==Con MilFurs==<br />
<br />
At every major [[furry convention]], there are invariably two meetings for military furries, a Saturday morning chow and a Sunday morning panel. Both are typically hosted by [[Commander Kitsune]] along with other panelists. <br />
<br />
Here, furries from each branch of the service and also veterans can meet others like them and discuss over food or panels topics of interest.<br />
<br />
==LJ MilFurs==<br />
<br />
The '''Military Furries LiveJournal community''', moderated by Ken Redtail and Commander Kitsune, is open to all furries of all branches of the service, even if they're just reserve. <br />
<br />
They accept both active duty and former, whether retired or just completion of obligated service. It has been commonly affectionately referred to as the Furry [[Wikipedia:American Legion|American Legion]] or [[Wikipedia:Veterans of Foreign Wars|VFW]]. <br />
<br />
The community also accept members of any military that is currently an ally of the [[Wikipedia:USA|United States of America]]. Also welcome are furries that are interested in joining the military and wanting to learn more about what the lifestyle entails.<br />
<br />
Rules of the community include no military bashing or interbranch bashing with the exception of light military humor. [[Wikipedia:Operations security (OPSEC)|Operational security (OPSEC)]] is strictly enforced by the moderators so as to not endanger the safety of troops.<br />
<br />
==Military Furs Forum==<br />
<br />
On July 17, 2008, the '''Military Furs Forum''' was created by Flinch Ferrex. Not intended to replace its LiveJournal community counterpart, it was created to offer another venue for Military Furries. <br />
<br />
The forum offers a variety of boards for chatter, discussion and debate, role-playing, and artwork both military and non-military in nature. <br />
<br />
Like the LJ Community, the forum is open to military members of all branches in the United States or any of its allies, be they currently serving, retired or discharged. Unlike the LJ Community this forum does not give membership to civilians, military spouses, or military dependants as it was created solely for military members. <br />
<br />
Furs with Bad Conduct or Dishonorable discharges are discouraged from joining, but are not banned from the forum.<br />

==Con MilFurs==<br />
<br />
At every major [[furry convention]], there are invariably two meetings for military furries, a Saturday morning chow and a Sunday morning panel. Both are typically hosted by [[Commander Kitsune]] along with other panelists. <br />
<br />
Here, furries from each branch of the service and also veterans can meet others like them and discuss over food or panels topics of interest.<br />
<br />
==LJ MilFurs==<br />
<br />
The '''Military Furries LiveJournal community''', moderated by Ken Redtail and Commander Kitsune, is open to all furries of all branches of the service, even if they're just reserve. <br />
<br />
They accept both active duty and former, whether retired or just completion of obligated service. It has been commonly affectionately referred to as the Furry [[Wikipedia:American Legion|American Legion]] or [[Wikipedia:Veterans of Foreign Wars|VFW]]. <br />
<br />
The community also accept members of any military that is currently an ally of the [[Wikipedia:USA|United States of America]]. Also welcome are furries that are interested in joining the military and wanting to learn more about what the lifestyle entails.<br />
<br />
Rules of the community include no military bashing or interbranch bashing with the exception of light military humor. [[Wikipedia:Operations security (OPSEC)|Operational security (OPSEC)]] is strictly enforced by the moderators so as to not endanger the safety of troops.<br />
<br />
==Military Furs Forum==<br />
<br />
On July 17, 2008, the '''Military Furs Forum''' was created by Flinch Ferrex. Not intended to replace its LiveJournal community counterpart, it was created to offer another venue for Military Furries. <br />
<br />
The forum offers a variety of boards for chatter, discussion and debate, role-playing, and artwork both military and non-military in nature. <br />
<br />
Like the LJ Community, the forum is open to military members of all branches in the United States or any of its allies, be they currently serving, retired or discharged. Unlike the LJ Community this forum does not give membership to civilians, military spouses, or military dependants as it was created solely for military members. <br />
<br />
Furs with Bad Conduct or Dishonorable discharges are discouraged from joining, but are not banned from the forum.<br />

