The '''YouTube Furry War''' is a term used to refer to incidents between [[anti-furry]] [[troll]]s against [[furries]] within the video service [[YouTube]] ,which began around summer 2007. The furry war is notable for the mass hacking of numerous [[YouTube]] furry accounts. The incidents were more or localized to the [[Google]] service, with minor notes and news of coming from inside to the rest of the [[fandom]].

=== The ''Ultimatum Declaratum'' ===

Although many theories still circulate as to how the YouTube Furry War had begun, it is widely rumored however to have been started by user [[Soki Twopaw]]{{fact}} who, fed up with the outweighing number of negative and defamatory comments on his videos, promoted the idea of a furry uprising against the YouTube trolls.

This eventually turned into ''Ultimatum Declaratum''<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xeulluj6DxY The ''Ultimatum Declaratum'' video]</ref>, a video created by Soki to express his disdain and solution about the trolls. This was suggested to be the catalyst for the '''YouTube Furry War'''{fact} Initially, many furries{{who}} were in favor of the rebellion.

However, this also drew the attention of many trolls{{who}}, who all immediately lampooned such an idea. As a result, many anti-fur YouTube users (not all were necessarily trolls) started to massively spam furry-related videos whether their authors were involved in the conflict or not.{{fact}}

=== FCTC ===

A group calling themselves the '''FCTC''' (or the ''Fried Chicken Trolling Crew'') appeared soon after the start of the war with the specific purpose of posting inflammatory comments and phishing furry-related YouTube accounts. The most notable of these was in late 2007, where a failed [[wikipedia:phishing|phishing]] attempt was circulated through e-mails and falsified YouTube pages.{{fact}}

This was soon halted after allegedly being reported by various furries; no perpetrators have been caught. The group however managed to hack countless furry-related Youtube accounts.{{fact}}

=== Fall 2007 ===

Between the summer and winter periods of 2007, the war mostly grew into an exchange of videos and comments between various furries and the FCTC with some major events breaking the monotony such as the hacking and vandalism of several YouTube pages, [[MySpace]] accounts, the website of [[Silentwulf]], and a furry invasion of [[7chan]] on September 2nd.{{fact}}

Administrators on the Silentwulf site were able to lock-down the site, and track down those responsible. Little information exists on what transpired.{{fact}}

A video series, titled ''YouTube Furry War'', was started by [[Alexander Grey]] to specifically counter comments left by trolls in a calm and logical manner; by means to contrast to the usually angry and loathing videos left by enraged furs. The series ran for only a few months, to be succeeded by ''[[Alexander Grey#As the Furry Guru|Furry Guru]]''.{{fact}}

=== The end ===

Towards the end of 2007 the war had largely died down for reasons unknown. Other troll accounts had been suspended or deleted by this time. Although many state that the furry war had ended around late December 2007, some claim the war still continues to persist (albeit at a relatively small level), though this is simply the "normal" amount of trolling furries often recieve.

== Skirmishes ==
=== 2010 ===

A group known as the [[New Furry Movement|New Furry Military]] (''N.F.M''), later changed to the '''New Furry Movement''', was established to counter trolling activities directed against furries on YouTube and other sites. However controversial incidences involving the group combined with internal strife ultimately proved to be the NFM's Demise.{{fact}}

In Summer 2010 the Group officially capitulated to its archenemy group, the '''D2FC''' (''Deth2FurfagsCoalition''). The group is currently rebuilding

=== Spring 2011 ===

On the spring of 2011, the [[New Furry Coalition]] (''N.F.C.'') was founded{{fact}} to gather YouTube furries that recieve huge amount of trolling. This group, however, was the reason for the recreation of two formerly trolling groups, the '''AATC''' (''Al-Aqsa Trolling Crew'') and the '''DTFC''' (''DeathToFagsCoalition''),{{fact}} which were trolling and hacking various furry YouTube accounts and the '''POS''' (''Paws of Sanitas''), an anti-[[zoophilia]] furry-related group.{{fact}}

=== Summer 2011 ===

On May 29, 2011, user [[Timothy Michael McHugh]] released [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yZ6Yi8S8ec&feature=channel_video_title a YouTube video] about [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]], requesting other members of the fandom to "tear the site down", personally labeling it a [[Anti-furries|hate]] site against the [[furry fandom]]. This only caused tensions between ED.ch and McHugh and supporters, such as [[Sirius Orionis]], for example<ref>[http://encyclopediadramatica.ch/Sirius_Orionis Sirius Orionis'] article on ED.ch (NSFW/POV)</ref><ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EdqfzHliBw&feature=channel_video_title Sirius Orionis] ED.ch's video article on Sirius Orionis (NSFW/POV)</ref>.
