DDRFurs is an active furry community originally geared towards furries who actively play [[Dance Dance Revolution]]. The community started as an idle [[IRC]] channel on [[FurNet]] by the name #ddrfurs. At the time, the owner of the channel [[Tiger of the Wind|TigerOfTheWind]] and [[Cubbi]] were the only two members to actively participate in the channel.

After participating in the [[Midwest FurFest 2003|MFF 2003]] DDR Tournament, [[Jouva]] decided to create a website to help bring together members of the furry community that play DDR. In December 2003, the website and forums were opened at [http://www.ddrfurs.com/ ddrfurs.com]. TigerOfTheWind allowed use of his IRC channel which quickly grew in popularity.

In September 2004, a [[LiveJournal]] community [http://community.livejournal.com/ddr_furs/ DDR Furs] was created for members who prefer to use LiveJournal instead of forums.

Today, the website forums get very little activity, the LiveJournal community gets some activity, and the IRC channel, while still active and frequented, rarely makes mention of DDR. Many members have moved on to other music and rhythm games such as beatmaniaIIDX, Pop'n Music, DJ MAX Technika or Rock Band. Music games are not the main subject of the channel anymore and it is simply a PG-rated hang-out for members that have been in the channel for a while for their interest in music and rhythm games.

In September 2009, the website now redirects to the LiveJournal community, due to the low amount of traffic to the website and low amount of maintenance put into the website.

At the time, the owner of the channel [[Tiger of the Wind|TigerOfTheWind]] and [[Cubbi]] were the only two members to actively participate in the channel.

In December 2003, the website and forums were opened at [http://www.ddrfurs.com/ ddrfurs.com]. TigerOfTheWind allowed use of his IRC channel which quickly grew in popularity.

In September 2004, a [[LiveJournal]] community [http://community.livejournal.com/ddr_furs/ DDR Furs] was created for members who prefer to use LiveJournal instead of forums.

Today, the website forums get very little activity, the LiveJournal community gets some activity, and the IRC channel, while still active and frequented, rarely makes mention of DDR. Many members have moved on to other music and rhythm games such as beatmaniaIIDX, Pop'n Music, DJ MAX Technika or Rock Band. Music games are not the main subject of the channel anymore and it is simply a PG-rated hang-out for members that have been in the channel for a while for their interest in music and rhythm games.

Isfacat

2009-09-06T23:00:26Z

Jouva: Update w/ category and verb tense change

'''Isfacat''' (or just '''Isfa'''; born March 4th, 1983<ref name="IsfacatLJP">[http://isfacat.livejournal.com/profile Isfacat's profile] on [[LiveJournal]]. Retrieved January 14th, 2008</ref>) is a [[furry]] comedian who lives in [[Wikipedia:Baton Rouge, Louisiana|Baton Rouge, Louisiana]], United States. His [[fursona]] is a [[Wikipedia:Russian Blue|Russian Blue]] domesticated [[housecat]].<ref name="IsfacatLJP"/>

As a winner of [[2, The Ranting Gryphon]]'s 'Rant with 2' panel at [[Rocket City FurMeet 2006]], Isfacat was given the opportunity to be the opening act for 2 at [[RCFM]] during the 2007 year. The following year, 2008, Isfacat was asked by RCFM staff to perform as a replacement for 2, since that year 2 did not attend the convention. Isfacat took the invitation and had two openers for his 2008 show, [[Bucktown Tiger]] and [[Ms. Goblin]], both winners of the prior year's 'Rant with 2'. With the move to the new hotel in 2009, the convention brought him back for 2 different shows: One that was opened by [[Deyna T. Otter]], and a spin-off of sorts of the original 'Rant with 2' panel, involving the audience at their hand in comedy.

He has also performed at [[MFM]] in the [[Flea Collar Comedy Tour]] for 2 years, 2006 and 2007. In 2009, he returned to the stage as MFM's [[Guest of Honor]].

He performed at [[Oklacon 2007]] alongside [[Bucktown Tiger]] and Deyna Otter, but Deyna Otter had to cancel the trip due to financial situations.