'''FurryWurry''' ('''fw''' for short) is [[furry writer]]. His [[fursona]] is a white [[tiger]].<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
FurryWurry is a fur of the type known as a [[greymuzzle]]. He was first involved in the [[furry fandom]] during the peak of popularity of [[alt.lifestyle.furry]], during the latter half of the 1990s. He joined [[Fur Affinity]] in February, 2006,<br />
but didn't start actively contributing until later. <br />
<br />
Initially he just made comments and interacted with a small number of friends. In October, 2008, however, he decided to resume the writing and publishing of his [[furry]] [[fantasy]] stories. Previous versions of his stories had been posted in the late 90's to a limited-circulation mailing list (now defunct). The new ones are appearing on [[Fur Affinity]]. <br />
<br />
FurryWurry's original stories contained a significant amount of explicit [[anthropomorphic]] [[erotica]]. The newly revised versions are not explicit, or at least not yet, although some sexuality is implied. As of late October, 2008, the episodes which have been posted are chapters in an ongoing story line. They all are being tagged as Adult in order to leave that option available for future chapters.<br />
<br />
fw's other interests, in no particular order, include astronomy, 3D graphics, [[science fiction]], computers and hifi audio. Oh, and his guilty pleasures include LOLcats :3<br />

<hr />
<div>'''Gothfurs''' (also known as '''Furry Goths''') are a minor subset of [[Furry fandom]] which integrate both their love of [[Furry]] and/or their [[furry lifestyle]] with those of the modern [[Wikipedia:Goth_subculture|Goth]] subculture.<br />
<br />
The term '''Gothfurs''' encompasses mainly members of the US mainland and some Asian and European countries, with the exception of the UK, where they have adopted the '''[[Darkfurr]]''' denomination.<br />
<br />
[[Arphalia]] and [[Silverblue]] are noteworthy artists in the gothic/furry style.<br />

The userpage is more about you as an editor, the article in the main namespace is about you as a person. I have moved most of the contents to [[FurryWurry]]. --[[User:Atte|Atte]] 15:59, 22 October 2008 (UTC)<br />

<div>FurryWurry (fw for short) was involved in the furry fandom way back in the hey-day of a.l.f. More recently his spare time has been consumed by rather technical hobbies, but he's trying to get back to writing furry stories again.<br />
<br />
fw can be reached by comments on his [[user_talk:FurryWurry|talk]] page here, or you can make comments on his [http://www.furaffinity.net/users/furrywurry/ pages] at http://www.furaffinity.net/ or you can send him a PM on http://forums.furaffinity.net/<br />

As discussed a while back by Green Reaper, internal redirects to Wikifur would be under "See also," while external ones (Like to the Wikipedia website,) would be set under "External Links." Has this been changed recently?. [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 22:35, 3 Dec 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:I changed it to 'See Also' because it deals with the same subject, albeit on another site - but you're probably right - it ''is'' an external link after all. Though, I should mention that I have seen quite a few other articles here at WikiFur that enlists its wikipedian counterpart under 'See Also' instead of 'External Links', so I've got no clue as for what's really the correct way to do this. :) --[[User:MKerris|MKerris]] 22:54, 3 Dec 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::Funnily enough, I've just been writing the [[Help:Furry Book of Style|Furry Book of Style]] for this exact purpose, and others like it. My view is actually that links to Wikipeida and other wikis should be in ''See also'', as they are essentially the same as other article links, just on a different wiki site. Likewise, I typically put links from Wikipedia to WikiFur in these sections - I've seen this done in the past for links to [[Wikipedia:WikiWikiWeb|WikiWikiWeb]] and [[Wikipedia:MeatballWiki|Meatball]]. --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 00:18, 4 Dec 2005 (UTC)<br />

Why is this article locked? It's not drama to report the facts, whither or not it's liked. {{unsigned|Honeymane}}<br />

:I will try to make this brief, but I'm not so sure how brief it will be. For that, I apologize in advance.<br />

:The intent behind adding a list of users who are leaving FurAffinity is moot, and does not have any worthwhile informational value behind it. The fact that numerous people plan on or have left FurAffinity is not relevant to FurAffinity's history. That is relevant to the individual's history. If one wishes to write in the individual's article, "In 2006, [he/she] left FurAffinity," that is fine, because it is relevant to the individual. However, the fact that they left the FA community is not relevant to FA's global history.<br />
<br />
:What I will contest is relevant, however, is that this had become such a scandal to the FurAffinity community, and thus, deserves historical notation.

