'''Dale Glass''' is a one of the core memebers in [[Luskwood]] in [[Second Life]].

==Appearance==
Dale's [[avatar]] is a blue [[fox]] in futuristic armor. A [[Wikipedia:Debian|Debian]] shirt and a Luskwood logo are usually present on the avatar. He has alternate accounts and sometimes changes [[species]].

==Luskwood==
Dale rewrote the scripted security tool used in Luskwood, and afterwards created a bot to assist with tasks that scripts cannot perform. He also created a few auxiliary bots that periodically update the map and scan residential land usage. He's in charge of maintaining those systems.

He spends most of his time hanging out in Luskwood and working on the Second Life viewer, Luskwood moderation tools, and other coding projects. He is interested in creating effective tools for moderation, reputation systems, technology, and [[Wikipedia:Transhumanism|transhumanism]].

==Real Life==
In [[real life]], he is a software developer, currently getting paid for writing Open Source software.

'''Luskwood''' is a forest-themed, [[furry]]-themed (but not furry exclusive) gathering area and community on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linden_Lab Linden Lab's] virtual worlds program, [[Second Life]].

Luskwood consists of parts of 4 simulators, approximately 99% of Perry, 70% of Lusk, most of Clara, and a bit of Tehama. Formed in September 2003, it is run by [[Arito Cotton]], [[eltee Statosky]], [[Liam Roark]], and [[Michi Lumin]]. It is considered the largest PG "furry-themed area", currently over 130,000 square meters in size. Of note is the fact that Luskwood stresses that non-furry residents are welcome in Luskwood at all times, and often it hosts non-furry and general access events on their land. Luskwood is first and foremost a "park and nature preserve"; its founders being furry is mainly coincidental and its status as a furry centerpiece is mainly honorary, as the furry theme was never part of its original charter. Luskwood is also currently the oldest known resident created, themed mainland build in Second Life.

Luskwood also runs [[Luskwood Creatures]], the builders of some of the first [[anthropomorphic]] [[avatar|avatars]] in Second Life (beginning in SL 1.0). Over 40,000 Luskwood avatars have been sold, and more types continue to be added. They are also the creators of the [[Jogauni]] species, an avatar with RPG elements and a mythical lore. Jogauni are also a feature of [[Tokalub|Tokalub Debs]]’ [[webcomic]] of the same name.

Starting in late 2007, Arito Cotton and Liam Roark began creating [[fursuits]] under the Luskwood Creatures brand, creating suits based on their own Second Life vendored avatar designs and custom created designs. As of February 2009 the fursuit business wing of Luskwood Creatures is closed for the foreseeable future due to time constraints, but Arito has stated that he will continue to make them for himself and friends as time allows. [http://community.livejournal.com/luskwood/5783.html]

Luskwood was the most trusted Second Life area on the 3rd party created (and now defunct) SL Banlink system. Some people have expressed a philosophical opposition to this systems operation as well as Luskwood’s involvement, as expressed in this [http://secondthoughts.typepad.com/second_thoughts/2009/02/i-found-this-discussion-on-concierge-list-very-gratifying-because-for-the-first-time-in-the-history-of-sl-as-long-as-ive-bee.html#comments discussion.]

==History==
Luskwood, founded sometime in the end of 2003, was the first widely known furry gathering area on Second Life. Throughout 2003, Luskwood was approximately 12 km2, and began by the unification of Liam Roark's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AT&T_Communications#AT.26T_Long_Lines AT&T LongLines] tower, Michi Lumin's land, and Eltee Statosky's treehouse. During 2003, Luskwood shared Lusk and Perry with the JazzyJadeWolf estate, Cienna Rand's glass house, and Devlin Gallant's greek-styled mansion. Now however, it is mostly owned by Luskwood and Lusk Estates.

Arito Cotton, one of its founders, constructed some of the earliest known furry avatars, and this led to the founding of Luskwood Creatures. In the long-ago-past they did custom work exclusively but as the furry population grew they began selling vended avatars.

In 2006, the tree was redesigned and replaced with a sculpted primitive based one. The social platform was slightly enlarged.

==Events==
On the first Friday of every month, a live performance by the musical duo Effnjay ([[Frogg Marlowe]] and [[Jaycatt Nico]]) is held at the Luskwood Stage.

Some members of the community hold DJ sessions on the platform on a weekly basis, most notably Shady Fox and Skunkworks Foxclaw

The Luskwood founders occasionally hold parties DJed by Arito Cotton and/or other members of the staff and community. These are usually for holidays and avatar releases, but have also happened randomly. Many times during these parties, Linden dollars and/or avatars are given away as prizes.

On October 4, 2008, Luskwood celebrated its 5th birthday in Second Life. The celebration included performances by several musicians on the Luskwood stage and had more than 70 concurrent attendants. The party lasted for approximately 14 hours, and ended with a performance by DJ Arito Cotton.

==Notable landmarks==
'''The Tree and Social Platform''' – The main feature of the Luskwood community. A large tree containing “the platform”; the main gathering area, the Luskwood Creatures avatar vendors, a runway, a museum and fountain in the base of the tree, and many other features.

'''Club Giant Eltee Head''' - Constructed by Arito Cotton in under an hour, this wood-textured dance club (complete with wooden speakers and wooden disco balls) served as Luskwood's event center for the late part of 2004. Since retired, it is being brought back as Pub Giant Eltee Head, a British tudor-style pub featuring the head of the same Luskwood founder.

'''The General Store''' – This gazebo shaped structure is home to vendors for some of the Luskwood regulars that sell their own goods in Second Life.

'''The Luskwood Stage''' – Designed in late 2008 by Codex Rau primarily for the Luskwood Anniversary celebration, the stage is home to live music performances and large events. It was built in an Art Deco style inspired by the Hollywood Bowl.

'''The Perry Platform''' – This wooden platform serves as a build-enabled sandbox area for visitors to build and modify objects. It is also host to an arcade.

