'''Midwest FurFest''' (commonly abbreviated as '''MFF''') is the [[List of conventions by attendance|world's largest]] [[furry]] [[convention]] with an attendance of "around 8,700" in 2017. It is held annually in [[Wikipedia:Rosemont, Illinois|Rosemont, Illinois]]. The convention has been running as a separate entity since 2000.

== History ==
[[File:MFF Attendance Through 2017.png|right|thumb|200px|Visitor Statistics]]
Midwest FurFest got its start as the furry track for [[Duckon]], a Chicago-based [[science fiction]] convention. The furry track was started at Duckon 3 in 1994 and was headed up by [[Robert King]]. The track grew larger each year and it was estimated that by Duckon 8 (1999) between one-quarter and one-third of the attendees were there due to interest in the furry track.

The track ran into problems because it was running out of room to expand without costing other parts of Duckon programming space and time. It was decided that the best course of action was to spin off into a new convention.

Thus [[Midwest Furry Fandom, Inc.]] was created and Midwest FurFest was born, to take place in November 2000, on
the weekend before [[Wikipedia:Thanksgiving|Thanksgiving]]. The parting was amicable, and Duckon lent a good bit of expertise and manpower to help make the first year of Midwest FurFest a success.

Since then, the convention has grown from 388 attendees in 2000 to 8700 in 2017, making it the [[List of conventions by attendance|largest furry convention in the world]]<ref>[https://twitter.com/midwestfurfest/status/937460887564308481 Tweet] on the Midwest FurFest [[Twitter]]. Dated/Retrieved December 3, 2017</ref> surpassing the previous title holder Anthrocon in registered attendance in 2017. It has helped raise over $285,276 for various charities.

Midwest FurFest is a production of [[Midwest Furry Fandom, Inc.]], which holds ''[http://tarr.uspto.gov/servlet/tarr?regser=serial&entry=78958777 Midwest Furfest]'' and ''[http://tarr.uspto.gov/servlet/tarr?regser=serial&entry=78958792 furfest]'' as [[Wikipedia:Service mark|service marks]].

The official Twitter account of Midwest FurFest [https://twitter.com/midwestfurfest/status/668939519668781056 advises attendees to post on Twitter using the hashtag] [https://twitter.com/search?q=%23FurFest #FurFest], as many other conventions are abbreviated MFF, one of which takes place at around the same time. Previously, Midwest FurFest [http://forum.furfest.org/index.php/topic,393.0.html suggested using] [https://twitter.com/search?q=%23MwFF the #MWFF hashtag], for the same reason.

[[File:Red-shoulderedHawk.jpg|right|thumb|Red-shouldered hawk]]The '''hawk''' is any of a group of [[Wikipedia:diurnal|diurnal]] raptor [[bird|birds]] of the taxonomic suborder ''Falcones'' of the order ''Falconiformes''. The term ''hawk'' sometimes includes falcons. Hawks and falcons have been semi-domesticated and used as hunting birds (Falconry) for centuries.

Hawks generally have broad wings. Open-range hawks (particularly of the genus ''Buteo'', AKA Buzzard Hawks) have long broad wings and are known for their typical gliding flight pattern.

Forest hawks (like those of the genus ''Accipiter'') have shorter wings and proportionally longer tails than open-range hawks. This configuration allows faster turning and more maneuverability. Forest hawks are generally don't soar.

Falcons have long narrow wings are are built more for speed than soaring. The Peregrine Falcon, ''Falco peregrinus'', is the fastest bird on record, reaching speeds of 200 mph in a stoop (a kind of speed dive).

Forum:Forum:Red Linking Category Issues at the top of The Camp Meet Pages

[[Category:Help desk]]



I am having an issue with one of the Categories on WikiFur and a Red Link that I can't get rid of unless I am an power user of type on here, which I am not. The Problem is with the [[:Category:Camps]] as many of the pages in this category are also linking to the deleted [[:Category:Outdoor events]] are the very top of many of the pages in the Camps Category. I have tried editing both [[:Category:Camps]] and [[:Category:Events]] but it doesn't seem to link anywhere to [[:Category:Outdoor events]] so I am assuming this is an issue with the MediaWiki here. Right Now I have documented the following pages that have this issue: [[Camp Furst State]], [[Central Midwest Furmeet]], [[Central Plains Fur Meet]], [[Camp Wildpaw]], [[FinFur Summer Camp]], [[Furstock]], [[Fur-CAMP]], [[Fur Weekend Camping & BBQ]], and [[Ibercamp]]. I have posted this issue to the WikiFur Chat but no one was there to help at the Moment as GreenReaper was at work. [[User:Sawblade5|Victor Redtail AKA Sawblade5]] 17:18, 11 January 2013 (EST)

