[[Image:OrionConbadgesAC2006.jpg|thumb|right|240px|Some people just have ''too'' many conbadges]]
'''Orion''' is a [[convention]]-goer famed for his large collection of [[conbadge]]s, numbering at least 216 as of November 2006. He typically displays his favorites on the front and back of his coat, the rest being stored in a binder.

Orion is also known for "flashing" people at conventions. While he has a plethora of badges on the outside of his attire, he has nearly as many on the inside as well. He faux-flashes people to show off the hidden badges by parting his coat, revealing the hidden artwork.

Polar Den BBS

The '''Polar Den BBS''' was a [[FurNet (FidoNet)|FurNet]] computer [[BBS]] operated by [[Darrel Exline]] from 1990 through 1994.

Originally setup in 1989 as a [[Wikipedia:FidoNet#Points|FidoNet Point]] in Darrel's apartment in [[Wikipedia:Whittier, California|Whittier, California]] (off [[Nicolai Shapero|Nicolai Shapero's]] [[StormGate_Aerie]]), ''The Polar Den Point'' converted to a full BBS when Darrel moved to Dallas in 1990. From 1992 until September 1993, the ''Polar Den BBS'' operated on two phone lines during the day, and one phone line in the evenings.

Because of the way that interstate phone calls were billed at the time, it was cheaper for most of the online FurNet community to dial ''Interstate'' into the Polar Den BBS in Dallas than it was for them to connect ''Intra-state [[Wikipedia:Long distance|long distance]]'' to their semi-local FurNet nodes, resulting in the Polar Den BBS becoming the largest contributor to FurNet message boards throughout 1992 and most of 1993.

When Darrel moved to [[Wikipedia:Prescott, Arizona|Prescott, Arizona]] in late 1993, the Polar Den BBS continued to operate there for a few months, but was finally taken down in 1994 to be reborn as Darrel's personal website at [[polarden.org]]

'''Ma & Pa Beaver''' are [[Tagger]]'s parents, who occassionally appear in [[Nip and Tuck]] comics. Whenever they do so appear, they are the kinds of parents who can be a little on the overprotective side for their son, even if it sometimes means check-watching him like a hawk, in the company of the [[Todd Bros.]] or whom otherwise. It's no wonder Tagger deserves a little dose of hero-worship.

Caballo Isle

2008-05-03T13:46:44Z

Ingreditur: Reverted edits by 203.24.97.9 (talk) to last version by Sine

{{copyedit}}
'''Caballo Isle''' (''[[teleport pattern|t eb, beach, jetty, ferry]]'') is a pirate [[roleplay]] Area on [[FurryMUCK]]. Caballo Isle and its surrounding waters were finished in January 2005, and officially opened for business. It is an entirely In-Character area based very loosely off of [[Furry Pirates]] and the [[Wikipedia:Pirates of the Caribbean|Pirates of the Caribbean]]. Based in fictional Spanish-conquered seas, furs build homes, pirate ships, Naval ships, and roleplay out adventure on the high seas.

== History of Caballo Isle ==

The Island and it's surrounding waters were conquered by the Spanish in the early 1600's. As the ruling class in this area are all equines, they gave the island the name of '''Caballo Isle''', or '''Horse Island'''. Likewise, the Spanish theme is continued with the village's name of '''Yeuga''', or '''Mare''', and '''Mount Pechos''' or '''Mount Breast'''. The roleplay takes place 50 years after the conquering, and with the waters now firmly under Spanish rule.

== Government ==

The area known as Caballo Isle and its surrounding waters are under the Governorship of [[Tinder]], and is enforced by the head of Her Royal Majesty's Navy for the area, Commodore [[Ruhemaus]]. Luckily for the pirates, the Governor is quite corrupt. In exchange for keeping the East side of the village stocked with rum and women, the pirates pay a tithing to her with every raid they perform. If the pirates are ever found in default of their debt, the Royal Navy is sent out to ''convince'' the pirates to pay their dues under penalty of death.

== Technology ==

As it is a pirate area, furs are requested to keep in theme all times. The area has a strict limit on the level of tech one can use. Furs are allowed the use of gunpowder and some steam tech. No magic-powered ships, and no flying except by hot-air balloon or natural talents.

