertial history (2010-)", which would look terrible from an aesthetic standpoint, but would at least clearly identify what belongs in that section.[[Special:Contributions/24.77.166.82|24.77.166.82]] 14:19, 10 October 2011 (EDT)

::If it is the history that is agreed upon, then it seems to me that is the only part of the history that should be ''called'' the history, at least officially. Of course, I think this should be at [[Furnal Equinox/History]] or [[History of Furnal Equinox]] (the latter is more in line with WikiFur standard). [[User:Equivamp|Equivamp]]<sup>[[User talk:Equivamp|talk]]</sup> 14:44, 10 October 2011 (EDT)

:::But if I'm understanding Dan's point of view correctly, what we consider controvertial (the origins of the hotel arrangement), for him, is historical fact. At least that's the only rational explanation I have for why he put it into the history section. Dan, if you're reading this, it would be helpful to understand why you were motivated to do that.[[Special:Contributions/24.77.166.82|24.77.166.82]] 14:50, 10 October 2011 (EDT)

24.77.166.82: minor edit

[[File:Pyat_fanboy.jpg|right|300px]]
'''Pyat''' (born 1974) has been quietly active in the [[furry fandom]] since 1997. He is a particular fan of the [[Rabbits in Waistcoats]] genre of anthropomorphic fiction, a subset of furry he sometimes refers to as '''Civilized Critters'''. He is Canadian and enjoys cheese. Pyat works as a [[W:Journalist|newspaper reporter]].

==Fandom involvement==

As a professional journalist, Pyat has written about the fandom for print magazines, as well as web [[zine]]s (e.g. ''[[Furry Thinking]]''). His first article about fandom was a review of [[Furcadia]] printed in a 1997 issue of the defunct Toronto-based SF/fantasy magazine, [[Realms]]. That same year, Pyat also wrote a profile of [[Steve Gallacci]] for Realms.

=== Ironclaw ===

In 1999, Pyat contributed to the first edition of the [[Ironclaw]] role-playing game, and went on to write a number of supplements for the game. He is the co-author (with [[Rafferty]]) of the ''[[Albedo: Platinum Catalyst]]'' and ''[[Usagi Yojimbo]]'' role-playing games. He has also written material for [[Wikipedia:Dungeons & Dragons|Dungeons & Dragons]] supplements published by [http://www.3amgames.com/ 3AM Games].

=== Furry chronicler ===

Pyat likes to consider himself something of a fandom [[history|historian]], at least when it comes to [[W:Tabletop role-playing game|tabletop RPGs]], furrydom, and [[science fiction]]. He has written a number of articles about these subjects, and undertaken road trips to places significant in fandom history.

On the basis of some of this work, he appeared as a representative of fandom on an episode of the Canadian documentary series [[Fanboy Confessional]] in July, 2011.

=== Conventions ===

Pyat has been an author guest and panelist at a number of [[convention]]s, including:

*[[Wikipedia:Anime North|Anime North]] (guest in 2008, 2009, 2010)
*[[CACE]] (panelist in 2002)
*[[Wikipedia:Fan Expo Canada|Fan Expo]] (guest in 2005, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011)
*[[Furnal Equinox]] (panelist in 2010, 2011)
*[http://www.hammercon.ca Hammercon] (guest in 2009, 2010)
*[[Midwest FurFest]] (panelist in 2003)
*[http://phantasm.pfga.ca/index.html Phantasm] (guest in 2006, 2009)

'''Flayrah''' is a [[furry]] news and features portal. Its stories are syndicated to [[Furry 4 Life]], [[FurNation]], [[Furry News Network]] and [[Wikipedia:Google News|Google News]].

Flayrah was founded in January 2001 by [[Aureth]], who remained webmaster until mid-2006, handing the site over to [[Frysco]]. In 2010, Flayrah was relaunched by [[GreenReaper]].<ref>''[http://www.flayrah.com/2857/flayrah-relaunches-new-software-editor-chief Flayrah relaunches with new software, editor-in-chief]'' - [[GreenReaper]], Flayrah (11 January 2010)</ref>

Its name originates from the [[Lapine (language)|Lapine language]] used in the book ''[[Watership Down]]'', meaning an unusually good food, such as lettuce.

==Content==
[[File:FlayrahFrontPage.png|right|thumb|[[WikiFur:WikiFur News|WikiFur News]] content on Flayrah]]
Flayrah was influenced by [[Wikipedia:Slashdot|Slashdot]] and intended to provide a "more topical, less flammable, and more enjoyable" alternative to [[alt.fan.furry]], covering "fandom and convention news, product announcements and reviews, interesting websites, and other related tidbits." Stories after the 2010 revamp focused on original reporting and slightly longer pieces, with the addition of regular reviews in 2011.

