Athari: The artist moved and removed all her websites

'''Khaosdog''' is a designer and [[artist]] who lives in the country in northern [[Wikipedia:Germany|Germany]]. Her alter ego is a dark, skinny [[canine]] with pale blue eyes, often seen with blue glowing [[claw]]s and neck fur.

Around beginning of 2012, she has removed her site, her live journal and all her galleries after moving to Outback, Australia, where she couldn't be active in the furry community (presumably, because of bad connection).

History of Fur Affinity

2010-11-27T03:15:29Z

Athari: /* Pornographic cub art */

{{TOCright}}
The following is a history of [[Fur Affinity]] and its properties.

==History==
'''[[Fur Affinity]]''' was launched on January 16, 2005 as an alternative to [[SheezyArt]] with the forum going live on that date and the main site being transferred a few days later from [[FurPawz]].<ref>''[http://www.sheezyart.com/journal/view/51100/ Furaffinity.org information]'' - launch of forum on Furaffinity.net. Posted on SheezyArt, 16 January 2005.</ref><ref>''[http://www.sheezyart.com/journal/view/54575/ FurAffinity - note re. transfer of mainsite and 400+ users]''. Posted on [[SheezyArt]], 21 January 2005.</ref> During that time period, Sheezy abruptly changed policies to both remove adult art and take a stronger stance against users and their uploads. Warnings were supposedly issued from the site's service provider, advising SheezyArt that they were not permitted to host adult content on their site.

Much of Sheezy's community was abandoned after the rules change took effect. This migration left many with few alternatives. Many of those burned by SheezyArt went on to sites such as Fur Affinity and [[y!Gallery]]; when the latter decided to ban [[anthro art]] in May 2006 to refocus on its core topic, Fur Affinity gained further traffic.

=== Server problems of 2005 ===

Fur Affinity suffered from major security holes and hacking during Summer 2005. The site was shut down on 1 August due to a disagreement between lead coder [[Jheryn]] and host provider [[Arcturus]], the primary administrators of the site. At that time Fur Affinity had 12,174 user accounts and nearly 100,000 submissions. Arcturus and his supporters went on to found [[ArtPlz]].

Thanks to the community, Fur Affinity was able to build a stronger, faster server than the site originally used for operation. Over the course of 2005, Fur Affinity raised $1,500 in donations towards the purchase of a new primary server, though it did not go online until the middle of 2006.

Fur Affinity returned to operation in December 2005 with a solid backbone and more efficient coding, though full operational status was not reached until December 10 due to a defect in the motherboard which powered the server. Over 10,000 submissions were made in the first 12 hours subsequent to Fur Affinity's official re-opening, including both art from returning users and pieces not previously posted.

=== Fur Affinity: United! ===
{{main|FA: United}}
In August 2007, Fur Affinity held its own [[furry convention]] titled Fur Affinity: United! (commonly abbreviated as FA:U) at the Ramada Newark Airport International (now Wyndham Garden Hotel Newark Airport) in [[Wikipedia:Newark, New Jersey|Newark, New Jersey]]. The convention drew 310 attendees, with 25 fursuiters participating in the fursuit parade. The convention was a success and a hit among con goers, so much that another one followed that next year on August 1-3 2008, meeting with an equal amount of success. Although no official announcements have been made regarding of a future FA:U, [[Dragoneer]] (among others) has confirmed that a FA:U 2009 is presently in the works.<ref>http://forums.furaffinity.net/showthread.php?t=26880 Thread by D'hll'k on the FA forums with a response from Dragoneer himself</ref>

The convention did not come without a flaw:

