I was thinking of trying G-mod but I don't have the slightest idea of how to use it...but I've seen some good stuff made with it.

There is also people who make furry models in Second life but that's not really what Im going for...

Does anyone know a good program that I can use?

I posted a little challenge on fchan a while ago, sadly my comment was accidentally deleted. I was wondering if anybody knew who the artist of the response I got might be.

The response I got back: (NSFW) http://fchan.us/src/m_1371701540132_immediatecum.jpg

I have a server I set up a while ago for the UKFur forum, but I never really got much of a response. I'm desperately looking for players :)

The server is totally vanilla, no plugins or anything (but there is an hourly backup)

Rules are fairly lax, pretty much no hate speak and no greifing.

I do host the server myself, and I'm in the UK so for you non-UK furs it might be a tiny bit laggy, but you're still welcome to come on and try the server!

If you do want to play, just send me a message with your Minecraft Username and I'll whitelist you and give you the server address!

Thanks!

I'm really interested in creating a fursona for myself, but I'm not very good at drawing. Does anyone know a furry creator game or a Deviant Artist who takes requests?

Hi

Recently I have been questioning many very deep concerns in my life (as a highschooler) and was wondering, How did you accept yourself as a furry?

Right now I feel conflicted as to if i should categorize myself as one or not.

I've not really made that many major decisions in my life but this question has troubled my immensely for the past while. I know this may not be the best place to post it but its the only place I can think of.

Thank you for just reading this and more Thanks if you reply (sorry one of first posts on Reddit)

Hello! A close friend of mine has started selling handmade tails figured you might be interested in! She is selling them at http://www.etsy.com/shop/GetFursonal And it would mean the world to her if she could get some exposure and sales.

If this is against the subreddits rules i'm sorry just let me know.

OK. I recently purchased a tail at AC (my first) and I am having a little bit of a conundrum. Where the heck do I store the thing. Idealy I would like to hang it up in my closet so it doesn't get matted or anything, but I am trying to find out how others store theirs so they don't get damaged.

By Jessica Contrera / Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

After eight years of grabbing the attention of Pittsburgh, it was time for the "furries" of Anthrocon to make Guinness World Records take notice.

A turnout of 1,162 people dressed head-to-toe in animal costumes walked, danced and cartwheeled Saturday through the halls of the David L. Lawrence Convention Center to set a record for the world's largest parade of people in fur suits.

Although there is currently no official record set for fur suit parades, Anthrocon was successfully surpassed its 2012 record of 1,045 paraders. Now, if all goes to plan, the furries will be officially recognized by Guinness.

"This is the biggest furry gathering in the word," said Paul Thompson, a doctoral student from Kentucky. "There's no way we didn't get the record."

Anthrocon is a convention for people interested in anthropomorphism, the practice of making non-human creatures, especially animals, seem human-like. Although the furries are best known for their full-on costumes, fur suits are only a part of their culture.

Most dedicated furries have a specific character, complete with a backstory and personality, that they choose to identify with. Their costumes are rarely basic animals; there are rabbits in leather motorcycle suits, tigers dressed like samurai and foxes who belly-dance, to name a few. The characters can be played out through drawing, computer games, virtual worlds on the Internet, costumes or simple imagination.

"It's identifying yourself as who you really feel you are," Kaitlynn Jordan, 15, of Freedom said.

Kaitlynn, who was dressed as a polar bear, attended Anthrocon with her mother, Shelia Jordan, who donned a zebra costume for the day. After telling Kaitlynn that they were going to a soup kitchen for the day, Ms. Jordan surprised her daughter by taking her to the costume store and then the convention.

It was a sign of support for Kaitlynn's interest in the furry world, which started when she was 8 years old. Her "true character" is a blue cat named Kiachi, but she does not yet own a cat fur suit.

"When I was younger, I was bullied a lot and I needed a way to be myself without being harassed for it," Kaitlynn said. "So instead of being myself online as a faceless person, I created my character. Now I don't have to be scared to be myself."

Stories like Kaitlynn's are common among furries, but Anthrocon executive director Samuel Conway said the interest in human-like animals is different for everyone.

"The idea of animals that walk and talk, this isn't something new," Mr. Conway said. "We didn't invent it, we just happen to like it."

By "we," Mr. Conway doesn't just mean Anthrocon's nearly 5,500 attendees. Furries are truly an international phenomenon. In 2012, there were more than 40 furry conventions on six continents, with names like Furtastic (Denmark), Camp Wildpaw (Australia) and FuRio (Brazil).

But no city receives the economic impact of the furries quite like Pittsburgh. This year alone, Anthrocon's guests are expected to generate $6.2 million in direct spending. More than $758,000 was spent on hotels alone, according to VisitPittsburgh. Anthrocon will also be making a donation to Equine Angels Rescue in Cabot.

And soon, the convention may give Pittsburgh the claim to fame as official home of the world's largest fur suit parade.

It's that time again: Like the swallows to San Juan Capistrano, except more elaborately attired, The Furries are coming back to Pittsburgh for Anthrocon 2013. And just when you thought Pittsburghers might be getting a little jaded about the sight of people walking Downtown streets in fursuits ... the Furries are kicking it up a notch. This year, they hope to make the Guinness Book of World Records by staging the "World's Largest Fursuit Parade."

The furries' bid for immortality will take place Saturday afternoon at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center, which is hosting Anthrocon July 4-7. (The theme of the 2013 Convention? "The Fast and the Furrious.") The parade is open to convention attendees only -- so please don't dust off that old gorilla suit and expect to become part of history. (At least not at this particular event.) The march will take place entirely indoors.

"It gets really hot in the suits," explains Karl Jorgensen, an Anthrocon spokesman. "You don't want to make people walk for miles outdoors." Especially not in July.

And especially not given the rigorous standards for being counted in the record books. According to the rules for participation, joining in the parade requires "at minimum, a headpiece, hand-paws, foot-paws and a tail (if applicable by species); if using latex and makeup, it must completely cover exposed surfaces. Skin must not be visible when the costume is worn."

And although Anthrocon organizers expect some 5,500 attendees at this year's convention, most members of the "furry fandom" do not wear full fursuits. (As a press release from our local tourism bureau helpfully explains, "The Anthrocon convention attracts artists, animators, costumers, puppeteers and just everyday fans who enjoy cartoon animals.") The parade itself is expected to draw about 1,100 fur-suited participants -- about the same number a similar event drew last year. This time, though, Jorgensen expects Guinness officials to be on hand, counting heads (and presumably other species-applicable appendages).

Which raises the question: What is the current record for "largest fursuit parade"?

"I don't think there is a record currently" Jorgensen says. However, he says, the 2007 Anthrocon -- also held in Pittsburgh -- did warrant a mention in the Guinness book for "largest furry fan club."

I should certainly hope so!
