<p>Dmuth: Added NYFB 2011 info</p> <hr /> <div>The '''New Year's Furry Ball''' is an annual event hosted by [[Protocollie]] and other local furs in the Pennsylvania and New Jersey region of the U.S.A.<br /> <br /> * The first event, the New Year's Furry Ball 2007, was organized by [[LupineFox]] and held on December 31, 2006 - January 1, 2007 in two suites at the [[Wikipedia:Quakertown|Quakertown]] Comfort Inn, with a total of 55 attendees.<br /> <br /> * New Year's Furry Ball 2008 took place December 31, 2007 - January 1, 2008 at the same venue and had an attendance of 92.<br /> <br /> * New Year's Furry Ball 2009 took place December 31, 2008 - January 1, 2009 at the same venue with 122 registered attendees. The event expanded from two suites to six independent room parties throughout the hotel, each with its own theme. Attendees received badges made to resemble government passports, and each official party had a unique stamp for attendees to collect on their passports.<br /> <br /> * New Year's Furry Ball 2010 took place December 31, 2009 - January 1, 2010, once again at the Comfort Inn. The event was, for the first time, organized by [[Protocollie]]. There were four con suites next door to each other: registration/raffle, video game room, open bar/dance suite (21+ to enter), pizza/lounge room and one additional open room party serving dinner. There were 115 registered attendees.<br /> <br /> * New Years' Furry Ball 2011 will take place on December 31st, 2010 from 8 PM to 1:30 AM at the Embassy Suites Newark-Wilmington/South in Newark, DE. &lt;ref&gt;[http://community.livejournal.com/pa_furry/208522.html The New Year's Furry Ball is back and more 2011 than ever before!]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> &lt;references/&gt;<br /> <br /> ==External link==<br /> * [http://www.furrynewyear.com/ New Year's Furry Ball 2010 website]<br /> {{event-stub}}<br /> {{Conventions}}<br /> [[Category:Events]]<br /> [[Category:Pennsylvania]]<br /> [[Category:2006 births]]<br /> <br /> [[de:New Year's Furry Ball]]<br /> [[es:New Year's Furry Ball]]</div>

<p>Dmuth: What about ArtSpots?</p> <hr /> <div>==Most Wanted Information==<br /> *[[SheezyArt]]<br /> *[[ElfWood]] (Do furries even use ElfWood?)<br /> <br /> Are there any other sites of major consequence? VCL, having nearly none of the features, doesn't seem to even qualify, but someone can add it if they want.<br /> <br /> :VCL is an art site (pretty much nothing but) - it's worth including, even if it hasn't modernized itself to add new features. Artspots should be included. And maybe Artpiles. Elfwood? I don't know if furries use it anymore. Back in its day it was basically like Deviantart, but fantasy-only. There were definitely furries on it when it hit its stride, but it's been a long time since then. [[Special:Contributions/24.77.166.82|24.77.166.82]] 16:47, 1 September 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> What about [[ArtSpots]]? --[[User:Dmuth|Douglas Muth]] 20:00, 1 September 2010 (UTC)</div>

I found [http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/2485 this] for Firefox and Greasemonkey, which should help, but I notice you are able to roll back quite a lot of articles very quickly. Is that due to your admin status or is there something that could streamline the process for a regular user like me?

No biggie, just want to make my stuff easy to read.<br /> <br /> - cowboys of moo mesa<br /> - macskafogo<br /> - dogthanian<br /> <br /> :[[Help:Furry Book of Style]] is one starting point, assuming you haven't been there already. Other than that, a good way to get the &quot;feel&quot; for pages would be to click the edit tab on some existing ones and see how things are done. If you watch [[Special:Recentchanges]], you can also click the link labeled &quot;diff&quot; next to some of the cleanups that are done to see what exactly was changed, which may be helpful. --[[User:Dmuth|Douglas Muth]] 20:53, 31 October 2006 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == Any subjects not covered yet? ==<br /> <br /> Giza, do you know of anything not covered in wikifur yet, or a choir list of subjects that need work? Point me in the right direction please. Happy Halloween. {{unsigned|Broken conspiracy}}<br /> <br /> :Actually, if you check out [[Special:Wantedpages]], that will give you a list of articles which have links to them, but haven't been created yet. That's a great starting point of things that need writing.<br /> :Also, there are ''plenty'' of articles that need some form of cleanup or copyediting done on them.

