Old school Runescape clan chats?
I just got back into playing old school runescape and I was wondering if any of you guys know of any furry clan chats?
I use to chill in thefurrychat and thefurchat quite a bit back in the day but I guess they both ended up dying.

Anyone know of any monthly meetups in Seattle?
hey Y'all, A bunch of my friends from california always talk about going to monthly furry meetups, and I'd really like to go to one. However, I live in Seattle so going with my friends isn't an option. So does anyone know of any? It doesn't have to be monthly, but I'd love to meet up with local furs. -thanks for any help :3

Fursuit artists?
So I just found out that I have some unexpected money coming in and wanted to use it to get a partial hyena fursuit done. Are there any artists you denizens of r/furry would recommend?

Limited free headshots! Details inside...
So it's been a while since I've done a free headshot post, yeah? Easily over a month.
This time, I can't offer the usual 20+ that I normally do. I do, however, need some warm up practice.
I'm looking for FIVE people, with one catch: it has to be a non-standard species. I draw enough dragons and wolves and foxes, so I'm looking to get some practice with more exotic, unusual, or unique sonas.
This isn't a first come first serve. These won't be colored on account of my laptop charger being dead, but they will be better quality sketch than just a lineart.
Bonus: if anyone has a Sergal, I'll draw it without it counting towards the other 5. I have a commission that involves Sergals and I'm not quite comfortable with them yet

Don't Be a Popufur, Be a Friend
I am wondering how am I supposed to become a popufur since way back then until now. No matter how hard myself trying on improving my conversation between people, fixing up my self-image, making new friends (fur friends and real life human) and learn and googled about how to strike a conversation and keeping it going on, but I failed to do so!
Does Papabear have any valuable advice and guidance that will not only help me improve myself but becoming a popufur I would gladly appreciate and practice until I become a popufur.
Thanks, Papabear. I am looking foward for your reply!

Dear VolkWolf,
Nice to hear from a furry all the way from Malaysia :-3 I can see you’re learning English pretty well, although still struggling a bit. Because of that, you might not realize what a popufur is. Popufurs are people who want to be popular for the sake of popularity. This might sound cool, but, in truth, it is a very shallow attitude to have. People who desperately seek to have lots of followers on furry and other social websites do so because they wish to be validated. That is, they wish to be seen as valuable furries in the community. Whether or not that attention is deserved is not important; all that matters to a popufur is that he or she be seen as something special and someone to be envied and put on a pedestal.
What you, I hope, really want is to make more friends in the furry community, and to make more connections to people who share your interests both locally and around the world. That is the better goal to set for yourself. Real, true, loyal friends are priceless. Each real friend is worth more than a million groupies who only follow you because you have set yourself up as a “popufur” and they want to join the bandwagon.
How do you make friends? Well, you say you are already doing that, which is great, so perhaps you don’t need any tips, but the way to make friends is to be a friend. Be kind to others, be supportive, be interested in their lives and what they have to say. Don’t do anything to hurt them; don’t betray them; try and always keep your word. No one is a perfect friend (I myself have failed to be one on several occasions, to my regret), but it is something toward which you should always strive.
So, VolkWolf, my advice to you is this: you're asking the wrong question; don’t try to be a popufur; try to be the best friend to others that you can be. Little else matters in this world other than kindness and love. If we all were kind and loving to one another, just think what an amazing world it would be.
Hugs,
Papabear
