TheBunnyMan: Removed fake name, updated grammar, removed broken references, updated modern info, updated links

[[Image:TheBunnyMan-picture-2009.jpg|right|thumb|170px|theBunnyMan, age 28, enjoying his 21y/o brothers birthday party]]
"theBunnyMan", born August 31st, 1981, is a [[furry]] from Las Vegas, Nevada. He is a white [[rabbit]]. theBunnyMan is pansexual and currently single.

theBunnyMan believes in animal totemism and believes that is what defines him as a furry. theBunnyMan has always felt the link to animals and performs several forms of divination, including tarot. He was a member of All Kindred Society of Las Vegas and the ShadowGate House, but left both groups to due to conflict of interests. He quietly disassociated from both groups at well as otherkin and Wicca as a whole. He currently identifies as a Nihilist but still lives by a strict personal moral code based off the pagan teachings.

theBunnyMan speaks in a very lighthearted and playful tone and is often wearing a huge smile but he often talks in a very jeering manner, both about all his friends and himself which is often misconstrued as him being very rude. He also often can be very offensive since he has very little shame or social taboo's, finding most of them entertaining. This mostly causes problems when he is posting on the internet<ref>http://www.e621.net/post/show/67173</ref>.

theBunnyMan is a professional Solaris and Linux server administrator of eight years and he attributes this to why he is not interested in computers as a hobby, he claims this is why he now only owns a Macintosh laptop and iPad, so he has to do as little work to his computers as possible. His hobbies include DJing at industrial nightclubs and other parties in Las Vegas<ref>http://community.livejournal.com/lasvegas/1389726.html</ref><ref>http://www.myspace.com/djepicmegafail</ref>, photography, building electronic kits, video games, and socializing. He also occasionally composes and produces [[Wikipedia:Dark Wave|DarkWave]] and [[Wikipedia:Industrial music|Industrial music]] under the alias ''Bleeding Machine''<ref>http://www.myspace.com/bleedingmachine/</ref>. This project has supposedly been resurrected but only one new half completed song and a few remixes of old songs have resurfaced on the "Bleeding Machine" web site.

He is currently a regular on the [[Rabbit_Valley]] podcast "Live From the Hop Inn"

== Furry timeline ==

=== Early years ===
theBunnyMan discovered the [[furry fandom]] around 1996 when he was in his sophomore year of high school. He was introduced to online comics like [[Sabrina Online]] and also furry stories and art by his friend [[Luxemburg the Skunk]]. He quickly tried to become a fan, having felt he had found a nitch that felt like him. He began to socialize and interact with others claiming to be a black and gray Cheshire cat, although he had not taken the name Xanaphia, being only known by his current online handle 'Pyro-oryP'.
[[Image:Xanaphiaconbadge.JPG|right|thumb|97px|theBunnyMan's first [[con badge]], art by [[Inali Ke'aloha]].]]
He became more and more involved in the furry community around 1998 when he found [[YiffNet]] and [[Tapestries]]. It was also at this time when he chose the name Xanaphia. During his online start, like most first, he ended up spending most of his time in adult based channels. He also learned of a local furry group headed by two furs named [[Hyper]] and [[Burmese]]. He attended the meeting for a span of about 6 months before the group disbanded due to [[drama]]. He remained active personally and online until 2002 when personal issues and a pressing career drove him into hiding.

=== Rebirth and rejoining the furry community ===
In 2005 he began to seek out other furries actively online and in person once again after experiencing a 'prophetic dream'. At this time he shed the image of a Cheshire cat and following the dream embraced his lapine side, now portraying himself as often as possible as a white rabbit. He has embraced his "furriness" to the point where he can very often be seen introducing himself as a rabbit, wearing ears & tail and squeaking in social situations where it is not expected or normal/acceptable.
[[Image:CheckupADVERT.png.jpg|right|thumb|97px|Xanaphia in a promo poster for a role play clinic. Art by [[Farore Nightclaw]].]]

=== Building a community ===
After this reemergence he began frequenting [[FurNet (IRC)|FurNet]] again where he can still be found in channels #[[bunnypad]], #StRitas-Clinic and #artcommisions. He began commissioning artist and displays digital copies of them on his personal gallery and his [[Fur Affinity]] account. On July 27th, 2006 he created [[Vegas Furs]] to help bring together as many local furries as possible. Around the same time he also helped start another local social group called the All Kindred Society of Las Vegas. He also attended [[Further Confusion 2007]] with a group of furs from Sacramento, CA and Reno, NV.