==Residential Land==
Luskwood offers a quite unique on the Second Life mainland deal: Those who'd like to have a home in Luskwood may ask for a parcel, if one is available, and only need to donate the required amount of tier as long as they want to keep it (normally land must be purchased in Second Life). This saves a considerable amount of money.

Residental land is available in the Lusk, Clara and Tehama sims. Currently, there are more than 50 residential parcels, most of them taken. The available parcels are visible on the Luskwood map, which is located on the border of the platform. The map is updated daily and can be clicked to teleport to the clicked location.

The land is rented and not owned, which means it works slightly differently from normal mainland parcels. The renter can't terraform the land or change the media URL, however, the Luskwood Management can provide assistance with those things.

DaleGlass: Section on residential land

[[Image:Luskwood_platform.jpg|thumb|200px|The Lobby at Luskwood, the primary hangout for many furries.]]
'''Luskwood''' is a forest-themed, [[furry]]-themed (but not furry exclusive) gathering area and community on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linden_Lab Linden Lab's] virtual worlds program, [[Second Life]].

Luskwood consists of parts of 4 simulators, approximately 99% of Perry, 70% of Lusk, most of Clara, and a bit of Tehama. Formed in September 2003, it is run by [[Arito Cotton]], [[eltee Statosky]], [[Liam Roark]], and [[Michi Lumin]]. It is considered the largest PG "furry-themed area", currently over 130,000 square meters in size. Of note is the fact that Luskwood stresses that non-furry residents are welcome in Luskwood at all times, and often it hosts non-furry and general access events on their land. Luskwood is first and foremost a "park and nature preserve"; its founders being furry is mainly coincidental and its status as a furry centerpiece is mainly honorary, as the furry theme was never part of its original charter. Luskwood is also currently the oldest known resident created, themed mainland build in Second Life.

Luskwood also runs [[Luskwood Creatures]], the builders of some of the first [[anthropomorphic]] [[avatar|avatars]] in Second Life (beginning in SL 1.0). Over 40,000 Luskwood avatars have been sold, and more types continue to be added. They are also the creators of the [[Jogauni]] species, an avatar with RPG elements and a mythical lore. Jogauni are also a feature of [[Tokalub|Tokalub Debs]]’ [[webcomic]] of the same name.

Starting in late 2007, Arito Cotton and Liam Roark began creating [[fursuits]] under the Luskwood Creatures brand, creating suits based on their own Second Life vendored avatar designs and custom created designs. As of February 2009 the fursuit business wing of Luskwood Creatures is closed for the foreseeable future due to time constraints, but Arito has stated that he will continue to make them for himself and friends as time allows.

Luskwood is currently the most trusted Second Life area on the 3rd party created SL Banlink system. Some people have expressed a philosophical opposition to this systems operation as well as Luskwood’s involvement, as expressed in this [http://secondthoughts.typepad.com/second_thoughts/2009/02/i-found-this-discussion-on-concierge-list-very-gratifying-because-for-the-first-time-in-the-history-of-sl-as-long-as-ive-bee.html#comments discussion.]

==History==
Luskwood, founded sometime in the end of 2003, was the first widely known furry gathering area on Second Life. Throughout 2003, Luskwood was approximately 12 km2, and began by the unification of Liam Roark's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AT&T_Communications#AT.26T_Long_Lines AT&T LongLines] tower, Michi Lumin's land, and Eltee Statosky's treehouse. During 2003, Luskwood shared Lusk and Perry with the JazzyJadeWolf estate, Cienna Rand's glass house, and Devlin Gallant's greek-styled mansion. Now however, it is mostly owned by Luskwood and Lusk Estates.

Arito Cotton, one of its founders, constructed some of the earliest known furry avatars, and this led to the founding of Luskwood Creatures. In the long-ago-past they did custom work exclusively but as the furry population grew they began selling vended avatars.

In 2006, the tree was redesigned and replaced with a sculpted primitive based one. The social platform was slightly enlarged.

==Events==
On the first Friday of every month, a live performance by the musical duo Effnjay ([[Frogg Marlowe]] and [[Jaycatt Nico]]) is held at the Luskwood Stage.

Some members of the community hold DJ sessions on the platform on a weekly basis, most notably Shady Fox and Skunkworks Foxclaw

The Luskwood founders occasionally hold parties DJed by Arito Cotton and/or other members of the staff and community. These are usually for holidays and avatar releases, but have also happened randomly. Many times during these parties, Linden dollars and/or avatars are given away as prizes.

On October 4, 2008, Luskwood celebrated its 5th birthday in Second Life. The celebration included performances by several musicians on the Luskwood stage and had more than 70 concurrent attendants. The party lasted for approximately 14 hours, and ended with a performance by DJ Arito Cotton.

==Notable landmarks==
'''The Tree and Social Platform''' – The main feature of the Luskwood community. A large tree containing “the platform”; the main gathering area, the Luskwood Creatures avatar vendors, a runway, a museum and fountain in the base of the tree, and many other features.

'''Club Giant Eltee Head''' - Constructed by Arito Cotton in under an hour, this wood-textured dance club (complete with wooden speakers and wooden disco balls) served as Luskwood's event center for the late part of 2004. Since retired, it is being brought back as Pub Giant Eltee Head, a British tudor-style pub featuring the head of the same Luskwood founder.

'''The General Store''' – This gazebo shaped structure is home to vendors for some of the Luskwood regulars that sell their own goods in Second Life.

'''The Luskwood Stage''' – Designed in late 2008 by Codex Rau primarily for the Luskwood Anniversary celebration, the stage is home to live music performances and large events. It was built in an Art Deco style inspired by the Hollywood Bowl.

'''The Perry Platform''' – This wooden platform serves as a build-enabled sandbox area for visitors to build and modify objects. It is also host to an arcade.

==Residential Land==
Luskwood offers a quite unique on the Second Life mainland deal: Those who'd like to have a home in Luskwood may ask for a parcel, if one is available, and only need to donate the required amount of tier as long as they want to keep it (normally land must be purchased in Second Life). This saves a considerable amount of money.

Residental land is available in the Lusk, Clara and Tehama sims. Currently, there are more than 50 residential parcels, most of them taken. The available parcels are visible on the Luskwood map, which is located on the border of the platform. The map is updated daily and can be clicked to teleport to the clicked location.

