Furcation has been pitched as an event for those seeking an alternative to the convention format and for those who are looking for a cheaper and more relaxing event to attend.

==2016==
[[File:FurcationBanner.png|right|300px|Furcation 2016]]
===Pricing===
Tickets for '''Furcation 2016''' started from £47.00 rising to £159.00 depending on the chalet option chosen and number of people sharing. Furcation 2016 also offered an attendance only ticket which gave unlimited access to the event for £20 for the entire weekend.

===History===
Furcation was originally scheduled to take place over September 11-14, 2015,<ref name="FurcationWebsite">[http://furcation.org.uk/ Furcation website]. Retrieved February 21, 2015.</ref> at Warrens Holiday Village in [[w:Clevedon|Clevedon]], North Somerset, England.<ref name="FurcationWebsite"/> Due to difficulties with the planned venue, the convention was cancelled for 2015 with the staff expressing the hope to put together an event for 2016.<ref>[http://furcation.org.uk/Postponement Furcation 2015 cancelled/postponed], undated announcement by Jasper Foxx, retrieved June 28, 2015</ref>

Furcation 2016 took place over the weekend of October 14-17 2016 at the John Fowler Combe Martin Beach holiday park in Combe Martin.

[[File:Furry Raiders Second Life armpatch.jpg|right|thumb|Furry Raiders' Second Life armband]]
=== Association with Fascist imagery, Nazism, the Alt-Right, and the Furry Raiders ===

Foxler is a founder and CEO of the [[Furry Raiders]],<ref name="FRFA">[https://www.furaffinity.net/user/furryraiders Furryraiders's profile] on Fur Affinity. Retrieved April 24, 2017.</ref><ref>[http://www.furryraiders.org/about "Crew"] - on the [[Furry Raiders]] official website.

Retrieved April 24, 2017.</ref><ref>http://www.denverpost.com/2017/04/11/rocky-mountain-fur-con-canceled/</ref> This late 2010s logo version was designed by Foxler,<ref name="FAQ"/> based on the [[Furzi]]'s late 2000s Second Life armband logo.

Foxler has also been criticized for tagging a [[Fur Affinity]] submission of his character's [[reference sheet]] as "Nazi" and "Furzi" and referring to himself as such,<ref name="Pounced"/><ref name="T1">https://twitter.com/Lumaberry/status/706960490228883457</ref> performing a [[W:Nazi salute|Nazi salute]] in fursuit for a photograph,<ref name="T1"/> using a modified version of the [[W:Reichskriegsflagge#Use during the Third Reich, 1933–45|Nazi Imperial War Flag]] with the [[W:Swastika|swastika]] replaced with a paw and the [[W:Iron Cross|Iron Cross]] replaced with a fox head design,<ref name="T2">https://twitter.com/KingSmiggles/status/854070021865209856</ref> paying money to join a [[W:Neo-Nazism|Neo-Nazi]] group,<ref>https://twitter.com/DeoTasDevil/status/855604541135478784</ref> stating that he hates Black people and would rally for the [[W:Ku Klux Klan|Ku Klux Klan]],<ref name="T2"/> saying "I stand with [[W:Adolf Hitler|Hitler]]",<ref name="T2"/> and referring to himself as "Foxler the Hitler of Furry Fandom",<ref>https://disqus.com/home/discussion/returnofkings/international_meetup_day_after_action_report/#comment-2498176312</ref><ref>https://disqus.com/home/discussion/returnofkings/announcement_the_meetup_on_february_6_is_cancelled/#comment-2496029574</ref><ref>https://archive.is/U7V3g</ref> in addition to associating himself with the [[W:Alternative right|"alt right"]], a term popularized by [[W:White supremacy|white supremacist]] [[W:Richard B. Spencer|Richard B. Spencer]].<ref>https://twitter.com/starfoxACEFOX/status/825041509703643136</ref>

Though Foxler is of mixed-Thai ancestry, this behavior has been criticized as "aping the forms, [[W:Nazi chic|fashions]], conduct, and politics of the Nazis".<ref>http://www.flayrah.com/6903/rocky-mountain-fur-con-canceled-following-neo-nazi-associations-tax-irregularities?page=1#comment-68039</ref>

=== Foxtrot Club ban ===

In 2016, the Furry Raiders were asked not to wear their armbands to attend [[Foxtrot Club]] events, a fursuit-friendly dance night in a Denver club. Foxler chose to wear the armband to the club anyway, and allegedly assaulted somebody or was assaulted on the way out after being asked to leave, and so was permanently banned from all future Foxtrot events.<ref>https://twitter.com/FoxTrotClub/status/720402676417036290</ref>

Foxler has commented that "dressing up as a cute [[fox]]" allows him to "trap" people and get their guard down, "even children".<ref>http://imgur.com/a/Sp1kP</ref>

On April 3, 2019, Foxler was arrested for [https://definitions.uslegal.com/c/child-enticement%20/ Enticement of a child] by the [https://www.fcgov.com/police/ Fort Collins police department],<ref>[[:File:Foxler-arrested.png]]</ref><ref>

Hi there! I'm '''Cosmo'''. I'm a software developer, maker (electronics, model/mechanical engineering and software) and amateur photographer.