:::My personal view is that numerous people leaving Fur Affinity over this decision '''is''' worth mentioning, but that it's not particularly relevant who the artists ''are'', except for those of particular prominence in the fandom. We could say something like "around 50 artists left over the new policy, including X and Y".<br />
<br />
:::For reference, I was looking at [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Protection policy|Wikipedia's protection policy]] when unprotecting, which is quite clear on people not using protection to enforce a particular edit they made.

::::::Quite frankly, I'm not sure. Perhaps in an article dedicated to the actual event itself? (Although, in that regard, I'm not sure if the event even deserves it's own article. Perhaps it does, though, since its informative reach has even gone to the likes of Encyclopedia Dramatica.) I just don't really see a point to maintaining a list of artists who've left, since the intent seems more to document a counter-offensive and make a mountain out a molehill, rather than inform. But on my judgement, if one were to post the list of artists who left, it'd certainly be in an article about the situation itself, rather than the site. [[User:Verix|Verix]] 07:06, 6 November 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::::::I would agree that a list of the artists that have left would be overkill; I think the article would be better off with a notation of how many people have left, with maybe one or two "big guns" mentioned. I don't think the situation merits its own entry; it's pretty much confined to Fur Affinity itself. [[User:CarlFox|Carl Fox]] 08:24, 6 November 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::::::::But really, how would you get those numbers with any sort of accuracy? How many artists have declared their intent to leave but never actually did. How many artists left the site quietly? There is no way to really get an accurate number which would be more speculation, especially if those artists decided to comeback after cooling down from their initial reaction.<br />
<br />
::::::::I understand your reasoning, but there's just no way to have solid numbers -- and even as lead admin for FA, I don't have those numbers on hand. There are too many variables to consider, and even if I did have them I would not release them because all they would do is further the drama. At some point, the drama needs to stop, people need to let go and move on.--[[User:Preyfar|Preyfar]] 09:12, 6 November 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::::::::What we would like to do would be to quote a source which had done that research, and let the reader decide how accurate it was, based on the evidence they gave (which would probably include the names of those people they claimed to have left). For example, "A post on Place X stating that Y artists had left the site, including A and B". If there is no source, of course, no exact figure could be given. Even rough figures would be useful - after all, there's a big difference between 5, 50 or 500 artists leaving. And no, I wouldn't expect you to be able to furnish such a list, or desire to do so - it would be something that one of the artists would do, if they bothered to (that they'd done at all it might be some indication of relevance in itself). --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]<sup>([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])</sup> 09:25, 6 November 2006 (UTC)<br />
::::::::::It is difficult of course to do such a thing, but I am trying to compose a list of artists who have left based on FA jounral's they've posted.<br />
I attepted to leave a request on the FA LJ ask for anyone with information to post the artist's names, as I would assume that the majority of the people on there would have FA accounts and be watching people, and have prehaps seen other journals of people I do not watch, which state they are leaving/have left. However, I was told that such questions where too dramaic and was revolked from that Community. --[[User:142.177.139.173|142.177.139.173]] 22:27, 6 November 2006 (UTC)<br />
:There is the question of what constitutes an artist leaving. Some have taken all their artwork down, others are leaving it up but won't be uploading anything new (and they could be subdivided into those who will still be checking in and those who won't). Some are leaving temporarily until filters are in place. And some are taking time out to see what happens and then decide whether to return or leave for good.<br />
:Possibly relevant is that some users were still upset over a database upgrade about two weeks ago that caused all private mail messages to be lost. For many it was no big deal, but some users had important information about trades, commissions, etc., that was lost as a result. While not really related to the cub issue, it may have contributed to some user's overall impression of dissatisfaction with FA. --[[User:Mwalimu|mwalimu]] 22:53, 6 November 2006 (UTC)<br />
::An excellent point--[[User:Honeymane|Honeymane]] 01:52, 7 November 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
The issue of when the cub problems were brought up have occurred numerous times, starting well before August of 2006. The original issue exploded in the first iteration of Fur Affinity, brought up by myself, which originally lead to 8horns being banned and causing the cub rule to enter the TOS in the first place. It has been an ongoing issue on FA, and was started along with the site's birth, well before August 2006.<br />
<br />
It's been debated off and on with no clear resolution since I joined FA in mid-2005.--[[User:Preyfar|Preyfar]] 09:09, 7 November 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Probably why it was so painful now. It's bad enough deciding things when a site is young. I've made what seemed to be appropriate changes to me, characterizing it as an ongoing discussion that restarted with no resolution. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]<sup>([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])</sup> 09:28, 7 November 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::That fits much better. This is going to be an ongoing issue not merely with Fur Affinity, but the fandom as a whole. Where do the limits end and begin for freedom of speech, the fandom's image and the sexual nature that lurks behind (and in front) of the scenes? I don't like the change we made, but it was the only one I feel I could make. It's hard to tell where to draw the line when the fandom's proverbial "line" has been pushed so far back it's impossible to tell where it is anymore.--[[User:Preyfar|Preyfar]] 11:35, 7 November 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::With regard to Fur Affinity, I don't see that any other choice was consistent with the site's initial promotion. If art of any rating depicting just about anything is allowed, then it becomes hard to justify being picky about a particular topic.<br />
<br />
:::As for image, I think it's possible to worry too much about it. The people that matter will either get into the fandom or not, but only if they hear about it at all first. Plenty do so through things like [[CSI]], and I don't see that as a bad thing, even if the portrayal is inaccurate. It's unfortunate when (e.g.) a hotel uses that kind of work as a reason not to continue a contract, but as we've seen with Anthrocon there is no guarantee of hotel stability even if you do try to run the cleanest of ships.<br />
<br />
:::Personally, I dislike lines. They tend to divide people. The furry fandom is big enough that there are places you can go if you like X and other places to go if you don't like X. There is no real need for the fandom as a whole to take a stand on any particular issue. The whole ''reason'' there are different stands is that different segments of the fandom have different views, and you can't just cut a segment out of the pie and keep calling it the whole pie. Just pick out the mushrooms if you don't like 'em. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]<sup>([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])</sup> 17:40, 7 November 2006 (UTC)<br />