==== 2007 breach ====
On 11 August 2007, The Dragoneer's admin account was compromised at [[FA: United‎]] when he used the hotel's unencrypted [[Wikipedia:Wi-fi|Wi-Fi]] connection to access it.<ref>http://www.furaffinityforums.net/showthread.php?tid=11488 Thread by Preyfar on the FA forums about the August 2007 breach</ref><ref>http://www.furaffinityforums.net/showthread.php?tid=11484&pid=195037#pid195037 Post by Preyfar on the FA forums with a more elaborate account of the 2007 breach</ref>The first sign of trouble was a note left on the front page that announced the following:
{{q|''Administrator notice: We're sorry, our vaginas are currently full of sand. We're makin' pearls here, folks! :D! FA:U rocks. We all got handjobs from [[Glaide]] and [[Damaratus]]. -- hacked by [[jheryn]]''}}
Assurances were made that the password database had not been compromised, and the main site came back online 48 hours later. The FA forums were not affected.

=== 2008 hardware fault ===
On 1 July 2008, the main site of Fur Affinity was taken offline again due to a "server hardware fault",<ref>[http://forums.furaffinity.net/showthread.php?t=22182 "Server Hardware Fault"] (2008, July 1). Dragoneer, Fur Affinity Forum.</ref> to be replaced by an image of Fender angrily stomping his computer followed by a notice about the failure and a link to that forum thread. By 7 July, Fur Affinity's members had donated $16,000-$18,000 to solve the issue,<ref>FA Forums: [http://forums.furaffinity.net/showthread.php?t=22182&page=120 ''Server Hardware Fault''], page 120, post #1786 by [[Artie]] reads ''"$10,477.15 via Amazon, plus over $6,000 via PayPal. So, '''over $16,477.15 total''' so far."'' on July 6th 2008, 5:35PM EST</ref><ref>FA Forums: [http://forums.furaffinity.net/showthread.php?t=22411 ''Public Donation and Expenditures Log, Please.''], page 1, post #15 by [[Seppel]] (based on an official file published by Dragoneer [http://forums.furaffinity.net/attachment.php?attachmentid=3481&d=0 here]) reads ''"I checked the budget Dragoneer posted. $18,000 is more than twice FA has ever had. ''[...]'' $18,000 will go far. Very far."'' (7 July 2008, 9:03AM EST)</ref> and Dragoneer posted on the FA forums that a new server, an HP ProLiant quad-core Opteron code-named ''Trogdor'' had been ordered.

On July 14, the order for ''Trogdor'' was canceled due to confirmed issues with the vendor. The final hardware order was:
*'''Data Server''' - Dell Poweredge 2970 2U Server, 32GB RAM
*'''Storage Array''' - 14 1TB hard drives
*'''DB Server Upgrades''' - 24GB additional RAM
*'''Web Server''' - Sun Fire x4150 1U Server, 4GB RAM

Fur Affinity resumed operation on 5 August 2008 at 11:30pm EST in read-only mode. The site was stable again with all options and features prior to the outage by 9:20am EST the next day. Since the prolonged outage, admins have gone out of their way to assure users that subsequent outages wouldn't be as bad or as lengthy as "the August incident", or "Augustgate". <ref>[http://twitter.com/furaffinity/status/6280557497]</ref>

=== July 2009 outage and IRC bans ===

On 29 July 2009, Fur Affinity suffered a temporary service outage (later found to be due to a power failure caused by lightning<ref>http://forums.furaffinity.net/showpost.php?p=1105765&postcount=3</ref>). During the confusion, FA forum moderator [[Carenath]] accused members of the [[FurNet (IRC)|FurNet]] [[IRC]] channel #hackfurs of causing the outage, resulting in multiple people residing in both #furaffinity and #hackfurs being banned.<ref><pre>(Chat logs truncated to remove noise. More bans than shown were handed out, but not all shown to maintain readability.)
00:40:24 <Carenath> *points a finger at #hackfurs*
00:41:14 <Carenath> Well, put two and two together... people in that channel,
have axes to grind against FA and if it was an outside cause..
I'd blame them first.
00:41:39 <Carenath> Meredith: they did it before.
00:42:37 * Pi (~pi@fur-9F1E9EA1.tcct.nmt.edu) has joined #furaffinity
00:42:38 * ChanServ sets ban on *!*pi@fur-9F1E9EA1.tcct.nmt.edu
00:42:38 * ChanServ has kicked Pi from #furaffinity (User has been banned from the channel)
00:44:26 <Carenath> Meredith: Im not an FA Admin.
00:44:58 <Carenath> FAF forum mod.
00:46:00 * ChanServ has kicked Meredith from #furaffinity (Requested (Pinkatron))
00:46:02 * Meredith (~arcturus@fur-71797932.hsd1.pa.comcast.net) has joined #furaffinity
00:46:02 * ChanServ sets ban on *!*arcturus@fur-71797932.hsd1.pa.comcast.net
00:46:02 * ChanServ has kicked Meredith from #furaffinity (User has been banned from the channel)</pre></ref> FA admin [[Pinkuh]] is believed to have performed the bans, due to the request notice on Meredith's kick message. Despite an admission that the accusation was mere speculation, Pinkuh did not revoke the bans until the following day. Carenath reported apologized for his remarks later.