The Board directs the organization over multiple years, and is legally separate from its day-to-day operation. The convention committee is convened by the [[convention chairman]], who is chosen by the board, in a similar manner to the way in which for-profit corporation boards choose a CEO who subsequently hires staff. The chairman directs the convention and organizes the committee, and is ultimately responsible to the board for his actions and those of his staff. Often the only power the board has over the convention is to deny a complete budget or to replace the chairman, except in extraordinary circumstances (the board has [[Wikipedia:fiduciary|fiduciary responsibility]], so they have to [http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Talk:Furry_fans_flock_to_Further_Confusion_2007#AAE_board_meeting_notes step in if something goes wrong]).<br /> <br /> The Board will often include several [[greymuzzle]] members who are not actively involved in running the convention, but are viewed as &quot;sound minds.&quot; Now, it may be that [[Anthrocon|''some'' conventions]] regularly have [http://www.anthrocon.org/about board members] who are also active members of the convention committee - more [[Wikipedia:Board of directors#Classification|&quot;executive directors.&quot;]] However, that is not necessarily the case. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]&lt;sup&gt;([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])&lt;/sup&gt; 21:10, 7 March 2007 (UTC)<br /> <br /> : Not only is this not the case in Anthrocon (as you mention), but in Anthrocon there is ''no'' &quot;Convention Committee&quot;. It is the Board members themselves who are responsible for the day to day operations of the convention.<br /> :(As an aside, our rationale behind this is that it eliminates a lot of politics. I've seen other non-furry conventions run into issues where people on the ConCom end up doing lots of work, only to perceive themselves as being &quot;bossed around&quot; by Board members who aren't doing much of anything. Obviously, that kinda sucks when you're putting in lots of effort, only to have someone else step in and tell you how to do things. Under our system, if you want to be on the Board, you have to do the work. )<br /> :Anyway, perhaps we should expand the Convention Committee article to explain the different leadership types found in different cons. I'm not sure how to approach this though. Your thoughts? --[[User:Dmuth|Douglas Muth]] 21:18, 7 March 2007 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ::Hmm, interesting! I think probably the best thing to do is to have one article that discusses the different models of [[convention organization]] or [[convention management]].

The article stated that this was due to his attempts to break through his suspension by repeated rapid connections to Spindizzy, and then when this failed by trying to evade the ban with a new character alias '''Myana''' from a different ISP, which succeeded until such time as the wizards detected the fraud. [[Findra]], server [[wizard]] on SpinDizzy, verified these parts of the satirical account as being accurate.&lt;ref&gt;[http://en.wikifur.com/w/index.php?title=Talk%3AMozdoc&amp;diff=162046&amp;oldid=161985 Findra's message on WikiFur]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Mozdoc was also banned on [[Tapestries]] after attempting to escape the [[stockade]] by [[@toad]]ing himself and re-registering.

Shortly after she protested and her wife, [[Ayukawataur]], stepped in to intervene, Mozdoc escalated his actions to open threats against Kacey's life. Following advice by her family, she filed a [[Wikipedia:Injunction#Temporary restraints|Restraining Order (TRO)]] in November of 2002. This injunction lasted from the date of filing until November 17, 2005.&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.furbid.ws/images/administaur/restrain.pdf Copy of public temporary restraining order]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Both Kacey and Noriko were named as protected parties on the TRO. This prohibited Mozdoc from having any contact with Ayukawataur and he was banned from [[FurBid]] as Noriko believed him using her system would inevitably result in contact. When the TRO expired in November of 2005, Ayukawataur reviewed his constant attempts to covertly use the system. She decided at that time to not restore his access. He was unbanned in September 2007, but re-banned a month and a half later.&lt;ref&gt;[http://ayukawataur.livejournal.com/59999.html mr. mozdoc] - {{lj-user|Ayukawataur}} (September 23, 2007)&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;[http://ayukawataur.livejournal.com/64078.html mozdoc reloaded] - {{lj-user|Ayukawataur}} (November 13, 2007)&lt;/ref&gt; At this time there is no projected date to review his status.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Mozdoc_fa.PNG|right|thumb|233px|FurAffinity &quot;Hate Manifesto&quot;]]<br /> Mozdoc resumed his harassment, including death threats, after posting a manifesto on why he hates her on his user account at [[Fur Affinity]] in a journal entry dated October 14, 2006 &lt;ref&gt;http://www.furaffinity.net/user/mozdoc&lt;/ref&gt;, and placing a disparaging comment under one of Kacey's artworks, &quot;Farewell to Earth&quot;, a fifth-generation commission to [[Bernard Doove]]&lt;ref&gt;http://www.furaffinity.net/full/95170/&lt;/ref&gt;.