== Magic ==

Magic is limited to two forms: Voodoo or island/native magic, and inherent talents. Characters such as fey or demonic races can use their powers as long as they aren't abused. If they are, a 'magic dampener' may be placed on the character by the local Navy. If the character is a wizard or similar, they are requested to change them to the theme and setting of the area, I.E. a priest/priestess or a local shaman or medicine person.

== Areas ==

There are many areas that make up Caballo Isle and its surrounding waters:

=== Caballo Isle ===

The main Island in these waters, and the seat of the local Government. The island is comprised of the Township of '''Yeuga''', the docks which serve as a port, plantations, beaches, and even '''Mount Pechos'''.

==== East Yeuga ====

The East side of Yeuga belongs to the pirates. It is here where the local Tavern, '''The Roavin' Raccoon''', and the local Brothel, '''The Laughing Lady''', reside. The Roavin' Raccoon is run by [[RC]], and The Laughing Lady is run by [[Hekele]]. Also, The Laughing Lady is an [[Adult]] area, and one must be over 18 to enter it. It is also here where the Brig is, which is where furs are swept to if they fall asleep inside this area.

==== West Yeuga ====

West Yeuga is where the more respectable villagers and townfolk live. It is here where there is planned to be the church, apothecary, clothing shop, and other businesses and shops that would not fit into the East Side of Yeuga.

==== Mount Pechos ====

Mount Pechos is where the local plantations reside, and is also where Governor [[Tinder]] has her mansion. This location was chosen to be as far from the docks as possible, in case the pirates ever rebel against the local government.

=== The Seas and Surrounding Waters ===

To the west of Caballo Isle are 9 seas named along the points of the compass. Off of these seas are several other islands that help make up the Area.

==== Bauble Cove ====

Residing inside a dormant volcano, '''Bauble Cove''' is run by the Pirate Lord [[Bauxtillion]]. This is a hangout for pirates on the high seas, or a place to hide for those pirates that may have not paid their ''taxes'' to the Government of Caballo Isle yet. It has a village of it's own, and also '''The Tasty Fish''', a tavern talked of on all the high seas.

==== Gypsy Island ====

An island claimed by a traveling gypsy band looking for a home, this loose band is led in a fashion by [[Yanashia]]. The small island has beaches, a jungle, a network of caves to explore, and even a village of their own. The gypsies make goods to sell on the other islands in the area, as well as act as performers for Pirates, villages, and even the Navy alike. They hold no alliances, and are instead the neutral parties of this part of the ocean.

'''The Heat of the Night''' ("Furry Roleplay and Stories") is an interactive site for [[furs]] who to write or act out their own furry adventures. It was created by [[Tye G. Wolfe]] and [[Hikaru Katayamma]].

* '''Address''': http://www.heat-of-the-night.com

The site offers various features, including [[role-play]], stories, poetry, and a place for social interaction with other furs. Due to certain RP content, Heat of the Night is for adults only.

*'''A bit of “Heat of the Night” history'''

Starting as a Yahoo group managed by Tye G. Wolfe, Heat of the Night (HOTN) grew to a membership level of over 7500 members. HOTN soon became the largest Furry Role Play group within Yahoo until Yahoo shut the doors for the third and final time in 1999. There were and still are offshoot groups that bear a portion of HOTN’s name, however they do not carry the membership that was once Yahoo’s “Heat of the Night”. For all intents and purposes “Heat of the Night” had faded into obscurity. It was not until an occurrence in another Yahoo group that it became necessary to move the actions of some to a more private venue. With the backing of Tye G. Wolfe and the network support of Hikaru Katayamma, this new “Heat of the Night” was reborn in a forum format.

