'''Zyklon''' is a [[furry artist]] from Eastern Europe who currently lives in the United States. His [[character]] is a "leucistic" white [[alligator]].

Zyklon joined the fandom in August of 2007 and gained quick popularity with the community. A recent art auction topped $1,000 before ending, and during Anthrocon 2008, his 3' wide painting titled 'Soldier in the Flower Field' was awarded 'Chairman's Choice' by Uncle Kage.

Zyklon specializes in drawing semi-realistic [[scalies]] and [[furries]] with a variety of mediums, often in historical or war-themed situations. Despite the persistant [[Nazi fur]] characters on his [[Fur Affinity]] page, Zyklon has made it clear to fans that he is not a real-life Nazi sympathizer. also this fur is a EncyclopediaDramatica admin

It may take me a day or three to respond, and I am unlikely to respond to what I perceive as rhetorical questions. '''Please assume I have a reason for the edits I make, and be courteous in what you write here.'''

The best place for most discussion is the talk page of the particular article or category concerned, rather than here.

== Brit of Gold Digger comics ==

Thanks for the edit to Brittany Diggers article. There is a question at Talk:Brittany Diggers and I'm hoping for some opinions to be posted there. --[[User:EarthFurst|EarthFurst]] 16:47, 13 January 2012 (EST)

== Alflor ==

Thanks so much for cleaning up my WikiFur pages! In the future, I'll use one of those edited pages as a template to make sure everything's done properly. I also have a question, actually. How do you want me to do the book summaries, because I noticed you've removed the ones I had put up. Thanks again! --[[User:alflor|Alflor]] 21:31, 23 February 2012 (EST)

== Pokemon Slide ==

I am the headwiz of Pokemon Slide. I don't understand why you flagged my article as needing cleanup. If you're asking if the backstory is a quotation from some published work, then no, it's not; it's my own personal creation. If you still feel that the article needs cleanup, please elaborate. {{unsigned|Istanbul}}

== Recent Photo Deletions ==

Would setting in the description that the Photos are all from furaffinity, and fall under puplic domain? Or are we considering that this falls under creative commons law? im just kinda wondering why the sudden mass deletion of anything i have posted up to help expand visual info on fursuiters. Let me know specifically what you are wanting me to say on the description so i can get it right the next time. {{Unsigned|Wolfangel slade}}

:Hi, public domain is a specific copyright status and creative commons is a specific license. Neither can be assumed from where the image is found. Basically, we need permission (from the artist or photographer in most cases) to use an image on WikiFur. -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 17:34, 1 August 2012 (EDT)

So how should i show that they indeed gave me permission to post the picture?

== Jalgo ==

I noticed most of the biographies I write are labeled as not having references and are not in the proper style or something, how can I fix all of that? --[[User:jalgo|jalgo]] 17:24, 10 August 2012 (PST)
:I'll quote the template: "Consult the [[Help:Furry Book of Style|Furry Book of Style]] for editing help." If things are stil unclear, the best place to ask for help is the discussion page of one of the articles help is wanted with. -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 16:33, 11 August 2012 (EDT)

== "File:Califur 7 Pass.jpg" ==

Sorry about the slow reply. I did take the photo of it, and I would be honored to have it in the article. {{unsigned|Bishop}}

== ScotiaCon ==

No problem - I'll do a run through of the GoH's and add references :)

Two quick questions - firstly, I added the ScotiaCon GoH category using the UK spelling ("honour") - does it need rearranging to use the US spelling apparently used everywhere else ? Secondly, I notice you removed the template from [[ScotiaCon 2011]] - are these no longer used for convention articles, or just not in this instance, as I notice that the yearly ConFuzzled and AnthroCon articles still make use of them. [[User:Bezel|Bezel]] 17:33, 31 August 2012 (EDT)

:Thank you!
:Guest of honor categories use whichever spelling or term the convention uses, so if ScotiaCon refers to guests of honour, that is indeed the correct spelling for the category.
:The convention infobox template never got agreement on usage, and has been suggested for deletion. -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 17:38, 31 August 2012 (EDT)

== The dangers of file deletion ==

Please be very careful deleting files which are listed as "unused" or which appear to be smaller duplicates. The algorithm for this only looks at files which are linked to by articles and does not detect custom-made indexed thumbnails used to reduce bandwidth, files uploaded for use in CSS (we lost the LJ link icons and a toolbar icon), etc. We don't actually save any space on files which are deleted anyway, because they are kept around for archive purposes. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]<sup>([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])</sup> 14:57, 3 September 2012 (EDT)
:Noted! -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 16:06, 3 September 2012 (EDT)

== Fox Azure ==

Okay, I'm sorry, just I couldn't resist...

I'll come clean, I am Fox Azure. I did it because, well, about 70% of that article is outright BS. I don't know who wrote that crap, but I just got sick of seeing/hearing about the misinfo on that page. A lot of crucial material is wrong, like my legal name, where I work, and where I live (not that I really have any problems with that, I don't want stalkers!) I guess I'd just like it to be more accurate. Perhaps if I had the humility to make an account I'd properly correct the page... But who edits their own pages anyway? Isn't that supposed to be someone elses job?

