'''VancouFur''' is a furry [[convention]] held annually at the [http://www.executivehotels.net/burnabyhotel/s_bby_home.cgi Executive Suites] in [[wikipedia:Burnaby, British Columbia|Burnaby]], [[wikipedia:British Columbia|British Columbia]].<ref>http://vancoufur.org/ Retrieved August 31, 2011.</ref>. It is the first furry convention to be held on [[wikipedia:Canada|Canada]]'s west coast.

As of 2016, it is now held at the [http://www.executivehotels.net/vancouver-airport-hotel/ Executive Airport Plaza Hotel] in [[wikipedia:Richmond, British Columbia|Richmond]], [[wikipedia:British Columbia|British Columbia]].<ref>http://vancoufur.org/hotel.php Retrieved june 16, 2015.</ref>.

===Community Spotlight===
VancouFur's Community Spotlight, first appearing in 2013, highlights local talent from the British Columbia, Alberta and Northern Washington furry community.

==Howloween==
VancouFur has very close ties to [[Howloween]]. During the initial concept phase of VancouFur 2012, it was decided that Aphinity — organizer of Howloween since 2008 — should be an integral part of bringing a full-fledged convention to Vancouver, and he was named co-chair. The Executive Suites, home of VancouFur, also became home to Howloween in 2011, acting as a sort of dress rehearsal for the convention. Howloween offers pre-registration at the door for the following year's VancouFur.

'''WagzTail''' is the longest-running exclusively family-friendly [[furry]] [[podcast]] serving the [[anthropomorphic]]/furry community.

WagzTail has, over time, been sponsored by various groups and people who believe in providing safe tools and resources.<ref>[http://wagztail.com/about/ About]</ref>

In December 2011, the podcast was the source of a major re-organization and re-branding, called "WagzTail 2.0," but with much of the same participants and staff. During this period, WagzTail moved to a 30-minute broadcast format as well as limiting the number of people who could be present in recordings.

The relaunch retained the primary cast members and saw the addition of two new regulars.

The show has been edited by several people over the years. Initially edited by Jeffery "Wolfin" Core, WagzTail announced in April 2012<ref>http://wagztail.com/2012/04/06/2012-easter-special/</ref> that a new dedicated editor, ''Silent'', would be added to the show to improve the release schedule and to edit a backlog of shows.

Wolfin: /* Communities */

:{{redirect|Christian Furs|the forum|Christian Furs (forum)}}
A '''Christian Fur''' is an individual who identifies as [[Wikipedia:Christian|Christian]] [[furry]], integrating their beliefs rather than keeping their religious affiliation and fandom activity separate.

Animal symbolism is common throughout the religion itself, [[Wikipedia:Jesus Christ|Jesus]] himself being compared in the Bible to both a [[lion]] and a [[sheep|lamb]]. Christian [[furry artist]]s, such as [[XianJaguar]] and [[Holly Ann]], depict images of Jesus as an [[anthropomorphic]] lion. Some Christian furs even refer to this lion form of Jesus as [[Aslan]].

== Communities ==

Christian Fur websites and communities include [[Christian Furry Fellowship]], [[Christian Furs (forum)]], [[Furrs Fur Christ]], [[Rainbow Ark]], [[The Unicorn and Gryphon]] and [[WagzTail]].

'''Furs For Christ''', formerly known as '''Furrs Fur Christ''' (also known as '''FFC'''), is a small community geared for [[Christian furries]] and [[anthropomorphic]] artists.

== History ==
Furrs Fur Christ was created by [[Razi (animator)|Razi]] who hosts the site herself. The forums are also presently moderated by [[Ian the Gecko]], [[Gypsi-Rae Leonine]], and [[Sleet]].

In July 2007, FFC was ranked #3 on Cracked.com's "WTF?!: The 8 Strangest Communities on the Web" list<ref>[http://www.cracked.com/index.php?name=News&sid=2271&pageid=2 Cracked.com's "WTF?!: The 8 Strangest Communities on the Web" list]</ref>, above [[Second Life]] at #5. This prompted a flood of unregistered guests and some new registrations; as a result, the administrators closed off most of the site to non-members and created a membership application to help weed out spammers and trolls<ref>http://www.furrsfurchrist.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2602</ref>. Later that year, [[Something Awful]] featured FFC in its Weekend Web article<ref>[http://www.somethingawful.com/d/weekend-web/furs-bigfoot-multiplicity.php "Furrs for Christ, Multiplicity, and Bigfoot Forums"]</ref>. The article includes screenshots of the site along with sarcastic comments about the contents of the screenshots. This led to another flurry of guests viewing the site, some of whom spammed the membership applications section.

