== page name correction ==

Hey Dmuth, RVDDP2501 here, listen I made a mistake of mislabeling a page I made, how do i fix it? - http://furry.wikia.com/wiki/Hyesta - [[User:RVDDP2501|RVDDP2501]] 00:15, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

:You tell us, and we move it. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]<sup>([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])</sup> 00:19, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

: Just to add to GreenReaper's comment, pages can be "moved", but only administrators have that privilege due to past abuses. --[[User:Dmuth|Douglas Muth]] 00:23, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

: ah, I see, I understand, alright, thanks - [[User:RVDDP2501|RVDDP2501]] 00:24, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

== rv harassment ==

Hi Giza,

Thanks for reverting [[User:Higgs Raccoon]]. I'd have done it myself, but I've been sitting here scratching my head wondering who Sveemon is and why he would think I was trolling. <shrugs> Oh well...
--[[User:Higgs Raccoon|Higgs Raccoon]] 14:28, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

:No problem. I haven't a clue what his malfunction is either. --[[User:Dmuth|Douglas Muth]] 16:34, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

== Vandalism ==

Hey Dmuth, it looks like wikifur is getting vandalized, is there anything I can do? - [[User:RVDDP2501|RVDDP2501]] 14:59, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

WE ARE UNDER ATTACK!!! - [[User:RVDDP2501|RVDDP2501]] 21:54, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

== Reverting vandalism ==

Hi, I was wondering what the best method to help out with reverting vandalism is. I found [http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/2485 this] for Firefox and Greasemonkey, which should help, but I notice you are able to roll back quite a lot of articles very quickly. Is that due to your admin status or is there something that could streamline the process for a regular user like me? [[User:Simba B|Simba B]] 22:20, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

:Yes, us admins have a few extra "powers", such as being able to roll back edits through the wiki. :-) Thanks for the script though, I'll pass that around. --[[User:Dmuth|Douglas Muth]] 22:22, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

::Actually that script doesn't quite work as advertised. [http://www.oakcourt.dyndns.org/~andrew/mediawikirollbackpagehis_fixed.user.js Here's] a fixed (and tested) version that includes *.wikia.com addresses. [[User:Simba B|Simba B]] 22:57, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

== polishing up contributions ==

Been referring to the help page on wikifur for some of my basic editing, yet can't quite get that higher standard. Is there a step by step tutorial that would piece it together? No biggie, just want to make my stuff easy to read.

- cowboys of moo mesa
- macskafogo
- dogthanian

:[[Help:Furry Book of Style]] is one starting point, assuming you haven't been there already. Other than that, a good way to get the "feel" for pages would be to click the edit tab on some existing ones and see how things are done. If you watch [[Special:Recentchanges]], you can also click the link labeled "diff" next to some of the cleanups that are done to see what exactly was changed, which may be helpful. --[[User:Dmuth|Douglas Muth]] 20:53, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

== Any subjects not covered yet? ==

Giza, do you know of anything not covered in wikifur yet, or a choir list of subjects that need work? Point me in the right direction please. Happy Halloween. {{unsigned|Broken conspiracy}}

:Actually, if you check out [[Special:Wantedpages]], that will give you a list of articles which have links to them, but haven't been created yet. That's a great starting point of things that need writing.
:Also, there are ''plenty'' of articles that need some form of cleanup or copyediting done on them. Feel free to browse around [[:Category:Cleanup]] and fix up articles that need help. --[[User:Dmuth|Douglas Muth]] 00:09, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

== 65.93.15.75 ==

What to do about this person's edits to [[Convention]]? [[User:Simba B|Simba B]] 18:50, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

:I'm not sure yet. I'm kinda hoping that they say something more substantial than, "you people are stealing bandwidth". Personally, I'm all for trying to find some sort of comprimise. --[[User:Dmuth|Douglas Muth]] 18:52, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

== Duplicated Image ==

Curse my Mediawiki skills ;-P...I created a duplicate image [[:Image:Pawstop2.png|here]]. If you could use your <s>deity</s> admin powers to fix my boo-boo, It'd be greatly appreciated. [[User:Simba B|Simba B]] 00:23, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

:Sure. Done! --[[User:Dmuth|Douglas Muth]] 00:49, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

==Archive problem==

Hey Dmuth, I just created an archive page in my Usertalks page for October but something is wrong, everytime I click on it it wants to be editied instead of viewed, I can't figure out what I'm ding wrong? - [[User:RVDDP2501|RVDDP2501]] 16:04, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

== Thanks! ==

I was hoping someone would come and clean up Jirris's page :) I tried but I had no idea what i was doing.

lol Thanks :)!!