Again, apologies for the troll, I got a kick out of it. Now what can we do about this page?

_Fox_

PS. More professional, more straight to the point, you know? That's all I want... T_T

Alright, there, I did it... Same IP. I just had to get that off my chest.

Thanks,

_Fox_

you picked the wrong dude to mess with Sine take your european self and GTFO please because you have a very bad habit of screwing around with my page okay now STFU and do your bloody ass job bitch [[user:dragonfan_hooper]]

== Furry Hall of Fame ==

Umm, I think they're the same thing . . . the one currently at "USA" was created in Australia (MiDFur is in Melbourne) and has to date only been announced at that convention - although its chairman has travelled to award it. [[ALAA]] has a [http://www.flayrah.com/4318/alaa-hall-fame-inaugurated-rainfurrest-2012 separate Hall of Fame] (which should probably be covered under its topic). Indeed, CynWolfe would probably object rather strongly to it being described as "US based" given how much has been spent on it solely by Australians. :-) --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]<sup>([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])</sup> 23:08, 31 October 2012 (EDT)

:Didn't know about this award myself until some Midfur staff members and Australians artists working on it (i.e. [[Paul Kidd]]), found out about the ALAA's counterpart (and indicated that they were not one and the same). As per the Australian people in contact right know, the Furry Hall of Fame is an Australian event held every year at Midfur still (with set nominees scheduled for their Dec awards). Nobody (so far) have told them that ALAA as taken over the overall duties of the (general) Furry Hall of Fame, surprising enough to them specially since some of the winners and appointees were discussing next years (2013) Midfur awards.

:(Late Skype correction): This came about because somebody '''did''' inquired what was going on, and was told by ALAA that it (the original Australian awards) should be more of worldwide event like the [[Ursa Major Awards]]. When she stated that the Ursa Major awards were only held in continental US' cons, she received no further reply. As somebody just stated, "the MidFur organisers are extremely hurt and bewildered by it all of this", and to contact Pete S. (you know who). So far there 13 people involve in the Australian ceremony online (Skype, FA notes, emails), and asked me to put up the Aussie version up, as, so far, they are under the auspices that these are two, parallel running awards.

:Let me change last comment. No, they are contacting other members, and they surprised or confused. Either this is a mix-up or a total breakdown on communications. They will be taking care of internal connections, they asked me to contact Mr. Pete S.,... If you can help on this,...

:Just making an article, Green, as more often than not a bouncy betty.

:Late in: No, is nothing new, being going on for a few months it seems, something about the Dorsai's controversy and how US cons deal or don't deal with things (?) brought this back to the discussion arena, and I was asked to create an article to differentiate (Some know me for who I'm). Now everybody is, well... Anyways... - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 23:58, 31 October 2012 (EDT)

::There ''are'' two parallel running awards . . . but only as of the end of September, when the [[ALAA Hall of Fame]] was announced. The differences between the two awards are spelt out by Fred in the linked Flayrah article.
::{{q|The purpose of the ALAA Hall of Fame is to honor the creators and “stars” of anthropomorphism. The purpose of the Furry Hall of Fame is to honor the creators and “stars” of Furry Fandom. There is no overlap, and the two awards should not be mistaken for each other}}
::The only one called "[[Furry Hall of Fame]]" is the Australian one, so it should be at that title. The ALAA Hall of Fame might be worth a hatnote on that article, for anyone who comes looking for it. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]<sup>([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])</sup> 00:10, 1 November 2012 (EDT)
:::Alright, to help the people that are now watching me do this while talking on them from Australia i Skype (keep it down!), there is '''then''' the Australian, 2007 Midfur created/held [[Furry Hall of Fame]] honors the creators and “stars” of [[Furry Fandom]], while the September 2012 USA announced [[ALAA Hall of Fame]] honors the creators and “stars” of [[anthropomorphism]].

'''Fur Affinity''', also known as '''FA''', is the [[furry fandom]]'s largest online community, focusing on the promotion of art, music and stories.

The site was created in 2005 by [[Alkora]] as an alternative to various art community sites such as [[SheezyArt]] and [[deviantART]], distinguished by allowing artistic freedom of expression regardless of content rating. It is led by [[Dragoneer]] and [[Daemonshyai]].

