A couple friends of mine from the KYFurs group linked me to this site... it's just started (Alpha release, apparently. @.@)
Anyway, it acts as a sort of Friendster-like service, only it's focused purely on furries. I hopped on, figured I'd get an idea if anyone else was interested (Hey, it'd be cool to get a DMFA group going there. :D)
My name on there is (surprise surprise) JousterL. XD
I'm on there myself. I've tried stuff like Tribe, Friendster, etc. but never had much luck. This place seems pretty friendly though. :)
And while I'm at it... *pounces JousterL when he isn't looking* :3
We will now return you to your regularly scheduled thread. :mowmeep
I'd take a look but I wouldn't know where to begin searching, could you provide a link? If you already have and I've missed it, I apologize for being dense.
I'm curious, anyway.
Gotta catch'em all! :B
Now I just need a MySpace... but Kasarn is already taken :<
D: I just noticed there was no linkie. So here ya go: http://www.furiends.com
I'm slightly confused, but yeah...
http://www.furiends.com/profiles/100577/
Mine is here - http://www.furiends.com/profiles/100573/
Dunno what I'm gonna do with it D:
Since peoples are posting profile links, I will as well: http://www.furiends.com/profiles/100565/
there's me!
http://www.furiends.com/profiles/100580/?section=personal
please add me to your friends :3 ...despise i think i will hardly get there again! :p
an orkut for furries? sounds interesting
http://www.furiends.com/profiles/100581/
interesting...
Sounds fun. ^^ *skips on over*
Whoops, sorry. XD
Forgot to link
Here's mine (http://www.furiends.com/profiles/100548)
Hey ... not all of you bothered to write in your little overview boxes, I feel conned!
Okay, so I went, I wrote, I didn't kick any arse but I'll likely be responsible for a few aneurysms. It's more babblesome than I usually am, in fact, I wouldn't be surprised if most don't make it past the second line of my overview box without becoming bored or having their heads exploded. I honestly wouldn't blame anyone either way.
I tried to cover a little of everything, which I probably shouldn't have. I don't actually know what to do with those little text boxes on these kinds of sites. They daze and confuse me! That much will be evident from reading most of my profile. Oh yes, it really will.

'So, is it a toaster or a communications device?' one might ask, to which Rowne would promptly throw up his arms and exuberantly reply, "YES!"
That is going to have a home, forever, in the little place in my brain where I file things away. It is never to be forgotten! Strange, disconnected allusions that very few will understand are to be made! *punches the sky with fist*
Quote from: BillBucknerI hate ending sentences with URLs, since you can't put a period after the URL name.
Indeed.

That description sums up my primary character rather well. I'm most certainly a fixer, not a fighter. Which might explain the strange attraction I have to resource gathering and building in games. I still spend most of my time in Trickster, merrily drilling away.
That said, have you finished yours Hilary? I'd love to read it.

Anyway, it's probably not going to be interesting or clever or anything like that, mostly long-winded as my happy little character's history is quite long and boring. But I'll post a link all the same... if these stupid people ever respond.
I suppose it is alpha testing, after all. *cuts them a little slack*

When I play video games with my friends (as I lack any p34rsome playstation-type thingies) I ignore the rules and make my character do amusing things. (Does this say something about my character? Perhaps.) *is lost in fond recollection*
The Elvis impersonations in Soul Caliber III... those were the days. Actually, that was last month. So I guess those are still being 'the days.' Hmmm.

It can also group people geographically. For instance it tells me that Rowne is actually in the same valley as I am.
Not that it does me much good since I'd be far too scared to actually meet anyone...
**EDIT**
Ah, not quite - it's the other side of Mynydd Maen. Still closer than I'd expected.

Hey, that's really cool! I think it'd be neat if you did. But then, it's not me having to do the meeting. ^^
*snickers* Ya should go with it, Tapewolf. :3
Anyway, in regards to my intentions to this thread, it was more for ensnaring more DMFA fans. >3
That, and it would be cool to get a nice large group going and see how far the web of networking actually extends for people. :)
Here are two maps of DMFA-ers that I know of: Frappr (http://www.frappr.com/dmfareaders) and Mapservices. (http://mapservices.locaweb.com.br/showguestmap.do?id=Poofyspikes) Discussion in this thread (http://clockworkmansion.com/forum/index.php?topic=551.0). :mowsmile
I'll say one thing that Furiends has done, it's gotten people talking and I have much, much to reply to.
The mail: That's a bit depressing that they still have bugs like that in the system but it can be forgiven since it is just alpha but what they should do is allow people to delete accounts that are being processed if they supply the correct information so that folks can try reprocessing themselves.
Hillary: I share your disregard for rules. Back when I actually found some fun in World of Warcraft, I was one of the earliest wall-walkers, I spent my time exploring regions the devs had thought locked off and I found some bloody strange stuff. In Everquest II I went seeking holes in the World and so on. It's always so much more fun to find out what the game wasn't designed to do rather than play it by the rules it was designed for.
Actually, Tapewolf does this too. You should read his write up on Ultima V: Lazarus, it's one of the bloody funniest things I've ever read.
Jesus smash unruly Codex of Wisdom!
Tape: This is true for both you and I. I'm very shy outside of the internet, I'm a mousy little omega of a Wolf and the last person to try to catch me on camera e'en was chased around with a beanbag.
I'm not sure how I'd do either but I'm quite happy with the thought that there's such a talented musician and generally amusing person living moderately close by.
JousterL: You will not give people the idea of meeting me! I will flee to France! <.<
Nowait, France can be as authoritarian as Britain. So if I'm going to flee, I'm not going to flee there.
...
I will flee to Sweden! Probably.
Anyway, I'm actually torn about meeting people, whilst on one level it would be fascinating to know someone who perhaps wouldn't be absolutely terrified of my eccentricities, on the other hand I'm filled with fear over the fact that someone I like might be scared off by my eccentricities.