Over 100 articles<ref>[http://www.flayrah.com/category/tags/wikifur-news ''WikiFur News'' articles on Flayrah]</ref> dating from 2007-2009 were originally published on [[WikiFur]], and are used [[WikiFur:Copyrights|under license]], while more than 130 pieces<ref>[http://www.flayrah.com/category/tags/furtean-times ''Furtean Times'' work on Flayrah]</ref> were brought in from the ''[[FurteanTimes.com|Furtean Times]]'' upon its closure in November 2010.<ref>''[http://www.flayrah.com/3191/furtean-times-closes-content-brought-flayrah The Furtean Times closes; content brought to Flayrah]'' - [[GreenReaper]], Flayrah (12 November 2010)</ref>

==History==
[[File:FlayrahClassic.png|right|thumb|Flayrah pre-2010]]
Flayrah was originally spun off from an older news site hosted by [[Cornwuff Press]]. Staff members posted 1,992 news items in the first four years, starting with a story about [[World Tree RPG]].<ref>''[http://flayrah.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=2046 2005 State of the Website]'' - [[Aureth]], Flayrah (10 January 2005)</ref> The site was also meant to include similar material to the e-zine ''[[Fuzzy Logic (e-zine)|Fuzzy Logic]]'', but this never really materialized in significant amounts. However, some content did attract a significant amount of debate, especially in early years.

Flayrah became a regular stop for many furry fans, despite sometimes irregular updates, but went offline at the end of June 2006 due to hosting issues, together with declining interest and a lack of time on the part of the webmaster. It returned in mid-August after Frysco expressed an interest in taking over operation of the site. However, there was little activity, partly because the site had to be locked-down to registered users due to a lack of anti-spam software features.

On 28 November 2009, Frysco announced that Flayrah would be closing for the second and perhaps the final time.<ref>''[http://flayrah.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=2503 Flayrah Closing]'' - [[Frysco]], Flayrah (28 November 2009)</ref> GreenReaper decided that the site had too much historical content and promise to lose, and took over the site, rewriting it using [[Wikipedia:Drupal|Drupal]] and merging existing stories with free content from [[WikiFur:WikiFur News|WikiFur News]] for a relaunch in January 2010. While owned by GreenReaper and used as the primary news source of WikiFur as of January 2010, it is run as a separate and independent project.

'''Furnal Equinox''' (sometimes abbreviated as '''FE''') is a [[furry convention]] held during the month of March in [[Wikipedia:Toronto|Toronto]], [[Wikipedia:Ontario|Ontario]], [[Wikipedia:Canada|Canada]]. Announced in 2009 and holding its first edition in 2010, it is Canada's largest furry convention by attendance.

== History ==

Although south-western Ontario is home to many furries, Toronto had never hosted a large, hotel-based furry event prior to 2010. (As opposed to [[Feral!|Feral]], a summer camp-based convention, several hours away by car.) Furnal Equinox was therefore promoted as the city's first furry convention, and was formally announced on July 1 (Canada Day), 2009.<ref>[http://www.furry.ca/forum/index.php/topic,1657.0.html Furnal Equinox: coming to Toronto in March 2010!], posted by [[Scani]] on July 1, 2009, 12:30:14 a.m. Viewed on Aug. 10, 2010.</ref> Its name was conceived by [[ShiroTora]], playing upon the convention's date in March, close to the beginning of spring, the vernal equinox.

== Conventions ==

*'''[[Furnal Equinox 2010]]''' took place on March 6-7, 2010 at the Doubletree by Hilton - Toronto Airport hotel, attracting 330 attendees. The Guests of Honour were [[Heather Bruton]] and [[BushyCat]], and the convention celebrated the theme of "Furry Fun and Games".
*'''[[Furnal Equinox 2011]]''' took place on March 11-13, 2011, returning to the Doubletree by Hilton - Toronto Airport hotel, attracting 450 attendees<ref>[http://twitter.com/furnalequinox/status/47072042683609088 Tweet containing statistics], posted on the Furnal Equinox Twitter account. Viewed on Sept. 16, 2011.</ref> - currently a record for a Canadian furry event. The Guests of Honour were [[FirestormSix]] and [[ZEN]], and the convention's theme was "Wild Magic".
*'''[[Furnal Equinox 2012]]''' will take place on March 16-18, 2012, returning to the Doubletree. The Guests of Honour will be furry artists [[Dark Natasha]] and [[Marci McAdam]], and the theme of the convention will be "Infurnally Yours".

