Historical debates
Does the "Cartoon Law" really affect furries?
Posted by The Chained Wolf on Wed 7 Apr 2010 - 03:51Today FurteanTimes.com reported that a new law just pasted by the British government will make paedophilic depictions of furry pornographic illegal. But does it really do this?
The law in question is the Coroners and Justice Act 2009 and the bit covering this new law is Sections 62 to 68. Now, it has been reported by some sources, such as The Register and FurteanTimes.com that this law will ban depictions of under-age children and people, which will be a worry to some anime/manga fans.
However, what is actually meant be "people" and "children"?
Second-hand fursuit sold for $7000
Posted by GreenReaper on Wed 15 Sep 2010 - 06:07
If you thought $1600 for an inflatable husky was excessive, consider this pre-owned MixedCandy German Shepherd, auctioned last week for $7000. [tip: sardognsca/fursuitlounge]
The suit was the subject of a five-way bidding war throughout Saturday before the winner swept in with their last-minute bid.
MixedCandy is well-known for expensive wolves and canines, but this price is more commonly associated with a new custom suit — or rather, two of them.

Posted by Anon on Mon 12 Mar 2001 - 22:12Campus Newspaper Article on Furries at Texas A&M
Posted by Procyon on Sat 26 Mar 2005 - 05:51A fairly negative piece that describes furry as a "fetish" and focuses on one particular (fairly extreme) individual and his difficulties with others on campus. Contains interviews with 'experts' who call furry an "alternative way to manifest... sexual preference" and an "attention-grabbing mechanism". Published Thursday in "The Battallion".

Cat cloned at Texas A&M
Posted by mwalimu on Thu 14 Feb 2002 - 16:14This article from CNN documents the birth of the first cloned cat, adding that species to the list of animals that have previously been cloned successfully, which includes sheep, mice, and cattle.
It mentions the possibility of pet owners someday being able to clone beloved pets. If you found the pet with the perfect personality, would you want to produce a younger genetic twin of it every few years?
Flayrah.com Major Upgrade
Posted by Aureth on Sun 20 Jan 2002 - 00:09I have been threatening this for some time, and I finally did it. Flayrah.com is now running on PostNuke version .0.7. This is a fork of the previous software package we have been using, and there is quite a bit of difference, though a lot of it is not immediately obvious. You'll probably notice the slightly different look, and that the story editors are no longer attributed in story postings--we're still here, and all the stories submitted still have to go through us before they make it to the front page.
There are still quite a few rough edges left to be polished, but as I won't be able to work on them until Monday night, I felt it was important to get this out the door for some user testing. The site will be in flux for probably the next week. Please post any problems you find in the comments section. I'll have a couple more things to point out on Monday!