Something Awful

2005-08-15T19:16:22Z

Ingreditur: Reverted edit of 70.189.72.15, changed back to last version by Ingreditur

'''Something Awful''' is an internet humor community owned and operated by [[Richard "Lowtax" Kyanka]]. Among its users are stereotypical forum members with a slightly higher sense of collective intelligence and pretentiousness than the average forum grouping. (For example, "GameFaqs.") It ranges from adults to teens, talented artists to talented writers, and also very avid gamers. However, among these users also lurks a minority dark-side which has gotten the website its reputation in the furry fandom. Constant harassment and ridicule toward the furry community, including [[trolling]]-- sometimes organized-- and harassment toward users themselves in places such as [[LiveJournal]], messageboards, and various furry websites, including [[Wikifur]] itself, which was vandalized on various pages with defamation toward the furry fandom or repeitions of the phrase "SOMETHING AWFUL DOT COM." While the administrators of the [[Something Awful|SA]] forums do not condone the actions taken-- and do take action to remove these troublemakers from their ranks when they deem necessary-- many [[Goons]] take it upon themselves to invade websites, forums and [[LiveJournal|LiveJournals]] when they are linked on or off the forums. (Examples of off-forums organized invasions includes the now defunct [[SALJ]].) There are three instances where [[Goons]] "infiltrated" a furry convention. 

To many on the Something Awful forums now, however, furries are considered "old meme." But there are still members who continue to "hop on the bandwagon" and attack the fandom.

* Address: [http://www.somethingawful.com http://www.somethingawful.com ]

== Involvement with Furries ==
=== Conventions ===
==== Texas Furry Con 2004 ====
A newer SA forum user started a post detailing her first visit to a furry convention then decided it wasn't for her. He left a picture of a detailed pineapple hand-grenade which stated, "We're watching you." 

Later, user Vorpal Bunny, a resident of Texas, decided to pay the convention a visit, wearing a shirt that said "L33T LIEK JEFFK" and had a URL to the website. After being tipped off by furry and SA goon Labinnah, the con staff proceeded to catch and detain Vorpal Bunny and his pack of friends, forcing them to stay until they signed a form which stated they would not release anything to the Internet. This, of course, didn't happen.

==== [[Feral!]] 2004 ====
A forum user posted about his "ninja infiltration" to a furry convention out in the woods. Sneaking around the camp area, he placed numerous paper flags with the [[Something Awful]] logo on various cars. In the thread he posted, he was ridiculed by the [[Something Awful|SA]] [[Goons]] for supposedly "having no life."

==== [[Anthrocon]] 2005 ====
A furry goon named [[Mix]] decided to bring an old 1960's-style video camera with him and wore a t-shirt with his fursona on the front-- a hyenataur-- and on the back a large version of the Something Awful logo. He was pulled aside by [[Uncle Kage]] and told not to wear his t-shirt around the area.

=== LiveJournal ===
==== SALJ ====
[[SALJ]], or "[[Something Awful]] [[LiveJournal]]", was a [[LiveJournal]] community which trolled pretty much all of LiveJournal. From autoerotic asphyxiation communities to zoophile communities, they attacked them all. While not the main focus, one thing they did attack were other furry communities.

=== IRC ===
In late 2004, when the [[SALJ]] [[LiveJournal]] community was still around, many users of the community congregated in an IRC channel. They organized an attack on a channel on FurNet called #dragon_yiff. What happened was enormous amounts of spam with constant barrages of various catchphrases from the [[Something Awful]] forums, such as the ever infamous "SOMETHING AWFUL DOT COM." The users, however, when everything calmed down, blamed it on [[Sibe]].

=== Awful Link of the Day ===
[[Something Awful]] has a feature on their front page called ''The Awful Link of the Day.'' The websites featured range between horrendously created Tripod websites or the most bizarre of the bizarre forums on the Internet, and sometimes a random furry fetish artist's website or community, such as [[vore]] or [[babyfur]], will pop up as the target.

== Furry involvement with Something Awful ==
=== The "Furry Concentration Camp" ===
In January 2003, [[JJcoolJ]], a now ex-forum member and somewhat excommunicated from the furry community, organized users from the now defunct #safurs channel on FurNet to spam an internal forum called "FYAD," or "Fuck You and Die" with furry porn. [[Richard "Lowtax" Kyanka|Lowtax]], after getting rather annoyed with having a forum made for spam filled with even more horrendous furry spam, created the Furry Concentration Camp, a subforum which acted much like "FYAD," but disconnected furries from the main forum. The plan was to make the furry goons realize they should keep quiet. However, after a few months, the furry goons took the forum for themselves and turned it into their own "Furry FYAD." To save CPU cycles, and with the realization that the experiment failed, [[Richard "Lowtax" Kyanka|Lowtax]] deleted the forum.