== Operations ==

Furnal Equinox is operated by '''Anthropomorphic Events of Ontario''', a [http://www.duhaime.org/LegalDictionary/N/NotForProfit.aspx corporation without share-capital (NPO)] in the Province of Ontario, founded in June 2009. [[Pakesh De]] and [[Blindsight]] have been the co-chairs since the inaugural year of the convention.

== Origins and controversy ==

The details and credit for how Furnal Equinox came to exist has been mired in an extensive WikiFur editing war<ref>See this article's revision history and discussion pages.</ref> to the point that an objective, unbiased understanding of the subject has become very difficult, stemming from disagreements between [[Dan Skunk]] and members of FE's staff. Generally, Dan Skunk has viewed his role as the main, instrumental and under-acknowledged founder, while the opposing view has been that he was an initial participant (amongst many) in the early stages of the convention's formation, who helped bring together a number of the people who eventually formed the concom.<ref name="festat">[http://www.furnalequinox.com/sites/default/files/FEStatement20100803.pdf Furnal Equinox statement], viewed on July 9, 2011.</ref> What is certain is that over the period from 2008-2010, relations between Dan Skunk and the organizing committee became increasingly acrimonious. The debate over this topic on both sides has become so lengthy over minute details that it suggests personal motivations are at work, more so than the facts' actual historical relevance and the desire to state them.

The [[Toronto Furry|Toronto fandom]] had been largely fractured for most of the early 2000s. In July 2008, an event called the [[Islington Furmeet]] was created by [[Ki-Wind]] and Dan Skunk, which may or may not have inspired the idea that a local convention was now possible. Dan claims to have made several trips to meet with possible hotels and convention centers in the summer of 2008,<ref name="danstat">[http://www.furnalequinox.org/ The founding of a furry convention in Toronto], by Dan Skunk, viewed on July 9, 2011.</ref><ref>[[Talk:Furnal_Equinox]] edit 301757 by Dan Skunk, 15:15, 4 August 2010.</ref> to which FE staff have responded, "We have emails from Dan ... in which he states that the original ideas and proposals for the con effort that eventually led to FE, including the suggestion for the hotel that eventually was selected, were not (as he now claims) his ideas, and he ascribes them specifically to others. He did help to promote these ideas and deserves credit for that."<ref name="festat" />

In late 2008, ShiroTora began a discussion on the [[Toronto Furry|TorFur Mailing List]] about holding a convention.<ref name="danstat" /> There was also a 17-year-old who offered $5000 to get things started, even though there had yet to be any guarantee of an event.<ref>[http://www.crushyiffdestroy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=79596#79596 CrushYiffDestroy post] by [[AshleyAshes]], Feb 17, 2009 1:14 am. Viewed on Sept. 16, 2011.</ref> Dan has claimed that by December 2008, this monetary offer allowed him to "<nowiki>[gather]</nowiki> the financial resources needed to start the convention", after which he "started a discussion ... inviting others to become involved with the project",<ref>[[Talk:Furnal_Equinox]] edit 300778 by Dan Skunk, 14:59, 24 July 2010.</ref> and that himself and three others "had financial support, organizers, and had found a venue and had created a forum."<ref>[[Talk:Furnal_Equinox]] edit 302390 by Dan Skunk, 11:48, 9 August 2010.</ref> What is definitively acknowledged by both sides is that Dan created a message board to explore the project on his website and forum, [[Ontario Furries]].

In February 2009, the message board tried to determine the convention date and its staff members - not by hotel availability, past experience and competency - but by nomination, poll and popular vote.

Dan also set up a similar-sounding domain at [http://furnalequinox.org/ furnalequinox.org] to state his viewpoints.

'''Furnal Equinox''' (sometimes abbreviated as '''FE''') is a [[furry convention]] held during the month of March in [[Wikipedia:Toronto|Toronto]], [[Wikipedia:Ontario|Ontario]], [[Wikipedia:Canada|Canada]]. Announced in 2009 and holding its first edition in 2010, it is Canada's largest furry convention by attendance.