== Activism ==

FFC members as a group attended [[Rocky Mountain Fur Con]] and [[Anthrocon]] 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011. Their activities included Bible studies, a Sunday service, attending panels and sharing their faith with other furries.

== Present Day ==

In October 2011, FFC moved to a new domain, FursForChrist.com, with a new name, forum, and image gallery as well as social networking capabilities. During the move, some of the moderators and leadership were shuffled, with the existing forum remaining open as an archive until present date. The current forum has been plagued with issues during the upgrade due to various technical limitations imposed by the social software. A second move is planned to move to a more stable software<ref>[http://www.fursforchrist.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=60&id=2508&Itemid=0 Downtime in the next few days for site maintenance]</ref>; however, this has been placed on hold indefinitely due to availability issues of admins and the concern that the community may not survive a second move.

FFC's original mandate was a forum where followers of [[Wikipedia:Christ|Christ]] who also appreciate anthropomorphic art can relate to one another and discuss relevant issues. It also houses a small, clean anthropomorphic art gallery which is not limited to “religious” art and welcomes deep, non-Christian, non-anthropomorphic material as well. Since the move to the new domain, users can also create custom profiles and join private discussion groups as an alternative to [[Wikipedia:Facebook|Facebook]] and other furry social networks.

Talk:Furs For Christ

2012-01-27T05:22:00Z

Wolfin: /* Explanation after edit comment */

== Explanation after edit comment ==
Wanted to start of the discussion page here since someone decided to post a direct jibe to me in the edit history. First of all, I do not work for FFC, but I am staff on other Christian communities. We don't see FFC as competition, although we do often question their competency. Let me attempt to clarify the accusations in the edit statement.

: Wolfin, you lie. There's nothing about disallowing a consensus or challenging the moral authority of the forum's leadership. You're the only other furry religious community who's spoken up about it. -- [[User: IantheGecko]]

So, first of all this isn't a lie; and, consensus is almost always disallowed under both the "All views, no matter how contrary to one's own, must be treated with respect." [http://www.fursforchrist.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=60&id=4881&Itemid=0 rule] and the "Be willing to listen with understanding and in the end "agree to disagree."" [http://www.fursforchrist.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=showcat&catid=25&Itemid=0 rules]. I would invite you to show where this has ever allowed a full consensus to be reached. This may not even be a bad thing; but, it is an actual fact. Also; the serious discussion being the most actice forum by far is also factual; and I've added references for both.

As for challenging forum staff, there is "Do not publicly question the competence of our staff, unless in the Bug Reports/Site Suggestions forum. Either use that forum or a private message to a higher-up if you have any concerns with a staff member." also in the forum rules; I've now altered the sentence in question to be clearer and hopefully address this issues. Remember that this /is/ supposed to be a non-biased medium and you cannot just remove factual material because it may cast an unpleasant light; it's important there be balance. Most of the communities I represent don't even have a full article here, so, it's not like I'd want to redirect attention. Hopefully this clarifies the matter. --[[User:Wolfin|Wolfin]] 22:00, 26 January 2012 (EST)

: OK, I'll concede the staff competence point, but the rules say nothing about challenging the mods's moral authority. I quote Sleet: "this does not mean you aren't allowed to disagree with a moderator in a controversial thread. When it comes to that kind of thing, a moderator is no different than any other user. However, if a moderator tells you something as a moderator, failure to comply can result in disciplinary action. This includes but is not limited to being told to calm down, stay on topic, or change offensive information in your profile." Furthermore, you were the only "other ministry" to complain about our site, on the site. Furs of Faith, the U&G Pub, Open Arms, & FurryChristians haven't said anything about it, nor has Oren, so it's a personal issue you have with us. And that too keeps the article from being neutral. [[User:IantheGecko|IantheGecko]] 23:47, 26 January 2012 (EST)
:: I'm just shocked you decided to include two (mostly) dead ministries and open arms in that list... that's pretty pure desperation. I'll leave it be for now and have someone else who can be more assured of impartiality look over it. --[[User:Wolfin|Wolfin]] 00:22, 27 January 2012 (EST)

Later that year, [[Something Awful]] featured FFC in its Weekend Web article<ref>[http://www.somethingawful.com/d/weekend-web/furs-bigfoot-multiplicity.php "Furrs for Christ, Multiplicity, and Bigfoot Forums"]</ref>. The article includes screenshots of the site along with sarcastic comments about the contents of the screenshots. This led to another flurry of guests viewing the site, some of whom spammed the membership applications section.