=== Furry "[[Goons]]" ===
A "furry goon" is someone who may or may not be accepted on the [[Something Awful|SA]] forums while also knowingly being a member of the furry community. Some of these users are:
* [[Verix]]
* [[Doodles]]
* [[Mix]]
* [[Neccoloup]]
* [[Reddie]]
* [[Malkith0]]

I.s.o.

{{wrongtitle|title=i.s.o.}}

'''''i.s.o.''''' is an unfinished [[gay]]-themed furry comedy comic book series by [[Vince Suzukawa]]. Like his earlier series ''[[The Class Menagerie]]'', ''i.s.o.'' takes place at fictional [[The Class Menagerie#DeMontfort University|DeMontfort University]] in California, and much of the story is set in [[The Class Menagerie#Richter Hall|Richter Hall]], a fictional three-storey dormitory building. Whereas ''TCM'' took place on the remains of the dorm's third floor, ''i.s.o.'' takes place on the first floor. Also unlike ''TCM'', the cast of ''i.s.o.'' is predominantly made up of [[LGBT]] characters.

The title ''i.s.o.'' is an acronym commonly used in personal ads, meaning "In Search Of", reflecting Cody's infatuation with a certain man. It also refers to the Greek prefix ''[[iso]]-'', meaning "equal" or "normal", reflecting the lifelong desire of the main character, Cody Frost, to always appear as normal as possible, despite the fact he is gay.

== Future ==

Vince Suzukawa has announced plans to publish a final version of ''i.s.o.'' in serialized comic book format. In it will be an adjusted version of the story and modified character designs. The character Drake is planned to be excluded from the final story.

Note: this entry has been edited by the author because it is an unpublished work in progress and many of the previous listings here would be considered spoilers, mostly.

Goon

Ingreditur: NPOV dispute.

{{NPOV}}

Goons are members of the [[Something Awful]] forums. Although it is not proven, goons and [[trolls]] both do much the same kinds of acts which include launching personal attacks, defaming a subject or event, stirring up trouble in communities, fandoms, and other such [[crap]]. In other words, they are internet users.

Their actions are normally seen as posts on a [[message board]], but also has been seen on wikis like this one where the work they do concerns editing and defacing invalid articles to suit their much apparent hatred of a given subject or joke of a community. However, this kind of "check" to the furry fandom probably isn't a horrible thing.

However, most non "Stupid Newbie" Goons do have a sense of humor.

VGCats

Ingreditur: Reverting from potentially irrelevant information to last edit by a logged in user.

[[image:censor_14.png|right]]
Created in 2003 by [[Scott Ramsoomair]], VGCats is not a furry comic. However, some may be attracted to it for the primary recurring characters: a pink-furred [[female]] cat and a grey and white male [[cat]]. These two characters are the reason the comic is called VGCats and it should be noted that the comic itself pokes humerous fun at [[:Category:Video games|video games]] in general although it can feature non-game subjects as well from time to time. The manner in which such humor is generated is similar to that of "Penny Arcade" which also pokes fun at video games.

For example, the comic may feature a strip that pokes fun at Metal Gear Solid, or The Legend of Zelda. At other times it may feature a comic about anime, such as the infamous strip called "Lost In Translation" where the arist depicts in his own way the proccess 4-Kids Entertainment takes an Original japanese anime and makes it "Kid Friendly". In this case, the strip used the [[anime]] "One Piece" as an example and the strip itself graphically depics a robot mutilating the main character and dressing him in a pink dress. This mutilation included blood and gore, but not directly as the robot stood in front of the character it was mutilating. This completely obscured all but one of the victim's arms from view, but it did not obscure the depiction of what may have been the character's organs flying through the air.

Due to the nature of the comic as a whole at times, the rating is PG14 for tentative reasons. The comic does contain swearing and depictions blood on occasion. It also makes what could be considered sexual references and innuendo as well. The swearing however, is often limited and most often is tamed to "holy cow" and similar due mostly to the fact that it is a canadian-made comic, but the reader should be advised that there are strips that have actual swearing in it depending on the point of view and opinions of the reader.

Blue Forest (city)

Ingreditur: Reversion to last edit by Osfer.