: No problem. I'm happy to help. --[[User:Dmuth|Douglas Muth]] 03:47, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

== numbers vandalism ==

You just blocked a user for that...what's the point of it?? e.g. why would you put random number in an article like that? it seems a strange thing to do (not that vandalizing a wiki isn't)...I actually saw that edit and figured it was some wiki markup I didn't know about. [[User:Simba B|Simba B]] 18:30, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

:Because it's an ongoing problem that has been reported over on [http://www.wikia.com/mailman/listinfo/wikia-l wikia-l] over the last few months, affecting all wikis. While that IP only vandalized one page, there have been cases where one IP vandalized dozens of pages, so I wanted to err on the side of caution. (Since the vandalize type was part of a larger vandalism problem, we can assume that the individual was NOT acting in good faith.

Hello Dmuth,

This is in regards to ''[[:Image:DSC02082.JPG]]''. It has not been tagged with a copyright status. This can be a complicated area, so I can try to help if you need any. The Wikipedia [[Wikipedia:WP:IUP|Image use policy]] may give some background, but it isn't policy here.

To deal with this image, there are a few choices:

--[[User:Rat|Rat]] 06:54, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

:Fixed.
:And um, it's not necessary to send me the same form letter twice in a row... A simple, "can you set copyright status on this image?" would suffice. :-) --[[User:Dmuth|Douglas Muth]] 14:53, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
::Ok. Not intended to bother you. Just easier to use the form letter than come up with a custom message each time.
::Also, the GFDL requires giving attribution to the creator. If you are the creator(which I gather is the case here), then you should specify that so others can give you the attribution. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 15:29, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

== userpage vandalism ==

Thanks for the assist there! [[User:Simba B|Simba B]] 17:38, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

: No problem. This seems to be [[WikiFur:Tiscali.co.uk vandal|a certain vandal]] who has caused us problems before. Looks like another complaint to his ISP might be in order. --[[User:Dmuth|Douglas Muth]] 17:40, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

== Thanks ==

Thanks for the help on [[swifthorn]]. I am defiantly new to the whole wiki thing. What else do I need to do? {{unsigned|Kitsubaka}}

: Looking at the article right now, the main concern is if it is a Primary Source or not. That is, is the information listed there available elsewhere on the web? In keeping with the encyclopedic nature of the Wiki, we generally ask that all articles summarize information that exists elsewhere (kinda like a real life encyclopedia) and that WikiFur not be used to publish original content.
: That being said, we're not asking for a full blown website to be created or anything like that. A simple blog entry on [[LiveJournal]] or whereever that contains what is in the article thus far would be sufficient. (and we can cite it in the article)
: If you have any questions, please let me know, thanks! --[[User:Dmuth|Douglas Muth]] 22:43, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

: Of course! Here is a [http://kitsu-baka.deviantart.com/journal/6052299/ journal entry]. Thank you. =]--[[User:Kitsubaka|Kitsu]] 22:49, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

:: Works for me! Thanks. --[[User:Dmuth|Douglas Muth]] 23:30, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
:Your welcome, and thank you for guiding me along. X3--[[User:Kitsubaka|Kitsu]] 00:01, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

== Image:More Fursuit Parade.jpg ==

[[:Image:More Fursuit Parade.jpg]] needs a copyright tag. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 03:01, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

: Done. --[[User:Dmuth|Douglas Muth]] 03:55, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

== Here's the reason for the accusation . . . ==

In [[WikiFur:IRC]] last night: "[23:30] <Dongbee> I wanna kill one million jews." (their page on it is surprisingly free of [[Wikipedia:Nazi concentration camp badges|badges]]). [[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]<sup>([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])</sup> 00:09, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