<p>Dmuth: /* External links */ Added conventions template</p> <hr /> <div>{{cleanup}}<br /> '''BritFur''' was an infamous hoax [[convention]], seemingly due to happen in 2005 in [[Wikipedia:Manchester|Manchester, England]].<br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> The idea of a British furry convention has been under debate for some time. Several groups attempted to organize something, apparently without success. The BritFur effort was no different. BritFur 2005 was scheduled to take place November 4-6. However this did not actually happen. Furthermore, the proposed 2006 convention on the BritFur site did not occur as announced. The site, created by [[Tippus Tailus]] was created under the idea that if he creates a site announcing where and when, it will gather enough interest to make it happen. However, this has not happened on multiple occasions now, and it is stongly advised that people do not believe the &quot;facts&quot; on the site. Some feel that the site is simply a parody or a hoax.<br /> <br /> Smaller [[furmeet]]s tend to be more regular and more popular.<br /> <br /> == Related articles ==<br /> * [[ConFuzzled]]<br /> * [[RBW]]<br /> <br /> == External links ==<br /> * Archives of BritFur website ([http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.britfur.co.uk/ www.britfur.co.uk (pre-2005)] and [http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.britfur.co.uk/2005/index.html www.britfur.co.uk/2005/index.html (2005)]) on Internet Archive Wayback Machine<br /> <br /> {{con-stub}}<br /> {{Conventions}}<br /> [[Category:Hoaxes]]<br /> [[Category:United Kingdom]]</div>

<p>Dmuth: /* External Links */ Added Thing 34 pics</p> <hr /> <div>[[Image:DorsaiLogo.png|200px|right]]<br /> '''The Dorsai Irregulars''', or '''DI''' for short, are a volunteer security force consisting entirely of [[science fiction]] fans. They were founded in 1974 by [[wikipedia:Robert_Asprin|Robert Asprin]] in response to a need for security at science fiction [[convention]]s. Before the DI, security at conventions was normally handed by hiring outside security, which resulted in some friction between them and the con-goers since the former did not have much knowledge of the science fiction fandom. &lt;ref&gt;[http://www.di.org/di_hist.htm History of the Dorsai Irregulars], from the Dorsai Irregulars website&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> [[Image:DorsaiIrregulars-beret.jpg|thumb|right|The DI beret and Anthrocon pin]]<br /> ==Dorsai and Furry==<br /> Their first ever appearance at a [[furry]] convention was at [[Anthrocon|Anthrocon 2002]]. They have returned to provide security services for AC every year since, each time with a larger and larger set of members.<br /> <br /> Due to the general good response to their work at Anthrocon, the Dorsai have begun working [[Megaplex]], [[FurFright]] and [[Furry Connection North]] as well.<br /> <br /> The Dorsai regularly call on non-members they trust to fill out large contracts or contracts in areas where they do not have enough local members. The last few years there has been a notable number of furs working with the Dorsai at such conventions as MagFest (video gaming and rock'n'roll), Confluence (literary science fiction convention), Conclave (general science fiction convention) and others.<br /> <br /> Furry author [[Mel. White]] has been a member of the Dorsai Irregulars since 1988, and is credited with originally bringing the Irregulars to the attention of Anthrocon's leadership. [[Giza]] was inducted into the Dorsai Irregulars in March, 2008. &lt;ref&gt;[http://www.anthrocon.org/node/2169 Some Furry Dorsai News], retrieved from Anthrocon's forums&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> See also '''Dorsai Thing''' below.<br /> <br /> == Dorsai/Furry Migratory Study ==<br /> <br /> In 2006, Dorsai staffer Mike 'Gooch' Gucciard made up 100 tags such as one would use in tagging migratory (or pseudo-migratory) animals. The tags indicated they were part of the &quot;DI MIG STUDY, ANTHRO 2006.&quot; These were given only to full fursuiters, and all were gone unexpectedly quickly. In 2007 a 150 &lt;ref&gt;[Mike Gucciard]&lt;/ref&gt;tag set went just as quickly. <br /> &lt;ref&gt;[http://scs-11.livejournal.com/94127.html New Furry Species Found], from [Sgt Steve]'s LiveJournal&lt;/ref&gt; Number 250 was reserved for sale in the charity auction, it went for nearly $300.00. In 2008, there were 250 tags which still seemed to fall short of enough.&lt;ref&gt;Mike Gucciard&lt;/ref&gt; Tag numbers are unique, each year picks up where the previous left off.<br /> <br /> == Dorsai Thing ==<br /> Once a year, the Dorsai hold their own [[relaxacon]] called ''Dorsai Thing''. It is a small, invitation-only gathering for Dorsai, their family and their friends. There is no [[guest of honor]] and little formal [[programming]]. The sole purpose is to get together at a convention and not actually have to work it. One mark of the good relation between the Dorsai and the Furries is the ever-increasing number of Furries invited to Thing each year.<br /> <br /> The Dorsai are heavily involved in [[filk]] music, and are likely to be involved in any such activities at cons they attend.&lt;ref&gt;''[http://www.di.org/di_f_his.htm Filk Music and the Dorsai Irregulars]'' - John Hall, Dorsai Irregulars - Archivist&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Dorsai Trading Cards==<br /> [[Image:Dorsai Trading Cards.jpg|right|thumb|[[John Hall]] (foreground) and Grant Millard trade their cards at [[Conclave 31]]]]<br /> Beginning at [[Anthrocon 2006]], an anonymous individual began sending packages to the Dorsai Irregulars with &quot;trading cards&quot; of the Dorsai in them. Each trading card contained a picture of a person or book, and facts about them on the back of the card. Inclusion in the cards is not limited to members of the Dorsai Irregulars.