== Mascots ==<br />
<br />
The Mascots section of this article has significant overlap with the articel on [[Fender]].

Thoughts? -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 19:37, 2 June 2007 (UTC)<br />

==2008 Outage==<br />
<br />
The section of this article discussing the 2008 Outage resembled an out-of-date news article more than an unbiased, basic presentation of facts, and I have pared it down as such. Who users PMed during the down time, what kind of issues FA had with buying the equipment, what the error message looked like etc are trivial details that are considerably "not encyclopedic". I have left a few of these details to avoid being labeled a vandal, but IMHO it could use some more whittling. [[Special:Contributions/128.196.204.224|128.196.204.224]] 23:29, 31 August 2008 (UTC)<br />
: In addition to this, I modified the "site run from/to" section. The site had a hardware failure, yes, but that did not shut down the entire community as the previous edit implies. The FA community exists beyond more than just the main site, and as such, this is simply misleading FUD. <br />
:--[[User:Preyfar|Preyfar]] 23:57, 31 August 2008 (UTC)<br />
::I'm not entirely happy with those edits. Yes, the forums were up, but that's like saying WikiFur's LiveJournal or Tapestries' website was up - the main deal was out of commission for more than a month. There is a precedent in the coverage of [[Yerf]], which went down for a couple of months in mid-2006, and was noted as such - and the expectations of uptime for Yerf were, by then, far less than for FA. Perhaps a reference footnote explaining the period of downtime would be suitable.<br />
::I am surprised that you would want to [http://furry.wikia.com/index.php?title=Fur_Affinity&diff=212990&oldid=212405 remove the CDW details], as this seems to remove part of the explanation for the length of the outage. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]<sup>([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])</sup> 00:41, 1 September 2008 (UTC)<br />
:::I removed the CDW details, not Preyfar. In either case, I still feel that such information is better suited to "news" than this particular article. And obviously, you or anyone else inclined to do so is free to put it back. I was merely making a bold suggestion. [[Special:Contributions/128.196.204.224|128.196.204.224]] 00:48, 1 September 2008 (UTC)<br />
<br><br />
:::If that's the case then why haven't every other prior minor and moderate outage been recorded on the site if you want to show we have had more downtime than Yerf? FA has had a turbulent period in the time leading up to the outright failure, no doubt. However, the way the site reads is that we "gave up" and shut down running the community for that month. I don't think it's quite accurate of a portrayal. That's not to discount the events of Failoutage, but I disagree with the portrayal. What we have posted here is still accurate, considering the community is both FA, the forums, the gaming wing and many other facilities that are a part of Fur Affinity.<br />
:::As for the other... there were shipping delays. That's all matters in the end. And it wasn't just CDW, it as HP and DHL to the bone. Discussing the failings of the shipping companies could run into multiple paragraphs if the true events had been accurately described in the original entry, but it wasn't. If you want to show the reasons for the delays, just link that there were significant "shipping delays" out of Fa's control, and reference the posts on FA's forums that contain further details. Otherwise it just becomes filler to the article of what amounts to "Fur Affinity was offline for over a month due to catastrophic hardware failure and extended shipping delays in obtaining replacement parts."<br />