== Block of 71.98.64.0/18 ==

Are you sure about blocking that entire subnet? We've only had two vandlism incidents from there over the last 24 hours. I'm concerned that we might exclude potential contributors from that block. May I propose that we unblock that block and reblock only if we keep having incidents of vandalism from there? --[[User:Dmuth|Douglas Muth]] 21:21, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
:If you wish. It's only 16384 addresses, though - I doubt we have contributors and trolls in that same block. [[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]<sup>([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])</sup> 22:10, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

== EarthLion revert ==

Why did you revert the edits on the [[EarthLion]] article? Doesn't look like vandalism to me. If it's something like the person not wanting that information out there, perhaps this should be documented on the [[Talk:EarthLion|talk page]]? [[User:Simba B|Simba B]] 20:17, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

:It looked to me like a personal attack. Granted, the wording was a little odd. Did I perhaps read it wrong or misunderstand something? --[[User:Dmuth|Douglas Muth]] 20:56, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

::I'd read that again if I were you. It's awful subtle for a personal attack. OTOH, it does seem that naming this person's enemies is not what we want. Here's what I'll do: I've got some things to take care of here, but when I get back I will restore the edit minus the enemies part. [[User:Simba B|Simba B]] 21:06, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

::: Yes, the naming of names was somewhat troubling to me, but yeah, maybe it wasn't a personal attack.
::: Your suggestion of restoring the edit without the enemies part sounds good to me! --[[User:Dmuth|Douglas Muth]] 21:10, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

== Happy christmahannakwanza! ==

Good to see someone (else) is keeping an eye on things, even today. Have a good Christmas! [[User:Simba B|Simba B]] 17:19, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

:And have a Happy Nude Deer! --[[User:Dmuth|Douglas Muth]] 19:09, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

== Duke Otterland IP ==

Should you maybe delete the revision by the IP and put his name where the IP was and not have that IP page? It's sort of a privacy thing I would think after all the stuff that's happened to him. [[User:Tretonin|Tretonin]] 16:01, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

: Even if I were to modify the talk page, it would not remove that IP from the history of edits to that page, so I think the protection would be minimal. --[[User:Dmuth|Douglas Muth]] 16:57, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

:: You change, delete and resore all but the revision. Duke's been trolled a lot. I think his IPs made public are bad, unless that wasn't him. Wikipedia admins do it, see [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=delete&user=SlimVirgin&page=] and see where it says restored ##. [[User:Tretonin|Tretonin]] 17:26, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

== No search hits for user 71.126.19.87's entries ==

None of the 27 engines (even the obscure or foreign ones,) gives one hit on any of these articles. Just FYI [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 18:15, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

== RVDDP2501 character name change request ==

Hey Dmuth, listen, I'm really sorry to bug you about this but I couldn't send this message to GreenReaper, something about a spamblocker so I thought I'd send it to you to perhaps relay the message to Greenreaper unless you can do it for me. I was wondering if I could have the page name of the character "Msaka" changed to "Ashen Msaka", I woulkd really appreciate it, thanks - [[User:RVDDP2501|RVDDP2501]] 15:24, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

:Sure thing! Done. --[[User:Dmuth|Douglas Muth]] 15:33, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

:Thanks alot :-) how are things going btw? - [[User:RVDDP2501|RVDDP2501]] 17:18, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Hey Dmuth, sorry again but I have yet another page name request, could you change the page name of the Extinctioners character "Satoru" to "Satoru Aka" please, I would really appreciate it, thank you - [[User:RVDDP2501|RVDDP2501]] 14:49, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

:Sure thing. It's done. --[[User:Dmuth|Douglas Muth]] 00:17, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

::thank you - [[User:RVDDP2501|RVDDP2501]] 00:20, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

== Extinctioners page editior ==

Hey Dmuth, listen someone named [[User:Hyenafur]] is adding and uploading pages and unlicenced pics to the extinctioners page, what should I do since these pages involve fan characters and pages with very little info? - [[User:RVDDP2501|RVDDP2501]] 01:42, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

: I see that GreenReaper beat me to it. Oh well. Feel free to let me know if anything other issues come up.. --[[User:Dmuth|Douglas Muth]] 03:46, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

::forgive my bothering you with this question but would you have any idea when the Extinctioners main page will be unlocked? - [[User:RVDDP2501|RVDDP2501]] 23:28, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