:This is where the Issue lies look for the line looking exactly like this:

Hi I am Victor Redtail aka Sawblade5. I am a occasional contributor to WikiFur mainly to clean up or to update information on items. I do help out here with the #wikifur-edits channel on Freenode with my bot posting the IP and flag edits that are possibly vandalism. (So please join that room when going on Freenode to keep track of those edits) I am a real bird lover with mainly birds of prey or Raptors and would consider myself to be [[Avian]] mainly Raptorian. (What I call my specific grouping to be and the name I came up with with Raptor meaning [[Birds of Prey]] and not the Dinosaur name which some furies here have for their fursona) My main fursona is a [[Hawk]].

I got into this when I realized that I am not the only one that likes these things. I even wanted a fursuit of my fursona even before I knew about this. I do not yet own any real [[fursuit]]s unless you count my [[Gorilla]] [[Costume]] as one (and does not even look like a very good one and nowhere close to matching my fursona), I also own a simple Fleece [[Eagle]] costume that comes pretty close to matching my fursona (I wore this one to work on Halloween 2008). I hope to be able to make my own fursuit or even have one ordered if I know of artists that can make a good looking Hawk as I think they're neat and sometimes really cute. I have since got Fursuits of my main Red-Tailed Hawk Character [[Victor Redtail]] and a alt Fursona Isaiah Eagle.

Since I don't know much about furry fandom you probably wont see me making as many edits here as in the other wiki's that I post to including [[Uncyclopedia]] and [[Wikipedia]].

[http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/User:Sawblade5 My Uncyclopedia Userpage]: I spend some of my time there.

I do not yet own any real [[fursuit]]s unless you count my [[Gorilla]] [[Costume]] as one (and does not even look like a very good one and nowhere close to matching my fursona), I also own a simple Fleece [[Eagle]] costume that comes pretty close to matching my fursona (I wore this one to work on Halloween 2008). I hope to be able to make my own fursuit or even have one ordered if I know of artists that can make a good looking Hawk as I think they're neat and sometimes really cute. I have since got Fursuits of my main Red-Tailed Hawk Character [[Victor Redtail]] and a alt Fursona Isaiah Eagle.

Since I don't know much about furry fandom you probably wont see me making as many edits here as in the other wiki's that I post to including [[Uncyclopedia]] and [[Wikipedia]].

[http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/User:Sawblade5 My Uncyclopedia Userpage]: I spend some of my time there.

'''Central Plains Fur Meet''' (or '''CPFM''') is an outdoor camping style [[furmeet]] that is held at the [[Wikipedia:Lake Afton|Lake Afton]] campground near [[Wikipedia:Wichita, Kansas|Wichita, Kansas]], U.S.A. This is not the same event as a similarly named camping meet in Kansas, the [[Central Midwest Furmeet]]. Starting in 2013 there's a spin off convention to Central Plains Fur Meet called [[Central Plains Fur Con]] which is a indoor hotel version to this convention. <ref>[https://sites.google.com/site/cpfurcon/ Central Plains Fur Con Website]</ref>

==Central Plains Fur Meet 2010==
The first Central Plains Fur Meet was held over May 29-30, 2010 at the Cheney Lake campground near Cheney, Kansas. It was started by [[Merkindesr]] and [[Dale Fox]]. There were 22 preregistered.

==Central Plains Fur Meet 2011==
CPFM 2011 was held on June 25-26, 2011 at the Lake Afton campgrounds near Wichita, Kansas. There were 24 people preregistered. The [[Guest of Honor]] was [[Luthien Nightwolf]].

==Central Plains Fur Meet 2012==
CPFM 2012 was held on May 18-20 at the Lake Afton campgrounds near Wichita, Kansas. This year Merkindesr and Dale Fox rented an air conditioned pavillion where there were dances held as well as a raffle. There were 36 preregistered. The [[Guest of Honor]] was [[Wolfaya]].<ref>[http://www.centralplainsfurmeet.com/ Attendance list] mentioning Wolfaya as Guest of Honor.</ref>

Sawblade5: moved Central Plains Furmeet to Central Plains Fur Meet: The Fur and Meet are Separate Words on the Website. So I am assuming it is the official name of it.