You can find my photos on [http://www.flickr.com/philpem my Flickr account], and there are some more (and some character art) on [http://www.weasyl.com/profile/suburbanfox/ my Weasyl account].

==Fan activities==

I'm a regular on the UK con circuit, and somehow managed to attend every UK convention (JFTW, ScotiaCon, Furcation and ConFuzzled) in 2018. I've also been to [[Midwest Furfest]], [[Nordic FuzzCon]] and [[Eurofurence]].

I help out with the [[LeedsFurs]] meets, and a member of the [[Furcation]] staff.

==Conventions==
=== Past ===
* [[ConFuzzled]] 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, (2-year break), 2018
* [[Eurofurence]] 2014, 2016, 2017
* [[Just Fur The Weekend]] 2017, 2018
* [[Midwest FurFest]] 2014
* [[Nordic FuzzCon]] 2018
* [[ScotiaCon]] 2015, 2017, 2018

=== Planned/booked ===
* [[ConFuzzled]] 2019
* [[Nordic FuzzCon]] 2019

==Fursuiting==
I own far too many fursuits.

* '''Cosmo''' is a snow leopard -- there are two versions of this suit, the retired "realistic" version built by Faruku, and a newer "toony" version made by Snow Gryphon Suits.
* He originally debuted (in realistic form) at ConFuzzled 2013.
* The toony version debuted at Nordic FuzzCon 2018 as a partial ("Cosmo, as the British Rail Guard"), then as a fullsuit at ConFuzzled later that year.
* '''Chaos''' is a blue pangon -- half red panda, half Eastern dragon. He's a natural trickster with a tail that's taller than he is.
* '''Syrrus''' is a fox -- the current version of him was built by several makers. Snow Gryphon made the head, the tail and feet were made by Faruku, the paws by Rae/Scotik and the digitigrade bodysuit by Zan/FursuitsUK.
* There's a retired earlier version of this suit which was built by Apes and debuted at the LondonFurs meet on October 13th 2012. Sadly this suit is no longer in wearable condition.

==Fursona character cameos==
Syrrus has featured in cameo roles in several online comics:
* Ginpu -- as a background extra in [http://www.ginpu.us/2012/07/20/creep-creep/ this strip]
* Precocious -- as a TV newsreader in [http://www.precociouscomic.com/archive/comic/2011/06/08 the 8th June 2011 strip])
* The Cyantian Chronicles -- in the "Darius" arc as a technician aboard the dropship
* As an "extra" in some of Jan/Tigerknight's artwork and comics

2019-02-08T00:57:16Z

CosmoSnowmew: /* 2018 */ this has already happened! also add 2019

[[File:FurcationBanner.png|right|300px]]
'''Furcation''' is an [[open format]] furry event that takes place <ref name="Tweet1">[https://twitter.com/Furcationevent/status/704758304657022976 Tweet] on the Furcation account on [[Twitter]]. Dated March 1, 2016. Retrieved March 3, 2016.</ref> at the Combe Martin Beach Holiday park in Combe Martin, North Devon, UK.<ref name="Tweet1"/> Described as "[[w:Pontins|Pontins]]/[[w:Butlins|Butlins]] for Furries!",<ref name="About"/> Furcation offers accommodation in chalets and caravans that can cater from 1-6 people with various different luxury options.

Furcation has been pitched as an event for those seeking an alternative to the convention format and for those who are looking for a cheaper and more relaxing event to attend.

==2016==
===Pricing===
Tickets for Furcation 2016 started from £47.00 rising to £159.00 depending on the chalet option chosen and number of people sharing. Furcation 2016 also offered an attendance only ticket which gave unlimited access to the event for £20 for the entire weekend.

The event has received good reviews from both attendees and the venues own staff who have liked the relaxed nature of Furcation and it's balance between events and social time.

===Venue===
Noting a rise in the number of start-up conventions in the UK,<ref name="About">[http://furcation.org.uk/about About page] on the Furcation website. Retrieved February 21, 2015.</ref> the Furcation organisers wished to step as far away as possible from traditional furry conventions. Hence, instead of being based in a hotel, Furcation looked towards the exclusive use of a holiday camp for the duration of the event.