Some who questioned the decision were temporarily banned from FurNet by network administrator [[Snowpony]],<ref><pre>23:52 -!- Snowpony [admin@alicorn.furnet.org] has joined #furaffinity
23:54 -!- Pi_ [~pi@u15354709.onlinehome-server.com] has quit [User has been banned from FurNet (Ban Evasion)]
23:56 -!- GHDA [~GHDA@pool-173-79-208-221.washdc.fios.verizon.net] has quit [User has been banned from FurNet (Trolling is bad m'kay?)]</pre></ref> who cited "trolling and previous conduct." These bans were initially made without a reason, a violation of the FurNet code of conduct; those questioning them also received threats of being banned.<ref><pre>01:38 < Snowpony> omiiko: for trolling and previous conduct. That enough for you?
01:39 <+AFKobura> Snowpony apparently someone tried private message with the
specific admin and they were turned away with a threat of being klined themselves
01:39 < Snowpony> AFKobura: and?
01:39 <+omiiko> Snowpony: I'd prefer if the Admins followed their own CoC and
placed the ban reason in the actual *line
01:40 < Snowpony> omiiko: Sure - I'll go update the ban then.
01:44 < Snowpony> Bobbluejay: I've answered your questions - they can log back in 24 hours.</pre></ref>

=== November/December 2009 outage ===

Fur Affinity experienced an outage starting on 30 November 2009, when the site's ISP experienced technical difficulties due to broken fiber optic cables.<ref>''[http://community.livejournal.com/furaffinity/211143.html Oh, and you thought your cable outages were annoying?]'' - [[Net-Cat]], {{lj-comm|furaffinity}} (30 November 2009)</ref> By 2 December, the ISP still hadn't responded to FA staff email. The site's Twitter channel noted that staff were to visit the co-location facility later that day to investigate the issue. They also announced tentative plans to switch to a new facility, maybe even in Canada,<ref>''[http://community.livejournal.com/furaffinity/211348.html 02/Dec]'' - [[The Dragoneer]], {{lj-comm|furaffinity}} (2 December 2009)</ref> but eventually settled on a new host offering 25% more bandwidth that is still in Virginia.<ref>''[http://community.livejournal.com/furaffinity/211725.html It looks like we're planning to bring the site up Monday night]'' - [[The Dragoneer]], {{lj-comm|furaffinity}} (4 December 2009)</ref> Fur Affinity has since came back online with the forums first on Tuesday, December 8 <ref>''[http://community.livejournal.com/furaffinity/212707.html 08/Dec]'' - [[thevirtualcat]], {{lj-comm|furaffinity}} (8 December 2009)</ref> and the rest of the site returned to full use at around 12:30 AM EST, Wednesday, December 9. <ref>''[http://community.livejournal.com/furaffinity/212707.html 09/Dec]'' - [[The Dragoneer]], {{lj-comm|furaffinity}} (9 December 2009)</ref><ref>''[http://twitter.com/furaffinity/status/6489402972 Furaffinity Tweet Announcing the Site is Back]'' - [[The Dragoneer]] - [http://twitter.com/furaffinity Furaffinity Twitter Page] (9 December 2009)</ref>

===2010 features===
In March 2010, [[DeviantART]]-like profile ID images, in which one could post an image as a persistent identification badge (often containing basic information such as a name, date of birth, and likes/dislikes), were enabled for Fur Affinity user profile pages.