The land is rented and not owned, which means it works slightly differently from normal mainland parcels. The renter can't terraform the land or change the media URL, however, the Luskwood Management can provide assistance with those things.

DaleGlass: LT3M doesn't seem to exist anymore

'''LT3M''' (also known as <3m, <3♫, or 'less than three music') was an [[Wikipedia:internet radio|internet radio]] station. It was founded in October of 2005 by a group of friends with the goal of sharing their own brands of music with anyone willing to listen. Since then it had enjoyed a huge surge in popularity, bolstered by an influx of diverse DJs and connections with online communities such as [[Second Life]].

Currently, it seems to be offline, and the domain has pointed to a blank page for more than a year.

== Name ==
The full name of the station ('less than three music') makes use of the internet [[Wikipedia:emoticon|emoticon]] for love ('''<3'''), which uses a mathematical 'less-than' symbol, or chevron, and a three to form a heart. Hence the station name refers to the love of music. The various abbreviations of the name can be used interchangeably.

== Staff ==
* [[Inaki]] - Founder, Head Admin
* [[Chhaya]] - Security
* [[Amethe]] - PR & Coding
* [[Mauricia]] - Scheduling & Website
* [[Schizzy]] - Coding

* [[Pippin]] - Network Administration
* [[Richek]] - Business Director

PREQUEL, also known as “Making A Cat Cry: The Adventure“ is an interactive [[webcomic]] set in the Elder Scrolls universe, created by [[Kazerad]].

== History ==

PREQUEL started as a thread on the [[W:MS Paint|MS Paint]] Adventures forums, but has since then moved to its own website. It also gained quite a bit of popularity, which caused some performance issues and downtime for the website.

== Premise ==

PREQUEL is an interactive story, where readers can submit suggestions for the protagonist, which she interprets as coming from her subconscious. Readers can submit suggestions for characters other than the main one for the strips where the viewpoint changes. The commands can be submitted in the Forum Adventure thread, in the MS Paint Adventures forum.

The main character of the story is a [[Khajiit]] (an [[anthropomorphic]] [[cat]] species from the [[Elder Scrolls]] universe) who decides to start a new life. She arrives at Cyrodiil on a ship coming from Hammerfell, and chooses a new name, '''Katia Managan'''. At this point she's faced with the fact that she has no money, no skills, no friends and an extremely low tolerance for alcohol.

Her inital attempts to get a job end badly, but finally she meets '''Quill-Weave''', a friendly [[Argonian]] [[writer]] who gives her a chance to prove herself, even though Katia just wrecked her house. Despite further setbacks, Katia succeeds at acquiring some new skills and posessions, and things seem to be finally improving.

*First appearance: start of the comic [http://www.prequeladventure.com/2011/03/prequel-begin/]
*Species: [[Khajiit]]
The main character. She has recently decided to start a new life. Unfortunately her lack of skills and money, and an extremely bad luck work against her. Despite that, she keeps trying, and manages to maintain a positive attitude despite the many problems she has. Katia has a big problem with alcohol. If she has even a drop of it, she blacks out and both times she had it, she came back to her senses in a bed, after having slept with an Orc the first time, and with a necromancer the second.

Katia has regular nightmares involving a King when she's sober, which seems to be part of what caused both her alcoholism and fear of royalty.

She wasn't raised around other [[Khajiit]] and as a result has trouble socializing with other members of her species. Even non-Khajiit remark that she seems unusual.

He has an extreme respect for the law, going as far as voluntarily improsoning himself at one point. On the other hand, while he does understand social norms he doesn't feel a need to abide by them, does things like interrupting a dinner party to dump a bunch of dead bandits in front of the Countess.

PREQUEL is an interactive story, where readers can submit suggestions for the protagonist, which she interprets as coming from her subconscious. Readers can submit suggestions for characters other than the main one for the strips where the viewpoint changes. The commands can be submitted in the Forum Adventure thread, in the MS Paint Adventures forum.

The main character of the story is a [[Khajit]] (an anthropomorphic cat species from the Elder Scrolls universe) who decides to start a new life. She arrives at Cyrodiil on a ship coming from Hammerfell, and chooses a new name, Katia Managan. At this point she's faced with the fact that she has no money, no skills, no friends and an extremely low tolerance for alcohol.

Her inital attempts to get a job end badly, but finally she meets Quill-Weave, a friendly Argonian writer who gives her a chance to prove herself, even though Katia just wrecked her house. Despite further setbacks, Katia succeeds at acquiring some new skills and posessions, and things seem to be finally improving.

==Characters==

Katia Managan is the main character. Shes's a Khajit who has recently decided to start a new life. Unfortunately her lack of skills and money, and an extremely bad luck work against her. Despite that, she keeps trying, and manages to maintain a positive attitude despite the many problems she has. Katia has a big problem with alcohol. She

Quill-Weave is an Argonian who takes pity on Katia and gives her a way to earn some money, by having her carry a letter to another city. She gives Katia a second chance when her first attempt fails.

A Soldier Of The Imperial Legion, or "Asotil" for short is an unnamed soldier who takes fighting crime very seriously. He has an extreme respect for the law, going as far as voluntarily improsoning himself at one point. On the other hand, while he does understand social norms he doesn't feel a need to abide by them, does things like interrupting a dinner party to dump a bunch of dead bandits in front of the Countess.

DaleGlass: Undo revision 233805 by 67.161.172.110 (talk). Old paragraph reinstated, without fixing any of the problems on talk page.

[[Image:Luskwood_platform.jpg|thumb|200px|The Lobby at Luskwood, the primary hangout for many]]
'''Luskwood''', founded sometime in the end of 2003, was the first widely known [[furry]] gathering area on [[Second Life]]. It was forest-themed more than furry-themed but its founders (and most of their friends) were furry and so Luskwood became a refuge from both [[anti-furry]] sentiment and, primarily, the club/mall/casino craze that was beginning to make open spaces in SL a true rarity. Its forest/park/trees theme seems to be what inspired the later 'forest themed furry area' craze in SL. It is one of the oldest mainland theme builds still in existence.