== Activism ==

FFC members as a group attended [[Rocky Mountain Fur Con]] and [[Anthrocon]] 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011. Their activities included Bible studies, a Sunday service, attending panels and sharing their faith with other furries.

== Present Day ==

In October 2011, FFC moved to a new domain, FursForChrist.com, with a new name, forum, and image gallery as well as social networking capabilities. During the move, some of the moderators and leadership were shuffled, with the existing forum remaining open as an archive until present date. The current forum has been plagued with issues during the upgrade due to various technical limitations imposed by the social software. At one point a second move was planned to move to a more stable software<ref>[http://www.fursforchrist.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=60&id=2508&Itemid=0 Downtime in the next few days for site maintenance]</ref>; however, this was later scrapped due to availability issues of admins and the concern that the community may not survive a second move.

FFC's original mandate was a forum where followers of [[Wikipedia:Christ|Christ]] who also appreciate anthropomorphic art can relate to one another and discuss relevant issues. It also houses a small, clean anthropomorphic art gallery which is not limited to “religious” art and welcomes deep, non-Christian, non-anthropomorphic material as well. Since the move to the new domain, users can also create custom profiles and join private discussion groups as an alternative to [[Wikipedia:Facebook|Facebook]] and other furry social networks.

Furs For Christ's most active forum is their '''serious discussion''' sub-forum<ref>[http://www.fursforchrist.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&view=listcat&catid=0&Itemid=237 Forums listing]</ref>, where furs of varying opinions may engage in differing viewpoints on specific topics. This sub-forum includes rules that disallow forming a consensus that would potentially anger members, requiring members to agree to disagree on diving issues<ref>[http://www.fursforchrist.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=showcat&catid=25&Itemid=0 Serious Discussion Forum Guidelines]</ref>. Despite this high focus on opinions and topical conflicts, the forum staff strictly forbid any member from challenging the abilities or moral authority of the forum or its leadership in the primary sub-forums<ref>[http://www.fursforchrist.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=60&id=4881&Itemid=0 Forum rules]</ref>. These combined attitudes have caused other ministries to raise doubts of the competence of FFC's staff<ref>[http://www.fursforchrist.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=61&id=2784&Itemid=0 The Seven Issues]</ref>.

'''Christian Furs''', aka '''CF''' or '''CF.net''', is a newer forum and multimedia gallery aimed towards [[Christian furries]]<ref>[http://christianfurs.net/showthread.php?tid=47 http://christianfurs.net/showthread.php?tid=47]</ref>.

==History==
What may seem like a clone of [[Furrs Fur Christ]] was actually thought up before the administrator, [[Flechmen]], even knew about FFC. An offer on [http://mybboard.net MyBB Community Forums] along with unease of more traditional furry sites gave Flechmen the idea to create the forums. Although the offer on the MyBB Community Forums did not come through, a few responses to a thread on [[Fur Affinity]] drove him to make the forums anyway. The forums were first officially opened December 2, 2008; however the forums were first up and running by November 19. The opening was delayed so a proper domain name could be purchased.
Web hosts came and went, Flechmen worked for most of them as part of the support team. The forum and all of its daughter sites (galleries, wiki...) are run on a dedicated server donated by [[Wolfin]].

==What makes CF Different?==
The administrator claims that the major difference between CF and other Christian furry forums is the combination of forums and multimedia galleries (that are separate from the forums), as well as the use of "more user friendly" software.
The forums, although aimed at Christians, are open to anyone who wants to come. The Christian parts of the forums are hidden to most, even regular members. When someone registers, they are sent a small, opinion based questionnaire via private message. Upon return of this message, a regular member is given full access. This is to help control trolling and flaming.
The administrator of CF also posts a prayer each day in a forum that is visible to all members. A daily devotional is also posted each day automatically.

==Game server==

Christian Furs has a Minecraft beta server at minecraft.christianfurs.net.