<p>Dmuth: /* Linking to Megan's Law */</p> <hr /> <div>{{noindex}}<br /> <br /> ==Conviction==<br /> <br /> User Almightytora is attempting to cover up verified, cited information about himself by continuously undoing a section involving his apparent conviction for pedophilia. &lt;small&gt;—The preceding unsigned comment was added by [[User:Isopodic|Isopodic]] ([[User talk:Isopodic|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Isopodic|contribs]]) .&lt;/small&gt;&lt;!-- [Template:Unsigned] --&gt;<br /> <br /> :OK. There's no need for a revert war over this. TORA, you have stated that the information is [[Wikipedia:Defamation|defamatory]]. In the U.S., this can only be the case if it is not true. Would you like to say anything about that? It seems like quite a good match. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]&lt;sup&gt;([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])&lt;/sup&gt; 01:57, 24 September 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Perhaps my addition could have been stated in a more NPV, but that isn't the case for deletion. That said, the three links presented are evidence of an argument, and it must be decided how that argument is stated. In my opinion, the evidence is very strong: the person in the Meganslaw website lives in the same small town as Tora, has nearly identical facial features, and the same moles. The probability of two such individuals so similar as to be mistaken for twins is very low. Of course, a citation that references Tora stating his real name would clear up any ambiguity whatever.&lt;small&gt;—The preceding unsigned comment was added by [[User:Isopodic|Isopodic]] ([[User talk:Isopodic|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Isopodic|contribs]]) .&lt;/small&gt;<br /> Additional evidence: From the logs posted on http://lulz.net/furi/res/734059.html Tora states he is 33. This article on the incident (http://articles.latimes.com/2001/jun/28/local/me-16030) posted in 2001 states that Daniel Mizuho Llamas is 25 years old, which would make Daniel 33 at present. Exact age match.&lt;small&gt;—The preceding unsigned comment was added by [[User:Isopodic|Isopodic]] ([[User talk:Isopodic|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Isopodic|contribs]]) .&lt;/small&gt;<br /> <br /> :OK. I'm talking with TORA and he is writing a statement to share with everyone. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]&lt;sup&gt;([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])&lt;/sup&gt; 03:41, 24 September 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :He's posted [[User:Almightytora/Statement|his statement]] now. I plan on trying to write a summary of this all and placing it in the article. Lulz is not a good source. The LA Times paper is. Not sure about the Megan's Law site since it [http://www.meganslaw.ca.gov/faq.aspx?lang=ENGLISH#1a dissuades people from linking to it] unless there is a specific need to. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]&lt;sup&gt;([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])&lt;/sup&gt; 05:24, 24 September 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ::As a result of the edits made to the 'Criminal History' section it now reads as being absurdly biased in Tora's favor. It suggests to readers that the events that he plead no contest to and was thusly found guilty of in a court of law somehow 'doesn't count' just because he plead 'no contest' rather than 'guilty'. He was found guilty in court, thus it has been determine by the legal system of what is accepted as the truth. &lt;small&gt;—The preceding unsigned comment was added by [[User:AshleyAshes|AshleyAshes]] ([[User talk:AshleyAshes|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/AshleyAshes|contribs]]) .&lt;/small&gt;&lt;!-- [Template:Unsigned]<br /> The &quot;statement&quot; is laughably biased, completely violating NPV by being an account completely framed and written by Tora, as opposed to being based on factual, cited information. In this case, Tora is not a valid source because of conflict of interest; of course he's going to try to make himself look as good as possible. He's painted himself as some sort of innocent who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, which is almost certainly a lie; from that lulz thread, the posted log (confirmed to be true by correctly matching age) shows that he has interest in sexual conversation and activity with minors.--~~~~<br /> --&gt;<br /> <br /> :::If you don't like it, you have the power to edit it. But bear in mind that this is a result of a [[Wikipedia:plea bargain|plea bargain]], not a jury trial - he did not contest a charge for a crime that he says he did not actually commit, in order to avoid the risk of a heavy penalty if actually tried for and found guilty of the full set of charges - or even one of them (you get fewer &quot;sentence points&quot; if you accept a bargain). &quot;Lewd contact&quot; is a relatively light penalty - you get more time for possession of child pornography - and that suggests to me the DA's case was less than airtight. But we don't know for sure. The one thing we do know he ''was'' guilty of is sending nude images to minors, which is why I put it first. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]&lt;sup&gt;([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])&lt;/sup&gt; 08:16, 24 September 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ::::However he was still found guilty. If pleading 'no contest' and being found guilty seemingly reduces the validity of the guilty verdict, then what of those that plead 'Not guilty' but are found guilty, is there invalidity to the guilty verdict then? He was still found guilty. In a system where one is innocent untill proven guilty there was considdered sufficent evidence to find him guilty. There was enough evidence that he felt he could not plead 'not guilty' and defend himself infact. [[User:AshleyAshes|AshleyAshes]] 08:22, 24 September 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :::::Sorry, but pleading no contest is not the same as being found guilty. Those who plead not guilty and are convicted are guilty. Those that plead guilty are guilty. Those that plead nolo are not. This distinction may seem nitpicky, but when there's a criminal case with potential civil ramifications it makes a very BIG difference. Namely, that a nolo plea cannot be used as evidence of liability in a civil case, whereas a guilty plea/verdict can. [[User:Shentino|Shentino]] 01:50, 29 September 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Added information pertaining to Lulz.net. This is important, relevant information because it describes how TORA was originally discovered.