Luskwood currently spans over 100,000 sqm in three mainland sims (Lusk, Perry, and Clara) and is a PG rated area. It is an open-build zone and is a good quiet place to get away from the craziness of some of the M-rated furry areas on SL.

Luskwood is perhaps most well known for its furry [[Avatar (virtual reality)|avatars]] which are some of the highest quality and most detailed in the world. [[Arito Cotton]], one of its founders, was the first player to construct a furry avatar with primitives in the style that is currently common, and this led to the founding of [[Luskwood Creatures]]. In the long-ago-past they did custom work exclusively but as the furry population exploded they began selling vended avatars, with what appears to be great success.

The Luskwood founders are highly accessible and are usually available to talk about just about anything, and there don't seem to be any 'rules' outside of common courtesy. They occasionally hold parties DJed by Arito Cotton where they give away an obscene amount of in-world money for no reason at all. The amount given away seems to be directly proportionate to how drunk Arito is.

In 2006, the tree was redesigned and replaced with a sculpt based one. The platform was slightly enlarged.

On October 4, 2008, Luskwood celebrated its 5th birthday in Second Life. The celebration included performances by several musicians on the Luskwood stage and had more than 70 concurrent attendants. The party lasted for approximately 14 hours, and ended with a performance by DJ Arito Cotton.

Category talk:Atheist furs

2008-11-30T17:22:27Z

DaleGlass:

I think this category would be best as a userspace category. Christian furs, too. If we start allowing religious categories in the main article space, would we then start allowing sexual orientation categories as well? [[User:SpazKitty|Spaz Kitty]] 01:43, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

[[:Category:Christian furs]] came about largely because of a list of people in the article [[Christian fur]]. Categories seem tidier and somewhat more useful than lists of people, to me, and main-space categories for articles contain people who are not WikiFur users. -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 04:33, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

At the risk of sounding like I don't have an opinion because I don't know the details of a particular convention, I don't know the difference; wikifur presents a pretty novel situation in that there are pages about individuals, but it's not, you know, LJ or myspace. If there's an argument in favor of expanding categories on individuals, it probably starts there. Sex-orientation categories? It's a pretty germane category on individuals, especially given the charcter of the fandom. But obviously also problematic. E.g., a "closeted gay" category. Wouldn't that be charming. --[[User:Furthling|Furthling]] 01:51, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

===Re:<nowiki>{{appropriate}}</nowiki>===
I'm not clear why this article has been tagged for <nowiki>{{appropriate}}</nowiki>, when, one, it's stood without comment for quite some time, when the equivalent category pertaining to christians, is not so-tagged, and since nobody will be able to respond to the next request I'll now make:

Could somebody please point to a coherent wikifur policy describing what makes categories inappropriate to wikifur?

Obviously a category is content, but it's not an article. As religions and the furry fandom all pertain to the realm of imaginary things, they're inextricably interwoven, and religious stances are of inherent interest both in works (see pholph.com for example), and of people.

Arguably Wikifur should have a standard of noteworthiness that would leave 90% of all personal pages on Wikifur marked <nowiki>{{appropriate}}</nowiki> and candidates for deletion. Short of doing that, however, it is inclusive of people '''as such''', and religious stance is entirely pertient to understanding a person, in addition to understanding the nuances of the fandom.

The appropriate and deletion categories should be removed. Contrary to the edit comments the category specifically refers to a distinctive outlook, and accusing it of not being a distinctive outlook begs two questions: one, how is it not so if one acknowledges (as I do) that Christian Furs, is, and two, where are the specs on what is "sufficiently distinctive?" This sounds more like an effort to excise unpopular points of view. --[[User:Furthling|Furthling]] 00:42, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

:The length of time an item has existed on WikiFur is irrelevant, and discussion can be begun or continued at any time; see the top of this talk page for some unresolved points about this category.

:There is a tendancy on WikiFur to write up policy once a consistent practice has come about, rather than writing policy in order to bring about a consistent practice. There has been discussion of various categories on the talk pages for those categories, or on wider categories in some cases.

:Categories serve as a way of organising information. Suggesting that this category is not useful is not the same as suggesting that information pointed at by the category should be excised from WikiFur.

:I hope the above has helped your understanding somewhat, and that others will add to discussion here. -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 19:27, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

::If you review what you've just written, I trust you'll see there's an inconsistency between saying that the length of time an item has existed without comment is 'irrelevant' and saying that 'consistent practice' is the norm for formulating policy-- it has been a consistent practice of WikiFur to include this particular category as a way of categorizing person pages-- even after its appropriateness was raised and ample time allowed for discussion of its appropriateness.

::I'm not sure I entirely agree that convention alone establishes good policy-- at it's basest, convention has led to the disorganization of information that the wide world typifies, and which I think everyone expects a Wiki to improve upon.

::But if you think convention should drive policy, how then can you feel that using <nowiki>{{appropriate}}</nowiki> is warranted in this case? Convention already includes other categories of '''precisely''' this sort, and person pages are a large part of Wikifur, and the categories that are completely appropriate to them, as such, cover all sorts of things just like this.