{{blue forest}}The city of '''Blue Forest''' is the setting for the homoerotic fiction series ''[[Blue Forest]]'' by [[K. M. Hirosaki]]. An industrial urban dystopia, slightly futuristic, chracterised by a permanent sense of gloom and hopelessness. It is distinct from [[Maranatha City]], from [[Osfer]]'s ''[[Maranatha]]'' series in that it is dark, rather than bleak, oppressive rather than empty.

The city itself is something of a semi-autonomous city-state that is not part of any province of the nation that it belongs to. The [[Legislative Assembly (Blue Forest)|Legislative Assembly]] does have a liaison to the city for official government matters, but for the most part, the federal government neither concerns itself nor interferes with the city's own affairs.

Notable locations include the [[Spinning Disk]], the primary gay club and the [[Duhamel Building]] which at the time of the stories is under constructionand forms a connecting hub for various strands of the plot.

The fur.* (furrynet) hierarchy is a set of newsgroups which were intended to provide
Furry Fandom with specific message areas, protected from the rest of usenet.

Originally there were the following servers:

*news.critter.net
*news.chameleon.net
*news.fur.com
*news.lightbearer.com
*furry.ao.net

But now only news.critter.net remains.

The fur.* newsgroups are:

Namir Deiter

Ingreditur: Reversion to last edit by a logged in user.

[[Image:Censor_PG.png|right]]
'''Namir Deiter''' is a comic created by [[Isabel Marks]]. Starting on November 29th 1999 on somewhat rocky terms, updates were (at best) seen once every few days to a week. At the time, the comic appeared to centralize around the young ''Tipper Namir'', a white and orange tabby girl probably 14 or 15 and in high school.

* '''Website''': http://www.namirdeiter.com/index.php

The comic's world was intended as a representation of high school life. It involved Tipper, her sister, ''Snickers'' (funny how they named her after a candy bar), ''Blue Namir'', and ''Joy''. Their introduction to the comic was as a single massive meeting when Tipper was just told by a boy in school that she was being asked out. Since that point, the comic had evolved well beyond the high school world and gained a plethora of new characters such as ''Mallory'', ''Roxanne'', ''Twix'' (another character named after a candy), ''Falco'', ''Gab'', ''Cedric'', and several others.

{{wikicities:Spoiler}}
Some plot evolutions in the story involve Twix and Snickers getting married, Joy and Blue graduating from College, Roxanne getting pregnant, Tipper graduating from High School, Falco becoming Cedric's boyfriend, and more. The world of Namir Deiter has evolved so many times and grew so dynamic that it seems to be a totally different comic than when it started. It is still very enjoyable and is a recommended read.

The '''VCL''' (''previously'' short for the '''Velan Central Library''', popularly the '''Vixen Controlled Library''') is an archive containing more than 200,000 pictures and [[:Category:Stories|stories]] centered around anthromorphic (mainly "furry") characters. On average, around 140 images are uploaded most days, or 50,000 a year; their quality varies widely. A significant proportion of the VCL's content is adult-oriented.

*'''Ran from/to:''' pre-1999 - current

The archive's structure is dynamic, with pages in index format with sub indices and directories. The new art page can be listed by order of the date they were uploaded, or alphabetically, with each page holding a limit of thirty image thumbnails per page. Indices are updated every half-hour or so. The individual directories of the artists are similarly arranged.

The VCL is supported by donations, or (failing that) out of Ch'marr's pocket. Those who [http://us.vclart.net/wiki/Donate donate] acquire a special button.

== History ==

The site was founded by [[Brian W. Antonie]] as the ''Velan Central Library'' - initially, just his private art archive as an [[Wikipedia:FTP|FTP]] site, named after Velar, a location from [[The Family nas Kan]] stories. Around 1999 a mirror run by the [[Ctrl-C]] computer club opened at the University of Linköping in Sweden, to which the vast majority of traffic was sent.

In January 2005, the Swedish had to be [http://www.livejournal.com/community/vcl/65869.html taken down] at short notice due to concerns over "objectionable content". Distribution was temporarily continued using a combination the existing U.S. mirror and [[Wikipedia:Coral (network)|Coral cache network]], but two more U.S. sites were created a month later. As of August 2005, the Swedish server still hosts the VCL Forums.

WikiFur:Logo ideas

2005-08-15T17:35:36Z

Ingreditur: Removing a vandalism-style submission.

