...Seriously? I could barely read that. This is not the first time you've been asked to type like an intelligent human being. I don't mean to sound rude but it's the first thing that's written in the rules thread. It would be a lot easier for us all to read your posts.

that was ohnestly an accident i swear to god i didn't mean to
the reason it looks worse tan normal is because my keyboared is alittle screwed up so it doesn't always register every key hit... thing

We really don't need to be discussing that. Read my first post, please.

Dunno if I posted about this already, but I'm not a furry and don't really have much interest in joining that community. Don't have anything against furry-fandom-weirdos though, whatever makes you happy is cool...

Net-furry: Furry but only confined to the digital cyberspace.

IRL: Still likes animals more than humans, though relatively on the same level.

Careful guise. I don't want this pretty interesting thread to vanish.

I think is pretty much assumed you at least don't hate furries if you join this forum.

Post by **Sleet** » Tue Oct 05, 2010 5:23 pm

Hah, definitely.

Unless you're a troll, but thankfully we haven't had those yet.

Do you really think I troll would be able to figure out the name of Tiger's stuffed bear?

But yeah, there are alot of furries here.

You don't go to the IRC much do you?

Post by **Sleet** » Tue Oct 05, 2010 5:46 pm

Actually, no. And when I was on there, there were no trolls. Hopefully it's not too common of an occurrence?

I completely forgot about that. When I registered, I just figured it was a more creative take on CAPTCHA. I never even thought of it as an anti-troll measure. It's brilliant!

Aquablast · Post by **Aquablast** » Wed Oct 06, 2010 3:04 am

Fun fact: I never had any real contact with furries until I joined this community.

I really like most furries on this forum though!

But some of the questions are really easy. Like the one about the color of Peanut's collar, it's like a Perception challenge with a DC of 5!

No, no I am not a furry.

mainly because, well, I read this comic, aaannd, hang out with you guys. that's it.

also because I'm still weirded out when someone does the anthropomorphic "I'm a badger!" thing. no offense meant though!

Post by **Sleet** » Wed Oct 06, 2010 9:31 am

YOU'RE JUST DISCRIMINATING AGAINST MY SPIRITUAL BADGER WITHIN. FURSECUTION.

I'm really glad to hear we gave a good first impression.

Yeah, but even that gets in the way when trolls try to "raid" a forum. Most of them would probably just follow a link to the forum and not even know that Peanut is the brown one on the banner.

It's actually mostly to halt spambots, since those can't answer specialized knowledge questions even if it's incredibly simple.

like more human like but with animal features.

Okay, I'm imagining you're an eagle right now. Which of course, only people who know what an alot is would understand. I'm also putting my own explanation here because you ever so luckily hit on one of my pet peeves and I need to remedy that.

kemonomimi = beast ears (kemono + mimi)
neko = cat
inumimi = dog ears (inu + mimi)
usagi = rabbit
okami = wolf
kitsume = not a word (fox = kitsune)

kemenomimi is a basically catch-all term for the moe anthropomorphization of animals. cat-people, dog-people, and so on. This is distinct to a zoomorphized person which is more along the lines of what the furry fandom mostly features.

So, we've got a website composed of 75% furries, and 25% who are slowly moving toward the membership booth.
What an amazing website.

Post by **Sleet** » Sun Oct 10, 2010 11:07 pm

You'll scare that 25% off with talk like that. :3

Psykeout · Post by **Psykeout** » Sun Oct 10, 2010 11:16 pm

yes. its are being furry that will scare them away, not our psychoticness.

Post by **Sleet** » Sun Oct 10, 2010 11:18 pm

Not us being furry, just the paranoia that we're trying to turn them.

Come now Sleet. You can't seriously tell me that being hugged by a big happy furry will scare people away. Trust me, they will soon learn that fuzzy hugs aren't that bad.

Post by **Sleet** » Sun Oct 10, 2010 11:23 pm

I'm pretty sure it would do just that.

Though I suppose if you join a forum like this one, you kind of have to expect it.

Psykeout · Post by **Psykeout** » Sun Oct 10, 2010 11:52 pm

ill take this opportunity to say i dont like to be hugged, and nobody better try to hug, glomp, or cuddle me.

Senator_Sunburst · Post by **Senator_Sunburst** » Sun Oct 10, 2010 11:55 pm

I share that sentiment. I'm not a fan of physical contact in general, with anybody.

I got over that a long time ago.

Psykeout · Post by **Psykeout** » Mon Oct 11, 2010 12:04 am

regarding hugging, i limit it to family, close friends, and significant others.

regarding furryness, join uuuuuuusssss, join uuuuussssssssss...

Post by **Dissension** » Mon Oct 11, 2010 12:32 am

Offhand, I can't think of another majority-furry site where the non-furs appear as comfortable and active as the ones here. = P Maybe we just have a higher-quality membership?

Post by **Sleet** » Mon Oct 11, 2010 12:33 am

Or maybe a lot of the creepy things that tend to happen when furries are around are against the rules here.

Post by **Dissension** » Mon Oct 11, 2010 12:35 am

Or that. Thanks for ruining my attempt to praise the furs and non-furs alike. x3

Post by **Sleet** » Mon Oct 11, 2010 12:36 am

Of course your hypothesis is probably true too. But I'm pretty sure so is mine.

Blue Braixen · Post by **Blue Braixen** » Mon Oct 11, 2010 12:40 am

No! Now it's 74 to 26! we lost ground!

Post by **Sleet** » Mon Oct 11, 2010 12:41 am

I'm pretty sure it used to be 105 to 35. It looks like someone changed their mind.

I meant percentage-wise.

Post by **Sleet** » Mon Oct 11, 2010 12:52 am

I knew. The furry percentage went down without there actually being more than 140 votes, so someone had to have switched.

Post by **Dissension** » Mon Oct 11, 2010 12:56 am

I switched and confirmed this, then switched back.

Indecisive within the automobile, aren't they?

Post by **Sleet** » Mon Oct 11, 2010 12:59 am

Honestly I don't see how someone can stop being a furry, but hey, if they think that's the case, fine with me.

I mean it's perfectly reasonable for someone to think "oh, that's all a furry is? I guess that would include me then" and decide they are a furry, but I can't really think of a scenario where someone would think "oh wait, actually I don't like cartoon animals." I dunno. Maybe I'm not thinking of all the possibilities.

Well? Are you a furry?