::Also, in fact, the function of a category is itself to provide information-- information about where items that are members of the category can be found. To suggest the category be removed is very much to suggest removing information. And the question is not of what's "useful" but of what's "appropriate," which at present, with the template used here to express it, literally marks the category for deletion. The template directly proposes eliminating specific information very much germane to furs and identity as a fur. --[[User:Furthling|Furthling]] 05:57, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

I will remove the template at this time. It contains proposal for deletion, and so falls under [[Wikifur:Proposed_deletion#conflicts|Proposal for deletion, sub 'Conflicts']]. I trust this expresses WikiFur's policy and the view common to wikis that where there is a disagreement about deletion of content, the assumption is not to delete. --[[User:Furthling|Furthling]] 06:02, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

==<nowiki>{{appropriate}}</nowiki>==

I'd like to hear from whomever thinks the appropriate tag belongs on the page as to why articles (or categories, in this case) are considered appropriate or inappropriate, in general. If there's no clear rationale for adding such a tag to a page, I'm a little confused why anyone would in fact add it. And I've asked before where the standard of article appropriateness can be found, but don't recall any clear answers. Incidentally, at this time the <nowiki>{{delete}}</nowiki> template redirects to the <nowiki>{{appropriate}}</nowiki> template. --[[User:Furthling|Furthling]] 00:21, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

:Also, per this policy:

:'''Contested deletions: If anyone, including the article's creator, removes <nowiki>{{prod}}</nowiki> from an article for any reason, do not put it back, except if the removal was clearly not an objection to deletion (such as blanking the entire article, or removing the tag along with inserting blatant nonsense); however, if the edit is not obviously vandalism, do not restore it, even if the tag was apparently removed in bad faith. If you still believe the article needs to be deleted, explain why on the article Talk page. '''

:It really was inappropriate to re-add the tag, since it contains the proposal for deletion. --[[User:Furthling|Furthling]] 00:27, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

::No it wasn't. That ''proposed'' policy applies strictly to the {{tl|prod}} template, which I have never actually seen used on WikiFur. Moreover, what normally happens on Wikipedia if you remove that is a full-blown deletion - and ''that'' template is not removable until the discussion is concluded. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]<sup>([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])</sup> 22:42, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

:::Does Wikifur have an actual policy on this that the proposed policy seeks to replace, then? Does it have a broad body of other actual policies? If "no" to either or both, there's simply a lack of policy, isn't there? Into which problematic vacuum the proposed policy is inevitably drawn?

:::Meanwhile, the <nowiki>{{appropriate}}</nowiki> tag includes candidate for deletion, and if there's some sort of crucial difference between "proposed" and "candidate" for deletion, I think it goes over the heads of most people who might wish to contribute in good faith to developing wikifur. The proposed policy's been there quite some time; being there purely as a proposal, especially absent any real policy, just increases the already very high ambiguity over what's appropriate on wikifur. It should either be withdrawn or put in place as policy. And if it's enacted, it should apply as a general guideline, not as an arbitrarily narrow formality about the use of one precise template. --[[User:Furthling|Furthling]] 00:44, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

:There are no clear answers on what is appropriate or not because it depends on what the people discussing it at the time think. Obviously there are some things that are ''clearly'' inappropriate, but then almost everyone understands what they are and so they are usually not added in the first place. It's the edge cases, like here, where we have the discussions.

:As for the rationale, I think SpazKitty's reasoning was fairly clear - they think that religious categories and sexual orientation categories are not appropriate for the main namespace because they do not have much relevance, and should be restricted to the user space (by which they mean they should be something added to [[User:Furthling]] rather than [[Furthling]]). Whether they are right or not is the matter under debate.

:You argue that "religious stance is entirely pertient to understanding a person". That's fair enough, if you consider religion important. However, that comes back to whether we're trying to detail people's entire lives, or just the furry aspects of them.

:The problem we wish to avoid is ending up with huge numbers of categories that are going to be incomplete and which don't have much meaning anyway. "Christian furs" has meaning because they are a group which has defined itself through activities within the fandom. The same is true for [[:Category:Babyfurs]], [[:Category:Ham radio operators]] and the like. All of these have associated articles, because they are topics which we have something specific to say about, separate from Wikipedia's coverage.

:This category claims that atheist furs have "a distinctive outlook on the furry fandom" - so, what is that outlook? As far as I know, we don't have an [[atheist]] or [[atheist fur]] because it wouldn't say more than "a fur who is an atheist" - and perhaps that's why we shouldn't have a category for it. I'm an atheist myself, but I don't see it as particularly relevant to my involvement in the fandom, so it's not on the article about me. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]<sup>([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])</sup> 23:43, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

::It's easy to say we should distinguish between the 'furry aspects' of people's lives and the aspects that aren't, but much harder to do. Or, if it's easy, please explain how, because I'm not seeing it. You realize "Artist" for example, is not a furry trait-- it's just a trait, and can be argued, just as "christian (fur)" can, the same way you've argued atheist fur-- no brand-new-under-the-sun trait arises from a person being a furry and and artist, nor from being a furry and a christian. At the same time, all three examples are of two traits that in persons, exert strong mutual influence-- artists who are furs tend to have the one impact the other. Atheist who're furs and christians who're furs, the two traits are organically interactive in the individual. In part, this goes to the failure of wikifur to have a standard of noteworthiness-- you're essentially arguing that atheist furs-- who do exist (they even have a notable, referenceable LJ community)-- aren't noteworthy. The problem is, as you well know, Wikifur doesn't have a decent standard of what's noteworthy to use, such as Wikipedia's arbitrary but useful "published reference" standard.

::Regardless though, the wiki does, by choice, include pages on '''people'''. How you can conclude that categories that validly organize people content are somehow inappropriate, if people content itself *is* appropriate, is very unclear. It should have been realized right away that bringing people articles means bringing people categories. If categories on people don't belong in the wiki, then *other* kinds of information on people don't belong in the wiki. Categories aren't even a primary navigational tool-- they're just a form of content. Categories on people are no more obtrusive than or different from sections in people's articles. And if 'consistent practice' is what makes things stick in wikifur, people articles overwhelmingly include not-so-crucially-furry information.