== History ==

Despite significant community support, Toronto had never hosted a hotel-based furry event prior to Furnal Equinox's founding. FE was therefore promoted in its first year as '''Toronto's First Furry Convention''' and announced to the world on July 1 (Canada Day), 2009.<ref>''[http://www.furry.ca/forum/index.php/topic,1657.0.html Furnal Equinox: coming to Toronto in March 2010!]'', furry.ca (accessed 10 August 2010)</ref>

The name Furnal Equinox was conceived by founding member [[ShiroTora]]. The chosen name plays upon the convention's date in March, close to the beginning of spring (the [[Wikipedia:Vernal equinox|vernal equinox]]).<ref>''[http://www.furnalequinox.com/AboutUs About Us]'', Furnal Equinox website (accessed 14 July 2010)</ref>

It was the success of the [[Islington Furmeet]] June 14th, 2008 that inspired people to start talking about a Furry Convention in Toronto.<ref name=unofficial>''[http://www.furnalequinox.org/ unofficial statement]'' on FE's founding, and controversy with Dan Skunk(accessed 4 September 2011) (POV)</ref>

In the summer of 2008 [[Dan Skunk]] started talking with people about where it could be held and started visiting hotels in the city to find a suitable venue.<ref name=unofficial/>

On Wednessday, November 19, 2008, [[Sparrow]], Dan Skunk, and [[Danruk]] made the first visit to look at the hotel that would eventually be chosen for the convention.<ref name=unofficial/>

On Saturday, December 2nd, 2008, Dan Skunk created a board on [[Ontario Furries]] for people to discuss a convention in Toronto and announced it on the [[Toronto Furry Mailing List]].<ref name=unofficial/>

Dan Skunk made an open invitation for people to join an organizing committee for the convention and personal invitations to a number of community members.

Dan Skunk started the first discussions with the founding committee that consisted of Aaeden, Benjamin, Blindsight, Danruk, Dan Skunk, Ki Wind, Pakesh De, Potoroo, Scani, Shiro Tora, and Sparrow, and called the first in person meeting at the Duke of Devon Pub, in Toronto coinciding with a furmeet there run by Morgan.

== Conventions ==

*'''[[Furnal Equinox 2010]]''' took place on March 6-7, 2010 at the Doubletree by Hilton - Toronto Airport hotel, attracting 330 attendees. The Guests of Honour were [[Heather Bruton]] and [[BushyCat]], and the convention celebrated the theme of "Furry Fun and Games".
*'''[[Furnal Equinox 2011]]''' took place on March 11-13, 2011, returning to the Doubletree by Hilton - Toronto Airport hotel, attracting 450 attendees<ref>[http://twitter.com/furnalequinox/status/47072042683609088 Tweet containing statistics], posted on the Furnal Equinox Twitter account. Viewed on Sept. 16, 2011.</ref> - currently a record for a Canadian furry event. The Guests of Honour were [[FirestormSix]] and [[ZEN]], and the convention's theme was "Wild Magic".
*'''[[Furnal Equinox 2012]]''' will take place on March 16-18, 2012, returning to the Doubletree. The Guests of Honour will be furry artists [[Dark Natasha]] and [[Marci McAdam]], and the theme of the convention will be "Infurnally Yours".

== Operations ==

Furnal Equinox is operated by '''Anthropomorphic Events of Ontario''', a [http://www.duhaime.org/LegalDictionary/N/NotForProfit.aspx corporation without share-capital (NPO)] in the Province of Ontario, founded in June 2009. [[Pakesh De]] and [[Blindsight]] have been the co-chairs since the inaugural year of the convention.

== Origins and controversy ==

The details and credit for how Furnal Equinox came to exist has been mired in an extensive WikiFur editing war<ref>See this article's revision history and discussion pages.</ref> to the point that an objective, unbiased understanding of the subject has become very difficult, stemming from disagreements between [[Dan Skunk]] and members of FE's staff. Generally, Dan Skunk has viewed his role as the main, instrumental and under-acknowledged founder, while the opposing view has been that he was an initial participant (amongst many) in the early stages of the convention's formation, who helped bring together a number of the people who eventually formed the concom.<ref name="festat">[http://www.furnalequinox.com/sites/default/files/FEStatement20100803.pdf Furnal Equinox statement], viewed on July 9, 2011.</ref> What is certain is that over the period from 2008-2010, relations between Dan Skunk and the organizing committee became increasingly acrimonious. The debate over this topic on both sides has become so lengthy over minute details that it suggests personal motivations are at work, more so than the facts' actual historical relevance and the desire to state them.