'''Megaplex''' is a furry [[convention]] first held in March 2002 as '''[[Pawpet]] Megaplex'''. The latest edition, [[Megaplex 10]], was held 29-31 July, 2011 in [[Wikipedia:Kissimmee, Florida|Kissimmee]], [[Wikipedia:Florida|Florida]], part of the [[Wikipedia:Orlando, Florida|Orlando]] metropolitan area.

Megaplex's stated goal is to provide "a celebration of interactive arts and performance, with a primary focus on [[anthropomorphic]]s and fantasy".<ref>[http://www.megaplexcon.org/about About Megaplex] (22 September 2010)</ref> Programming has focused on [[fursuit]]ing, [[puppet]]ry, improvisation, and other types of performance, including musical performances by [[Wikipedia:Toxic_Audio|Toxic Audio]], [http://www.42five.com/ 4:2:Five] and [[Hali|Matthew Ebel]]. In 2005, the convention hosted the Potpourri of Puppets, a puppetry event held in the Orlando area.

A variety of factors<ref name="candidcomments">''[http://community.livejournal.com/megaplex/24878.html Some Candid Comments on Megaplex, from the Chair]'' - [[Carl Fox]], {{lj-comm|megaplex}} (24 December 2006)</ref><ref>''[http://community.livejournal.com/megaplex/35393.html Goodbye, 2007...Hello, 2008!]'' - [[Carl Fox]], {{lj-comm|megaplex}} (7 March 2007)</ref> has caused Megaplex's attendance to fluctuate over the years. Attendance peaked in 2005 at 387, again in 2009 with 425, and the most recent year at 553.

== History ==
{{Megaplex}}
'''Pawpet Megaplex''' (8-10 March 2002, 126 attending) came into being as a replacement for [[Furry Spring Break]], which was held in 2001. FSB was unable to secure hotel space for a second convention in 2002, and folded. In its stead, Pawpet Live Experiences, Inc. was formed and held the first Pawpet Megaplex at the Ramada Resort and Convention Center in Orlando, FL.

'''Pawpet Megaplex 2''' (21-23 March 2003, 197 attending) moved to the movie-themed Sheraton Studio City Resort, closer to [http://www.universalorlando.com/ Universal Studios Florida]. The convention had its first [[guest of honor]], [[SueDeer|Susan Rankin]]. This was also the first year [[Wikipedia:Toxic_Audio|Toxic Audio]] appeared.

'''Megaplex 3''' (19-21 March 2004, 357 attending) returned to the Sheraton Studio City, with guest of honor [[Wikipedia:Trace Beaulieu|Trace Beaulieu]], of [[Wikipedia:Mystery Science Theater 3000|MST3K]] fame (Dr. Clayton Forrester, Crow T. Robot). The convention's theme played heavily on the fact the name of the con could be abbreviated to "[[Wikipedia:MP3|MP3]]"; this was seen in promotional materials, as well as on-site artwork and the con book. The convention officially dropped the "Pawpet" from the name this year; however, the official web site remained ''ppmp.info'' until 2009.

'''Megaplex 4''' (11-16 March 2005, 387 attending) moved into larger quarters at the Sheraton World Resort, right next door to the [http://www.seaworld.com/ SeaWorld Orlando] theme park. The guest of honor was professional puppeteer [[Wikipedia:John_Kennedy_(puppeteer)|John Kennedy]]. As part of the convention, Orlando's Potpourri of Puppets was hosted on Sunday night. The convention's theme, taking into account the fact Interstate 4 goes through Orlando, was a "road trip."

'''Megaplex 5''' (17-19 March 2006, 257 attending) was held at the Sheraton World Resort. The fifth anniversary con's theme saluted the B-movies of days gone by, lending MP5 the subtitle of "...Teh Horror!" [sic]. Unfortunately, part of the horror was the hotel, which staff and attendees alike had troubles with{fact}. [[Brian Reynolds]] attended as a guest of honor with his wife, [[Tracy Reynolds|Tracy]].

'''Megaplex 6''' (2-4 March 2007, 185 attending) was held at the Wyndham Jacksonville Riverfront. The primary reason for the move to Jacksonville was cost - hotels in Orlando and [[Wikipedia:Tampa, Florida|Tampa]] wanted two to three times what Megaplex had paid for space in the past, whereas the Wyndham's offer was more in line with past deals. The convention had a game show theme, and its guest of honor was [[Mike Kazaleh]].