=== Change of name ===
Soon after all of the problems with VegasFurs were resolved and calmed down theBunnyMan quickly began to move away from his commonly known name of Xanaphia. His livejournal has been removed, [[VegasFurs]] forum name and several of his email addresses have been changed. He has not resolved to a name, going under many things like TheBunnyMachine, theBunnyMan, DJ Epic MegafaiL, lvwhiterabbit and his known name Jonny D.
[[Image:DC_Awesome_Potato.png|right|thumb|97px|fursona updated to match real features. Art by [[Destructive Chaos]].]]

=== Leaving a community ===
In late 2007 theBunnyMan relinquished administrative duties of the Vegas Furs due to community and interpersonal problems after bannings and another administrator was forced to step down by him. He still retains administrative control of the site due to ownership of database, domain and system but only handles technical issues with it. Over the next three years while he was supposed to be only a technical contact he still stepped in and dealt with many interpersonal issues due to being the only full time mod. In December 2010 after the Las Vegas Community split in to several different forums and groups theBunnyMan completely sold and turned over the community (software, database, & domain) to CyborgCoyote. Two months later all moderator privileges and access has been removed from his account.

=== Currently ===
As of 2009-2010 theBunnyMan has spent a lot less time actively in the furry community as a whole. He attends very few local furry meets after being removed from control of VegasFurs . He attended Further Confusion 2010 but spent most of the time with his current friends. He is frequently a part of the [[Rabbit Valley]] podcast "Live from the Hop Inn"<ref>http://fox.rabbitvalley.com/podcast</ref> where he brings his silly but oft offensive brand of humor and is partially responsible for the proclaimed "Worst Podcast Ever"<ref>http://fox.rabbitvalley.com/podcast/Rabbit_Valley_PodCast/Rabbit_Valley_Comics_Podcast/Entries/2010/3/11_Live_from_the_Hop_Inn_121.html</ref>.
He still gets commissions and trades services for art of his "fursona" which he tries to keep constantly update so that it looks like an anthropomorphic version of his real self in style, features, and personality.

TheBunnyMan: Replying to question

"He also learned of a local furry group headed by two furs named Hyper and Burmese." But Hyper page is a disambiguation page, which Hyper would that be? --[[User:EarthFurst|EarthFurst]] 06:22, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
* I checked but the HyperFox listed wasn't the same fox. I could not find his page, it is honestly hard to search for a fox named hyper. --[[User:TheBunnyMan|TheBunnyMan]] 02:53, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

Vegas Furs

2010-04-04T23:11:23Z

TheBunnyMan: Updated inforamtion on the site, user count, rules, BlackJack, added reference

The '''Vegas Furs''' is an active [[furry]] social group for [[Wikipedia:Las Vegas|Las Vegas]] and the surrounding areas.

Founded by [[theBunnyMan]] on July 27th, 2006, the site is aimed at bringing back together the furry community of Las Vegas and the surrounding cities. The community itself contains many active members in the forums and continues to grow quickly, gaining 15 members between the end of [[Further Confusion 2007]] and March 14th, 2007.

It has 112 recorded members as of April 4th, 2010.

The Vegas Furs is one of two geographically significant furry groups in the state of Nevada. The other group is Northern-Nevada based [[RenoFurs]].

== Events ==
Vegas Furs holds an official open meeting the first Saturday of the month.

Attendance usually ranges from 15 to 30 furs depending on availability and the event.

The location and activities of these open meetings are usually chosen by a casual vote on the forum.
The most common activities are:
* Visiting the local Pinball Museum.
*[[Wikipedia:Apples to Apples|Apples to Apples]] at IHOP
* Pizza social at an arcade
* Meets and BBQ at Sunset Park

There are also art jams, house meet-ups and many other events that can be set up by any member at any time at their discretion.

== VegasFurs.org ==
The Vegas Furs website hosts many features for helping Southern Nevada furs get together. It hosts the main forums, event calendar, a Google map of its members and hangouts, a chat with webcams and a gallery. The site now also has monthly banners, contributed by the users.

VegasFurs has a strict family friendly policy as listed in the rules and because of it disallows adult content, excessive profanity and even the discussion of fetishes. For a long period of time there were extensive wordfilters blocking all profanity, sexual words and even lolspeak. These two things have been a point of controversy repeatedly on the site and after the forum software was changed out in late 2009 the wordfilters were never added back in.

In January 2010, due to repeated requests a special section of sub-forums were added called VF:BlackJack. It is a subgroup of the main forum that is opt-in and has an age limit of 21+ but is not heavily moderated and allows adult content and images to be posted but has it's own set of rules. It too has been a source of controversy<ref>http://www.vegasfurs.org/topic/242-blackjack-wait-blackjack-what-is-blackjack/</ref>.

This is a commission of theBunnyMan's fursona done in 2009.
While the style is cartoony it shows how theBunnyMan likes to constantly update details about his character so that it looks like an anthropomorphic version of his real self. In this picture he's lost weight, his hair is cut short and isn't dyed anymore and he is new wearing a headband he frequently uses to keep his ears on at nightclubs as well as one of his most frequent outfits, jeans with a button up.