<br />
== Suggestion: provide dates ==<br />
<br />
There are several places in the article where the word "current" or a similar word or phrase is used to mean "the present date". Unfortunately, someone reading the page (like me) has no way of knowing when "current" was. Too often sections of Web and Wiki pages are left unmodified for long periods of time, so that calling an event "current" can become extremely misleading when they are read months, or even years, after they were written.<br />
<br />

:I changed it to 'See Also' because it deals with the same subject, albeit on another site - but you're probably right - it ''is'' an external link after all.

::::Yep. Again, I agree, the list is irrelevant, which is why I deleted it, but also agree that the statistic of people leaving is relevant as well. It was overkill to protect it. (Most of this is just reiterating what you've said already, but I'd still just like to make my point clear.)<br />
<br />
::::Hopefully, though, this will be the catalyst to bring me back to this thing so I can actually do my job as an admin, instead of just doing what I did here tonight when I find it relevant. Sorry for the knee-jerk. I'll make sure not to let it happen again. :) [[User:Verix|Verix]] 06:53, 6 November 2006 (UTC)<br />

::::::Quite frankly, I'm not sure. Perhaps in an article dedicated to the actual event itself? (Although, in that regard, I'm not sure if the event even deserves it's own article. Perhaps it does, though, since its informative reach has even gone to the likes of Encyclopedia Dramatica.) I just don't really see a point to maintaining a list of artists who've left, since the intent seems more to document a counter-offensive and make a mountain out a molehill, rather than inform. But on my judgement, if one were to post the list of artists who left, it'd certainly be in an article about the situation itself, rather than the site. [[User:Verix|Verix]] 07:06, 6 November 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::::::I would agree that a list of the artists that have left would be overkill; I think the article would be better off with a notation of how many people have left, with maybe one or two "big guns" mentioned. I don't think the situation merits its own entry; it's pretty much confined to Fur Affinity itself. [[User:CarlFox|Carl Fox]] 08:24, 6 November 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::::::::But really, how would you get those numbers with any sort of accuracy? How many artists have declared their intent to leave but never actually did. How many artists left the site quietly? There is no way to really get an accurate number which would be more speculation, especially if those artists decided to comeback after cooling down from their initial reaction.<br />
<br />
::::::::I understand your reasoning, but there's just no way to have solid numbers -- and even as lead admin for FA, I don't have those numbers on hand. There are too many variables to consider, and even if I did have them I would not release them because all they would do is further the drama. At some point, the drama needs to stop, people need to let go and move on.--[[User:Preyfar|Preyfar]] 09:12, 6 November 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::::::::What we would like to do would be to quote a source which had done that research, and let the reader decide how accurate it was, based on the evidence they gave (which would probably include the names of those people they claimed to have left). For example, "A post on Place X stating that Y artists had left the site, including A and B". If there is no source, of course, no exact figure could be given. Even rough figures would be useful - after all, there's a big difference between 5, 50 or 500 artists leaving. And no, I wouldn't expect you to be able to furnish such a list, or desire to do so - it would be something that one of the artists would do, if they bothered to (that they'd done at all it might be some indication of relevance in itself). --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]<sup>([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])</sup> 09:25, 6 November 2006 (UTC)<br />
::::::::::It is difficult of course to do such a thing, but I am trying to compose a list of artists who have left based on FA jounral's they've posted.<br />
I attepted to leave a request on the FA LJ ask for anyone with information to post the artist's names, as I would assume that the majority of the people on there would have FA accounts and be watching people, and have prehaps seen other journals of people I do not watch, which state they are leaving/have left. However, I was told that such questions where too dramaic and was revolked from that Community. --[[User:142.177.139.173|142.177.139.173]] 22:27, 6 November 2006 (UTC)<br />