On April 17, the embedding of [[YouTube]] and other external [[wikipedia:Adobe Flash|Adobe Flash]]-based videos within journal posts was enabled. Embeds of videos are visible within post pages but are rendered as their respective URL text links when one sees the most recent journal post in the profile page.

==Controversies==
=== Pornographic cub art ===

August 2006 saw the restart of an internal administrative debate over the presence of [[pornographic]] underage furry artwork (or "[[cub]] art").<ref>''"[http://dragonmyr.deviantart.com/journal/10641590/ DA account reactivated -- FA Truths revealed]"''. Posted by [[Myr]] on November 6, 2006 and deleted several days after.</ref> Such art was forbidden by the site's Terms of Service, which specified that "depictions of sexually immature characters in any sexual situation are not permitted on Fur Affinity", but bans for this rule were not uniformly enforced. As with previous discussions, administrators could not come to an agreement on whether or not to modify site policy.<ref>[http://www.furaffinityforums.net/showthread.php?tid=4335&pid=63174#pid63174 Comment by The Dragoneer on previous attempts to solve the cub debate]. Posted on November 6, 2006.</ref> Over the following months the issue developed into a public debate, with forum polls and discussion suggesting that the site's members were divided on the topic.

On November 5, it was announced that such work would be allowed, with the requirement of mandatory tagging. The main reasons given for this decision were that no actual minors were harmed during the artwork's creation, and that depictions of many other illegal activities, such as rape, murder, and drug use, were permitted. Conversely, work that depicted [[human]] children, including [[anime characters]], in sexual situations was forbidden.<ref>''"[http://forums.furaffinity.net/showthread.php?t=3965 ''FA Policy Notice - "Cub" Art'']"''. Posted by The Dragoneer on November 5, 2006.</ref> Non-photorealistic art depicting minors is no longer forbidden (current policy on this point is merely that submissions "shall not violate the law of the United States of America, be it State or Federal.") Some artists had threatened to leave the site if it was not forbidden, and some of these did so.{{fact}}

On November 24th 2010, [[Dragoneer]] officially changed site policy to: "''FA does not permit content containing minors involved in sexual situations. This applies to humans (Loli, Shota) or otherwise human-like characters (i.e. Cub) who are, without question, under the general legal age (18). ''", due to AlertPay (their funding) dropping them, citing mature cub art as the reason. Artists were given 21 days to clean their galleries, and cub artists were given protection from harassment. A mild riot occurred, with several artists nuking their galleries, and migrating to [[Sofurry]] or [[Inkbunny]]. It even escalated to the point where [[Dragoneer]] and other admins received death threats from disgruntled artists.{{fact}}

=== 2008 Thanksgiving banner ===

[[Image:ThanksgivingFA.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Rednef and Fender's Thanksgiving banner]]
The November 2008 Thanksgiving banner featured pictures of community mascots [[Rednef]] and [[Fender]] depicted as immensely obese after a turkey meal, to the point of resembling [[inflation]] art. Some FA users complained about the nature of the image as being "tasteless", "disgusting", a "fucking fetish", "shit", etc...<ref>[http://forums.furaffinity.net/showthread.php?t=31483 "''New Banner is tastless and disgusting''," original 2008 Thanksgiving banner discussion]</ref>, often referencing the fact that the artist's gallery was full of fat fetish pictures.