--[[User:Isopodic|Isopodic]] 18:47, 24 September 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :You'll need to include a citation for that. Specifically the part about the chatlogs. --[[User:Dmuth|Douglas Muth]] 18:55, 24 September 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ::I'm looking at the screencap and trying to find a clue to positively ID the party identified as &quot;Seph8&quot; as being TORA, rather than the whole thing being fabricated. Unless we can confirm that they are the same person and the screencap is genuine, the image and the related text should be removed. --[[User:Mwalimu|mwalimu]] 21:47, 24 September 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :::[[User:Almightytora/Statement|TORA's statement]] refers to this conversation, and I see no reason to believe it is untrue. That said, if we use it, we must be careful that things aren't taken out of context. The IM conversation was not an innocent conversation, but deliberately laden with his interests for the purpose of getting a reaction, and that should be mentioned. It didn't get quite the reaction they were hoping for, either, as he refused the idea of having illegal sex with an underage teen - consistent with his statement. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]&lt;sup&gt;([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])&lt;/sup&gt; 22:25, 24 September 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ::::Okay, taking your word for it that the conversation is genuine, my next question would have to be, did Seph8/TORA consent to having the conversation publicized? I'm getting the impression here that someone contacted him and made an unsuccessful attempt to bait him into revealing an interest in the sort of activity he was accused of in the past, possibly with no inkling that it was about to hit the fan. I don't know about you, but when I engage in an IM chat or RP session with someone online, there is an expectation that the exchange is private, and to publicize it without my consent is a breach of netiquette. There may be reasons why it is appropriate to do so in some cases, and if he had tried to follow up on the encounter with a minor, that may well be one of them, but he didn't. We can't control how they do things over on lulz.com, but we don't have to be party to their actions either. I might be all wrong here if I'm misunderstanding the pretext of this conversation or the circumstances around it. Or maybe not. I'm just sayin'... --[[User:Mwalimu|mwalimu]] 23:26, 24 September 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :::::I doubt that he particularly wanted or wants it publicised. Personally I suspect the conversation could be summarized and the image removed, if the existing summary is not sufficient. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]&lt;sup&gt;([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])&lt;/sup&gt; 23:35, 24 September 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ::::::Agreed. That the incident occurred at all may be notable and deserve mention, if only for the role it played in resurfacing his past. IMHO, what coverage we provide should stop short of propagating the breach of netiquette. --[[User:Mwalimu|mwalimu]] 13:52, 25 September 2009 (UTC)<br /> All of this is absurd and not needed for anyone. Someone took it upon themselves to bring &quot;justice&quot; to someone for something they did many years ago, and has already served his sentence. It is none of our business, and is not needed to be pushed all in our faces on the internet. {{unsignedIP|75.62.133.154}}<br /> <br /> ::Everything on this page is no one's buisness. It's a vanity page, it's nothing but a presentation of personal information for vanity's sake. [[User:AshleyAshes|AshleyAshes]] 21:02, 24 September 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Vanity pertains to boosting ones ego, not inciting a riot and linking to a page that tells people to go and harass a user in person, call his phone and verbally abuse others, or confronting an individual at a con because of his past. {{unsignedIP|75.62.133.154}}<br /> <br /> :There is a reasonable concern about having a registered sex offender participating in fandom activities, which often involve minors, without those responsible for these activities having knowledge of that fact. That is why this information is here. Nobody has posted his phone number here, and I hope nobody here intends to harrass him at a convention. If you have complaints about the content of [[Lulz.net]], talk to its moderators. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]&lt;sup&gt;([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])&lt;/sup&gt; 21:14, 24 September 2009 (UTC)<br /> Regarding the newly posted Dragoneer/Preyfur and Tora log: Confirmation of the factual accuracy can be seen by the reply by Dragoneer to a tweet posting the log. The original tweet is (http://twitter.com/minnieshoof/status/4380287261)and his reply is (http://twitter.com/Dragoneer/status/4380406312)<br /> This is important information because it shows 1) Possible evidence of a serious crime by Tora, 2) Deception on Tora's part, making him a higher risk for further criminal violations, 3) Possible abuse of admin powers by Dragoneer. Such information is in the best interests of the fandom to know because 1) It is critical to have as much information on high-risk sex offenders in a fandom with so many minors as its part, 2) To strengthen the case that sexual abuse of minors is NOT acceptable in furry, and won't be tolerated, and 3) Possible problems with the administration of the largest furry fandom that run counter to community interests. {{unsigned|Isopodic}}<br /> <br /> :Unfortunately it also shows personal information from innocent minors. Again, I feel a summary without a link might be the best approach here. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]&lt;sup&gt;([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])&lt;/sup&gt; 05:05, 26 September 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ::Allow me to toss out one more question here. From what I know of pedophiles, it is the ones who seek out/initiate contact with minors on their own who are the greatest cause for concern. The ones who respond to incoming contacts from minors or those posing as minors, while certainly not without guilt, are considerably less of a concern. So based on the recent incidents, where does Tora fall on this spectrum? --[[User:Mwalimu|mwalimu]] 05:48, 26 September 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ::GreenReaper: This concern is very justified, and is not one I had considered. In this case, if possible, a good middle option would be to link to the log where the account name of the minor has been redacted, or if this is not viable, a summary would be suitable. Exposing the personal information of a minor is a strict no. Mwalimu: pedophiles (in the legal sense) are much more likely to repeat offenses. The fact that he is a registered offender is by far the largest factor in risk; it shows that he is not just attracted to adolescent boys, but has acted upon it. That, combined with his shown deception and recent sexual conversations with minors (both real and baited) only adds to the risk of another, in-person incident of abuse. --[[User:Isopodic|Isopodic]] 07:22, 26 September 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :::I don't know about first contact, but the evidence suggests TORA solicited explicit material from a minor despite their misgivings and having been reminded by them of its illegality. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]&lt;sup&gt;([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])&lt;/sup&gt; 06:18, 26 September 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Personally I think this is a good example of how sleazy the government can be once you've been fingered for a &quot;ZOMGPERV&quot; type charge. Nobody should be forced to plead anything but not guilty out of fear.<br /> <br /> That said, what he has admitted to (not plead no contest to) would IMHO have warranted the same sentence. Dateline's special series &quot;To Catch A Predator&quot; nailed quite a few folks for exactly what TORA himself admitted to doing.<br /> <br /> However, the only reason he's a lifetime registered sex offender is because the DA bullied him into pleading no contest to a charge he didn't actually commit. Anyone can be pressured into a deal like that if their balls are squeezed hard enough, if you have enough leverage against them, or if you simply wear them out. It's part of being a defendant in almost any country, sadly including the USA. The DA played hardball and TORA caved. I'm actually curious how a jury would have decided had it gone to trial.<br /> <br /> Since he wasn't actually convicted of an offense that requires sex offender registration, I find that any conclusions based upon that status are somewhat dubious if based on said status alone.<br /> <br /> Based on what I have read and his admissions, I conclude that he is a pervert. However, as far as a dangerous pedophile, I have my doubts.<br /> <br /> Regarding Dragoneer's abuse of admin powers: Assuming the evidence is correct, that TORA was using FA notes as a means of sexual chats with minors, then Dragoneer was entirely within his rights to ban TORA, and in fact would probably have been aiding and abetting a crime had he knowingly allowed it to continue. I would have done the same, and additionally would have archived the notes in question and turned them over to the police as evidence. So as far as I'm concerned, Dragoneer's response was entirely justified and he may as a practical matter not actually have had any choice about it.<br /> <br /> In conclusion, I suggest that fact and opinion continue to be well separated, and also in this particular case that the politics involved in criminal prosecutions be also remembered.<br /> <br /> :You assume that Tora's statement is truthful. Tora clearly felt that there was not enough evidence to prove his innocence, this could very well because he had no innocence. It would seem that his 35yo boyfriend who was also convicted wasn't helping in bail out Tora by saying he had no involvement either, maybe because Tora did have involvement? The fact remains however that Tora choose not to plead not guilty and to defend himself in court. Even his version of the events posted on Wikifur has signifigant gaps. He claims no responsibility by saying he was asleep at the time, and glosses over all details and thusly any responsibility to how he found himself in a hotel room with his boyfriend and a fourteen year old boy in the first place. Tora's version of the events is unbelievably convenient and even childish. Then after being charged, convicted, serving in prison and probation from the internet untill 2007, Tora still finds himself chatting about sex with people he knows to be minors in the state he resides in?<br /> <br /> ::I wholeheartedly agree that he was a sick pervert, and should at a minimum have been charged with reckless endangerment, child neglect/abandonment, or some other suitable charge for allowing the unlawful sex to take place and failing to supervise his friend.