::If people articles are approprite, people article categories are appropriate. If they're not, they're not. People articles information other than "this person is a furry," so they have not-strictly-related information in them. Either that information is or is not appropriate to wikifur, and if it is, it should be categorized. If it isn't it shouldn't be there. In fact, it's there, so by the 'consistent practice' test, it should be there. --[[User:Furthling|Furthling]] 01:04, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

:::Your reasoning seem better suited to arguing for the deletion of other categories, not for keeping this one. Again, in the past we ''have'' deleted stuff in which furries are active, but where their furriness has no relation to their participation (see [[Talk:Bangor Wargaming and Role Playing Society|this example]]). The simple fact is that furs do a lot of things, but that does not make these things "furry by association".
:::Wikipedia has lots of categories of people. One thing it ''doesn't'' have is a category of people with green eyes - because the fact is not considered relevant to their notability within the world. So, how is atheism relevant to the ''furry'' world? Is there atheist furry artwork? Stories of furry societies built on atheist principles? In what way has atheist culture has affected furry culture, or vice versa? Are the furs in the LiveJournal group active in spreading atheism in the fandom? If there is nothing uniting this category other than its atheism, how does an category of furry atheists which is likely to omit a large number of people who really ''are'' atheists help our readers? --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]<sup>([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])</sup> 01:54, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Regardless of what the final decision may be, I think we should apply the same decision to both the Atheist Furs category and the Christian Furs category. As George Carlin would say, "Let's not have a double standard. One standard will do nicely." :-) --[[User:Dmuth|Douglas Muth]] 16:00, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

::::GR, to respond here (though I believe I did so at the time elsewhere), yes, there are quite evidently furry expressions of atheism all over the fandom. There're active communities of specifically atheist furs, there is atheist furry art, and there is a persistent interest in the atheist orientation of furries, among furries, who are disproportionately, as a community, atheist.
::::Moreover, the atheist idea is inherent in the very premise of anthropomorphism-- animals notworthily don't have religious compunctions, and in the view of theists, are not subject to salvation, heaven, or hell, etc, much as atheists view themselves to be. For many atheists, including furry ones, the anthropomorphic figure symbolizes atheism!
::::Lacking any standard whatsoever of what's appropriate and then leaping to: how other comparable categories (like christian fur) are dealt with is irrelevant, doesn't make a bit of sense. It's a perfectly natural and intuitive position to fall back on, lacking a clearer definition of "appropriate," to look at how other similar things have been done. Indeed that idea is at the core not only of wikipedia, but is the intuitively expected approach for the organization of pretty much ANYTHING organized by human thought. -[[User:Furthling|Furthling]] 21:36, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

:::::Define "many atheists". Who? Specifically? And the last paragraph made no sense to me whatsoever. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]<sup>([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])</sup> 21:41, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

::::::GR, why are you asking me to create a list of atheist furs for you? It's not relevant to the discussion, as it's no part of any standard used here-- you can't just keep creating more nonsense tests to be met for a category you find embarassing, or whatever, to be legitimate. Moreover, you know a number of atheist furs yourself, because you've seen them discuss things in the Atheist Furs LJ Comm.
::::::The last paragraph pertains to your previous comments. You suggested that my arguments were better suited to the view that certain categories (e.g., christian furs) should be deleted, RATHER than to the view that Atheist Furs be kept. Except the one is germane to the other. How things are done on Wikifur IS the standard of how things should be done on wikifur, especially considering the deplorable absence of policy on what's appropriate, and the persistent refusals to discuss it. -[[User:Furthling|Furthling]] 21:51, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

:::::::I'm asking you to specify people to back up your statement: "For many atheists, including furry ones, the anthropomorphic figure symbolizes atheism!" I don't know who this "many" is that you are talking about, and I'd like you to specify a reference to back it up to ensure that it is not just your personal opinion.
:::::::I agree that one is germane to the other. If there's a good argument for one to be deleted, there's a good argument for both to be deleted. That was the meaning of my statement. I want to be fair, so that if we get rid of one we should get rid of the other as well. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]<sup>([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])</sup> 22:02, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

::::::::But that standard, "who" does not apply here. I suspect this confusion arises out of the idea that wikifur can operate similarly to say, wikipedia, despite having no clear standard of evidence at all, upon which such challenges would necessarily be based.
::::::::It is evident that animals don't have religion or religious compunctions and observances. It is also evident that they do not, according to conventional religions, experience afterlife, similar to the outlook of atheists about themselves. It is also evident that features of animals with which fur fans identify is much of the basis of the furry fandom. My observation about the significance of anthropomorphic animals to atheists is self-evident, regardless of how often it becomes a big talking point among furs (and as a matter of fact atheism and furriness are notoriously synergistic topics for discussion among furs). For that matter, I've observed it, and I'm a furry and an atheist, and there need be no further evidence about the relevance of this view, as wikifur does not, pretend though it might, have a notability standard. Furthermore, the closest wikifur could come to a notability standard would necessarily discriminate against unpopular and minority groups, e.g., atheists.-[[User:Furthling|Furthling]] 22:35, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

:::::::::The fact that we don't have the same rules as Wikipedia does not mean you can say what you like and expect it to stick. It means you have to find some other way of convincing editors that what you say is true. Nobody is denying you the ability to express your own beliefs, but when you generalize about atheists in furry fandom, it needs backing up somehow.
:::::::::Animals don't have religion because (as far as we know) they aren't intelligent enough to think about what happens after they die. Atheism requires consciousness. Just because animals don't have gods (the furry representations of them often do; see ''[[Digger]]'') doesn't make it of particular relevance to furry fandom.
:::::::::But let's get back to the issue at hand - this category. The main reasons I oppose it and other faith-based categories is that a) in ''most'' cases, a person's religion doesn't have particular significance to their involvement in furry fandom (my personal opinion based on what I've seen), and b) it can never be made complete, or even close to complete, because people's religions are often something they keep private or separate from their furry activities. Because of b) the category cannot be maintained. If we record it at all, it should be as a list on [[atheism]] containing those people who have ''specifically'' associated their atheism with furry fandom. This would also provide a place for more information to be displayed about the involvement of atheism with furry fandom. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]<sup>([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])</sup> 00:09, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

Addressing your last point, GreenReaper:
''the category cannot be maintained. If we record it at all, it should be as a list on [[atheism]] containing those people who have ''specifically'' associated their atheism with furry fandom.''
There was such a list in the article [[Christian fur]], which I [http://furry.wikia.com/index.php?title=Christian_fur&diff=88141&oldid=88115 changed to a see also and creation of the Christian furs category]. -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 00:17, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