The [[Toronto Furry|Toronto fandom]] had been largely fractured for most of the early 2000s. In July 2008, an event called the [[Islington Furmeet]] was created by [[Ki-Wind]] and Dan Skunk, which may or may not have inspired the idea that a local convention was now possible. Dan claims to have made several trips to meet with possible hotels and convention centers in the summer of 2008,<ref name="danstat">[http://www.furnalequinox.org/ The founding of a furry convention in Toronto], by Dan Skunk, viewed on July 9, 2011.</ref><ref>[[Talk:Furnal_Equinox]] edit 301757 by Dan Skunk, 15:15, 4 August 2010.</ref> to which FE staff have responded, "We have emails from Dan ... in which he states that the original ideas and proposals for the con effort that eventually led to FE, including the suggestion for the hotel that eventually was selected, were not (as he now claims) his ideas, and he ascribes them specifically to others. He did help to promote these ideas and deserves credit for that."<ref name="festat" />

In late 2008, ShiroTora began a discussion on the [[Toronto Furry|TorFur Mailing List]] about holding a convention.<ref name="danstat" /> There was also a 17-year-old who offered $5000 to get things started, even though there had yet to be any guarantee of an event.<ref>[http://www.crushyiffdestroy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=79596#79596 CrushYiffDestroy post] by [[AshleyAshes]], Feb 17, 2009 1:14 am. Viewed on Sept. 16, 2011.</ref> Dan has claimed that by December 2008, this monetary offer allowed him to "<nowiki>[gather]</nowiki> the financial resources needed to start the convention", after which he "started a discussion ... inviting others to become involved with the project",<ref>[[Talk:Furnal_Equinox]] edit 300778 by Dan Skunk, 14:59, 24 July 2010.</ref> and that himself and three others "had financial support, organizers, and had found a venue and had created a forum."<ref>[[Talk:Furnal_Equinox]] edit 302390 by Dan Skunk, 11:48, 9 August 2010.</ref> What is definitively acknowledged by both sides is that Dan created a message board to explore the project on his website and forum, [[Ontario Furries]].

In February 2009, the message board tried to determine the convention date and its staff members - not by hotel availability, past experience and competency - but by nomination, poll and popular vote. [[Potoroo]] (the con chair of Feral) posted a harsh criticism to the board, and the debate attracted the attention of [[Crush! Yiff! Destroy!]].<ref>[http://www.crushyiffdestroy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3540 Toronto Furries attempting to run convention, democratically], viewed on Sept. 16, 2011.</ref> It was also difficult to interpret what the poll results actually meant, and whether they could be turned into something useful.

24.77.166.82: /* Chat */ Eliminated the IRC timeline - too much unecessary detail. Reduced it to basic, helpful information with credit where it's needed.

'''Toronto Furry''', sometimes abbreviated as '''TorFur''', refers either to furries living in the area around [[wikipedia:Toronto|Toronto, Ontario]], or to the Toronto Furry Mailing List (see below). It is one of the larger regional furry communities in [[Canada]].

== History ==

Toronto's furry community first emerged on [[The Trap Line]], a [[FurNet (FidoNet)|FurNet BBS]] in the early 1990s. Although there were occasional room parties at Ad Astra (a local science-fiction convention), organized furmeets were fairly rare.

In the second half of the 1990s, a new generation of predominantly gay [[Furry lifestyler|lifestyler]] furries emerged in Toronto that congregated around [[Silfur|Silfur's]] social circle. Out of this group were created the Toronto Furry Mailing List, [[The Purple Nurple]], [[The Yiffy Guide to Safer Sex]] and [[Feral!|Camp Feral]]. The energy of the group was very active with regular meets held at a community center, and large parties were held for Hallowe'en and New Year's.

By 2002, however, due to a gradual drifting away of various members, the disuse of the community center space, and [[Terry Wessner]] moving out of town (whose condo had been an excellent gathering-spot), the momentum of the core group broke down and most meets reverted to small, private gatherings of close friends.

As of 2010, the organizational ability of furries in the Toronto area has been gradually recovering, aided by the creation of new message boards, [[Furnal Equinox]], and more event cross-participation with other fans in southern Ontario. However, local disagreements and politics between members has resulted in the creation of numerous web pages, forums and IRC channels with competing similar-sounding names.

== Resources ==

=== Mailing List ===

The [http://mailman.catsden.net/mailman/listinfo/torfur Toronto Furry Mailing List] (also frequently referred to as '''TorFur''') is the longest-running resource for the Toronto Furry community, started by Silfur near the beginning of 1997. It is currently hosted on catsden.net and administrated by [[Potoroo]], and has two sister lists for the announcement of events and debates ([http://mailman.catsden.net/mailman/listinfo/torfur-events torfur-events] and [http://mailman.catsden.net/mailman/listinfo/torfur-debate torfur-debate], respectively).