'''Megaplex 7''' (28-30 March 2008, 255 attending) returned to the Wyndham Jacksonville Riverfront. The theme (announced at Megaplex 6's [[closing ceremonies]]) was comics, with heroes and villains battling it out in the form of convention mascot MegaPanther, and his arch foe, Baron Von Redtail. [[Adam Wan]] was the guest of honor, and the special musical guest was [[Hali|Matthew Ebel]], who also participated in the traditional live ''Rocky Horror'' event performing as Frank N Furter.

'''Megaplex 8''' (24-26 July, 2009, 425 attending) marked a move away from the traditional March time frame in response to [[Furry Weekend Atlanta|FWA]]'s move into March. The convention also returned to Central Florida, at the Radisson Worldgate Resort Orlando, located in nearby Kissimmee, FL, and a short distance from [[Wikipedia:Walt Disney World|Walt Disney World]]'s main gate. The convention had a "Toyland" theme, with a "Christmas in July" sub-theme, and the guest of honor was [[BigBlueFox]]. Popular events for Megaplex 8 included a reprisal of the "Rocky Horror Picture Show," with Matt Ebel as Frank N Furter, a live performance of the Funday Pawpet Show, The Big Blue Fox "Dance till Dawn," and the return of "Fursuit Deal or Big Deal."

'''Megaplex 9''' (23-25 July, 2010, 410 attending) once again took place at the Radisson WorldGate Resort in Kissimmee, Florida. The convention featured a Mad Science theme with Guest of Honor [[Wikipedia:Paul Zaloom|Paul Zaloom]], the actor behind [[Wikipedia:Beakman|Beakman]] from [[Wikipedia:Beakman's World|Beakman's World]]. The con expanded its meeting space to include a larger Dealer's Den, an Artist Alley, and lounge area dubbed "The Lair." 81 fursuiters were in the Fursuit Parade and the con raised $2,928 for the CARE Foundation.

'''Megaplex 10''' (29-31 July, 2011, 553 attending) returned to the WorldGate Resort (which dropped the Radisson name) for Megaplex 2011: Retro Arcade. This was the 10th Megaplex, with Chad Krueger as Guest of Honor. 86 Fursuiters walked in the first Fursuit Parade at the con, and 64 walked in the second Late Night Fursuit Parade. Megaplex raised $1,268 for the CARE Foundation this year.

'''Megaplex 11''' is currently penned to run 27-29 July, 2012, with the theme "Steampunk: Turning Back The Gears." The venue and guest of honor are to be announced.

== Rating ==

From its origin as a "[[funny animal]] convention" promising "good clean fun"<ref>[http://bbs.quickfox.net/msgs/msg.ssjs?msg_sub=furry20&message=224 FUR: New Convention] - fur.conventions (6 January 2002)</ref> -- which has been acknowledged as a PR blunder by the convention<ref name="candidcomments" /> -- Megaplex has had a somewhat prudish reputation. This has been reinforced by its PG-13 rating, which historically extended to both sales and events (with the exception of the ''[[Wikipedia:Rocky Horror Picture Show|Rocky Horror Picture Show]]'' since 2006).

In 2007, [[Convention chairman|con chair]] [[Carl Fox]] noted that, at the time, the convention staff felt that Megaplex's event rating was appropriate to the convention's location and audience, and was equivalent to [[Anthrocon]]'s in most areas.<ref name="candidcomments" />

However, for Megaplex 7 (2008), the convention adopted similar dealer's room rules as [[Furry Weekend Atlanta|FWA]]'s, allowing mature work as long as it is not displayed openly.<ref>[http://www.megaplexcon.org/pastweb/mp7/security.php#dealer Megaplex 2008 policy document - Dealer Room]</ref> Also, some of the performances late on Friday and Saturday nights contained more mature language and material (''Rocky Horror'' amongst them), marking a shift away from the strict rating on events.

== Staff and organization ==

Pawpet Live Experiences, Inc. (PLEx) is a class C for-profit corporation operating out of the State of Florida.<ref>''[http://www.sunbiz.org/scripts/cordet.exe?action=DETFIL&inq_doc_number=P02000002192&inq_came_from=NAMFWD&cor_web_names_seq_number=0000&names_name_ind=N&names_cor_number=&names_name_seq=&names_name_ind=&names_comp_name=PAWPET&names_filing_type= Pawpet Live Experiences]'' - Florida Department of State</ref>. PLEx, Inc. was incorporated in January 2002, a mere two months before putting on Pawpet Megaplex 1, and went the faster route of incorporating under the less stringent for-profit statutes. The Board of Directors runs the convention on a not-for-profit basis, and intends to eventually update their incorporation to officially reflect this{fact}.