Counter-arguments against this initial argument, such as "there are fat people in real life", "fat isn't necessarily a fetish", "eating lots is kinda connected with this time of year", "it's just up for a day anyway," had no effect in dissuading the initial users, so after almost a dozen threads with neither the "for" nor "against" sides of the disagreement demonstrating any ability to come to an acceptable decision over the image, FA administrators replaced the image with the initial November Fall themed banner to stem the bad blood running though the archives and forum.<ref>[http://forums.furaffinity.net/showthread.php?t=31532&highlight=removed Thread discussing the banner removal]</ref>

By late Thanksgiving day, The banner was replaced with plain text reading "FurAffinity.net"; however new threads appeared complaining about the ''removal'' of the banner{{fact}} and, a few hours afterwards, it was reinstated and went on to serve its term the rest of the day.{{fact}} After which the November banner was put back in use.

In contrast, the Thanksgiving 2009 banner was a relatively harmless image of a turkey made to look like Fender being placed into an oven. This banner was still complained about, with users going so far as to claim it depicted the cooking or [[vore]] fetishes, though it is unclear how many of them were genuine complaints and how many were simply jokingly referring to the massive amount of complaints resulting from the 2008 banner.

=== Chewfox's appearance on Tyra Banks ===

:''Main article'': ''[[The Tyra Banks Show]]'' and [[Chew Fox]]

== April Fools Day ==
On [[wikipedia:April Fools Day|April Fools Day]] 2007, the FA banner depicted site mascot Fender as a busty [[female]] [[dragon]], with similar colourations to the original ferrox form and wearing his signature blue tie. The Fender account's avatar displayed the dragoness as well. Fender's appearance returned to normal after about a week, but in May 2007, it was announced that the female dragon form would become a separate character from Fender, and a second mascot for Fur Affinity, named Rednef, "Fender" backwards. Since then, Rednef has appeared on many of the monthly and holiday-based banners, either alone or with Fender.

For April Fools Day 2009, the homepage of Fur Affinity was snowing [[wikipedia:llama|llamas]]. In addition to this, two spoof additions joined the randomly displayed mini-advertisements, which featured [[wikipedia:Rick Astley|Rick Astley]] and [[wikipedia:Barack Obama|Barack Obama]]. They linked to a [[wikipedia:Rickrolling|Rickroll]] and the [[wikipedia:Rickrolling#Barack_Roll|Barack Roll]] respectively. The banners were made by [[Hiro Judgement]] and [[Alexander Grey]], although they were not credited for the work.

TLK Code

2009-06-20T05:15:35Z

Athari: linking page to itself is redundant

'''TLK Code''' is a code that in many ways resembles [[Furry code]] and [[Wikipedia:Geek Code|Geek Code]], but describes a fan of [[The Lion King]].

== History ==

The code was released in January 1997 by [[Tamarik|Trey McElveen]]. He had been working on it up to April 1998. It contained questions specific to TLK fans, such as being part of the [[First Church of Simba]] and activity on TLK-L (The Lion King mailing list), but most was copied from the Furry Code. This led to some confusion. For example, some fans think the "Transformation" section is about living in the world of The Lion King.

In May 2004 [[Athari]] took over the code. To make it up-to-date, the section related to the no longer existing First Chirch of Simba was removed, characters from new movies "[[The Lion King 2|The Lion King 2: Simba’s Pride]]" and "[[The Lion King 1 1/2|The Lion King 1½]]" were added, etc. Along with updating the code he created TLKCoder (for Windows), a piece of software to encode and decode TLK Code, which later evolved into GeekCoder capable of encoding and decoding multiple codes, including TLK Code and Furry Code. Currently the most up-to-date code is supported only by GeekCoder.

Furry code

2009-06-09T05:10:39Z

Athari: links update

The '''furry code''' is a string of characters similar in structure to the [[Wikipedia:Geek Code|Geek Code]].

== History ==

Released in June 1996, it was originally used as a [[Usenet]] shorthand of a person's [[furry]] characteristics, but can also been seen in other places, such as online [[blogs]], websites, and appended to emails.

Many of the original characteristics, such as the DOOM modifier, show the age of the code, and the code has not been significantly updated since 1998.

