Madagascar

2006-09-15T04:22:17Z

72.134.79.2:

'''Madagascar''' was a computer generated animation movie released in 2005 by [[wikipedia:DreamWorks|DreamWorks Animation]].
{{Spoiler}}
In it, four [[wikipedia:Central_Park_Zoo|New York City Central Park Zoo]] animals ([[Alex]] ([[lion]] -- voiced by Ben Stiller), [[Marty]] ([[zebra]] -- voiced by Chris Rock), [[Melman]] ([[giraffe]] -- voiced by David Schwimmer), and Gloria ([[wikipedia:Hippopotamus|hippopotamus]] -- voiced by Jada Pinkett Smith), are sent back to Africa to be in the wild after Marty has a mid-life crisis and escapes the zoo. Their ship, however, is hijacked by a group of penguins from the zoo (voiced by, among others, the film's director, Tom McGrath) intent on getting to [[wikipedia:Antarctica|Antarctica]], and they are marooned on an island, presumably the island of [[wikipedia:Madagascar|Madagascar]]. There, they are befriended by a colony of [[wikipedia:lemur|lemurs]], led by [[King Julien XIII]] (voiced by Sacha Baron Cohen), who hope that the new arrivals, especially Alex, will protect them from their enemies, the [[fossa]]. While it takes a while, Alex's instincts finally take over, almost too much as he attacks his friends, and drive the fossa away. The penguins arrive back at the island after discovering Antarctica 'sucks' but have run out of fuel in the process, stranding the group on the island permanently.

Much to the surprise of Hollywood (especially critics, who were very unkind to the film to say the least), the animated comedy became one of the top box office draws of 2005. It spawned a Christmas-themed short film (starring the penguins), and inevitable talk of a sequel soon followed.

The Prancing Skiltaire

2006-09-10T04:36:14Z

72.134.79.2: /* Current and former residents */

{{LinkingSupporter}}
The '''Prancing Skiltaire''' is the given name of a private residence in [[Wikipedia:Garden Grove|Garden Grove]], [[Wikipedia:Orange County|Orange County]], [[Wikipedia:California|California]], owned by [[Mark Merlino]]. It is host to a group of [[furries]] that share their common interests in the [[furry fandom]], and also have been host to a variety of public events in the past years: annual holiday get-togethers, [[ConFurence]] and [[Califur]] staff meetings, [[filk]]ing concerts, and more recently, has taken over the previous role of monthly parties that were hosted by the wildly popular [[Rick's Café Terrestrienne]], which were just located a few blocks East until [[Rick Calhoun|Rick]] and [[Tess the Red Pony|Tess Calhoun]] moved to state of [[Wikipedia:Washington|Washington]], [[Wikipedia:United States|USA]] in mid 2005.

[[Image:HouseAndSign.jpg|center|The Prancing Skiltaire]]

== House party ==
<div style="float:right">__TOC__</div>
Guests of the monthly [[house party]] are asked to provide their own food and munchies. A BBQ is available in the backyard.
Parties are usually held on the second Saturday of each month, but consult the schedule for special parties (e.g. New Years, Halloween, Fourth of July, etc) or changes of plans.

== History ==

The name of the house was modelled after traditional Old English tradition: e.g.: "Red Lion Inn", "The Boar's Head", etc. which signifies a place of abode and commune to weary travelers. [[Skiltaire]] are a [[species]] created by Mark for a personally-made [[role-playing game|RPG]].

The five-bedroom house is known for its primarily furry-themed decor. Most of the walls and shelving space is decked out with original and re-created animation cels of past furry movies, Japanese and Chinese manga, original artwork by various furry artists, an extensive collection of DVDs, CDs, music, and offbeat movies, a large collection of [[plush toy|plushie]]s, memorabilia, collectables, statuettes, etc.

== Tiger's Den BBS ==

'''Date of Operation:''' 1983-1996

Not to be confused with [[Tigerden Internet Services]], [[Tiger's Den BBS]] was a furry-themed [[bulletin board service]] in the mid-to-late 80's before the popularization of the internet. The servers were located in the far east wing of the house. As a result of this and Mark's professional skills as a networking engineer, the house was rigged with a more-than-adequate ethernet network, which was ahead of its time for a personal residence before the popularization of residental LANs.