PLEx, Inc.'s current president is [[Yappy Slyfox|Randy "Yappy" Fox]], and the vice president is [[Kuddlepup|John "K.P." Cole]]. Together they currently share the role of [[convention chairman]].

The current Board members are:

* [[Yappy Slyfox|Randy "Yappy" Fox]] - President, Hotel Liaison, Registration Director, A/V Director
* [[Kuddlepup|John "K.P." Cole]] - Vice President
* [[Carl Fox|Karl F. Meyers]] - Operations Director (former president, stepped down after Megaplex 7)
* [[JR|Dan "Jackrabbit" Boatright]] - Programming Director, Secretary
* [[skippyfox|Zachary "skippyfox" Friedrich]] - Promotions Director

Other staff members include [[Blitz Wolfang]], [[Brejar HowlynStar]], [[Dingoroo]], [[EagleBeagle|Eagle Beagle]], [[Fafner]], [[Genesis Whitmore]], [[Jess "Lynxcat" Bonn]], [[Johnmutt]], [[Michel Mephit]], [[Mini Zee]], [[Rasvar|Jim "Rasvar" Mogle]], [[Salen Stormwing]], [[Santa Fox]], [[Sobek Wanikami]], [[Sparky Fox]], [[STiTcH]], [[Takala]], [[Urson]], [[WildWolf|Wild Wolf]], and [[Wolfpac]].

The convention actively recruits new staffers through open face-to-face meetings and on-line chats. A more comprehensive listing of Megaplex staff and their roles is visible on the convention's website.

Former staff members include [[AnimeCat]], [[Antimon]], [[Arix]], [[Brace Bear]], [[Brent "Acidwolf" Scott]], [[Chilly Mouse]], [[Ford Shepherd]], [[Hino Pup]], [[JadedFox|Josh "Jaded Fox" Strom]], [[Sasta]], [[Liesl Muckey]], [[Karl_F._Meyers|Marti Meyers]], [[Mike Russell]], [[Mach Stormrunner|Patrick "Mach" Dowden]], [[Ronin Otter]], [[RisuKun]], [[Scott Whitmore]], [[Scott Garron]], [[Tappycat]], [[Terry "Mouse" Sender]] and [[Vector]].

== Innovative Ideas ==

Despite its small size, Megaplex has successfully tried many creative and innovative ideas. Some of these include:

* The giveaway of custom beverage mugs to all full memberships and not just higher paying memberships (as long as supplies last). This has been one of the most popular attributes of Megaplex membership and due to the artwork on them, the mugs have become quite collectible.
* The inception of a very high dollar membership level above supersponsors called the "Megasponsor." Megasponsors were given all the perks of a Supersponsor level, and also received special gifts such as engraved pocketwatches. Megasponsors are credited for funding some of the convention's signature events such as the concerts by [[Wikipedia:Toxic_Audio|Toxic Audio]] and 4:2:Five.
* Introducing new game show concepts such as "Fursuit Deal or Big Deal." Traditionally hosted by [[2 the Ranting Gryphon]], this game allows contestants to be selected from the audience to play and go to the final round. The final round mirrors "Deal or No Deal," but instead of having models, the cases are opened by fursuiters.
* First done in 2005, the convention's main events have been streamed live online.
* Sponsor Lounge. Instead of having a con suite that is open to all attendees, Megaplex offers a well stocked lounge open only to Sponsors and above. The quality of the sponsor lounge has been considered a significant enough perk that many attendees upgrade to the sponsor level just for access to the lounge{fact}. Beginning in 2009, the Sponsor Lounge has provided snow cones to all attendees on Sunday afternoon as a way of saying thanks to the general attendance base.
* Beginning in 2010, the convention offered registration badge number 1 for the 2011 convention in the charity auction. While this badge number is usually reserved for convention chairman, Megaplex opted to let an attendee bid for it in the charity auction. The auctioning of badge number 1 raised over $300 for charity in 2010.
* In 2011, hall prizes called "Achievements" (corresponding with the video game theme of that year) were given out to attendees who accomplished them. Each achievement was kept secret, remaining unrevealed until it was awarded.

Anthrocon 2012

2011-08-06T08:14:02Z

Sawblade5: 2012 date change.