[[User:Shentino|Shentino]] 01:42, 29 September 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> There are two undenyable facts here: 1) Tora got himself into a scenario that any responsible adult of a civilized society wouldn't have gotten close to. 2) After that scenario and punishment for it, he has been undenyably proven to be using the internet to solicit underaged boys, even using FurAffinity as a means to do so and being imprisoned once for the very same thing.<br /> <br /> :Being irresponsible isn't a crime. However, that doesn't make it ok to take shortcuts when dealing with fact. I would prefer to get the details correct. And the situation in question was indeed enough for him to have been charged with child endangerment, aiding and abetting.

Seeing as there were no moral issues involved in obeying the law, he had no excuse to be breaking it.<br /> <br /> :My major issue at this moment is with a &quot;no contest&quot; plea automatically implying factual guilt. In principle, one should always plead &quot;not guilty&quot;. In reality, that's not always practical.<br /> <br /> :Just as a practical example, corporations often plead &quot;no contest&quot;. They do so not because they wish to admit guilt, but in fact the opposite. The crucial difference, as I learned recently in Business Law, is that a guilty plea can be used against you in a civil case, whereas a nolo plea cannot. If the kid's parents were threatening a major lawsuit, then that would be another motivation to plead nolo instead of risking a conviction.

He was also a moron for allowing his ex to be near a minor unsupervised and subjecting said minor to sexual abuse though said lack of supervision, as well as for failing to report it, which would have properly been. There is a distinct possibility that the DA trumped up a bunch of charges in an attempt to pressure Tora into copping a plea.

I don't know about you, but when I engage in an IM chat or RP session with someone online, there is an expectation that the exchange is private, and to publicize it without my consent is a breach of netiquette.

From what I know of pedophiles, it is the ones who seek out/initiate contact with minors on their own who are the greatest cause for concern. The ones who respond to incoming contacts from minors or those posing as minors, while certainly not without guilt, are considerably less of a concern.

In this case, if possible, a good middle option would be to link to the log where the account name of the minor has been redacted, or if this is not viable, a summary would be suitable. Exposing the personal information of a minor is a strict no. Mwalimu: pedophiles (in the legal sense) are much more likely to repeat offenses. The fact that he is a registered offender is by far the largest factor in risk; it shows that he is not just attracted to adolescent boys, but has acted upon it. That, combined with his shown deception and recent sexual conversations with minors (both real and baited) only adds to the risk of another, in-person incident of abuse. --[[User:Isopodic|Isopodic]] 07:22, 26 September 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :::I don't know about first contact, but the evidence suggests TORA solicited explicit material from a minor despite their misgivings and having been reminded by them of its illegality. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]&lt;sup&gt;([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])&lt;/sup&gt; 06:18, 26 September 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Personally I think this is a good example of how sleazy the government can be once you've been fingered for a &quot;ZOMGPERV&quot; type charge. Nobody should be forced to plead anything but not guilty out of fear.<br /> <br /> That said, what he has admitted to (not plead no contest to) would IMHO have warranted the same sentence. Dateline's special series &quot;To Catch A Predator&quot; nailed quite a few folks for exactly what TORA himself admitted to doing.<br /> <br /> However, the only reason he's a lifetime registered sex offender is because the DA bullied him into pleading no contest to a charge he didn't actually commit. Anyone can be pressured into a deal like that if their balls are squeezed hard enough, if you have enough leverage against them, or if you simply wear them out. It's part of being a defendant in almost any country, sadly including the USA. The DA played hardball and TORA caved. I'm actually curious how a jury would have decided had it gone to trial.<br /> <br /> Since he wasn't actually convicted of an offense that requires sex offender registration, I find that any conclusions based upon that status are somewhat dubious if based on said status alone.<br /> <br /> Based on what I have read and his admissions, I conclude that he is a pervert. However, as far as a dangerous pedophile, I have my doubts.<br /> <br /> Regarding Dragoneer's abuse of admin powers: Assuming the evidence is correct, that TORA was using FA notes as a means of sexual chats with minors, then Dragoneer was entirely within his rights to ban TORA, and in fact would probably have been aiding and abetting a crime had he knowingly allowed it to continue. I would have done the same, and additionally would have archived the notes in question and turned them over to the police as evidence. So as far as I'm concerned, Dragoneer's response was entirely justified and he may as a practical matter not actually have had any choice about it.<br /> <br /> In conclusion, I suggest that fact and opinion continue to be well separated, and also in this particular case that the politics involved in criminal prosecutions be also remembered.<br /> <br /> :You assume that Tora's statement is truthful. Tora clearly felt that there was not enough evidence to prove his innocence, this could very well because he had no innocence. It would seem that his 35yo boyfriend who was also convicted wasn't helping in bail out Tora by saying he had no involvement either, maybe because Tora did have involvement? The fact remains however that Tora choose not to plead not guilty and to defend himself in court. Even his version of the events posted on Wikifur has signifigant gaps. He claims no responsibility by saying he was asleep at the time, and glosses over all details and thusly any responsibility to how he found himself in a hotel room with his boyfriend and a fourteen year old boy in the first place. Tora's version of the events is unbelievably convenient and even childish. Then after being charged, convicted, serving in prison and probation from the internet untill 2007, Tora still finds himself chatting about sex with people he knows to be minors in the state he resides in?<br /> <br /> ::I wholeheartedly agree that he was a sick pervert, and should at a minimum have been charged with reckless endangerment, child neglect/abandonment, or some other suitable charge for allowing the unlawful sex to take place and failing to supervise his friend.