:Well, at least now I know who to blame. ;-) Seriously, though, if we have such categories I think they should be marked as restricted to those who have made it a significant part of their involvement in furry fandom (not just "Furs who are atheists/Christians/communists"). I believe this information is better represented as a list because it allows this interest/involvement to be explained in more depth. See the [[Babyfur#Notable babyfurs|list of notable babyfurs]] for an example. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]<sup>([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])</sup> 01:05, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

::[[:Category:Christian furs]] has been a pretty easily populated one since there was that list to start things off, and people's about themselves tend to say "Christian fur" in so many words. I've had more issue with such categories as [[:Category:Photographers]] and [[:Category:Programmers]] for the significance / relevance bit.
::Re representation in category versus list, I'm not a fan of the notable tag and I feel lists get unwieldly. In the Christian furs case, I think the baldness of the list (names without any specifics of involvement or relevance) made the change to category make sense to me.
::And, of course: you can blame me for many, many things. :)-- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 02:19, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

== No Resolution? ==

The recent reinclusion of the "appropriate" template and deletion category was inappropriate; there isn't anything to resolve, and readding it was contrary to wiki guidelines. If the person who made the edit felt there was a reason for it, he would make a positive case for it here RATHER than using inappropriate templates to "encourage discussion." Because I don't want to further this edit war, I have taken the opportunity to solicit feedback from any interested parties in the AtheistFurs LJ community. -[[User:Furthling|Furthling]] 21:51, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

:I'd disagree with that assessment based on the content of the wiki itself. References to Totemism, [[Otherkin]], and [[Theriantropy]] seem to point to that there's a quite significant amount of spirituality involved. Should the the [[Category:Otherkin]] category cease to exist as well, then?

Islands and other locations in Second Life

2008-11-21T23:11:35Z

DaleGlass: /* Luskwood */ Removed "controversy" paragraph on the grounds of not belonging on this page and not being justified as described on the Luskwood talk page.

'''Islands''' are user-owned simulators within [[Second Life]]. You can buy your own island but the price to play is pretty steep: $1675 for start up costs and a server (you don't own the server itself though and due to multiple CPU servers, you are effectively buying space on a single CPU for your island), as well as $295 a month maintenance fee. Islands, as opposed to the mainland, get a dedicated processor to run on. Mainland sims (regions) may have to share resources with up to 3 other neighboring regions. An additional benefit is that purchasing an island allows you to contact the Linden Concierge directly with questions, bypassing the standard technical support lines and forums.

Prior to the creation of islands, every simulator belonged to a large land mass. Regions of these simulators sometimes ended up dedicated to specific groups, including the furry fandom.

==List==
There are currently a number of furry-owned or themed islands and regions in Second Life:
[[Image:Luskwoodlobby.jpg|thumb|200px|The Lobby at Luskwood, the primary hangout for many furs]]
===[[Luskwood]]===
* Luskwood consists of two sims/regions, '''Lusk''' and '''Perry''', with some elements spilling into '''Clara'''; PG-rated, though not heavy on rules (for example, unlike most PG areas, weapons are allowed in Luskwood), Luskwood (started in mid-2003) is the oldest Furry-themed area in SL. Though not an island in practice (it resides on the SL mainland,) these regions are wholly owned by the Luskwood group, and can be considered its own furry-themed area.

*It is home to [[Luskwood Creatures]], the first furry avatar makers on SL. Luskwood builds many varieties of furry avatars, and is considered a sister-sim to, and administered by some of the same folks who run Taco.

===[[Gay Yiffy Club]]===
* Gay Yiffy Club is a popular furry nightclub, partially due to the open and welcoming atmosphere for every species, gender or alignment (even though its name suggests to cater only to [[gay]] [[male]] furs). Originally built by [[Senjin Soothsayer]] and managed by [[Kiroja Fluffy]] and [[Darkfoxx Bunyip]]. It's not even an island SIM, yet it's traffic surpasses most islands. The club is commonly referred to by its abbreviation GYC and thanks it's popularity mostly to the very active staff containing dancers, DJs and Bartenders. The club features dance-floor, bar, darkroom, stage, pool, private rooms, lounge area and a separately located shopping area.
Unlike other clubs, public display of intimacy is not frowned upon, and even encouraged.

===[[Rainbow Tiger]]===
* Originally a dance club owned by [[Spike Nico]] and an adjoining mall owned by [[Shadow Garden]] in the '''Cleary''' region, Rainbow Tiger has expanded onto a full island. Rainbow Tiger currently has: [[Club Rainbow Tiger]], a large dance club with live DJ's spinning tunes regularly as well as a swimming pool, events center, and an exercise room. Additional description is available on the Rainbow Tiger page. The Rainbow sims have been awarded Developer's Incentive awards 3 times by Linden Lab since Rainbow Tiger was founded back in Cleary.

* A second island named [[Rainbow Stallion]] was added at the end of March 2006, and is designated a residential area. In 2006, a decision was made to change the ownership of the sims. Rainbow Tiger became fully owned by Spike Nico, and Rainbow Stallion became fully owned by Shadow Garden. Then, in 2007, an additional sim [[Rainbow Canyon]] was added to give both the mall and club additional room to expand. Due to the slowing economy, Rainbow Canyon was then closed in June 2008, and a small replacement mall area was created on Rainbow Tiger. The sims are rated 'mature', and are open to all species. Currently there is a large impassible gap between Rainbow Tiger and Rainbow Stallion due to the removal of the Rainbow Canyon island. A replacement island is being developed and should be available soon.

* In 2007, a new island, Lykaois, joined the fold as the first independent sim. It is owned by Valdis Damone, and his mate Redwolf Ghia. This island is, however, a private island requiring an invite to enter.

:{{see also|Rainbow Tiger}}

===[[Tartarus Island]]===
* The new home of [[The Fur Dungeon]], a club that once existed on the mainland. Underwater dungeon areas and an array of domes (including, presently, a mall and movie dome) complement the club itself. Created by [[Musuko Massiel]].