== History ==
{{main|History of Fur Affinity}}
Fur Affinity was launched on 16 January 2005 as an alternative to [[SheezyArt]], with the forum going live on that date and the main site being transferred a few days later from [[FurPawz]]. Since then, it has suffered a few outages, most notably a month-long downtime over July 2008, but always managed to recover. In 2011, Fur Affinity announced a major revamp in connection to FA: United 4.<ref>''[http://forums.furaffinity.net/threads/89577-Fur-Affinity-Turns-6! Fur Affinity Turns 6!] - Dragoneer, Fur Affinity forum post (16 January 2011)</ref>

=== Fur Affinity: United! ===
{{main|FA: United}}
In August 2007, Fur Affinity held its own [[furry convention]], Fur Affinity: United! (or FA:U) in [[Wikipedia:Newark, New Jersey|Newark, New Jersey]]. The convention was a success, drawing 310 attendees and 25 [[fursuiter]]s in the [[fursuit parade|parade]], and was followed by another in 2008, drawing 381 attendees. In February 2009, Dragoneer announced FA: United 3 "Games United" for 28-30 May 2010.<ref>''[http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/621616/ FAU3 Announcement]'' - Dragoneer, Fur Affinity journal (9 February 2009)</ref> No event was scheduled for 2009 due to the economic downturn.

== Features and rules ==

Fur Affinity's features for users include the ability to allow users to track new updates from particular [[artist]]s; highlight favorites; and upload a wide variety of art (images, music and stories). The site attempts to promote community through its comments system and individual journals.

While works of all ratings are accepted (other than ''photographic nudes, images whose intent are to slander or discredit others, and minors in sexual situations''<ref>[http://help.furaffinity.net/article/AA-00205/8/Acceptable-Upload-Policy-AUP.html Acceptable Upload Policy] - Fur Affinity</ref>), art rated as mature or adult is not shown to visitors, or to users who have not specified it as a preference (which requires giving a date of birth indicating an age over 18). Keywords and tags can be added to works, though a feature that allowed blocking based on tags was disabled due to performance issues.

Fur Affinity's search engine was "temporarily disabled" in mid-2006 due to it taking up too many resources.<ref>''[http://forums.furaffinity.net/showthread.php?t=1334 Admin mode on june 5th 2006]'' - Alkora, Fur Affinity forums (5 June 2006)</ref> A faux search feature was implemented for April Fool's Day 2007, much to the chagrin of some users.<ref>''[http://forums.furaffinity.net/showthread.php?t=7229 Search is up!]'' - Fur Affinity Forums (1 April 2007)</ref> Search was reimplemented on 5 February 2009; it was initially labelled "That Thing You Want" and randomly included [[wikipedia:Rickrolling|rickrolls]].<ref>''[http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/616339/ SEARCH]'' - Dragoneer, Fur Affinity journal (5 February 2009)</ref>

Privacy features were added in May 2012 with users being able to block guests from seeing their content with messages such as "[username] has elected to make their content available to registered users only" and being able to hide their adult, mature+adult or all favorites from public view.<ref>[http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/3490599/ Update Notices, Changelog & Banner] journal posted to Fender's blog on May 24th, 2012. Retrieved 2012 November 25.</ref>

==Project Ferrox==
{{main|Ferrox (software)}}
The FA development team was working on a new backend system called [[Ferrox_(software)|Ferrox]] which was to be used for the next major revision of Fur Affinity, and was to be made available as [[Wikipedia:FOSS|FOSS]] (Free and Open Source Software) for other sites to use. By late 2009, development of Ferrox had stalled, with the last change to the code being made on September 7, 2009. Days earlier, net-cat, who was acting as the lead Ferrox developer after [[Eevee]] had left, announced that the code was to be frozen, citing that "Nobody knows Python."<ref>http://forums.furaffinity.net/threads/49368-Code-freeze-on-current-Ferrox-codebase?p=1174129&viewfull=1#post1174129</ref>

== Mascots ==
[[File:Fender.jpg|thumb|right|Fender, drawn by [[Mutley James]]]]
[[Fender]] is the Fur Affinity [[mascot]]. He was primarily created by artist [[K-9]], based upon a character concept by [[Preyfar]]. He is half [[fox]] and half [[ferret]], commonly referring to himself as a 'ferrox'.
On April Fool's Day 2007, Fender was depicted in the site's banner as a busty female dragon, still wearing the trademark blue tie. This dragon was made a separate character from Fender and an official mascot of the site in May 2007, and named [[Rednef]], or "Fender" spelled backwards.

Fender was displayed as a three-toed [[sloth]] for April Fools' Day 2008. So far this sloth form has yet to become an official character.

== Criticisms ==
{{Unreferenced-section}}
FurAffinity is largely criticized in the fandom for a variety of reasons, ranging from what users see as general incompetence among the entire staff to the absence of what many consider "modern" features that a website such as FurAffinity should have.

Other criticisms include alleged favoritism between popular artists/high-profile fandom figures and the site administration, [[wikipedia:Cronyism|Cronyism]] among site staff, and the administration's general disregard of the userbase, failing to make important announcements (such as downtime or entering "read only mode") and communication with the users in general. also they do violate your privacy and dig into your notes without your consent

The communication problems eventually lead to a disgruntled user creating a [[wikipedia:Parody|parody]] Twitter account called [http://twitter.com/FurAffinityPR FurAffinityPR].