::: Has the debate been resolved? We only locked because there was a bit of a revert war going on. --[[User:Dmuth|Douglas Muth]] 00:38, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

::::As far as I can tell it has. Shawn was gracious enough to post a notice on the Extinctioners talk page regarding his standpoint on the issue. While there is no way to tell if its legit, his word would be the final authority on the issue. Karl is currently lurking in the shadows, whining about us in his [http://furry.wikia.com/index.php?title=Karl_Kratt&oldid=112423 own WikiFur article] and [http://cadetkratt.deviantart.com/ his deviantART page]. Well, not whining. More as if his feelings are hurt because he feels all his hard work was for naught.
What hasn't been decided on yet is a solution to how to treat fanfiction work for Extinctioners and other various titles.--[[User:KendricksRedtail|Kendricks Redtail]] 00:56, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Ok... hmmm... I honestly don't know what more I can do or say in terms of this matter. If a decision is acheived in terms of how fan fiction is treated and/or when the Extinctioners main page is re-opened, please let me know, thank you - [[User:RVDDP2501|RVDDP2501]] 01:24, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

: Okay, I just unprotected the article. We'll see how that works out. --[[User:Dmuth|Douglas Muth]] 05:03, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

::Thank you, I will keep an eye on it and if anything similar to before takes place, I will keep you informed, once again, Thank you :-) - [[User:RVDDP2501|RVDDP2501]] 10:37, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

== This morning's vandalism ==

Holy crap. Thanks for being on the ball with the vandals that came by this morning! --[[User:Dmuth|Douglas Muth]] 14:42, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Stick around! I'm not sure they've gone yet... -- [[User:Higgs Raccoon|Higgs Raccoon]] 14:46, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

== page name question ==

Hey Dmuth, RVDDP2501 here, listen, I just want to get your opinion on something, I created a page for an Extinctioners character named [[Stalker]], my question is that since this characters name is very broad, in your opinion, should the name be either changed to Ethan Stalworth (character's real name) or possibly have the word "(Extinctioners)" placed at the end, let me know what you think, thank you - [[User:RVDDP2501|RVDDP2501]] 19:46, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

:Since at this time, we have no name conflict, I don't see a real need for a disambiguation page. If one ever happens, we can just move the current one to "Stalker (Extinctioneers)" at that time. --[[User:Dmuth|Douglas Muth]] 23:31, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

::Ok, thanks - [[User:RVDDP2501|RVDDP2501]] 23:33, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

== New User Templates ==

Hey. I saw the mass number of user templates and was wondering if you could add some more. :)

Those are the ones I can think of. :)

== Board of Directors vs. convention committee ==

It is my understanding that the [[Board of Directors]] is ''not'' equivalent to the [[convention committee]]. The Board directs the organization over multiple years, and is legally separate from its day-to-day operation. The convention committee is convened by the [[convention chairman]], who is chosen by the board, in a similar manner to the way in which for-profit corporation boards choose a CEO who subsequently hires staff. The chairman directs the convention and organizes the committee, and is ultimately responsible to the board for his actions and those of his staff. Often the only power the board has over the convention is to deny a complete budget or to replace the chairman, except in extraordinary circumstances (the board has [[Wikipedia:fiduciary|fiduciary responsibility]], so they have to [http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Talk:Furry_fans_flock_to_Further_Confusion_2007#AAE_board_meeting_notes step in if something goes wrong]).

The Board will often include several [[greymuzzle]] members who are not actively involved in running the convention, but are viewed as "sound minds." Now, it may be that [[Anthrocon|''some'' conventions]] regularly have [http://www.anthrocon.org/about board members] who are also active members of the convention committee - more [[Wikipedia:Board of directors#Classification|"executive directors."]] However, that is not necessarily the case. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]<sup>([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])</sup> 21:10, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

: Not only is this not the case in Anthrocon (as you mention), but in Anthrocon there is ''no'' "Convention Committee". It is the Board members themselves who are responsible for the day to day operations of the convention.
:(As an aside, our rationale behind this is that it eliminates a lot of politics. I've seen other non-furry conventions run into issues where people on the ConCom end up doing lots of work, only to perceive themselves as being "bossed around" by Board members who aren't doing much of anything. Obviously, that kinda sucks when you're putting in lots of effort, only to have someone else step in and tell you how to do things. Under our system, if you want to be on the Board, you have to do the work. )
:Anyway, perhaps we should expand the Convention Committee article to explain the different leadership types found in different cons. I'm not sure how to approach this though. Your thoughts? --[[User:Dmuth|Douglas Muth]] 21:18, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

::Hmm, interesting! I think probably the best thing to do is to have one article that discusses the different models of [[convention organization]] or [[convention management]]. Alternatively, we could just put it all back into [[convention]], under a "Management" heading. Having separate articles about every little detail just makes it harder to see the whole picture.

