'''Furgeddaboutit''' ('''FURG''') is an annual American [[furry convention]].

==History==

Furgeddaboutit started in late November/early December of 2024 as an alternative [[convention]] option for [[furries]] in the [[W:New Jersey|Garden State]] (New Jersey). Its founding leadership consists of members from local [[Furmeet|meetup groups]] and conventions such as [[Furrydelphia]], [[The Furst State]], [[Anthro Outdoor Adventures|AOA]], [[Furgen County]], and [[Pinefur Meets|Pinefurs]].

The event grew to include official [[W:Social media|social media]], a website, and a [[chatroom]] in January 2025. The registration for 2025 offered two tiers: regular attendee ($50) and [[sponsor]] ($100).

The sponsor tier came with official Furgeddaboutit merch, which included, but was not limited to, a t-shirt, coffee mug, and keychain. Both tiers were sold as a whole weekend only, as day passes were not offered for the first year.

'''Pinefur Meets''' is an American [[furmeet]].

== Overview ==

Pinefur Meets is one of [[W:South Jersey|Southern New Jersey's]] regional [[furry communities]], though it has members from a wide variety of regions, including [[furries]] from New Jersey's neighboring states like PA and Delaware.

The group's name, "Pinefur Meets," is a play on words: New Jersey is home to the [[W:New Jersey Pine Barrens|Pinelands]]; because of this, those who live in and near there were given the moniker '''''pineys'''''.

== History ==

Pinefur Meets is run by a small, dedicated team, was founded in 2023 as a small hangout and grew into a larger community after enough members expressed interest. As of April 2025, Pinefur Meets' [[Telegram]] consists of over 225 users.

== Mascot ==

PFM's [[mascot]] is '''Maybelle the''' [[W:Peryton|Peryton]] (a mainstream culture [[mythical]] [[creature]]), created to fully replace the original mascot, '''Ranger the''' [[W:Fox|Pine Fox]].

== Events ==

Pinefur Meets assists with the annual American [[furry convention]] [[Furgeddaboutit]]. Additionally, members gather for sporadic [[meet]]s, [[beach outing]]s, [[hike]]s, informal [[holiday celebration]]s, dinner outings, and birthday parties.

They also hosted the [[Pineland Furbowl]] meet, which has been inactive/defunct since Summer 2024.