=== Websites ===

A web page for Toronto furries was created around 1998 which was later hosted by [[Benjamin]] at [[furry.ca]]<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.furry.ca/toronto/ Internet Archive archives of http://www.furry.ca/toronto/] until being closed in late 2005. Retrieved 2008 Dec 28</ref>. After not being maintained, a similar resource was recreated by [[Dan Skunk]] in May 2006 and was hosted on [[Furnation]]<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20070929065952/http://www.furry.ca/toronto/ furry.ca/toronto/" (redirect to http://www.furnation.com/danskunk/torfur/)]. Archived from the original on 2007-09-29. Retrieved on 2008 December 28.</ref><ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.furnation.com/toronto/ Internet Archive archives of http://www.furnation.com/toronto/]. Retrieved 2008 Dec 28</ref>. As of November 2008, it now points to the [[Ontario Furries]] web site and forum.

An alternative website and forum was created at torfurs.com in early 2010, however as of 2011 it has been redirected and broadened to [http://ontariofurs.com/ ontariofurs.com].

A third website, [http://www.torfur.com torfur.com], briefly existed during 2007-2008. It was hosted by [[Bad Karma Networks]] but is not currently used.

=== Chat ===

Several IRC channels linked to the Toronto Furry community exist on [[FurNet (IRC)|FurNet]], the two primary of which are [irc://irc.furnet.org/torfur #torfur] and [irc://irc.furnet.org/ontariofurries #OntarioFurries], both originally registered by Dan Skunk. Other channels have included #toronto_furry, [irc://irc.furnet.org/toronto-furry #toronto-furry], and #nsftorfur. The admins and moderation policies of the channels have changed several times since 2005 between Dan Skunk, [[Scani]] and others, particularly with #torfur.

== Events ==

Events are usually organized by individuals on discussion forums, and don't have a fixed schedule. Semi-regular dining get-togethers in the past have included locations near Islington subway station, the Old Spaghetti Factory on The Esplanade, and brunch in Toronto's gay village. There are also group trips to the zoo, movies, etc.

Notable annual events include Deuce's Centre Island BBQ around Victoria Day weekend, and conventions such as [[Feral!|Camp Feral]] and [[Furnal Equinox]].

Because southern Ontario is highly populated, it is not unusual for some people to drive longer distances to attend events in other nearby towns and cities. Toronto furries frequently subscribe to online resources on the provincial or national level, such as the {{lj-comm|canadianfurs}} Livejournal community, or the [http://www.furry.ca/forum/ furry.ca] forums.

== Events ==

Events are usually organized by individuals on discussion forums, and don't have a fixed schedule. Semi-regular dining get-togethers in the past have included locations near Islington subway station, the Old Spaghetti Factory on The Esplanade, and brunch in Toronto's gay village. There are also group trips to the zoo, movies, etc.

Notable annual events include Deuce's Centre Island BBQ around Victoria Day weekend, and conventions such as [[Feral!|Camp Feral]] and [[Furnal Equinox]].

Because southern Ontario is highly populated, it is not unusual for some people to drive longer distances to attend events in other nearby towns and cities. Toronto furries frequently subscribe to online resources on the provincial or national level, such as the {{lj-comm|canadianfurs}} Livejournal community, or the [http://www.furry.ca/forum/ furry.ca] forums.

Toronto Furry

2011-08-16T14:08:00Z

24.77.166.82: /* History */ added Guide

'''Toronto Furry''', sometimes abbreviated as '''TorFur''', refers either to furries living in the area around [[wikipedia:Toronto|Toronto, Ontario]], or to the Toronto Furry Mailing List (see below). It is one of the larger regional furry communities in [[Canada]].

== History ==

Toronto's furry community first emerged on [[The Trap Line]], a [[FurNet (FidoNet)|FurNet BBS]] in the early 1990s. Although there were occasional room parties at Ad Astra (a local science-fiction convention), organized furmeets were fairly rare.

In the second half of the 1990s, a new generation of predominantly gay [[Furry lifestyler|lifestyler]] furries emerged in Toronto that congregated around [[Silfur|Silfur's]] social circle. Out of this group were created the Toronto Furry Mailing List, [[The Purple Nurple]], [[The Yiffy Guide to Safer Sex]] and [[Feral!|Camp Feral]]. The energy of the group was very active with regular meets held at a community center, and large parties were held for Hallowe'en and New Year's.