== Furry Timeline ==

==== Early years ====
theBunnyMan discovered the [[furry fandom]] around 1996 when he was in his sophomore year of high school. He was introduced to online comics like [[Sabrina Online]] and also furry stories and art by his friend [[Luxemburg the Skunk]]. He quickly tried to become a fan, having felt he had found a nitch that felt like him. He began to socialize and interact with others claiming to be a black and gray Cheshire cat, although he had not taken the name Xanaphia, being only known by his current online handle 'Pyro-oryP'.
[[Image:Xanaphiaconbadge.JPG|right|thumb|97px|theBunnyMan's first con badge]]
He became more and more involved in the furry community around 1998 when he found [[YiffNet]] and [[Tapestries]]. It was also at this time when he chose the name Xanaphia. During his online start, like most first, he ended up spending most of his time in adult based channels. He also learned of a local furry group headed by two furs named [[Hyper]] and [[Burmese]]. He attended the meeting for a span of about 6 months before the group disbanded due to [[drama]]. He remained active personally and online until 2002 when personal issues and a pressing career drove him into hiding.

==== Rebirth and rejoining the furry community ====
In 2005 he began to seek out other furries actively online and in person once again after experiencing a 'prophetic dream'. At this time he shed the image of a Cheshire cat and following the dream embraced his lapine side, now portraying himself as often as possible as a white rabbit. He has embraced his "furriness" to the point where he can very often be seen introducing himself as a rabbit, wearing ears & tail and squeaking in social situations where it is not expected or normal/acceptable.

==== Building a community ====
After this reemergence he began frequenting [[FurNet (IRC)|FurNet]] again where he can still be found in channels #bunnypad, #StRitas-Clinic and #artcommisions. He began commissioning artist and displays digital copies of them on his personal gallery and his [[Fur Affinity]] account. On July 27th, 2006 he created [[VegasFurs|Vegas Furs]] to help bring together as many local furries as possible. Around the same time he also helped start another local social group called the All Kindred Society of Las Vegas. He also attended [[Further Confusion 2007]] with a group of furs from Sacramento, CA and Reno, NV.
In late 2007 theBunnyMan relinquished administrative duties of the [[VegasFurs|Vegas Furs]] due to community and interpersonal problems after bannings and another administrator was forced to step down by him. He still retains administrative control of the site due to ownership of database, domain and system but only handles technical issues with it.

==== Change of Name ====
Soon after all of the problems with VegasFurs were resolved and calmed down theBunnyMan quickly began to move away from his commonly known name of Xanaphia. His livejournal has been removed, [[VegasFurs]] forum name and several of his email addresses have been changed. He has not resolved to a name, going under many things like TheBunnyMachine, theBunnyMan, DJ Epic MegafaiL, lvwhiterabbit and his known name Jonny D.

==== Currently ====
As of 2009-2010 theBunnyMan has spent a lot less time actively in the furry community as a whole. He attends few local furry meets but still manages the [[VegasFurs|Vegas Furs]] forum. He attended Further Confusion 2010 but spent most of the time with his current friends. He is frequently a part of the [[Rabbit_Valley|Rabbit Valley]] podcast "Live from the Hop Inn"<ref>http://fox.rabbitvalley.com/podcast</ref> where he brings his silly but oft offensive brand of humor and is partially responsible for the proclaimed "Worst Podcast Ever"<ref>http://fox.rabbitvalley.com/podcast/Rabbit_Valley_PodCast/Rabbit_Valley_Comics_Podcast/Entries/2010/3/11_Live_from_the_Hop_Inn_121.html</ref>.

'''Jonny D. Narya''' a.k.a "theBunnyMan", born August 31st, 1981, is a [[furry]] from Las Vegas, Nevada. He is a white [[rabbit]]. theBunnyMan is pansexual and currently single.

theBunnyMan believes in animal totemism and believes that is what defines him as a furry. theBunnyMan has always felt the link to animals and performs several forms of divination, including tarot. He was a member of All Kindred Society of Las Vegas and the ShadowGate House, but due to conflict of interests he quietly disassociated from both groups at well as otherkin and Wicca as a whole. He currently identifies as a Nihilist but still lives by a strict personal moral code based off the pagan teachings.

theBunnyMan speaks in a very lighthearted and playful tone and is often wearing a huge smile but he often talks in a very jeering manner, both about all his friends and himself which is often misconstrued as him being very rude. He also often can be very offensive since he has very little shame or social taboo's, finding most of them entertaining. This mostly causes problems when he is posting on the internet<ref>http://www.e621.net/post/show/67173</ref>.
