Not counting the convention staff, 630 furs attended, which required the delivery of over 200 pizzas.[1] In addition to attending membership registration, there were Sponsor, SuperSponsor, and Decade Level Sponsorships. The Decade Level perks included the SuperSponsor privileges and a jacket with artwork by Ursula Husted.
$12,121.02 was raised for Tiger Haven, the convention charity.

Guest of Honor[edit]
The guest of honor for 2006 was Jodi "J3T" Tong, a furry artist who had won the T-shirt front design contest for MFM 7 and MFM 8.
Annual T-shirt design contest[edit]
Evol was the winner of the popular vote for the T-shirt front design.
The winner of the T-shirt back design, selected by convention director Tyger Cowboy, was Bauske.
The winner of the staff T-shirt design was J3T.
Controversy[edit]
- Joseph Wilson (also known as "Canis Claxis", "Lhurtwolf", "Xlac" and "Furries_Ha!") was reportedly banned from future Mephit Furmeets after accosting female furry artist Dustmeat on the hotel's parking lot. The incident was considered serious enough to contact convention security and file a report with the local police. Wilson could not be located afterwards, and no arrest was made.[2]
- A group of church protesters began a small rally against MFM on Sunday afternoon in front of the hotel during the Furry Masquerade. They were quickly chased off by the Memphis police.[citation needed]