If the kid's parents were threatening a major lawsuit, then that would be another motivation to plead nolo instead of risking a conviction. [[User:Shentino|Shentino]] 01:42, 29 September 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :Also, it would appear that his ex's 15 charges were almost all dropped, suggesting that they were not legitimate enough to take to trial.<br /> <br /> At any rate, my summarized position is this: He was a moron for chatting unlawfully with a minor. He was also a moron for allowing his ex to be near a minor unsupervised and subjecting said minor to sexual abuse though said lack of supervision, as well as for failing to report it, which would have properly been. There is a distinct possibility that the DA trumped up a bunch of charges in an attempt to pressure Tora into copping a plea. Since he pleaded no contest instead of either pleading guilty or being convicted at trial, no assumptions can be made as to his factual guilt.<br /> <br /> [[User:Shentino|Shentino]] 05:06, 30 September 2009 (UTC)<br /> ==Protection==<br /> <br /> An edit war has been engaged by an unregistered user.

<p>Dmuth: Reverted edits by 79.116.136.143 (Talk) to last revision by Manticore</p> <hr /> <div>{{date|March|2|2008}}{{publish}}<br /> <br /> The forums of online furry community [[Furtopia]] are down, and will not be restored in their current form, says site administrator [[WhiteShepherd]].&lt;ref name=&quot;Announcement&quot;&gt;''Restoring Furtopia forums from an attack'' - forum administrative email, WhiteShepherd (March 1, 2008)&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> The site suffered several attacks believed to be rooted in vulnerabilities in the forum software, [[Wikipedia:Ikonboard|Ikonboard]]. A hacker reportedly vandalized the forums, defaced the websites of hosted furry artists, and ultimately erased the hard drive on which the site was stored. Just hours after a three-day rebuild following the attack, the site was &quot;destroyed&quot; again.<br /> <br /> In his announcement, WhiteShepherd blames splinter forum [[LOLfurries]] for the attack, saying that &quot;passwords and private messages&quot; were stolen, and &quot;re-posted on their forums in the interest of providing [them] amusement.&quot;<br /> <br /> However, regulars of LOLfurries disclaim responsibility for the hacker's actions.&lt;ref name=&quot;IRC&quot;&gt;Conversation in #lolfurries [[IRC]] channel (March 2, 2008)&lt;/ref&gt; Forum co-administrator [[Icono]] cites one &quot;supercutefurri58&quot; as the user responsible, mentioning that they used a proxy &quot;at all times.&quot; The user joined the forums on October 5 last year.&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.lolfurries.org/forum/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&amp;u=452 LOLfurries user profile - supercutefurri58] (March 2, 2008)&lt;/ref&gt; On March 2, the website was pulled offline, with a message from forum administrator [[RabidRick]] in its place. &lt;ref name=&quot;LOLadmin&quot;&gt;Message on [http://www.lolfurries.org LOLfurries]' front page, accessed March 2, 2008&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Work is underway to set up a temporary forum for Furtopia members, which WhiteShepherd hopes will be up by Monday evening. He plans to import data from the old database when a permanent solution is in place.<br /> <br /> On Wednesday, March 5th, Livejournal user {{lj-user|scf58}}, signing off as &quot;supercutefurri58&quot;, posted a message to his blog disputing the events surrounding the attacks as well as the involvement of LOLfurries members.&lt;ref&gt;[http://scf58.livejournal.com/735.html &quot;Dear Furtopia&quot;] - {{lj-user|scf58}} (March 5, 2008)&lt;/ref&gt; The message was linked from the {{lj-user|Furtopia}} community journal&lt;ref&gt;[http://scf58.livejournal.com/735.html &quot;Reflecting on the crisis...&quot;] - Karizma, {{lj-user|karizma_thebard}}, {{lj-user|furtopia}} (March 5, 2008)&lt;/ref&gt;.