Mostly a residential island, with laid back rules, several houses nestled amid beautiful landscaping, and apartments for rent up in the sky. Also hosts a small shop for vendors, and [[The Hangar]] club. Residence in the sky apartments is one of the most affordable at 100L$ per week for 100 prims, which makes them popular and causes a waiting list to accumulate for the space. The residents of the skyboxes are among the more friendly 'neighbourhood' style cliques and as a new denizen of the sim you can expect sudden visits from the other residents.

===[[Coonspiracy]]===
* Southwest corner of Noonkkot sim, a hangout for raccoons, gators, swamp foxes, and the like.

Collecting donations for Island upkeep fees is a popular activity on islands, furry or otherwise.

===[[Furry Plateau]]===
Furry plateau is teengrid's oldest furry hangout, and was originally founded by [[Reggie Marquez]] and [[Inuyasha Overlord]]. The hangout was originally a 1024 plot for the "brothers" to live in. After some time, Reggie's account was disabled due to payment issues, and Inuyasha Overlord continue to take care of the parcel until it moved to Gordon, where it became a mainstream hangout.

After a year, Inuyasha also left the parcel due to payment issues. Shortly after, Reggie returned on an alternate account, [[Reggie Clifton]], and brought FP back to teengrid alongside [[Phox Sillanpaa]], in the hope that it would become mainstream again, which it did. Furry Plateau quickly reached the top of the pop-list with its "housing for homeless furs" - a program started in order to help new furries adjust to the community. This housing project became big enough to put FP at the top of the popular list for another six months.

The land soon became too small to contain the community and the group continued on to create the FP Peacelands alongside [[Nicelus Borelly]]. The "four founding furs" now continue the community on the sims Citivas and Leviathan. On February 5th 2009, FP will begin its build up on the Main Grid. It will remain totally PG and no "Bits or Bobbers" will be allowed upon it. Other than that hardly any strict rules will be placed upon visitors.

===[[TSL Fur Fest]]===
Teen Second Life (TSL) Fur Fest (TSLFF) is the Teen Grid's first [[furry]] and [[anthropomorphic]]s [[convention]]. TSLFF was founded by Ferret Surface ([[Ferret Vulpsi]]) and the first TSLFF was held in 2007 on August 17th, 18th, and 19th mainly in the sim of Unreal. The convention was mainly attended by members of the FP, FN (TSL), and Tiamat communities however the con was a grid wide event and made history as the first furry convention (or convention of any kind for that matter) to be held on the Teen Grid.

===[[Castle Dark Haven]]===
[[Image:DH_Castle.jpg|left|thumb|130px|Castle Dark Haven]]
Castle Dark Haven is a huge furry castle located within an ancient mystical forest on Growl1.

===[[Drachen & Amaru]]===
These two estates are run by Draconian Estates, a subsidiary of [[Draconian Enterprises]].

Drachen is a scaly and furry region that is home to the DrachenStein. One of the most highly supported dragon clubs in Second Life. It also features Project: SpaceBagel, a space station themed store, featuring a round table like placement system for vendors, giving everyone an equal exposure rate.

Amaru is a region to the west of Drachen that is the home of a new Anthro club "Constellation. The region also contains an art gallery known as the Mouseface Gallery, HermHQ, Doog Labs, Pavi's Avi's and The Water Plant (formerly The Tool Shed) which are all part of Hantu's collective lands and now the new home of ZZ Studios. Residences in this world are part of the 'Spamalot' subdivision and can be found on the ground around the club in addition to the sky at 400m.

Both regions have land for leasing as well. The rate is L$2200 a month through Second Life, of $8USD through paypal for 1024 meters. The rental system is managed by [[Swythe Quirksettle]].

As of July 2008, both regions were placed in the top 10 list for furry adult in Second Life.

===[[DrachenStein]]===

DaleGlass: Expanded explanation of sculpted primitives

=Deleted Paragraph=
<blockquote>
Luskwood has been the center of controversy resulting from accusations from some SL users that the administration and owners of Luskwood have undue influence over Linden Lab policy. Several Linden employees, such as Frontier Linden, frequent Luskwood, and there have been accusations of unfair bans given at the request of Luskwood staff. In addition, some have proposed that Lusk's purported influence resulted in the reduction of sculpted primitive LOD (the way they look from afar), due to lobbying to have their tree (which uses such primitives) look better.{{fact}}
</blockquote>
On the basis that: no citation has been provided after months, Frontier and Lindens in general haven't been seen in Luskwood on a regular basis for months, the sculpties claim is nonsense (why would less detail look better?), and the phrasing "some have proposed" is weasel words.Additionally, sculpted primitives are still under active development. It is handled by [http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Sculptie_Dev Sculptie Dev], a community driven group that's not controlled by any single member.

[[Image:Luskwood_platform.jpg|thumb|200px|The Lobby at Luskwood, the primary hangout for many]]
'''Luskwood''', founded sometime in the end of 2003, was the first widely known [[furry]] gathering area on [[Second Life]]. It was forest-themed more than furry-themed but its founders (and most of their friends) were furry and so Luskwood became a refuge from both [[anti-furry]] sentiment and, primarily, the club/mall/casino craze that was beginning to make open spaces in SL a true rarity. Its forest/park/trees theme seems to be what inspired the later 'forest themed furry area' craze in SL. It is one of the oldest mainland theme builds still in existence.

Luskwood currently spans over 100,000 sqm in three mainland sims (Lusk, Perry, and Clara) and is a PG rated area. It is an open-build zone and is a good quiet place to get away from the craziness of some of the M-rated furry areas on SL.

Luskwood is perhaps most well known for its furry [[Avatar (virtual reality)|avatars]] which are some of the highest quality and most detailed in the world. [[Arito Cotton]], one of its founders, was the first player to construct a furry avatar with primitives in the style that is currently common, and this led to the founding of [[Luskwood Creatures]]. In the long-ago-past they did custom work exclusively but as the furry population exploded they began selling vended avatars, with what appears to be great success.

The Luskwood founders are highly accessible and are usually available to talk about just about anything, and there don't seem to be any 'rules' outside of common courtesy. They occasionally hold parties DJed by Arito Cotton where they give away an obscene amount of in-world money for no reason at all. The amount given away seems to be directly proportionate to how drunk Arito is.