By 2002, however, due to a gradual drifting away of various members, the disuse of the community center space, and [[Terry Wessner]] moving out of town (whose condo had been an excellent gathering-spot), the momentum of the core group broke down and most meets reverted to small, private gatherings of close friends.

As of 2010, the organizational ability of furries in the Toronto area has been gradually recovering, aided by the creation of new message boards, [[Furnal Equinox]], and more event cross-participation with other fans in southern Ontario. However, local disagreements and politics between members has resulted in the creation of numerous web pages, forums and IRC channels with competing similar-sounding names.

Toronto Furry

24.77.166.82: On second thought let's drop all the member statistics entirely; changes too much and difficult to estimate how many members are truly active; very subjective.

'''Toronto Furry''', sometimes abbreviated as '''TorFur''', is an association of furries living in the area around [[wikipedia:Toronto|Toronto, Ontario]]. It is one of the larger regional furry communities in [[Canada]] and is serviced by a number of loosely-affiliated services.

Events are usually organized by individuals on discussion forums, and don't have a fixed schedule. Semi-regular dining get-togethers in the past have included locations near Islington subway station, the Old Spaghetti Factory on The Esplanade, and brunch in Toronto's gay village. There are also group trips to the zoo, movies, etc.

Notable annual events include Deuce's Centre Island BBQ around Victoria Day weekend, and conventions such as [[Feral!|Camp Feral]] and [[Furnal Equinox]].

Because southern Ontario is highly populated, it is not unusual for some people to drive longer distances to attend events in other nearby towns and cities. Toronto furries frequently subscribe to online resources on the provincial or national level, such as the {{lj-comm|canadianfurs}} Livejournal community, or the [http://www.furry.ca/forum/ furry.ca] forums.

Toronto Furry

24.77.166.82: fixing statistics

'''Toronto Furry''', sometimes abbreviated as '''TorFur''', is an association of furries living in the area around [[wikipedia:Toronto|Toronto, Ontario, Canada]]. It is one of the larger regional furry communities with over 400 estimated active members, and it is serviced by a number of loosely-affiliated services.

== History ==

Toronto's furry community first emerged on [[The Trap Line]], a [[FurNet (FidoNet)|FurNet BBS]] in the early 1990s. Although there were occasional room parties at Ad Astra (a local science-fiction convention), organized furmeets were fairly rare.

In the late 1990s, a new generation of predominantly gay [[Furry lifestyler|lifestyler]] furries emerged in Toronto that congregated around [[Silfur|Silfur's]] social circle. Out of this group were created the Toronto Furry Mailing List, [[The Purple Nurple]] and [[Feral!|Camp Feral]]. The energy of the group was very active with regular meets held at a community center, and large parties were held for Hallowe'en and New Year's.

By 2002, however, due to a gradual drifting away of various members, the disuse of the community center space, and [[Terry Wessner]] moving out of town (whose condo had been an excellent gathering-spot), the momentum of the core group broke down and most meets reverted to small, private gatherings of close friends.

As of 2010, the organizational ability of furries in the Toronto area has been gradually recovering, aided by the creation of new message boards, [[Furnal Equinox]], and more event cross-participation with other fans in southern Ontario. However, local disagreements and politics between members has resulted in the creation of numerous web pages, forums and IRC channels with competing similar-sounding names.

=== Mailing List ===

The [http://mailman.catsden.net/mailman/listinfo/torfur Toronto Furry Mailing List] (also frequently referred to as TorFur) is the longest-running resource for the Toronto Furry community, started by Silfur near the beginning of 1997. It is currently hosted on catsden.net and administrated by [[Potoroo]] and has nearly 250 subscribers.

The mailing list also has two sister lists for the announcement of events and debates ([http://mailman.catsden.net/mailman/listinfo/torfur-events torfur-events] and [http://mailman.catsden.net/mailman/listinfo/torfur-debate torfur-debate] respectively).

=== Websites ===

A web page for Toronto furries was created around 1998, and was later maintained by [[Benjamin]] and hosted at [[furry.ca]]<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.furry.ca/toronto/ Internet Archive archives of http://www.furry.ca/toronto/] until being closed in late 2005. Retrieved 2008 Dec 28</ref>. It was re-opened by [[Dan Skunk]] in May 2006, hosted on [[Furnation]]<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20070929065952/http://www.furry.ca/toronto/ furry.ca/toronto/" (redirect to http://www.furnation.com/danskunk/torfur/)].