:There is the question of what constitutes an artist leaving. Some have taken all their artwork down, others are leaving it up but won't be uploading anything new (and they could be subdivided into those who will still be checking in and those who won't). Some are leaving temporarily until filters are in place. And some are taking time out to see what happens and then decide whether to return or leave for good.<br />
:Possibly relevant is that some users were still upset over a database upgrade about two weeks ago that caused all private mail messages to be lost. For many it was no big deal, but some users had important information about trades, commissions, etc., that was lost as a result. While not really related to the cub issue, it may have contributed to some user's overall impression of dissatisfaction with FA. --[[User:Mwalimu|mwalimu]] 22:53, 6 November 2006 (UTC)<br />
::An excellent point--[[User:Honeymane|Honeymane]] 01:52, 7 November 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
The issue of when the cub problems were brought up have occurred numerous times, starting well before August of 2006. The original issue exploded in the first iteration of Fur Affinity, brought up by myself, which originally lead to 8horns being banned and causing the cub rule to enter the TOS in the first place. It has been an ongoing issue on FA, and was started along with the site's birth, well before August 2006.<br />
<br />
It's been debated off and on with no clear resolution since I joined FA in mid-2005.--[[User:Preyfar|Preyfar]] 09:09, 7 November 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Probably why it was so painful now. It's bad enough deciding things when a site is young. I've made what seemed to be appropriate changes to me, characterizing it as an ongoing discussion that restarted with no resolution. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]<sup>([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])</sup> 09:28, 7 November 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::That fits much better. This is going to be an ongoing issue not merely with Fur Affinity, but the fandom as a whole. Where do the limits end and begin for freedom of speech, the fandom's image and the sexual nature that lurks behind (and in front) of the scenes? I don't like the change we made, but it was the only one I feel I could make. It's hard to tell where to draw the line when the fandom's proverbial "line" has been pushed so far back it's impossible to tell where it is anymore.--[[User:Preyfar|Preyfar]] 11:35, 7 November 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::With regard to Fur Affinity, I don't see that any other choice was consistent with the site's initial promotion. If art of any rating depicting just about anything is allowed, then it becomes hard to justify being picky about a particular topic.<br />
<br />
:::As for image, I think it's possible to worry too much about it. The people that matter will either get into the fandom or not, but only if they hear about it at all first. Plenty do so through things like [[CSI]], and I don't see that as a bad thing, even if the portrayal is inaccurate. It's unfortunate when (e.g.) a hotel uses that kind of work as a reason not to continue a contract, but as we've seen with Anthrocon there is no guarantee of hotel stability even if you do try to run the cleanest of ships.<br />
<br />
:::Personally, I dislike lines. They tend to divide people. The furry fandom is big enough that there are places you can go if you like X and other places to go if you don't like X. There is no real need for the fandom as a whole to take a stand on any particular issue. The whole ''reason'' there are different stands is that different segments of the fandom have different views, and you can't just cut a segment out of the pie and keep calling it the whole pie. Just pick out the mushrooms if you don't like 'em. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]<sup>([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])</sup> 17:40, 7 November 2006 (UTC)<br />

== Mascots ==<br />
<br />
The Mascots section of this article has significant overlap with the articel on [[Fender]]. I think trimming the mascots section to a line that Fur Affinity has two mascots, [[Fender]] (since date) a such and such, and [[Rednef]] (since date) a such and such, would work well. Thoughts? -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 19:37, 2 June 2007 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Move Rednef to her article, the same as Fender, move their images and information out from this article to the new/existing ones, condensed "Mascot" section to the necessary amount of data?. Sounds reasonable [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 23:23, 2 June 2007 (UTC)<br />

