== Controversy Section? ==
From what I've gathered on Blackwing Dragon, he isn't a paticularly well-rounded individual, and seems to have anger-management issues when on the internet. There are over 46 recorded threats made by him floating around on the website Encyclopedia Draematica, as well as flame war-sparking threads and posts made in the Yiffstar Furoom ([http://forum.yiffstar.com/index.php?topic=57731.0 like this one]).

The reason why I bring these things up is because with the exception of the small change I made to his FA status (inactive to banned, which is true), there's nothing even remotely negative on his WikiFur page, despite the fact that he has certainly done things that would land at least a small paragraph in this.

So now I bring this up for you, WikiFur users. Should there be a section or at the very least a couple of sentences addressing the less positive things in Blackwing's history? --[[User:ToyoWolf|ToyoWolf]] 09:54, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

I added a small section about his...er, "less-positive" actions to the page. Everything is properly referenced, so no, Blackie, I'm not lying or bending the truth to exaggerate and cause drama. You, I and a slew of others know you said and did this stuff, so why hide it, huh? --[[User:ToyoWolf|ToyoWolf]] 11:51, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

== NPOV Discussion ==

So apparently this needs to be discussed. Which way is the lean, positive or negative? If it's the positive lean, I can see that. If it's the negative lean, I can make it more neutral if needed. --[[User:ToyoWolf|ToyoWolf]] 22:54, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
:Examples "for being very (very, very)[...]", "for any reason, at any given time", "(to anyone and everyone)" -- unless these are direct quotes(in which case they should be attributed), they don't belong in a neutral article. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 23:03, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
OKay, I toned down some parts of that. Is there anything else I should do to it? ^_^ --[[User:ToyoWolf|ToyoWolf]] 23:24, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
:Thanks for looking into it so quickly. If you can see any other way to improve it, go for it. I'll just see if there's a third opinion before removing the npov tag. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 23:44, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
Maybe we could possibly get Blackwing's side of the allegations as well? I mean, it ''IS'' his WikiFur page and all. --[[User:ToyoWolf|ToyoWolf]] 07:37, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Did blackwing make this about himself? The falisities are quite overwhelming. [[User:69.249.147.180|69.249.147.180]] 03:42, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

'''Eat All Furries''' (also known as '''EAF''') is an ezboard forum that enjoyed some degree of infamy within the [[furry fandom]] from early 2003 to late 2004. The same name is often used to refer to the collective group of members of the forum.

Eat All Furries had two flagship characters: the seemingly-spherical "mascot" [[Purple Monster]] and the head administrator's mysterious avatar, the [[Singing Circus Dog]]. [[Stiv]] also became a pivotal and iconic figure in the latter days of EAF.

For a short time, the banner image of the EAF forum featured two human figures wearing animal ears and tails. These two characters were known as "Twigfox" and "Buttbear", and they were depicted as being hunched obliviously over a pornographic furry comic book while the [[Purple Monster]] loomed silently and menacingly behind them. This banner image was lost when one of the administrators of EAF attempted to change all of the EAF board settings while under the influence of alcohol.

Though the group was frequently accused of being bigoted against furries, a large portion of the EAF core consisted of furries or friends of furries. EAF claimed to have no agenda aside from making fun of very strange and silly behavior.

==History==

The first public appearance of "Eat All Furries" was as a small, single web page filled with ridiculous and outlandish claims about furry fans. Ironically, this page was hosted on [http://www.eternalrain.net/ Eternal Rain](WTFHAX!~GySgtHartmann), a fansite that was created for [[Freya Crescent]], a demi-human character from the Final Fantasy series of videogames. Spawned from an inside joke, the page's title was "EAT ALL FURRIES!" and caused a considerable amount of dramatics on a web forum belonging to the page's owner, a friend of Singing Circus Dog.

EAF was created as a separate forum in 2003 when Singing Circus Dog created a [[LiveJournal]] community intended to make fun of what the EAF group considered to be the less appealing aspects of the [[furry fandom]]. In particular, posting links to "furry [[lolocaust]]s" were favored forms of entertainment. The community was deleted in early 2004 by LiveJournal administration following complaints from users.

Shortly afterward, EAF reappeared as an [http://p087.ezboard.com/beatallfurries ezboard forum], which also quickly became popular, defying the attempts of various detractors to have it shut down (one notable attempt being based on the claim that, since it made fun of furries, it was therefore a "gay bashing" board).

Toward the latter days of EAF, banning (a previously untouched course of action) was employed to dispose of users deemed particularly tiresome, whether furry or anti-furry. In its last few weeks of existence, [[Stiv]] was granted administrative power and proceeded to ban every user in the forum save a few core members. Generally, the assumption was that the forum had been hacked; however, Singing Circus Dog has publicly refuted any accusations of having been hacked.

The forum was finally locked down on 9/11/2004 by the administrators themselves, the opening graphic replaced by an animated MS Paint image of a crying [[wolf]] flying into the World Trade Center. This appears to have been planned greatly in advance and was likely the result of the administrators getting tired of "serious" anti-furries showing up on the forum.

==Aftermath==
Immediately following the dramatic closing of EAF, [[Agahnim]], a self-proclaimed enemy of EAF, claimed that he and [[Cool Kovu]] had spammed and hacked the forum, causing its fall. This is generally understood to be false.

Most of EAF's core membership were invited to join [[COTI]] at some point during EAF's existence. Some EAF members, such as [[rootdown]] and Stiv, were recruited to EAF from COTI. Much of the original COTI/EAF conglomeration remain cohorts to this day.

Eat All Furries is still commonly used as a scapegoat for anti-furry activity and is rumored by some to be still active as an underground organization dedicated to harming furry fandom.

On the 3rd of October, 2006, the [http://p087.ezboard.com/beatallfurries EAF forum] was resurrected by its original administrator, an individual who goes by the name of "Nivalis Capistrum". Very little is known about this person, other than the fact that he is an elderly resident of North America who lost portions of both of his legs in a tragic rollover accident involving a Cub Cadet lawn tractor. He is rumored to be a furry, as well as an Abbie Hoffman [[Otherkin]].