== Firstlight Internet Services ==

The skiltaire also has a history with [[Firstlight Internet Services]]. Firstlight was/is a full-service ISP, once primarily based out of [[Wikipedia:Orange County|Orange County]]. [[Koyama|Neil Whelchel]], its owner, was a long-time resident at the house, and consequently, partners in maintaining the communication networks provided at [[ConFurence]], along with [[Tigerden Internet Services]]. Many of the residents of the house were given complimentary webspace and email addresses, some of which are still in use today. The ISP was also host of [[The Pride Lands MUCK]], an offshoot of [[The Lion King MUCK]].

The name Firstlight was chosen for the area of TLK MUCK which hosted the Firstlight Pride, for its positioning on the far-eastern borders of the muck; it being the first light of day. The Pride was composed of many various species of animal; something which the staff of TLK MUCK objected to. The idea of, say, a [[honey badger]] being mated to a [[lion|lioness]] seemed a horribly taboo idea for many of the players and thus they were subject of regular complaints to the administration. The members of the pride decided to create their own Lion King themed MUCK, and thus [[The Pride Lands MUCK]] was born.

== Politics ==

Many rumors surround the house as to the social circumstances of its occupants. These rumors have deterred potential guests from attending past events held at the house. '''Many of these rumors are just that: rumors.''' The house is host to many furries and has been, in the past, commune for those furs either displaced from their home and given residence for rent or exchange of apprenticeship in Mark's network communication company, Lantana, Ltd. The house's occupants are friendly and open to visitors. Like any other house, it has met its trials and tribulations. If anything, the house has been a service to the furry community, and continues to be so to this day.

72.134.79.2:

'''Rod O'Riley''' (aka. '''Rodney Stansfield''' or '''Vinson Mink''') co-founded [[ConFurence]], runs [[programming]] for [[Califur]], and is often identified as one of the founding members of organized [[furry fandom]], along with his long time mate, [[Mark Merlino]]. Rodney is also the editor and chief [[writer]] of ''[[In-Fur-Nation]]'', a furry news-[[fanzine|zine]].

'''[[WikiFur:Did you know?#16 August|Did you know?]]''' Rod, the editor of ''[[In-Fur-Nation]]'', has also hosted the [[Furry Fandom Lounge]] at [[Worldcon]] in 1996 and 2006, and at the NASFIC (held when Worldcon is held outside of North America) in 1999.

Rodney's personal [[totem]] animal and spirit guide is the [[mink]]. Rodney likens the mink spirit to "an [[otter]] with attitude". A "lactovarian" (yes that's a real word), Rodney has been active in environmental, animal rights, vegetarian, and non-violence issues for many years. He is also a [[Wikipedia:Libertarian Party|Libertarian Party]] activist.

Rodney also has diverse interests in music, leading to constant musical projects in which he enlists a roster of musicians, both in and out of the furry fandom.

The Prancing Skiltaire

9/11 Furry Status Page

2006-08-26T09:07:23Z

72.134.79.2: Adding missing entry that was listed in the archived version of the page.

The '''WTC Furry Status Page''' was to be a "once in a lifetime" web page created in response to the terrorist attacks on the [[Wikipedia:World_Trade_Center|World Trade Center]] in [[Wikipedia:New York City|New York City, United States]], on that fateful day of [[Wikipedia:September_11,_2001_attacks|September 11, 2001 (9/11)]].

*'''Address''': http://qrm.exodus.net/fur-status.html (down, [http://web.archive.org/web/20011208210551/http://qrm.exodus.net/fur-status.html archived])
*'''Founder''': [[Phyxis]]
*'''Operational dates''': September 11, 2001 - September 17, 2001

Within hours of the tragedy, queries for friends and loved ones living in the New York area started to circulate through out the whole of [[furry fandom]] (on [[Usenet]], [[MUCKs]], mailing lists and forums). To help this endeavor, [[Phyxis]] created this page for [[furries]] to quickly locate, inform or check the status of any fur in the area of the attack. The HTML tabled web page itself was broken down in several columns which were ''"Primary Character Name"'', ''"Aliases, etc..."'', ''"Last Update"'', ''"State, Country"'', ''"Needs Info?"'', ''"Current Status"'', ''"Additional Information"'' and ''"Last Update"''.