{{Anthrocon}}

'''Anthrocon 2012''' will be the 16th annual [[Anthrocon]] furry [[convention]]. It was to be held on the weekend of June 21st to 24th, 2012, but was moved up to June 14th to 17th.<ref>[http://www.anthrocon.org/node/7248/anthrocon-announces-dates-2012 http://www.anthrocon.org/node/7248/anthrocon-announces-dates-2012]</ref><ref>[http://www.anthrocon.org/faq/date Convention Date Related Questions] - From Anthrocon's [http://www.anthrocon.org/faq FAQ]</ref> at the [[wikipedia:David L. Lawrence Convention Center|David L. Lawrence Convention Center]] in [[wikipedia:Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania|Pittsburgh]], [[w:Pennsylvania|Pennsylvania]]. The date change moving the convention a week earlier was a part of a deal between AC and Pittsburgh to allow the city to host a special event on the weekend where AC was originally scheduled for and allow AC to have an extra 100 hotel rooms for the con as part of that deal. <ref>[http://www.anthrocon.org/node/7248/anthrocon-announces-dates-2012 http://www.anthrocon.org/node/7248/anthrocon-announces-dates-2012]</ref> AC 2012 will beat out [[ConFurence]] for longevity, officially making it the longest running convention in North America, and the 2nd longest running in the world after [[Eurofurence]].

The first Furmeet was held on 11-12 September 2010. The 2nd Meet is expected to sometime in September of 2011.

== History ==
Central Midwest Furmeet was started by [[Steel Wolf]] [http://www.furaffinity.net/user/steelthewolf/] and [[Riyeko Lordaeron]] [http://www.furaffinity.net/user/riyeko/] as a spur of the moment idea that was considered since many other [[furmeet]]s were far away and they were both unable to attend them.

==Charity==
The organizers are still discussing a [[charity]], but are most likely to choose an organization that deals with smaller animals, such as shelters, pounds, or the [[Wikipedia:American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals|ASPCA]].

[[Image:Improved anthro.png|right|100px|Official logo]]
'''Improved Anthropomorphics''' is a group that believes that the "private, personal interests" of certain members of the [[furry fandom]] provide an inaccurate public representation of the fandom as a whole, and that this prevents the fandom from "reaching its full artistic and cultural potential".<ref name="DraftPR">''[http://community.livejournal.com/burned_fur/17194.html Draft PR for LJ/Wikifur/et cetera...]'' - Leam et.al., burned_fur LiveJournal (May 23, 2007)</ref>

== Ideology ==
Improved Anthropomorphics asserts that the fandom's public image is important, and that it is damaged by association with groups which, in their eyes, are not a valid representation of furry fandom. Thus, they particularly disapprove of subgroups of the furry community such as [[Nazi Furs]] and [[babyfur]]s when such groups manage - intentionally or otherwise - to associate their [[:Category:paraphilias|paraphilias]] with the fandom as a whole. They hope to steer [[:Category:Media coverage|media attention]] away from such representatives, and encourage members of these subgroups to be discrete about their interests and activities.

The group's members have similar views and goals to a prior group known as the [[Burned Furs]], though they claim different methods. Where the Burned Furs decided to "institute ourselves as a monkey wrench in the gears of mainstream fandom" and "strongly discourage the support of acts such as [[bestiality]], [[plushophilia]], [[fursuit]] sex and other things seen as 'wrong' by [[mundane|non-fandom individuals]]",<ref>[http://burnedfur.mv.com/purpose.html Burned Fur - Statement of Purpose]</ref> Improved Anthropomorphics claims to "[inspire] change from within by setting a good example". Their motto is "Furry Fans Standing Up for A Better Fandom".

== History ==
[[Ash M. Cairo|"The Reverend" Ash Maurice Cairo]] launched the group on November 22, 2005, under the name '''Burned Furs II'''. While it adopted the general philosophy of the former group, the only direct association between them was the adoption of the same name and identifying icon. The choice of name and logo was controversial, resulting in resistance to the group from fandom members with bad memories of the former Burned Furs.

In January 2007, [[Leam]] proposed the group should change its name to "Improved Anthropomorphics".<ref>''[http://community.livejournal.com/burned_fur/16349.html New name ideas?]'' - [[Leam]] et. al., burned_fur LiveJournal (May 26, 2007)</ref> In late May, the group announced that this name would be adopted "to avoid further confusion and drama".<ref name="DraftPR" /> Other names considered included "Better Fandom" and "Anthropomorphics Unlimited".