Alkora Husky, the owner of FA domain name, attempted to sell it Dragoneer for $8000 even though Alkora only owns the domain and not any of the content on the site. Dragoneer got upset and removed Alkora from the admins; in retaliation, Alkora requested the site's hosting provider to pull the plug. As of Jul 25, the site is up and running normally. -- [[User:Wesha|Wesha]] 18:16, 25 July 2007 (UTC)<br />

==2008 Outage==<br />
<br />
The section of this article discussing the 2008 Outage resembled an out-of-date news article more than an unbiased, basic presentation of facts, and I have pared it down as such. Who users PMed during the down time, what kind of issues FA had with buying the equipment, what the error message looked like etc are trivial details that are considerably "not encyclopedic". I have left a few of these details to avoid being labeled a vandal, but IMHO it could use some more whittling. [[Special:Contributions/128.196.204.224|128.196.204.224]] 23:29, 31 August 2008 (UTC)<br />
: In addition to this, I modified the "site run from/to" section. The site had a hardware failure, yes, but that did not shut down the entire community as the previous edit implies. The FA community exists beyond more than just the main site, and as such, this is simply misleading FUD. <br />
:--[[User:Preyfar|Preyfar]] 23:57, 31 August 2008 (UTC)<br />
::I'm not entirely happy with those edits. Yes, the forums were up, but that's like saying WikiFur's LiveJournal or Tapestries' website was up - the main deal was out of commission for more than a month. There is a precedent in the coverage of [[Yerf]], which went down for a couple of months in mid-2006, and was noted as such - and the expectations of uptime for Yerf were, by then, far less than for FA. Perhaps a reference footnote explaining the period of downtime would be suitable.<br />
::I am surprised that you would want to [http://furry.wikia.com/index.php?title=Fur_Affinity&diff=212990&oldid=212405 remove the CDW details], as this seems to remove part of the explanation for the length of the outage. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]<sup>([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])</sup> 00:41, 1 September 2008 (UTC)<br />
:::I removed the CDW details, not Preyfar. In either case, I still feel that such information is better suited to "news" than this particular article. And obviously, you or anyone else inclined to do so is free to put it back. I was merely making a bold suggestion. [[Special:Contributions/128.196.204.224|128.196.204.224]] 00:48, 1 September 2008 (UTC)<br />
<br><br />
:::If that's the case then why haven't every other prior minor and moderate outage been recorded on the site if you want to show we have had more downtime than Yerf? FA has had a turbulent period in the time leading up to the outright failure, no doubt. However, the way the site reads is that we "gave up" and shut down running the community for that month. I don't think it's quite accurate of a portrayal. That's not to discount the events of Failoutage, but I disagree with the portrayal. What we have posted here is still accurate, considering the community is both FA, the forums, the gaming wing and many other facilities that are a part of Fur Affinity.<br />
:::As for the other... there were shipping delays. That's all matters in the end. And it wasn't just CDW, it as HP and DHL to the bone. Discussing the failings of the shipping companies could run into multiple paragraphs if the true events had been accurately described in the original entry, but it wasn't. If you want to show the reasons for the delays, just link that there were significant "shipping delays" out of Fa's control, and reference the posts on FA's forums that contain further details. Otherwise it just becomes filler to the article of what amounts to "Fur Affinity was offline for over a month due to catastrophic hardware failure and extended shipping delays in obtaining replacement parts."<br />

== Removal of "Fighting Amphibians" information. ==<br />
<br />
Fighting Amphibian is in no way related.<br />
:I think the site should either have its own page and be linked as a disambiguation on the top of the page, or not be mentioned at all. It definitely doesn't belong on this page. [[User:Atte|Atte]] 00:41, 19 October 2008 (UTC)<br />
::Fighting Amphibians has nothing to do with furries at all, there's no reason for it to be mentioned anywhere on this wiki. {{unsigned|78.86.220.39}}<br />
<br />
== Suggestion: provide dates ==<br />
<br />
There are several places in the article where the word "current" or a similar word or phrase is used to mean "the present date". Unfortunately, someone reading the page (like me) has no way of knowing when "current" was. Too often sections of Web and Wiki pages are left unmodified for long periods of time, so that calling an event "current" can become extremely misleading when they are read months, or even years, after they were written.<br />
<br />
A specific example is the list of current hardware. <br />