After acquiring its own domain and forum in November 2008, the Furnation page now points to the [[Ontario Furries]] web site. It had over 500 members in August 2011, of which only half have posted on the forums.

An alternative website and forum was created at torfurs.com in early 2010, however as of 2011 it has been redirected and broadened to [http://ontariofurs.com/ ontariofurs.com].

A third website, [http://www.torfur.com torfur.com], briefly existed during 2008. It was hosted by [[Bad Karma Networks]] but is not currently used.

=== Chat ===

Several IRC channels linked to the Toronto Furry community exist on [[FurNet (IRC)|FurNet]], the two primary of which are [irc://irc.furnet.org/torfur #torfur] and [irc://irc.furnet.org/ontariofurries #OntarioFurries]. A partial timeline is as follows:

24.77.166.82: Request to merge

{{Merge|Toronto Furry}}
{{wikify}}'''Toronto Furries'''

Toronto Furries here is being referenced to the local websites and forums over the years.
Toronto Furries as a group, existed before these forums and webpages were around and the people in the current group are somewhat different then the group in the 90's.

Toronto Furries was originally a [[forum]] in Ontario hosted at www.torfur.com. It seems to have gone defunct in 2008 and one of the members made a new forum called OntarioFurries, where things seem to have stayed.

In 2009, Shane started torfurs.com in an attempt to give people from Ontariofurries another place to go with a more relaxed atmosphere and maturity, it was also created to attempt to bring the Toronto furries from the 90's, back into the current generation.

So far it has met with limited success on the forums, but has started to make headway after continuing the "Spaghetti Factory Dinner" Meet, that is held once a month. Slowly bringing back some of the furries locally from the 90's and showing them it's still a great place to be.

They have since moved into creating airbrushed shirts featuring the sites banner and design, created by MUNEKIT, owner of the #CanadianFurs channel, a known local artist and new [[fursuit]]er.

Torfurs hopes to bring Toronto furries from the 90's and today's generation back into a solid group that it once was. The old torfur.com site is still around, the Toronto furries group also has a mailing list, that while seemingly empty, has quite a few people on it, watching, listening and paying attention.

Removed personal bias in article. Substituting more neutral words. -- (preceding unsigned comment by IP [[User:99.227.248.140|99.227.248.140]] <sup>([[User_talk:99.227.248.140|Talk]])</sup> at 06:57, 15 May 2008)

Just did a major re-edit of this page and added a historical section. Wanted to update links to the current groups and clean it up visually. The Chat section was a particularly disjointed ramble of minutiae with a bizarre fixation on dates, so I converted and simplified it to a more readable timeline structure. Also, the [[Toronto_furries]] page seems to be trying to accomplish the same thing as this page, but with less information and worse presentation, as well as being another case of Toronto furry politics spilling over onto WikiFur to create similar-sounding resources. I suggest its content be merged into this one or discarded entirely. [[Special:Contributions/24.77.166.82|24.77.166.82]] 15:48, 2 August 2011 (EDT)

Notable annual events include Deuce's Centre Island BBQ around Victoria Day weekend, and conventions such as [[Feral!|Camp Feral]] and [[Furnal Equinox]].

Because southern Ontario is densely-populated, it is not unusual for some people to drive longer distances to attend events in other nearby towns and cities.

History of FurryMUCK

2011-05-01T20:29:11Z

24.77.166.82: added 1994 book

This article covers the '''history of [[FurryMUCK]]'''.

==Beginnings==
*'''August 1990''': [[BlueMage]], Neil M, a student at North Carolina State University started a Muck on one of the servers. The theme was to mimic the university's campus which has unusual areas like underground steam tunnels. There were steam tunnels, a bandstand, and other initial objects. [[BlueMage]], invited [[Melissa Whitfield|Gypsy]], Melissa Whitfield, to help out with building the Muck. She was made a wizard (object #2). Melissa saw that the project would be a large endeavor and invited her boyfriend [[Drew Maxell]] to help with the building. The NCState theme didn't seem to catch on. A new theme was discussed and Drew brought in the idea of FurryMUCK (hatched from discussions between him and his housemates).

The '''The Furry Hall Of Fame''' is an idea conceived by the MiDFur board of Directors in 2009, is an annual ceremony where members of the world wide Furry community are inducted for their loyalty, contributions and undying commitment to furthering the Furry Fandom world wide

The very first Hall of Fame induction was held at MiDFur X (2009)