For 2016, Furcation was based at the Combe Martin Beach Holiday Park in North Devon owned by John Fowler Holidays.

(hi Greenreaper, can you change my username to CosmoSnowmew please? :3 )

Hi there! I'm '''Cosmo'''. I'm a software developer, electronics and mechanical engineering hobbyist, webserver administrator (using cPanel/WHM on Linux) and amateur photographer (predominantly wildlife and nature, but also fursuit/furmeet photography).

My FurAffinity username is [http://www.furaffinity.net/user/SuburbanFox/ SuburbanFox], although I previously had another account (used solely for watching) under a different username.

I also have a Weasyl account. My username is, once again, [http://www.weasyl.com/profile/suburbanfox/ SuburbanFox]

==Fan activities==
I regularlarly attend the NorthernFurs Leeds meets and mini meets (my first was the October 2011 Leeds Main Meet). I have been known to venture further afield for other meets, e.g. the June 2012 Sheffield Main Meet.

==Conventions==
=== Past ===
* [[ConFuzzled]] 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015
* [[Eurofurence]] 2014
* [[Midwest FurFest]] 2014

==Fursuiting==
I own two fursuits.

My first fursuit depicts my fursona character, also known as Syrrus. There are two versions of this suit:
* The current version is made from parts built by several fursuit makers: the head was made by Snow Gryphon Fursuits, the handpaws and arms by Raes_Suits, and the tail (and soon feet) by Faruku.
* The first version was built by Apes and debuted at the LondonFurs meet on October 13th 2012, followed by the October 2012 NorthernFurs Leeds Main Meet. This version was retired in 2013.

My second fursuit is "Cosmo the Snow Leopard" and was built by Faruku. It debuted at ConFuzzled 2013 with sightings reported at York and Manchester furmeets.

==Fursona character cameos==
My fursona character has had cameo roles (usually non-speaking) in several online comics, including Ginpu (as a background extra in [http://www.ginpu.us/2012/07/20/creep-creep/ this strip]), Precocious (as a TV newsreader in [http://www.precociouscomic.com/archive/comic/2011/06/08 the 8th June 2011 strip]) and the "Darius" arc of the Cyantian Chronicles (in a speaking role as "Syrrus", a technician aboard the dropship). It should be noted that these cameos are treated as "non-canon" for the character.

Seadragom

2019-02-07T23:42:04Z

CosmoSnowmew:

'''Seadragom''' (also known as '''CD Seadragom'''), is a [[fursuiter]] who likes trains, memes and thinking dragons. He is not, contrary to popular belief, from the sea, as his name might imply.

He is reputed to be the same person as [[ViperKuroshiro]] (Viper / GradientDragon)

CosmoSnowmew: more tweaks to userboxes, update fursuit section

{{ContributorU}}
__NOTOC__
{{Infobox person

|image = [[File:SuburbanFox_SmallAvatar.gif]]

Hi there! I'm '''SuburbanFox'''. I'm a software developer, electronics and mechanical engineering hobbyist, webserver administrator (using cPanel/WHM on Linux) and amateur photographer (predominantly wildlife and nature, but also fursuit/furmeet photography).

My FurAffinity username is [http://www.furaffinity.net/user/SuburbanFox/ SuburbanFox], although I previously had another account (used solely for watching) under a different username.

I also have a Weasyl account. My username is, once again, [http://www.weasyl.com/profile/suburbanfox/ SuburbanFox]

==Fan activities==
I regularlarly attend the NorthernFurs Leeds meets and mini meets (my first was the October 2011 Leeds Main Meet). I have been known to venture further afield for other meets, e.g. the June 2012 Sheffield Main Meet.

==Conventions==
=== Past ===
* [[ConFuzzled]] 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015
* [[Eurofurence]] 2014
* [[Midwest FurFest]] 2014

==Fursuiting==
I own two fursuits.

My first fursuit depicts my fursona character, also known as Syrrus. There are two versions of this suit:
* The current version is made from parts built by several fursuit makers: the head was made by Snow Gryphon Fursuits, the handpaws and arms by Raes_Suits, and the tail (and soon feet) by Faruku.
* The first version was built by Apes and debuted at the LondonFurs meet on October 13th 2012, followed by the October 2012 NorthernFurs Leeds Main Meet. This version was retired in 2013.

My second fursuit is "Cosmo the Snow Leopard" and was built by Faruku. It debuted at ConFuzzled 2013 with sightings reported at York and Manchester furmeets.