Isfa's comedy style can be described as stories equivalent to [[Uncle Kage's Story Hour]], a series of events that have happened to him in real life. There are other abstract and pop culture references, but those are left few and far between.

Mephit Furmeet

{{Mephit Furmeet}}
The '''Mephit Furmeet''', also known as '''MFM''', is an annual [[furry convention]] in [[Wikipedia:Memphis, Tennessee|Memphis]], [[Wikipedia:Tennessee|Tennessee]], [[Wikipedia:United States|USA]]. This convention meets over the [[Wikipedia:Labor Day (United States)|Labor Day]] holiday weekend. MFM's [[mascot]] is a [[Skunk (species)|skunk]], as the [[mephit|name]] implies.

In [[Mephit Furmeet 13|2009]], it was announced that the next convention would be held at the Whispering Woods Hotel and Conference Center in Olive Branch, Mississippi, making it the first time the convention would be held outside of the city of Memphis.<ref>[http://twitter.com/mephitfurmeet/status/3806355390 Official twitter announcement about MFM's 2010 venue]</ref> Since [[Mephit Furmeet 5|2001]], the Holiday Inn Select at [[wikipedia:Memphis International Airport|Memphis International Airport]] has been the current venue of MFM. From [[Mephit Furmeet 2|1998]] through [[Mephit Furmeet 4|2000]], it was held at the Holiday Inn Memphis East on Poplar Ave. The event was first held at a Howard Johnson's Inn (now an Econo Lodge) on Sycamore View Road in East Memphis.

[[Tiger Haven]] has been the convention [[charity]] for Mephit Furmeet every year since 2001 and is expected to remain so for the foreseeable future. Through 2006, MFM has raised more than $70,000 for Tiger Haven and is their largest single contributor.

==History==
[[Image:Mfm_logo.jpg|right|300px]]
[[Image:Mephit Furmeet Attendance.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Visitor Statistics]]
Started by local Memphis furry [[GrowlTiger]] in [[Mephit Furmeet 1|1997]], MFM originated from a small pizza party gathering hosted in a local Best Western. Since then, the [[Convention chairman|chairs]] organizing the convention have included:
* [[GrowlTiger]] ([[Mephit Furmeet 1|1997]] - [[Mephit Furmeet 3|1999]])
* [[Kodian]] ([[Mephit Furmeet 4|2000]] - [[Mephit Furmeet 5|2001]])
* [[Tyger Cowboy]] ([[Mephit Furmeet 6|2002]] - )

Scenes from [[Mephit Furmeet 4]] in 2000 appeared in the documentary ''[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0362619/ Fans and Freaks]'' from [[Wikipedia:Nashville, Tennessee|Nashville, Tennessee]] area directors Stephen and Suzie Lackey.

In [[Mephit Furmeet 5|2001]], a surprise guest appearance was made by [[Uncle Kage|Dr. Samuel "Uncle Kage" Conway]], disguised incognito as "[http://www.unclekage.com/unknown.html The Great Unknown Furry]."

In [[Mephit Furmeet 6|2002]], part of the convention space was unexpectedly "borrowed" by the [[wikipedia:Transportation Security Administration|Transportation Security Administration]].

In [[Mephit Furmeet 9|2005]], the hotel was shared with displaced victims of [[wikipedia:Hurricane Katrina|Hurricane Katrina]], with convention attendees donating both money and resources to those affected by the catastrophe.

Now currently at its third hotel, it has grown to become one of the notable national furry conventions in the United States, with over $15,000 raised for Tiger Haven in [[Mephit Furmeet 8|2004]], 600 participants in 2005, and over 200 pizzas consumed in [[Mephit Furmeet X|2006]]. It currently ranks in the top ten largest conventions in the city of Memphis.

Jouva: Announcement about MFM 2010 venue

[[Image:Garland_logo.jpg|right]]
{{Mephit Furmeet}}
The '''Mephit Furmeet''', also known as '''MFM''', is an annual [[furry convention]] in [[Wikipedia:Memphis, Tennessee|Memphis]], [[Wikipedia:Tennessee|Tennessee]], [[Wikipedia:United States|USA]]. This convention meets over the [[Wikipedia:Labor Day (United States)|Labor Day]] holiday weekend. MFM's [[mascot]] is a [[Skunk (species)|skunk]], as the [[mephit|name]] implies.