== Variants ==

Other furry-related fan groups have codes, such as the [[Affinity code]], [[Dragon Code]], [[TLK Code]], and [[Plush Code]]. There is also a code about sexual aspects of a furry called the [[Yiff code]].

WikiFur talk:Supporters

Athari: /* Linking support */

I found what looks like a minor issue for a particular donation. The user [[Bezel]] is listed in the "$100 and up" category, and is shown as having donated $100. However, [[WikiFur:Ledger]] only shows a donation of $96.30. GR, can you clarify which one of these number is correct? Thanks. --[[User:Dmuth|Douglas Muth]] 17:14, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
:$100 is correct, based on our accounting of what donating cost them, not on what we got. PayPal charges a fee for accounts that can accept credit card donations - this is why there is a separate account for them, so we don't get charged a fee for those people who want to pay using PayPal direct. As the ledger ''is'' a record of how much WikiFur has to spend, it records the latter amount. A bigger cost is actually the tax - as a private individual, this technically counts as income for me. Fortunately for WikiFur's account balance, I will not be deducting these taxes from the amount available. This is one reason why it is good to people to pay for stuff themselves if they have an idea and want to support it, rather than pay me and have the money taxed twice - once when they earnt it, and once when they send it to me. :-) [[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 17:27, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

::Perhaps we should record the taxes/fees on the ledger page so as to make it clearer that not all of the donated money actually made it to WikiFur. --[[User:Dmuth|Douglas Muth]] 18:40, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
:::Well, it does already have a bit at the top explaining the situation with regards to fees. Perhaps I could put the actual amount donated in the notes area? The amounts donated are noted in a comments after people's entries in the supporters list. [[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 20:46, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

:::: That's one idea. That would make it clearer why what is shown in the ledger does not necessarily match the person's donation status. However, wouldn't this make it more difficult to tally up the totals? That's one reason I had thought of having a seperate line item for taxes and fees incurred on a particular donation. --[[User:Dmuth|Douglas Muth]] 22:42, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
:::::I'm not sure how it would make it more difficult . . . the actual totals would continue to be from the adjusted value after fees, which would remain in the same place as it is already. The "face value" would be noted in the notes section, which is at the end of the line. This was done for example on Spirou's first donation, which mentioned the face value and the subscription. Face values should be tallied in the hidden comments on the text of the supporter page, because that's where ''they'' matter. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 23:23, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

== "Supporters" who just link to articles about themselves ==

Is a person really a supporter if they just make a link to the article about themselves? It seems like the intention is a bit of cheap promotion for them rather than a way to get more users for us. On the other hand, we probably still get some benefit from their doing so due to the way Google works . . . --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 21:46, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

:Well, I think it actually helps to gain more users rather than a generic link would. WikiFur by itself, while smaller than Wikipedia, is still somewhat intimidating to a new visitor, and they might not know how to make their own account. But when someone sees a "furiend" with their own cool little webpage, they're more inclined to try and create their own (because vanity pages are alluring), and /then/ start exploring the rest of the wiki. I have links to both my page and WikiFur.com on my LJ info, but most of the time I just link to my page, and it seems to result in at least a good number of visitors creating their own user space (like [[User:Rhudi]]).

== Linking Supporters ==

If a website (such as fursuiter.org) is defunct, should it be removed from WikiFur Linking Supporters list? Should their LinkingSupporter tag be changed to something like "Was a WikiFur Linking Supporter."? --[[User:EarthFurst|EarthFurst]] 19:16, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

== My own little entry ==

I'm already listed as ''[[User:Robomilk|Tori]] (homepage)''. However I think this, despite once being true, is now a little out of date, as it is now [[Furry Media International]] that contains the linking.