==Fursona character cameos==
My fursona character has had cameo roles (usually non-speaking) in several online comics, including Ginpu (as a background extra in [http://www.ginpu.us/2012/07/20/creep-creep/ this strip]), Precocious (as a TV newsreader in [http://www.precociouscomic.com/archive/comic/2011/06/08 the 8th June 2011 strip]) and the "Darius" arc of the Cyantian Chronicles (in a speaking role as "Syrrus", a technician aboard the dropship). It should be noted that these cameos are treated as "non-canon" for the character.

Hi there! I'm '''SuburbanFox'''. I'm a software developer, electronics and mechanical engineering hobbyist, webserver administrator (using cPanel/WHM on Linux) and amateur photographer (predominantly wildlife and nature, but also fursuit/furmeet photography).

My FurAffinity username is [http://www.furaffinity.net/user/SuburbanFox/ SuburbanFox], although I previously had another account (used solely for watching) under a different username.

I also have a Weasyl account. My username is, once again, [http://www.weasyl.com/profile/suburbanfox/ SuburbanFox]

==Fan activities==
I regularlarly attend the NorthernFurs Leeds meets and mini meets (my first was the October 2011 Leeds Main Meet). I have been known to venture further afield for other meets, e.g. the June 2012 Sheffield Main Meet.

==Conventions==

==Fursuiting==
I own two fursuits.

My first fursuit depicts my fursona character, also known as Syrrus. It was built by Apes and debuted at the LondonFurs meet on October 13th 2012, followed by the October 2012 NorthernFurs Leeds Main Meet.

My second fursuit is "Cosmo the Snow Leopard" and was built by Faruku. It debuted at ConFuzzled 2013 with sightings reported at York and Manchester furmeets.

==Fursona character cameos==
My fursona character has had cameo roles (usually non-speaking) in several online comics, including Ginpu (as a background extra in [http://www.ginpu.us/2012/07/20/creep-creep/ this strip]), Precocious (as a TV newsreader in [http://www.precociouscomic.com/archive/comic/2011/06/08 the 8th June 2011 strip]) and the "Darius" arc of the Cyantian Chronicles (in a speaking role as "Syrrus", a technician aboard the dropship).

CosmoSnowmew: Update re. disbanding of NorthernFurs

:''For other definitions of '''Northern Furs''', please see the [[Northern Furs|disambiguation page]].


[[Image:Nflogo.png|right|The Northern Furs Logo]]
The '''NorthernFurs''' was a large group of furs that lived in the northern region of the [[wikipedia:United Kingdom|United Kingdom]]. It was created in late 2000 and disbanded in early 2013<ref>[http://www.northernfurs.org.uk/ "So long and thanks for all the fish"]. Retrieved 2013 Jul 04.</ref>.

The region classified as being under NorthernFurs ''control'' spanned the north of England from the Mersey and the Welsh borders in the west, up to the East Ridings and the Humber in the east. This area is now covered by separate meet groups: [[LeedsFurs]] (Leeds), [[MancFurs]] (Manchester),[[ScouseFurs]] (Liverpool), [[SheffieldFurs]] (Sheffield) and [[TyneFurs]] (Newcastle).

*'''Addresses''':
**'''Website''': http://www.northernfurs.org.uk/
**'''Mailing list''': http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NorthernFurs/
**'''IRC''': [irc://irc.furnet.org/northernfurs #NorthernFurs] on [[FurNet (IRC)|FurNet]]

The NorthernFurs hold regular [[furmeet]]s each month in different cities across the region. Currently with a schedule to visit each of its six major cities twice a year. As of 2009, these alternate between East and West, going to Chester, York, Liverpool, Leeds, Manchester and Sheffield in that order. There are also semi-regular spiritual meets where the theme is connected more to exploring the spiritual side of furry rather than the social aspect. Smaller [[mini-meet]]s and/or [[coffee meet]]s are also held in other cities across the North. Based on attendance, the most popular meet is in [[wikipedia:Manchester, United Kingdom|Manchester]] with over 150 reported attendees{{fact}}, attracting furs from around the country. [[wikipedia:Sheffield|Sheffield]] being the second-biggest city, with around 100+ attendees.

NorthernFurs' IRC channel was #northukfurs. The group switched to the #northernfurs IRC channel (on the FurNet IRC network) due to "unresolvable issues with the ownership of" #northukfurs<ref>[http://irc.netsplit.de/channels/details.php?room=%23northukfurs&net=FurNet statistics of #northukfurs on FurNet IRC network] on irc.netsplit.de.