::: I'm all for putting this into [[convention]]. --[[User:Dmuth|Douglas Muth]] 21:43, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

::I also noticed that there is no copy of Anthrocon, Inc.'s bye-laws on the [http://www.anthrocon.org/about about page]. Would it be possible to add that at some point? It seems like it would complement the information already there. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]<sup>([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])</sup> 21:36, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

::: I think we use stock by-laws, but I'll check with [[UncleKage|Sam]]. We don't have too much "offical" structure, anyway. Our yearly Board Meeting, as required by law, takes about 10 minutes and is held on the Monday following Anthrocon in or around Con Ops.
::: Don't get me startedon what I think of mandatory "weekly meetings" and the like. :-P --[[User:Dmuth|Douglas Muth]] 21:43, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Hey Dmuth, how's it going, listen, I was wondering if you could change the page name of the Extinctioners character, "Radica" to "Radica Procyon", thank you - [[User:RVDDP2501|RVDDP2501]] 01:21, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

== AnimalCon ==

Hi Giza, can you please restore my article? I found your dismissal of my furmeet as "an attempt to sell videos" rather insulting. I've provided the website FOR the meet (which was dismised) as well as the Long Island Furs website, which had "Animal Con" indexed as a meet earlier this month. The site is maintained by Dr. Sergey "Cubbi" Zubakov.

Maybe you would have been better flagigng it for revision or dividing it into two parts; the "metafiction" aspect of the con as referred to in the films versus the "real life" counterpart as the actual meet, which Umgotts Studios sponsored and filmed at.

Thank you. {{unsigned|Sgatsby}}

: First, I didn't delete your article. [[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]] did.
: Second, uou forgot to mention the part wherein you created that very same article some months before, and it too was deleted.
: It seems to me that you are attempting to "alter the data to support your conclusion", so to speak.
: If you want to make stuff up to advertise your videos, I couldn't care less. What we here do care about is you trying to use this Wiki as an advertising vehicle for your videos. That sort of behavior is unacceptable, and it will not be tolerated. --[[User:Dmuth|Douglas Muth]] 13:36, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

RDF:

:''This article is about the character. "Rain" is also a nickname for [[D.C. Simpson]].''
'''General Rain Silves''' is a [[Sergal]], creation of [http://www.trancymick.com/ trancy MICK].

Rain is the leader of the Tatola Desert tribe of Sergals, these tribe members are noticed by the longer fur compared to the south Sailzan Desert tribe. She is slightly different to an average Sergal, she is much taller and has an eye color mutation which causes her eyes to have a golden pigment instead of grey or blue. She is known to wear a multi-piece ceramic armour into battle and wield what seems to be a double-bladed lance or some sort. She uses blood of her enemies or her companion - Gin to paint the 'blood-trails' that go down her eyes. The most interesting part of her anatomy is the perishile clitoris, which a lot of people mistake for a penis and think that Rain is a hermaphrodite, however she is female.

== History ==

She is the main charcter of the series of stories Trancy wrote about the world of Vilous, where she's a supreme commander of the Shigu clan. In those stories Rain is shown as a cruel and cold creature, who just loves bloodshed. The author confirms that the Sergal General loves eating still-alive prey, especially Sergal children of the rival clans. Still, despite her violent and cruel nature, Rain seems to share affection for a young Wahuenru named Gin.

== The meme ==

It is unknown really who first thought of "Rain likes to rape" meme, but quickly Rain's popularity on [[4chan]] skyrocketed to match that of [[Pyramid Head]]. Her nightmarish appearance and the perihsile clit hood quickly caught the acceptance of the wider audience. Soon a lot of fan art following, with themes raging from 'tame' to outright parody, where we can see Rain dressed up as a nurse, a schoolgirl or even a tennis player.