I would also prefer if the full name of [[Tori Belliachi]] were used. Tori is a little too informal for a place like WikiFur (my friends call me that). --[[User:Robomilk|Tori Belliachi]] 22:21, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

The Pride Lands Online

2007-04-16T13:29:44Z

Athari:

'''''The Pride Lands Online''''' was a web-based [[fanzine]] created by and for fans of Disney's ''[[The Lion King]]''. The webzine had 7 released issues between 1996 and 1999. It included interviews, games, artwork, stories and more all written and created by a small team of fans.

The Pride Lands Online was hosted by the editor [[Thumper]] who still hosts an archive of all the published content.

'''Pridelanders''' are [[lions]] introduced by name in the [[Disney]] DTV sequel to [[The Lion King]], "[[Simba's Pride]]", and are very popular in the Lion King fandom. The term is used to describe any good lion. Pridelanders are normally golden lions with red manes with pink or brown wedge-shaped noses. They also have two-colored masks over their eyes.

Outlander

2007-04-16T13:23:47Z

Athari:

'''Outlanders''' are [[lions]] introduced by the [[Disney]] DTV sequel to [[The Lion King]], "[[Simba's Pride]]", and are very popular in the Lion King fandom.

Their male designs derive from that of [[Scar]]'s, but the females look remarkably like Pridelander females.
==Appearance==
Outlanders, referred to in the movie only as "Outsiders", even by themselves, are portrayed as dark lions that usually have pointed, black noses, although they may very well have pointed pink noses or rounded triangular noses. The Pridelanders, the golden lions with red manes, have pink or brown wedge-shaped noses.

===Males===

Outlander males have brown or orange fur, pointed black noses, and black manes. They do not have two-colored masks over their eyes like the Pridelanders or female Outlanders, but rather a dark brown. They also have a tendancy to have brilliant green eyes, and [[Kovu]] and Scar both have scars over their left eyes. This scar is also applied to fan characters, such as [[Kisasian]].

===Females===

Outlander females look very much like the Pridelander females, but often have pointed or triangular noses and tan or grey fur as well as dark masks like those of [[Vitani]]'s.

Did you revert to the out of date version of [[Tori]]? The information, images and one of the three links were all out of date! {{unsigned|Robomilk}}
:My bad; I saw you had removed the contributor template from [[User:Robomilk]] and the same on [[Tori]], and rather than noticing all the other changes, I selectively saw just the removed tags.

:For one, it has no categories. Two, the image at the bottom would be better placed as right-aligned alongside the mascot text.

[[User:SpazKitty|Spaz Kitty]] 16:04, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

::Categories? I am afraid that I do not understand what you mean, considering that it seems that the article is already organized in such a manner. Perhaps you could be a little more specific? As for the mascot image, I have tried to right-align it several times, but I cannot do so without interrupting the following, unrelated section. Is there a way to do this without interfering into an inappropriate section, or should I do so regardless? --[[User:RabidFox|RabidFox]] 05:59, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

== Changing username? ==

I was wondering if it was possible to wipe out the names Rapture, Kiralea, and Rapytur. I sort of need to do a complete overhaul (perhaps even change my log in name as well) since I don't GO by Rapture anymore (too old of a name and I didn't even make it up.. I wanted to name my character / alias to something that I made :D not something a friend made for me). So yeah... if you could help me out, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks for your time! {{unsigned|Rapture}}

:We don't generally "wipe out" anything; assuming you don't want your articles completely erased (content-wise), then those names will still serve as redirects, and likely be included as a '____ was formerly known as...' note in the new article. You're free, however, to redo your current article as you see fit to reflect these changes, and an admin can move the page to your new name once you've decided. As for changing your username, click the "my preferences" link in the upper right hand corner and you can change your nickname there. [[User:SpazKitty|Spaz Kitty]] 16:10, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Actually I wanted the pages completely wiped if it was okay with you. :D I really want to remake everything. And I meant if I could change the username. Sorry! Not trying to be a pain in the butt but I sort of gave my designs a complete overhaul.

== Athari ==

Thanks for correcting mistakes and making the article more encyclopedic. :-) However, I have a few questions.