History of Fur Affinity

2013-05-17T19:48:29Z

CosmoSnowmew: /* "Exodus" */ May not be a fan of Dragoneer, but we should at least spell his name right...

{{cleanup}}
{{wikify}}
{{unref}}
{{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 [[FurPaws]].<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 (2005) ===

Fur Affinity suffered from major security holes and [[W:hacking|hacking]] during the summer of 2005. The site was shut downed 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 create [[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.

=== April Fools Day (2007) ===

On [[wikipedia:April Fools Day|April Fools' Day]] 2007, the FA banner depicted site [[mascot]] [[Fender]] as a busty [[female]] [[dragon]], with similar coloration's 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.

=== 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 [[fursuit]]ers 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 2008, meeting with an equal amount of success.

=== Server hack (2007) ===

On 11 August 2007, [[Dragoneer]]'s administrator account was compromised at [[FA: United‎]] when he used the hotel's unencrypted [[Wikipedia:Wi-fi|Wi-Fi]] connection to access it.{{fact}}
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.

=== Server problems (2008; '''Augustgate''') ===

On 1 July 2008, 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 6, 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, a 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 August 5, 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, it came to be known, "the August incident". <ref>[http://twitter.com/furaffinity/status/6280557497 ''Augustgate''] (Retrieved ?)</ref>

=== April Fools Day (2009) ===

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.

=== Server problems (July 2009)/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>

=== Server problems (November/December 2009) ===

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 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>

=== Server enhancements (2010) ===

In March 2010, [[deviantART]]-like profile ID [[image]]s, 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 [[W:URL|URL]] text links when one sees the most recent journal post in the profile page.

In October 2010, a feature was introduced, which allows the owner of a submission or journal to hide a comment given in that submission, which is also possible for the owner of the comment. In addition, administrators could hide and unhide every comment posted to any submission site wide.

=== Server hack (2010) ===

On December 17, a hacker was able to use a cross-site scripting (XSS) exploit<ref>''http://community.livejournal.com/furaffinity/213163.html'' FA Livejournal</ref> that existed in the trouble ticket system to take control of an administrator account. The site was taken offline while this was fixed, and resumed normal operations a few hours later.

The next day, an administrator's personal email account was compromised, allowing the hacker to request a password reset on FurAffinity. This time, the site was not taken offline, instead the administrators all had their admin permissions pulled, but not before the hacker was able to wipe a number of user's galleries and download the private notes of several high-profile users.
[[File:Simple Warren Bust.png|right|thumb|''Simple Warren Bust'' by Warren Duster]]
The forums were also accessed during this time and had the private Admin boards exposed to the public. FurAffinity has reported a total of 41 accounts were accessed. Dragoneer has since then apologized to those who's accounts were accessed and has offered them a free sponsorship-level membership to [[FA: United]].

It should be noted that former FA developer Eevee had mentioned<ref>[http://eevee.livejournal.com/329817.html Eevee] (Retrieved ?)</ref> the possibility that a XSS exploit existed in the trouble ticket system a few months earlier, after Eevee had demonstrated that the hide comment feature was insecure and would allow anyone to hide any comment. Critics{{who}} said that FurAffinity was well aware that the site code was vulnerable to attacks like the initial XSS exploits for years, but have been slow to fix it.{{fact}}

=== Furocity merger ===

In July 2011 Dragoneer announced that [[Furocity]] and FurAffinity would be "Joining forces"<ref>http://forums.furaffinity.net/threads/103573-Fur-Affinity-Furocity-Merger-Announcement?p=2618095#post2618095</ref>, with many members of Furocity's staff joining FurAffinity.

Over a month later, 7 members of Furocity's staff were officially brought on board without warning the existing staff<ref>http://forums.furaffinity.net/threads/105754-New-Staff-Structure-and-Admins?p=2656512&viewfull=1#post2656512</ref>, some of whom were removed from their administrator positions.{{fact}} New "departments" were created to better serve the users.

=== 10.000.000 ===

In February 24, 2013, Fur Affinity reached the milestone of 10.000.000 submitted media.<ref>[http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/4376076 ''10,000,000'' post] by Fender on his Fur Affinity account (Retrieved February 26, 2013)</ref> The file that made this possible was '''''Simple Warren Bust''''', by artist [[Warren Duster]].<ref>[http://www.furaffinity.net/view/10000000 "Simple Warren Bust" submission] by Warren Duster on his Fur Affinity account (Retrieved February 26, 2013)</ref>

