<p>88.198.40.50: Trolling is hilarious!</p> <hr /> <div>{{Unreferenced}}<br /> [[Image:Arcturus_wiki.JPG|right|thumb|Arcturus the Internet Lawyer, drawn by [[Keihound]]]]<br /> '''Arcturus Kirwin''' (also known as '''Fiscal''', '''Nicolyrezk''') primarily plays a blue-and-white, yellow-spotted [[female]] [[dragon]]. He was the system administrator and lead developer for [[e621]], which was handed over to [[Varka]] in September 2010. He currently splits his time between [[wikipedia:Pennsylvania|Pennsylvania]], [[Wikipedia:United States|United States]] and an Undisclosed Location.<br /> <br /> == Furry ==<br /> <br /> Arcturus classes himelf as [[otherkin]], but often jokes that he is just &quot;''suffering from delusions''&quot; instead. Whilst usually an [[anthropomorphic]] dragon, he is also known as a [[shapeshifter]] with many varying guises.<br /> <br /> == Real Life ==<br /> <br /> In the land outside of the vast, bizarre [[Wikipedia:Internet|Internet]], Arcturus is a rather diminutive person of mostly [[wikipedia:Irish|Irish]] descent. He spends his days working on new and exciting projects for [[Angry Draken Media]] as well as a number of projects such as e621 in his free time. Whilst many online find him to be a rather exuberant and outspoken person, in real life he is quite introverted and shy.<br /> <br /> == Technical responsibilities ==<br /> <br /> Arcturus helps host a number of websites for individuals, groups and small organizations, both furry and not. In the past he has helped to stream [[FBC]] content and, after having helped to rebroadcast and archive [[2 Sense]], does occasionally broadcast shows herself. He was the founder of [[ArtPlz]] after the breakup of [[Fur Affinity]], at which time he withdrew his hosting following a managerial disagreement with Fur Affinity's founder and administrator [[Jheryn Lightfoot]].<br /> <br /> ArtPlz itself also saw some drama after he developed [[ChanPlz]], an [[Fchan]] clone for posting furry art. Several volunteers withdrew their support for ArtPlz, such as [[Arshes Nei]] stating ethical reasons for doing so. ChanPlz was taken down a few days later by Arcturus and others involved in its creation.<br /> <br /> Arcturus was an administrator for and systems administrator of [[WTFur]], a [[:Category:Mature image boards|mature furry image board]] much like Fchan, but these days runs, owns and maintains the furry community [[e621]]. As of August 31, 2010, he no longer runs e621. He shut it down in response to allegations of the site hosting child pornography, and gave the data over to [[Varka]] when he offered to take over the site.<br /> <br /> == Fact and Fiction ==<br /> <br /> Arcturus is becoming synonymous with [[Sibe]] thanks to his work in pointing out and exploiting security vulnerabilities in [[Fur Affinity]]. His work on WTFur, also, facilitated posting copyrighted furry art under the auspices of &quot;fair use&quot; due to the, in his words, &quot;''eponymous dictatorial attitudes of many furry artists''.&quot;<br /> <br /> == Conferences attended/attending ==<br /> <br /> * [[Eurofurence]] 8<br /> * [[AnthroCon]] 2003, 2004<br /> * [[Further Confusion]] 2006<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> <br /> * [[Verix]]'s [[User:Verix/Arcturus|story about Arcturus]]<br /> <br /> == External links ==<br /> {{Contributor|Arcturus}}<br /> * [http://www.angrydraken.com/ Angry Draken Media]<br /> * [http://www.basementcoder.com/ BasementCoder&amp;#91;dot&amp;#93;Com]<br /> * ''[http://nicolyrezk.livejournal.com/ Nicolyrezk Kirwin, Outlaw LiveJournalist]'' Arcturus' LiveJournal<br /> <br /> [[Category:People]][[Category:Programmers]][[Category:Dragon characters]][[Category:Wales]][[Category:Pennsylvania]][[Category:1983 births]]<br /> {{Supporter}}</div>