Rain position as one of the furry icons is getting stronger day by day and it is possible that she may soon join the anthro Hall of Fame with other noticable furry characters.

'''RealDesertFox''' (also known as '''RDF''') is a [[hybrid]] jackrabbit-[[fennec|fennec fox]] fur from [[Wikipedia:Bath|Bath]], United Kingdom.

== The Fur ==

Because he is a hybrid he is unique, and quite peculiar. For example, he takes some traits from both sides of his family. He has large ears that are strangly not much like the jackrabbits, apart from the size. The ear size is also effected by the fennec fox side.

He also has a large fox like tail which he adores very much so.

It is not known why he is much larger than both families, perhaps it is a similar situation as with the [[liger]].

He is mild shade of yellow, and can mostly be seen wearing black clothes, or sometimes blue jeans.

It has also been noted that the character does resemble Jazz or Spaz Jackrabbit, from the [[Jazz Jackrabbit]] games, but this is purely coincidental.

=== Origins ===

The name '''RealDesertFox''' derived from ''DesertFox'', RDFs username registered in 1999 on the old [[Wikipedia:Game Maker|Game Maker]] forum.

He became a fur that same year during a school class with two other friends who both became furs. Because he liked the Fennec Fox he decided to call himself DesertFox on these forums, but he forgot his password and later became RealDesertFox.

He has used the name in many places, along with other names such as RDF, MrBunneh, and GothicBunny.

== UKFur Scene ==

He is the founder of [[SouthFurs]] group for [[UKFur]] and can sometimes be seen attending many [[meet]]s, including [[London Furmeet]]s.

Registering in early 2003, he became an active member and an administrator in 2005. During this time the forum software was changed from phpBB to Invision Power, as he has had experience with this software before. Due to this, he became the most active administrator on the forum.

After having an online argument with another user of the forum he decided to remove his own administrative powers and removed his account to have a 'cooling off' period.

He returned on the 6th of March 2006 as a normal member to keep in touch with the local furmeets.

== PlanetFurry Scene ==

RDF registered on [[PlanetFurry]] (PF) on the 9th of October 2002, during this time he has participated in many active topics and has even created the largest topic on the forum, the ''Word Association'' thread.

He left PF for a brief period to spend more time on college work, and later returned when he was not busy.

He, Fox and Arctic Fox were known as the first wave of British fur invaders (even though other British furs were around but not active).

== Lifestyle ==

RDF is a student at City of Bath college currently studying for degrees in Computing Science before moving onto [[Wikipedia:Certificate_in_Education|Certificate in Education (CertED)]], for a career in teaching.

He does not usual wear furry attire, but sometimes can be seen wearing paws and ears, he has no intention of making or buying a fursuit.

== Hobbies ==

RDF is not an artist but an amateur photographer and a professional programmer in [[Wikipedia:Object-oriented programming|OOP]] languages such as [[Wikipedia:PHP|PHP]] ( >= 4) and [[Wikipedia:VB.NET|VB.Net]].

He hopes he can further improve his skills by taking up a foundation degree then a [[Wikipedia:Bachelor of Science|Bachelor of Science]] degree, before acquiring any further qualifications.

He used to write his own fictional work, but due to time constraints with college work and social life he has not continued this for some years.

He is an avid gamer, and enjoys first person shooters, roleplayers, and real-time strategy games. He does not play much online but likes to have a little go once and a while.

He is a regular user of the [[LiveJournal]] (''LJ'') communities [http://community.livejournal.com/customers_suck/ Customer Sucks!] and [http://community.livejournal.com/bad_driving/ Bad Drivers Alert!!], and can be found posting under his LJ username '''bunnehfuzz'''.

== Beliefs ==

RDF is an atheist and believes in equal beliefs for all, but does dislike extremists both religious and non-religious.

He is [[Wikipedia:Omnivore|omnivorous]] but has a strong dislike for red meets, including beef and lamb, and is very rarely seen eating these.

He also dislikes furry extremists and purely furry fetishists, especially those who choose to 'show off' their fetish to every person they find, furry or not.

He also dislikes being physically touched at furry meets and conventions, as this is a normal occurance at said areas he is reluctant to go.