== Controversy ==
=== Pornographic cub art ===

* August 2006 saw the restart of an internal administrative debate over the presence of [[pornographic]] [[W:Underage|underage]] [[furry artwork]] (or "[[cub]] art").{{fact}} Such art was forbidden by the site's [[W:TOS|Terms of Service]], which specified that "depictions of [[sex|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.{{fact}} 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 [[W:Rape|rape]], [[W:Murder|murder]], and [[W:Drug use|drug use]], were not permitted. Conversely, work that depicted [[human]] children, including [[anime characters]], in [[sexual]] situations was also 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{{who}} had threatened to leave the site if it was not forbidden, and some of these did so.{{fact}}

*On November 24 2010, [[Dragoneer]] officially changed site policy to:
{{q|FA does not permit content containing minors involved in sexual situations. This applies to humans ([[W:Loli|Loli]], [[W:Shota|Shota]]) or otherwise human-like characters (i.e. Cub) who are, without question, under the general legal age (18)}}
This was due to [[W:AlerPay|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.

This caused an uproar within the cub community, with several artists{{who}} clearing their galleries, and migrating to [[Sofurry]] or [[Inkbunny]] (although several users and artists{{who}} alike saw the cub porn removal as a positive aspect for FA, some of whom even praised Dragoneer for the decision).{{fact}}

It escalated to the point where Dragoneer and other admins received death threats from disgruntled artists.{{fact}} The ban also led furry musical comedy act [[Drama Armada]] to record the song "''Where Has All The Cub Porn Gone?''"<ref>[http://www.furaffinity.net/view/5541107 "Where Has All The Cub Porn Gone?"] (Retrieved ?)</ref> (a parody of [[w:Where Have All the Cowboys Gone?|"Where Have All The Cowboys Gone?"]] by [[w:Paula Cole|Paula Cole]]).

=== Thanksgiving banner (2008) ===
[[File: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 [[W:Obese|obese]] after a [[W:Turkey meal|turkey meal]], to the point of resembling [[inflation]] art. Some FA users{{who}} complained about the nature of the image as being "tasteless", "disgusting", a "fucking fetish", "shit", etc...,{{fact}} 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.

=== Thanksgiving banner (2009) ===

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]] [[fetish]]es, 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.

=== Former Furocity staff departure (2011) ===

In late October 2011, several{{clarify}} of the Furocity administrators brought over after the merge abruptly resigned, citing gross negligence by the original Fur Affinity, and the apparent disregard of such by Dragoneer.<ref>[http://www.furaffinity.net/user/photografuhrer [[Photografuhrer]] (former FA photography administrator) and leaving FA.] Posted on Fur Affinity. Retrieved April 26, 2013.</ref><ref>[http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/2855774/ ''good-bye'' post] by [[WritenWren]] on Fur Affinity. Posted October 27, 2011. Retrieved April 26, 2013.</ref>

Within a few weeks, [[Daemonshyai|Gavin Daemonshyai]] was the only Furocity staff member left on staff, and the original "department" system was abandoned. He was eventually removed from the administrative staff.{{clarify}}{{fact}}

Dragoneer countered that the real reason the former admins left was due to [[W:Dox|doxing]] (exposing of one's personally identifiable information) online.<ref>[http://forums.furaffinity.net/threads/109202-FA-Furocity-4-months-on.?p=2728631&viewfull=1#post2728631 ''Re: FA + Furocity: 4 months on.''] post on the Fur Affinity Forums.

=== "Aged up" guideline (2012) ===
[[File:NewSonicAgeRules.png|right|thumb|Sonic "age up" guideline diagram|300px]]
On February 8, 2012, it was announced by Sciggles that a new "age up" guideline was now in effect regarding [[Sonic]] characters' "[[cub]] art".<ref>[http://forums.furaffinity.net/threads/114609-Sonic-Guidelines-for-Mature-Adult-Images ''Guidelines for Mature/Adult Sonic Images''] (Retrieved February 8, 2012)</ref> Sexual artwork of the characters canon image would not be allowed, as they were considered, by FA staff, as cub characters.

No restrictions would be imposed on Sonic sexual material as long as the characters were "aged up" (with a diagram provided).

It was later clarified that ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic]]'' would not be covered by this rule, except for [[Baby Spike]] and the [[Cutie Mark Crusaders]], while ''[[Tiny Toons]]'' would be. No other animated shows were mentioned further on the post.