In [[Mephit Furmeet 13|2009]], it was announced that the next convention would be held at the Whispering Woods Hotel and Conference Center in Olive Branch, Mississippi, making it the first time the convention would be held outside of the city of Memphis.<ref>[http://twitter.com/mephitfurmeet/status/3806355390 Official twitter announcement about MFM's 2010 venue]</ref> Since [[Mephit Furmeet 5|2001]], the Holiday Inn Select at [[wikipedia:Memphis International Airport|Memphis International Airport]] has been the current venue of MFM. From [[Mephit Furmeet 2|1998]] through [[Mephit Furmeet 4|2000]], it was held at the Holiday Inn Memphis East on Poplar Ave. The event was first held at a Howard Johnson's Inn (now an Econo Lodge) on Sycamore View Road in East Memphis.

[[Tiger Haven]] has been the convention [[charity]] for Mephit Furmeet every year since 2001 and is expected to remain so for the foreseeable future. Through 2006, MFM has raised more than $70,000 for Tiger Haven and is their largest single contributor.

==History==
[[Image:Mfm_logo.jpg|right|300px]]
[[Image:Mephit Furmeet Attendance.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Visitor Statistics]]
Started by local Memphis furry [[GrowlTiger]] in [[Mephit Furmeet 1|1997]], MFM originated from a small pizza party gathering hosted in a local Best Western. Since then, the [[Convention chairman|chairs]] organizing the convention have included:
* [[GrowlTiger]] ([[Mephit Furmeet 1|1997]] - [[Mephit Furmeet 3|1999]])
* [[Kodian]] ([[Mephit Furmeet 4|2000]] - [[Mephit Furmeet 5|2001]])
* [[Tyger Cowboy]] ([[Mephit Furmeet 6|2002]] - )

Scenes from [[Mephit Furmeet 4]] in 2000 appeared in the documentary ''[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0362619/ Fans and Freaks]'' from [[Wikipedia:Nashville, Tennessee|Nashville, Tennessee]] area directors Stephen and Suzie Lackey.

In [[Mephit Furmeet 5|2001]], a surprise guest appearance was made by [[Uncle Kage|Dr. Samuel "Uncle Kage" Conway]], disguised incognito as "[http://www.unclekage.com/unknown.html The Great Unknown Furry]."

In [[Mephit Furmeet 6|2002]], part of the convention space was unexpectedly "borrowed" by the [[wikipedia:Transportation Security Administration|Transportation Security Administration]].

In [[Mephit Furmeet 9|2005]], the hotel was shared with displaced victims of [[wikipedia:Hurricane Katrina|Hurricane Katrina]], with convention attendees donating both money and resources to those affected by the catastrophe.

Now currently at its third hotel, it has grown to become one of the notable national furry conventions in the United States, with over $15,000 raised for Tiger Haven in [[Mephit Furmeet 8|2004]], 600 participants in 2005, and over 200 pizzas consumed in [[Mephit Furmeet X|2006]]. It currently ranks in the top ten largest conventions in the city of Memphis.

Jouva: /* Map of Conventions */

Some of the articles in [[:Category:Conventions]] are terminology related to conventions, e.g. [[Artists Alley]]. Should those be in this category? If not, where do they belong? [[User:Mwalimu|Mwalimu]] 19:31, 31 Aug 2005 (UTC)
:I think they can stay, for now. There's not enough pages about these terms that they are getting in the way of the other pages, and there's a bit too little to create a new category. Don't make changes you don't need to, I think. [[User:Almafeta|Almafeta]] 19:45, 31 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== Splitting up this category? ==

Looking down this category, I noticed that it's starting to become cluttered, mostly due to conventions with multiple years being mentioned multiple times.

I'd like to propose splitting up this category as follows:
* Main articles about conventions would stay in this category. ([[Anthrocon]], [[Califur]], etc.)
* Articles for specific convention years would be split off into seperate categories called "Conventions by year 200x", with this category as the parent.