[[WikiFur]] needs a '''logo'''. It should be 135x155 pixels (or potentially a little shorter), and it should try to communicate both "wiki" and "furry" in some way, potentially including part or all of the name "WikiFur".

Have a look at some of the [[Wikicities:Image:Logocollection.png|existing logos]] for some good (and bad) examples. As you can see, simpler is potentially better - any text should at least be discernable at 1/3 size.

To submit an image, you need to [[Special:Userlogin|login]], then [[Special:Upload|upload your image]] and add your submissions here by editing the page to add <nowiki>[[Image:YourImageName.png]]</nowiki>. 24-bit PNG is the preferred format - if it needs to be smaller, it can be reduced later.

Hi. Thanks for the welcome. ^^; This seems to be a confusing topic in my mind as far as sorting, but what would "StarFox" groups like RPG's belong to? Certainly the one I know about so far does not use a MU*, but rather IRC and has it's own Wiki even. --[[User:Markus|Markus]] 09:48, 3 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== NPOV / Vanity Pages ==

You know, if you're aiming for NPOV, you might want to consider instituting a rule about, uh, not making articles about yourself. They tend to be one-sided at best, and blatant advertisments at worst. And the authors tend to react rather badly to other people editing 'their' writeup.

But then again, [http://www.everything2.com/ E2] is not NPOV and is also quite awesome. --[[User:Xax|Xax]] 19:02, 14 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:We're not, exactly. I accept that most articles about users are going to be positive. I encourage that, actually, as it's the negative ones that seem to cause trouble. See [http://www.livejournal.com/community/wikifur/2177.html?thread=6017 this discussion] for more on my views about vanity pages, and less important pages in general. Basically, what's appropriate for Wikipedia may not be appropriate for us. --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 19:12, 14 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== Maranatha ==

I'm not exactly sure how templates work, Xax, but it sounds like a great idea. May I recommend you approach [[K. M. Hirosaki]] with the same suggestion regarding his [[Blue Forest]] series? I say go for it, but help a doddering young fool and give me some explanation as to how such a template works :) --[[User:Osfer|Osfer]]

:Heh. Basically, they work like any other template we've got so far-- you put a <nowiki>{{maranatha}}</nowiki> on the articles that should have it, and it shows up as something like "(article name) is part of a series on [[Maranatha]]" and then some links to other related story info (like [[Maranatha City]] or characters or whatever else you think would be pertinent.)

:The downside would be that you'd probably have to be the one to keep it updated with all the various information, and also put it on pages that I forgot about or didn't notice. --[[User:Xax|Xax]] 16:44, 15 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Sounds good to me. I'll get on it!

Furcadia

2005-08-15T17:21:14Z

Ingreditur: Vandalism by 65.11.93.133 reverted to version by Tafyrn.

<div style="float:right">__TOC__</div>'''Furcadia''' is an furry graphical multiplayer online community developed by [[Felorin]] (Dr. Cat) and [[Talzhemir]] ('Manda), with contributions from [http://www.furcadia.com/credits.html many others]. Furcadia has been running since 1996, and is probably the largest online furry community, with over 50,000 registered users and 2,000 - 3,000 online users active at any given time.

* '''Address''': http://www.furcadia.com/

== Overview ==

Furcadia is free to all users. To join Furcadia, the [http://www.furcadia.com/download/ Windows client] can be downloaded and installed. This client connects to the furcadia server, allows for character creation, and provides a graphical environment where a [[furre]] (Furcadia character) to explore dreams and interact with others.

When one first joins Furcadia, part of the process of creating an account includes selecting ones species. The following species are built in: Rodent, Equine, Feline, Canine, Musteline, Lapine and Squirrel, with the next update promises to bring Cows and Bears. It is very commonplace to build upon these base types to create specialized species, for example, choosing the colouring on a squirrel to look like a skunk.

In addition to selecting a species, colours are chosen to provide a visually distinctive appearance, and a description is written that is presented to other furres.

== Furcadia Client ==
[[Image:Furcadia_client_jujinka.png|thumbnail|250px|right|Furcadia in action]]

The Furcadia Client is organized into four main areas:
* The upper left section displays the portrait and name of another furcadia within the dream.
* The lower left section contains five tabs that allow the furre to move about and interact with the world around them.
* The upper right section shows the dream that the furre is currently in, including other furres that are nearby.
* The lower right section contains a text window, used to talk with other furres visible above, and to whisper (private message) other furres that are currently logged in.