Pinkuh reiterated on the FA forums that this announcement was a reconfirmation of a "Sonic age up" policy posted on 2010 on the FA's forum.<ref>[http://forums.furaffinity.net/threads/88335-A-clarification-on-sonic-underage ''A clarification on sonic/underage''] (Retrieved February 13, 2012)</ref>

On September 7, 2012, administrators began banning artists of "aged-up" Sonic adult art.{{fact}}

=== "''Exodus''" ===

On February 16, 2013, user [[Qarrezel]] posted an opinion piece ("''Exodus''"),<ref>[http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/4343379/ ''Exodus''] post on Qarrezel's FA account (Retrieved February 15, 2013)</ref> on her Fur affinity account, where she expressed her frustration towards the apparent non-response of the Fur Affinity staff to deal with user [[Fredriksam]]'s inferred stalking behavior towards her friend and client, [[Tarangryph]].

On it, Qarrezel presented the case that not only had Fredriksam posted Tarangryph's personal information online, contacted her to try to gain more of it, and wrote disturbing sexual material involving her persona,{{fact}} but that the FA staff actually went out of the way to "punish" her by not banning the user, but by also removing all information Tarangryph had posted about her apparent stalker.<ref>[http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/4337035/ ''Leaving FA.''] post by Tarangryph on her FA account (Retrieved February 16, 2013)</ref>

The FA staff responded to the issue in several ways:

* Admin [[Qoph]] replied on the thread<ref>[http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/4343379/#cid:31837225 Qoph response on the ''Exodus''] journal entry on Fur Affinity (Retrieved February 16, 2013)</ref> that immediate action was not taken regarding Fredriksam because the original ticket was issue by a third party person (user [[Svedge]]) with no evidence, and that they did exchange information about it with Tarangryph, but wanted to discuss the situation with Dragoneer because of the serious nature of the possible offense. On the removal of Tarangryph's journal containing all the "evidence" against Fredriksam, Qoph responded that that was a "''normal action''", in compliance by FA TOS' rules.
* Admin [[Cerberusnl]] inquired Tarangryph further about the subject on her "''Leaving FA.''" journal, and reaffirming that her journal, classified as a "callout journal", was proper subject for deletion because of the TOS rules.<ref>[http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/4337035/#cid:31835764 Cerberusnl response on the ''Leaving FA.''] journal entry on Fur Affinity (Retrieved February 16, 2013)</ref>
* Dragoneer responded initially to the issue via ticket response saying that:
{{q|The admin took the right course of action in this case. I don't feel it's something to leave FA over, as if it happened on FA, it will happen on /any/ site. It's unfortunate, but a choice they have made. I'll respect that.}}
And that there was not enough solid evidence to ban the user "at that time."<ref>[http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/4344605/#cid:31841971 Dragoneer response on the ''VERY Important! This could Affect ALL FA Users''] journal entry on Fur Affinity. Retrieved February 16, 2013.</ref>

The post generated more than 1900+ responses, most of them critical to the FA staff's response (or lack of it) to the issue. A number of FA users, including Qarrezel and Tarangryph, announced that they would be leaving Fur affinity because of it. Fredriksam was eventually suspended and had his IP address blocked when some evidence of stalking behavior (creating a [[W:Sock puppet|sock puppet]] account, [[Fredriksam|Garageman]], to continue harassing Tarangryph) was posted on FA.<ref>[http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/4337035/#cid:31843461 [[Synwolf]] response on the ''Leaving FA.''] journal entry on Fur Affinity (Retrieved February 16, 2013)</ref>

Dragoneer further expanded on the controversy on two later FA posts: [http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/4356040/ ''TaranGryph, Stalking, Drama and FA.''] and [http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/4358019 ''Clarification on Off Site Content''].

CosmoSnowmew: no need for session ids in links, may leak information about the user who posted them

'''Sparky''' (full name '''Sparky Reddookami'''), also known as '''Sparky15756''' and '''TGLucario475''', '''Sparky Overland''' on [[Second Life]] (born September 17, 1990), is a red and pink [[wolf]] [[furry]] who lives in [[Wikipedia:Liverpool|Liverpool]], [[Wikipedia:Merseyside|Merseyside]], [[Wikipedia:United Kingdom|UK]].<ref>[http://steamcommunity.com/id/Sparky15756 Sparky15756] on Steam. Retrieved March 30, 2013.</ref>

== Fandom Involvement ==

In the summer of 2008 Sparky joined the [[furry]] forum [[FurNation]], where he decided that his [[fursona]] would be a [[Lucario]]. He then ventured onto [[Furry4Life]] and came upon the UK fandom, in 2009, with [[UKFurs]] and soon attended local [[furmeet|meets]] in Liverpool and Manchester. His first experience of a convention was [[ConFuzzled]] 2012, he only went for one day and still rues the fact he didn't stay for longer and often cites that he's the "Day-Tripper"

Nowadays he's not so much active on the forum side of the fandom but regularly frequents [[Twitter]] for socializing, though still frequents forums like UKFurs, [[Furrypile]] and [[Furrie Haven]] from time to time.