Oh and I forgot to mention, my profile now has a shot of Ochi, my little Samoyed friend in it. Be careful though, you might drown in the cute!

Oh, I have...
Wait until night, when the sheep are in their pen and open the gate. This has an interesting effect, in that all the sheep will try to escape. Closing the gate is not sufficient to halt this exodus - they will in fact schlupp through it using osmosis.That's some good stuff. XD
QuoteI'm a mousy little omega of a Wolf and the last person to try to catch me on camera e'en was chased around with a beanbag.
The last person to manage a picture of me subsequently got pizza dumped in his lap. (http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y230/hilaryous14/pizza.jpg) The fool should have known better than to come between me and the
kill cafeteria food.
QuoteI will flee to Sweden! Probably.
I have a friend in Sweden you can crash with.
Well, alright, he lives in America. But he's still Swedish!
Well, okay, on his
mom's side.
He goes by the name 'Swede,' though, that counts for something.
QuoteOh and I forgot to mention, my profile now has a shot of Ochi, my little Samoyed friend in it. Be careful though, you might drown in the cute!
*gives doggy-cuddles* :cvheart
The osmosis sheep never cease to amuse me, that and the fact that he assumes so many roles. He's even Captain Nemo at one point with mystical underwater breathing apparatus.
Tape is an impressive sort when it comes to finding breaks in games and I admire his ability to do so greatly, that and his humour.
He needs to do more of that!
As for cameras ... I just flee, I don't know what it is. I have this morbid fear that I'll be judged by how I look rather than who I am when it comes to life outside the internet and I look like a burnt out hippie/metal fan. Which is probably why I spend most of my time hidden behind a jacket and a hat. Preferrably a fedora.
Though whenever I speak of that, I get Spy versus Spy flashbacks. Though that's probably just me.
Mmmm. Fedora hat and a trenchcoat.... :-)

Unfair. D: Mine wasn't verified yeeeet...
*Pouts*
Haz: Nullus anxietas, you'll get in eventually I suspect. They'll look at your problem and at the problems others are having if they want their site to maintain popularity.
Dakata: That might be the case. Though I did read a while ago -- and I wish I could remember where and give you a source because otherwise this is only anecdotal and I really hate that -- that Microsoft controversially discards items that might be spam without asking, from a list of known spam addresses they have and from set regexes. I'll look this up, see if I can't find it again.
Still, I've heard of lots of hotmail users encountering things like this and it can't be a coincidence. It might be but I doubt it.
Thankfully however there are lots of good, free email providers out there. I like Gmail because I can integrate it so well with Firefox. I'll quite merrily send an invite to anyone that wants in, too, I think I have 200 invites sitting around regardless and if you don't like Gmail, I might be able to find something that you would.
Before Gmail came around, I spent a lot of time trying out loads of different free providers.
Tape: ... oh dear.
What did you do, Ray?
I just hope that a metaphorical Staypuft marshmallow man didn't trash their server but I digress.
Anyway, that is amusing. How did you pull it off? I'm curious.
Hilary: I like fedoras when it comes to non-fictional clothing, they tend to feel right atop one's head. Though one of these days I swear I'm going to try a bowler hat, if only to have those I know giggle helplessly at it.
And hurrah for you getting in!
I already have a Gmail account thing, Rowne. Kitsune gave me an invite like a month ago.
I'm just used to using Hotmail. D: I've used it for 2 years. TWO YEARS.
Ooo. I prefer mutt. I've only been using that for 3-4 years, though - before that I was using pine, but mutt is just... well, it's properly free, which is why I moved, and it's significantly more capable, which is nice, too.
Use what works for you, though. I'm pretty sure most folks here would look at what I use and go "ew" :-)

http://www.fureinds.com/profiles/miaka
most of the stuff in there's just random.
are you sure of ALL you said there miaka? juss' asking...
*Reminds Leafar that Miaka has a boyfriend, and that she is 14 just like Dakata* >>
<-- Dislikes Leafar
Leafar, what the hell are you on about?
*ahem*...so, as i was talking to MIAKA...
nothing really, as i said...juss asking...
Sorry if I made you think he was being bad, Miaka. I don't trust him! *Hisss*
*Clawhand*
Edit: I'll go in the corner if you want me to, Miaka. But only if Leafar gets a nice kick in the groin first. *Hiss hiss*
yeah... so let's stop this random derailing of the topic....
Leafar-Start making sense, aye?
Kata- Nah, don' worry about it.
only...i...did...was...ask...YOU...if...you're...sure...you...didn't...type...anything...wrong...cause...it...happened...to...a...friend...that's...all...*leaves*
Leafar: I think what everyone is saying is, you've said "are you sure" but haven't said what you're asking if Miaka is sure about...
"it happened to a friend" doesn't say what happened, either. so we're all sitting here in the dark wondering what the hell you've been smoking and where we can get some :-)
Reckon you can enlighten us a little? I mean, I even went and looked at Miaka's friend profile, but couldn't see anything that might make sense of what you've been saying...
that and, it feels stupid to be saying "no offense", but with some past things you've said/done, it's hard to tell what you mean by things you say.
Just sayin'.
Well, it looks like I got a few new friends links on there. Yay! I'm sorry to those who invited me though, whilst I had time to click through, I didn't have time to formulate a response. Life got a bit hectic here and the only reason it's much more calm now is because it's the middle of the night (yay 2am!). So yes. Thanks for the invites though, those that did. S'nice of you.
I got one! I just made it! http://www.furiends.com/profiles/100712/