Are there’re any rules on using quotes and apostrophes? I prefer to use curved quotes (“”, ‘’, «») instead of straight (", ') as they look more pretty. Should only straight ones be used on WikiFur? The same question on dashes: should en-dashes and em-dashes (–, —) be used or hyphen (-)? If I remember correctly, WikiPedia permits both styles.

I think the link to the Snow Lands needs some description, the name of the site doesn’t give any hints on its contents. It can be just “home site of Athari,” for example.

''> The nick “Athari” is Swahili word → The name "Athari" … ''

It’s nick, not name… [[User:Athari|Athari]] 11:14, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

2007-04-15T16:46:10Z

Athari:

'''TLK Code''' in many ways resembles [[Furry code]] and [[Wikipedia:Geek Code|Geek Code]], but describes fan of [[The Lion King]].

== History ==

The code was released in January 1997 by Trey McElveen. He had been working on it up to April 1998. It contained questions specific to TLK fans: being part of the [[First Church of Simba]], activity on TLK-L (The Lion King mailing list); but mostly was copied from the Furry Code. This led to some confusion, for example some fans think “Transformation” section is about living in the world of The Lion King.

In May 2004 [[Athari]] took over the code. To make it up-to-date, the section of no longer existing First Chirch of Simba was removed, characters from new movies “[[Wikipedia:The Lion King 2|The Lion King 2: Simba’s Pride]]” and “[[The Lion King 1 1/2|The Lion King 1½]]” were added etc. Along with updating the code he created TLKCoder (for Windows), piece of software to encode and decode TLK Code, which later evolved into GeekCoder capable of encoding and decoding multiple codes, including TLK Code and Furry Code. Currently the most up-to-date code is supported only by GeekCoder.

Yiff code

Athari:

'''Yiff Code''' is a string of characters similar in structure to the [[Wikipedia:Geek Code|Geek Code]], and based on the [[Furry code]].

== History ==

Created by [[Locandez]] on December 1st, 1997, it is similar to the "furry code", which is used as a [[Usenet]] shorthand of a person's [[furry]] characteristics, but instead it mainly concerns mainly of the sexual aspects of the user.

The Yiff Code was originally going to be a [[furry lifestyler]] code, but Locandez decided that categorizing a person's sexuality with a string of characters was easier than doing the same with, for example, their [[spirituality|spiritual belief]]s or furry mannerisms.

The original Yiff Code had several categories. These were [[plushophilia]], [[zoophilia]], [[toonophilia]], [[fursuit]]ophilia, [[TinySex]] and [[mundane]] sex. Each one contains subcategories, such as sexual orientation, [[macrophilia]] and [[microphilia]], as well as being able to pick one's prefered species.

== Variants ==

There are many versions of this.{{fact}} One version on a forum on [[Yiffstar]] allows users to compare other Yiff Codes using the same system.{{fact}}

TLK Code

2007-04-15T16:29:17Z

Athari:

'''TLK Code''' in many ways resembles [[Furry code]] and [[Wikipedia:Geek Code|Geek Code]], but describes fan of [[The Lion King]]. It was released in January 1997 by Trey McElveen. He had been working on it up to April 1998. It contained questions specific to TLK fans: being part of the [[First Church of Simba]], activity on TLK-L (The Lion King mailing list); but mostly was copied from the Furry Code. This led to some confusion, for example some fans think “Transformation” section is about living in the world of The Lion King.

In May 2004 [[Athari]] took over the code. To make it up-to-date, the section of no longer existing First Chirch of Simba was removed, characters from new movies “[[Wikipedia:The Lion King 2|The Lion King 2: Simba’s Pride]]” and “[[The Lion King 1 1/2|The Lion King 1½]]” were added etc. Along with updating the code he created TLKCoder (for Windows), piece of software to encode and decode TLK Code, which later evolved into GeekCoder capable of encoding and decoding multiple codes, including TLK Code and Furry Code. Currently the most up-to-date code is supported only by GeekCoder.