=== Fursona ===

When Sparky joined the [[furry fandom]] his primary fursona was a red and white Lucario, changing around the well-known colors of blue and black. He then joined the newly made social networking site [[Furry4Life]] to where, after many months of being known as '''TGL''' (TGLucario475, his internet name), he settled on using "Sparky" as his name and soon after adding personal numbers to the end of it to differentiate him from other [[Sparky]]'s in the fandom.

During the summer of 2009, he decided to change his fursona to a wolf, pioneered from his Second Life [[avatar]], and has stuck with him ever since along his Lucario fursona, for which he plans to get a [[fursuit]] for the later.

CosmoSnowmew: /* Correction and question */

{{article-welcome}} --[[User:Higgs Raccoon|Higgs Raccoon]] 12:57, 22 July 2012 (EDT)

== Book of Fur ==
Can't find a Sandbox page and I'm not sure this meets General Notability so I'll shove it here instead!

So yeah... around the 29th of November 2012, FA went down... and I decided to engage in a bit of Schadenfreude on Twitter. This was the result - the Book of Fur. Slightly edited and reordered here, but perhaps worth a grin :)

# Yes, FurAffinity has gone SPLAT again. Biblical verse this time around, from the Book of Fur, chapters XII through XIV.
# Lo, and the Grandsire lay down in the field, his coat a bright irridescent white. And He didst not speak, for he doth sleep with Angels.
# And the Ferrets and the Weasels and the Badgers rose to fill the Grandsire's boots. There was no mourning, for a bright Morning had come.
# Lo, and they of all Species, the Ferrets and the Wolves and the Foxes and the Dragoo, all were united in the House of the Mustelidae.
# And lo, within four score and ten full moons, the Grandsire was forgotten. His legacy a mere footnote in the Books of Ferrox.
# And soon the Ferrox, and the Dragon, and the Drasky were but naught, gone to the sands of time.

(Apologies to @GeneWolf for snaffling the honorific term "Grandsire". Seemed like an appropriate term to describe FA :P)

==Correction and question==
Just correcting an inaccuracy and asking for clarification...
* [https://twitter.com/philpem/status/318529172647596033 "Higgs managed to dig up A LOT of stuff."] Actually, no. Putting your name into Google and seeing what everyone could see is hardly "digging". The creation of your article involved nothing more than the minimal effort everyone else's article gets, and used nothing more than what was already publicly available.
* [https://twitter.com/philpem/status/318528656605601792 "Took an edit-and-lock from GR to get him to leave my page alone."] Oh really? Perhaps you'd like to point out where in the [http://en.wikifur.com/w/index.php?title=SuburbanFox&action=history article's edit history] I was not "leaving your page alone"? I don't see any back-and-forth edit warring or edit-reversions there. Just the cleanup and article-improvement edits that all articles get.--[[User:Higgs Raccoon|Higgs Raccoon]] 22:02, 31 March 2013 (EDT)

:: Replying in order:
:# You did find out rather a lot about me, including linking to most of the social networking sites I use. That's the reason I had Greenreaper hide the first couple of edits on [[SuburbanFox]] -- I don't want people searching for my name (by that I mean my legal name, not my handle / 'fur name') to end up finding, say, my FurAffinity page.
:# That tweet is a prime example of why I should get off the Internet at midnight... and probably take stuff to DM earlier. I said it, I was wrong, I'm an idiot and I apologise wholeheartedly for any offense taken. I really should have reworded that to say "the first two revisions were deleted", but I was already up against the character limit for a tweet. The first thing that suffers when this happens is grammar, then words which seems extraneous but turn out to have clarified the meaning.
:# The tweet before that ("editwar, fight! fight!") was pure sarcasm -- which I often engage in when talking to Sparky. It's banter, basically. I meant nothing by it. Just in case you saw that (which you probably did, as Twitter shows it in the second link's "history" section). Unfortunately anyone who hasn't seen us talking in RL will probably miss that...
:: If you feel the need to discuss something I've said on Twitter, please tag me (@philpem ...) even if it's just to say "can we talk about this on DM". If you've got more to say, a FurAffinity note or Weasyl message will do fine (though I'd appreciate it if you tagged/DM'd me on Twitter to say you've done that, otherwise it might be a few days before I check my notes/messages). I try to be approachable, and any unresolvable disagreement is more likely to end with "well let's just agree to disagree" than any actual drama. I will admit when I'm wrong, as I've done here. If you'd like to discuss this further, feel free to reply either here (if you don't mind the chatter being public), or via one of the above means (if you'd prefer to talk in private).
