So, any plushies?

Furry Reddit - Wed 25 Mar 2015 - 20:01

Do you own any plushies? I sure as hell do. Who are they and how did you get them in your possession? Do you love them?

Can we please calm down and be happy?

Furry Reddit - Wed 25 Mar 2015 - 16:31

People have been losing their heads recently over "a certain issue." I think we need to tone it down and just be grateful of the community we have. No matter what happens, just remember we still have DA and Reddit to share our mutual love of all things furry :3

Please guys, let's not be so hard and pessimistic.

Let's let love return.

Helping a friend choose a fursuit maker.

Furry Reddit - Wed 25 Mar 2015 - 16:09

OK. I'm posting this on behalf of a friend who doesn't have a Reddit account. He's in the market to replace his old fursuit. The suit was made by Hindpaws and is about 7 years old right now. Unfortunately the suit is starting to show its age. Holes in the fur, the zipper has been broken and replaced a few times, airbrushing has started to fade, feetpaws starting to come apart, head is ill fitting and damaged.

He's rather torn between atleast 5 makers as to who to do the "2.0" of his suit. He wants good balance between "Toony" and "Realistic" but doesn't want it to be pushed either way. He's also looking for someone who does a good build that will stand up to going to a few cons and such.

He does have a shortlist of makers: Fursuiting.com, MadeFurYou, ByCats4Cats, MyFurCreations, and Crafty Critters.

I'm simply looking for input on any of these makers as to who would provide a worthwhile suit to replace his old one.

I can post ref sheet and photos of current suit if anyone needs to see them.

Egyptian Furries Theme ~

Post will be edited shortly. Include photos and ideas for the month of May's theme.

Banner: This theme will work differently then past themes, all of the art will go up with a header for the last week of each months theme instead of the entire month.

So I have a question about coming out as a furry...

Furry Reddit - Wed 25 Mar 2015 - 13:46

Should I make my door bigger or invest in a smaller Fursuit? I'm afraid I won't be able to get out with it on. That'd be horrible!

Haha, gotcha. Also, /s

For those of you with multiple sonas, how different are they from each other?

Furry Reddit - Wed 25 Mar 2015 - 13:38

Title.

I've seen people with 2, 3...5....lots of sonas, I'm curious if you keep them all the same species, close to the same, or do you make them really different?

If you got links to each, that would be cool too.

A helpful FAQ about IMVU and FA

Furry Reddit - Wed 25 Mar 2015 - 13:27

A helpful FAQ

Why the Acquisition?

IMVU is a 10 year old community built entirely by customers for customers; it is sustained by creative individuals finding like-minded people online, who accept and encourage their creative, expressive sides, anonymously. At a high level, while the art form is entirely different, the guiding principles - inclusiveness, celebrating creativity, embracing diversity - are the overarching umbrella that unites the two distinct communities.

IMVU is not today, and will not be tomorrow, an exclusively furry community. Furries are one of the many, many, many diverse audiences that meet on IMVU, to socialize and find others that understand them and share their same interests.

During discussions with Dragoneer we found FA had huge potential, a passionate community, and a dedicated leader, but was struggling with financial and resource challenges. Dragoneer has the vision but was not able to devote his full attention to the site. We realized that working together we could help FA get the support it needs to make improvements. When talking to Dragoneer about the possibility of an acquisition, every one of his requirements were based on wanting to make sure the end result was right for the FA community… this is when I was convinced that FA will have an amazing future.

IMVU is making a commitment of money and resources to FA that far exceeds what FA was able to achieve on its own. I believe FA will grow to being a self-supporting community if it has the focus, people and resources to make customer experience improvements. With IMVU’s support and keeping a hands-off approach to how FA is operated, I’m looking forward to a rewarding outcome for everybody, most of all FA’s community.

One of the most asked questions: "Why IMVU?" which ties well into a question asked by user Sketh, "How is IMVU even remotely relevant to FA? An online 3d avatar chat system acquiring a furry art gallery...?"

FA is a community of creative people sharing their artwork. IMVU is also a community of creative people sharing their artwork - 3D models and fashion creations. While FA is dedicated to the furry audience, IMVU welcomes and celebrates many, many diverse audiences, furries being a significant one of them.

"And what does it meant for us furries?" asked by DirtyPaws

Other than FA having a lot more resources 100% dedicated to improving the site, it shouldn’t mean anything different than before the acquisition. You will see advertising, but FA is being run by Dragoneer, not by IMVU. Oh, and FA won’t need community donations to survive, so no more pledge drives. :)

"What does IMVU get out of this?" asked by Michichael

We think that by supporting FA they can build a better experience and bigger community and make something more valuable for IMVU, FA and the furry community in general.

"What will IMVU do with FA?" asked by Roycefox

That’s a better question for Dragoneer. We really believe that FA knows what is best for the FA community, so we have committed support both financially and through other resources. We want to let it run independently and see it thrive.

A LOT of users seemed concerned that the ads coming will be trying to auto-install spyware/malware

The ads being delivered come from a top advertising provider for websites (Google ad network) and are screened thoroughly as part of their review process to ensure no spyware/malware is included.

Among the other general questions:

"Does IMVU plan on changing FA?"

IMVU plans on supporting FA changing the site to make improvements, but FA is run independently, so changes will be determined by Dragoneer and team.

"What is IMVU doing to help furry artists who have had their work stolen?" and "What's the best process to protect my art?"

Stolen content is bad for everybody in the community, from the author that sees their hard work being exploited to the community that misses the opportunity to connect with the author, explore their other works and even make a new friendship. IMVU wants to ensure that people only share content they have the rights to share. If stolen content is posted on the FA site, the process is likely to stay the same. If stolen art is posted on IMVU, the legal owner of the art can file a DMCA Takedown notice.

What is Dragoneer?

Furry Reddit - Wed 25 Mar 2015 - 12:42

I'm hearing a lot about it. Is it something from IMVU or something? Can someone verify?