== History ==

* '''1994''': DragonSpires, a predecessor of Furcadia is created by [[Felorin]]
* '''1996''': First release of Furcadia
* '''1998''': The Circle Help Guild is chartered
* '''2001''': Phoenix Update
* '''2002''': Furcadia a finalist at "Fifth Annual Independent Games Festival"
* '''2003''': Gryffe Update
* '''2004''': Squirrel Update

== Community ==
There are nine main dreams within Furcadia:

* '''Vinca''' is the nexus of Furcadia, allowing access to all of the other main dreams.
* '''Naia Green''' is the central community map, where furres can get assistance, take classes and meet other furres.
* '''Haven''' (Previously [[New Haven]]) is a friendly map for old and new friends to meet and talk.
* '''Challenges''' contains many single and multi-furre games, including chess and checkers.
* '''Acropolis''' is a socializing area where furres can load their own dreams.
* '''Meovanni Village''' is a free-form "persona play"role playing map.
* '''Allegria Island''' is a socializing area where furres can load their own dreams.
* '''Furrabian Nights''' ([[Furn]]) is a dream for adult role-play.

== Role-playing ==

Many different [[role-playing]] communities exist within Furcadia. As furres can create their own dreams, continuties range from Pirates on the High Seas, to Furres in Spaceships, to Elizabethan Gardens, to Medieval to Fantasy.

The official continuity of Furadia is known as Furre!, and was created by [[Talzhemir]], and is set in the world of [[Kasuria]]. It has a rich history and mythology.

* [http://www.bga.com/~pixel/Fur/kasuria2.gif Map of the Land of Kasuria]
* [http://www.furcadia.com/roleplay/primes.html Furcadian Primes]

Many non-continuity Role Playing Guilds also exist within Furcadia:

* [http://www.furcadia.com/services/guilds/guilds.php4?guild_type=1 Social Guilds]
* [http://www.furcadia.com/services/guilds/guilds.php4?guild_type=2Persona Roleplay Guilds]

* [http://www.furcadia.com/services/guilds/guilds.php4?guild_type=3 Adult Guilds]

== Dreams ==

Furcadia comes with tools allowing a furre to create their own worlds. This includes '''DreamEd''' for laying out objects, floors and walls, '''DSEditor''' for writing [[DragonSpeak]] code to add interactivity, and '''fsheditor''' to draw new objects, floors, walls and portraits.

== Upcoming Update ==

At the last town hall meeting, held on 2005-04-16, [[Felorin]] indicated that to bring new innovations and improvements to the Furcadia community sooner, [[Dragon's Eye Productions]] is moving over to a system where updates are released on a quarterly basis.

"Instead of waiting till all of a particular set of features and bugfixes are done, we're just going to work on stuff, and when update time comes we'll say "What's done and ready to put in", and release that. This should get you new things to enjoy more often - and make it easier to test each one for bugs, as there won't be as many changes to test at once. We hope you'll enjoy our new update schedule. #SA" -- [[Felorin]]

=== Announced Improvements ===

* '''New Avatars''': Bears, Bovines and Kitterwings
* '''Client Improvements''': Buddy Lists, Truetype Fonts, Text Colours, Chat Windows
* '''Dream Improvements''': Dream Banishing, new [[DragonSpeak]]

== Volunteer Community ==

Furcadia has a large and active volunteer community, known as the [[Beekins]]. There are many types of Beekins:

* Bugge Hunters provide technical support and track down bugs
* Dream Masons provide assistance with creating dreams and writing [[DragonSpeak]]
* Guardians enforce rules within Furcadia. Their roles are similar to that of Wizards in other online MUDs/MUCKs
* Helpers provide general assistance, in person and via a help channel
* Pixels provide help with drawing and creating patches
* Scribes maintain the Furcadia web site and moderate the Furcadia Forums
* Welcomers welcome new furres, provide orientation tours and answer questions
* Mentors provide assistance and guidance for furres in the Beekin program
* Teachers provide classes for furres in the Beekins program
