In 2007 FurFright hosted a total of 717 attendees, making it the 5th most attended anthropomorphic/furry convention in the world.

User talk:PunkTiger

2007-02-20T04:23:29Z

PunkTiger:

Hi there, PunkTiger, and welcome to WikiFur! Thanks for your recent contributions to the article about [[FurFright]] - [[User talk:GreenReaper|let me know]] if you need any [[help]] not already provided. :-) --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 21:34, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

----

Heyas! I'm a total Wiki n00b (never edited it before... ever). I don't even know if you'll see these remarks. As for the submission, I've been on FurFright Staff since 2004, and since I noticed the entry hadn't been updated with the new info, I thought I'd give it a whirl and edit it myself.

I also noticed that someone had made an entry for my puppetry "group", [[Southpaw Video Productions]], with a spot for '''my''' info. o.o;; I don't think I'm important enough to have my own entry in WikiFur, and I doubt I would even be able to write it. I'd be too tempted to put in stuff like "creepy loser that hangs around the shadows of the fandom" and loads of other self-depreciating and insulting remarks.

Thanks for the welcome! (oh, and call me "Punk" for short. I promise I won't be insulted.)

- PunkTiger!