The benefits of splitting up this category would be:
* Easier navigation this category
* An ability to navigate conventions by year. The yearly categories could also be tied in with our "births" and "deaths" categories.

What do folks think? Is this a good idea or am I way off? I figure I could implement all of this inside of an hour but would like a reality check from at least one or two others first. Thanks! --[[User:Dmuth|Douglas Muth]] 20:54, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

:We already have [[:Category:Events by year]]. I don't think we need conventions by year specifically, at least not at this point. I'm leaning towards agreeing that taking conventions of a specific year article out of just [[:Category:Conventions]] is good, although it feels worth noting that some gatherings have grown to conventions to events. -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 20:56, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

::Oh! I hadn't even noticed that. In that case, I like your suggestion better. :-) --[[User:Dmuth|Douglas Muth]] 21:07, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

:::How about a see also to Events by year at this category, and checking that each article is in an appropriate year event category along with removing the bald conventions category? Let's give this a few days for any further discussion, as it's a category issue. -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 21:14, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

::::Sure. My only question is, what do you mean by "bald conventions" category...? --[[User:Dmuth|Douglas Muth]] 21:39, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

:::::[[:Category:Conventions]], of course. It is bald of specifics. -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 23:42, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

::::::Oh, well I think [[:Category:Conventions]] is useful for convention articles that are not about specific years ([[Anthrocon]] and [[Califur]] come to mind), as well as serving for a parent category for the 5 sub-categories underneath it. --[[User:Dmuth|Douglas Muth]] 23:50, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

:::::::Yes, absolutely; I only meant removing the category from [[Anthrocon 2005]] and the like, as you suggested. -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 00:17, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

I have a suggestion for this. Perhaps we can make subcategories for the main conventions. Such as make an Anthrocon category and shuffle off all the specific Anthrocons into that to clean up this category. We can also include links to the staff and GOH categories. Thoughts?--[[User:KendricksRedtail|Kendricks Redtail]] 20:51, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

:That doesn't strike me as too useful--the main convention articles already should have See alsos to staff and guest of honor categories, and they have the template by year. -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 21:19, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
::We're talking about the categories though. For people browsing through the categories, this could be easier and more organized?--[[User:KendricksRedtail|Kendricks Redtail]] 21:34, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

:::I can't see why someone would prefer to go into a subcategory for, say, Anthrocon, and then onwards, rather than jsut clicking on Anthrocon and arriving at the main Anthrocon article, which clearly links to the Anthrocons by year. -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 21:56, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
::::Very true. I'm just trying to figure out ways to easier browse the categories as this whole discussion seems to be about. It's just an organization thing, really.--[[User:KendricksRedtail|Kendricks Redtail]] 21:58, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

::::I think it would depend on how many topics were in it. If it were just the yearly entries, it doesn't make much sense. However, I can imagine the case where there are some things might not be mentioned in the Anthrocon article but which are clearly linked to Anthrocon. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 03:10, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

== Map of Conventions ==
I am in the process of creating a custom [http://tinyurl.com/2csrup google map] with pinpoints for each location of the hotels for known running conventions (based on the ones listed on this site). I started it at about 1:00 PM EDT today but it should be done fairly soon. I think this may be useful to post to this webpage. What do you all think? --[[User:Jouva|Jouva]] 18:15, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
:It's already been done, I'm afraid. [http://greenreaper.co.uk/wikifur/ConventionMap.html link] [[User:SpazKitty|Spaz Kitty]] 18:33, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
::Yes I just noticed that as I came back. Oh well! --[[User:Jouva|Jouva]] 18:50, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Jouva: Boo not bad

== Moving this page to Dance Dance Revolution ==

Shouldn't this article be moved to [[Dance Dance Revolution]], and have [[DDR]] simply be a redirect? I'm all for abbreviations, but the series is called Dance Dance Revolution, not DDR. [[User:Kitsune Sniper|Kitsune Sniper]] 21:23, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

:Yes, it should. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 21:43, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

== Boo not bad ==

DDR doesn't have "Bad". They have "Boo". Home versions do use "Boo" for missing an arrow, but neither one has "Bad"