Although most of these were self-explanatory, some, such as ''"Needs Info?"'', were reserved for still missing furs (last one being [[FireFoxx]]) before everybody's status was confirmed; ''"Current Status"'' was to indicate if such fur was alright, missing, or deceased; ''"Additional Information"'' indicated last known location, or miscellaneous information; while, finally, ''"Last Update"'' was the last fur to confirm a particular furry's final status.

By September 17, 2001, everybody was accounted for. Of 96 New York area furries, 94 were to be found safe, while two perished during the Towers' collapse. Those furs were:

* [[Walter Senge]] (also known as DesertCat), and [[Elizabeth Martin Gregg]] (also known as Lisa Gregg) (In Memoriam).

Even though the page had fulfilled its function by September 17 of 2001, it remained online until December 8 of that same year.

Radica Procyon

2006-06-12T06:21:20Z

72.134.79.2:

'''Radica''' is a character in ''[[Extinctioners]]''.

[[Image:Extinctioners_Cast_Radica.jpg|thumb|right|Radica]]

Radica first appeared in Extinctioners issue 8, full appearance issue 9. She's caught robbing the Fela's kitchen of food by Micro. To make up for her failed robbery she agrees to work for them as a mechanic & handy man, fixing things in return for pay and meals. She's very tomboyish and has a big crush on [[Jacob WhiteEye|Micro]], who she teases by calling him "Cheese Eater" which he hates. Thing is, she doesn't know how to express this crush to him and it only serves to annoy rather than to attract.

Califur

{{Califur}}
'''Califur''' is a [[convention]] that succeeded the long-running [[Confurence]] as the annual furry event of Southern California. Califur is organized by [[FENEC Adventures]].

==Origin of FENEC and Califur==
FENEC ("Furries Enjoying the Natural Environments of California") was conceived by [[Alohawolf|Robert "Alohawolf" Johnson Jr.]], [[Dawn Britt]], and [[Dennis Carr]] with the initial idea of having a furry-themed campout. While riding home from the southern California [[FurBQ]], Dawn had commented to Dennis and his wife, Karmin, about the lack of other camping events such as [[Feral!]] in Southern California. Dennis pointed this out while chatting on the [[Furnet]] IRC Network, and Robert took charge from there.

As the campout was being planned, additional staffers including [[Zee|Zsanene "Zee" Stevens]], [[Trapa|Tank "Trapa" Winters]], [[Drew kitty|Andrew "Drew kitty" Clark]] along with [[ConFurence]] co-founders [[Mark Merlino]] and [[Rod O'Riley]] were brought on board. With the demise of ConFurence in 2003, Mark and Robert expressed a desire to see a regional convention maintained in Southern California. The decision was made in early autumn of 2003 to plan a traditional hotel-based convention to succeed [[ConFurence 2003]] with [[Califur 0]] the following year.

==Califur over the Years==

'''[[Califur 0]]''' was held May 28-30, 2004 at the Atrium Hotel in Irvine, California. Though original expectations were modest, this inaugural dry run had an unexpected 328 attendees, over five times that of [[Confurence 0]].

Between 2004 and 2005, there were many staffing changes, but significant growth was achieved in both room registrations and attendance. The executive leadership of the convention has been reported as feeling this to be a continuing trend, due to the growth of [[fandom]] as a whole.

'''[[Califur 1]]''' was held May 20-22, 2005 and had 380 attendees, a 15% gain over the previous year.

After 2005, there were some minor staff changes, with [[TigerEyes|Zsanene "TigerEyes" Stevens]] being selected by the FENEC board to succeed original Califur founder [[AlohaWolf|Robert "Alohawolf" Johnson Jr.]] as the new [[convention chairman|chairperson]].

'''[[Califur 2]]''' was held May 5-7, 2006 and had 434 attendees at The Holiday Inn in Costa Mesa, California.

'''[[Califur 3]]''' is scheduled to be held May 4-6, 2007 at the same location as Califur 1 and 2. The theme for 2007 is "Our Favorite Furry Villains" (Scar, Professor Ratigan, Don Karnage, Jack Salem, Bun Bun, and many many more!). The Artist Guest of Honor will be Balaa, and the Musical Guest of Honor will be Marc Gunn (creator of "Irish Drinking Songs for Cat Lovers").
