Human Dinos vs. Dragon Wizards

In-Fur-Nation - Sun 23 Nov 2014 - 02:59

DinoFroz is a 2D animated TV series created by Orlando Corrati and animated by Mondo TV Studios in Italy. “The series depicts the adventures of Tom, a 12-year-old boy and his friends who, after playing a board game, are teleported to a world where they can transform into dinosaurs using stones called Rockfroz.” And more importantly, they can use their new-found dinosaur powers to try and defeat an army of evil magic dragons who are determined to rule all worlds — including ours! All of this also (hopefully) serving in the sales of tie-in toys. You can see both show and toys advertised and summarized over on YouTube. DinoFroz is currently seeking distribution in North America.

PSA: Deleted FA notes are not actually deleted

Furry Reddit - Sun 23 Nov 2014 - 00:52

If you send a note on FA and save the URL, you can still access the note even if you've deleted it. This appears to be a bug, and this bug has existed for years.

A few questions about meetups.

Furry Reddit - Sat 22 Nov 2014 - 22:03

I am a Connecticut fur, and I am looking at going to my first meetup sometime next month. I know there is one at the Rocky Hill Diner each month, sadly I cannot make it, as my friend will be working. I'm keeping an ear out for any other events afterwards though (Does anyone know any?), so I can help plan ahead of time. In any case, I've got a few questions that I'd love to have answered about meets:

  • I am 17, and my aforementioned friend who would be taking me is 19. Would their be people our age who attend meets? I have no problems talking or making friends with people who are older than me, though.

  • Are drugs and alcohol a problem? I'm still a minor technically, and I'm not interested in drinking or smoking at all. I don't mind being around people who drink or smoke, I have a problem when the overdo it and start acting... off. If anyone tries to pressure me into those things, I'll just high-tail it out of there.

  • I also don't mind being around gay, bi, or asexual people. But I don't want guys hitting on me, as I'm straight. Is that ever an issue?

  • I know that people suit to these events, do you think they would be nice enough to let me try on their suits?

  • How many people usually attend these kinds of events?

  • Would I be welcomed as a newcomer? I've only been a serious fur for a month, so I'm still kind of unsure.

  • What kinds of things go on at these meetups?

  • I'm kind of socially awkward (I just say things out of place really.) Can anyone relate and understand?

I know that most of those questions were in a negative connotation, but I'm just being cautious is all. I know that there are Plenty of friendly individuals out there who would love to get to know me. I'm really excited and anxious to attend my first meetup :3! I can't wait! Thanks for all your help furs!

Furaffinity and Zidonuke drama part III

Furry Reddit - Sat 22 Nov 2014 - 21:46

EDIT : Reddit's formatting is bad, very sorry for the clutter.

EDIT 2 : REGARDING THE VALIDITY OF THESE MESSAGES.

Shortly after this thread took off, Dragoneer and Charizard messaged me.

Charizard simply told me to not compare Hasky to Eevee, as he deems it offensive and that Hasky is not on the same level.

Dragoneer insists that Hasky cannot be trusted and a few skype logs that show Hasky talks about odd things, I'm still not sure who to believe so I will be getting more details on it. Please keep these in mind when reading this information. I will note that this is the first time Dragoneer has directly messaged me regarding something, I tried to ask him additional questions such as why did Charmander ask me what he did, but he had then stopped replying. Still waiting on more details but so far nothing has come up.

And back to the story

EDIT 3 : MORE INFO ABOUT HASKY.

I've found more, dated Nov 6th, this thread cache is from him. http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:wu_ciisAvd8J:https://forums.furaffinity.net/threads/1270247-Is-nobody-going-to-bother-fixing-the-site+&cd=3&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&client=firefox

Or are we going to let people do this:-

By the way, what exactly did they spend the money on? Because it seems like nothing at the moment.

Please don't say that, I'm trying to become a white hat and you are not helping.

All links have been deleted.

EDIT 4

This is from Conan on Vivisector.

http://i.imgur.com/SWMx1F5.png

There appears to be a huge spike in the thumbnail load times around the same date as

[11/8/2014 3:49:23 AM] Zido: lol its maxing out the CPU on the thumbnails server [11/8/2014 3:49:29 AM] Zido: you found a mini ddos [11/8/2014 3:50:01 AM] Hasky: Site is 100% Unresponsive.

This is also backed up by user reports of the thumbnails being broken around that time.

And back to the story

Hello folks, I'm back with a part III to our super investigation into the recent bits of stuff surrounding FA and the internal workings.

As per the norm now, I'm here to say I'm only reporting information that I feel everyone should know. I am just as for getting FA fixed up as I am getting people off it, I will not direct people to do either or but it is up to what the community feels is best.

You can read parts one and two here. http://www.reddit.com/r/furry/comments/2mmfq6/to_anyone_that_uses_furaffinity_this_is_important/ http://www.reddit.com/r/furry/comments/2mtqb4/furaffinity_and_zidonuke_drama_part_ii/

Today the latest bit of information comes to us from Hasky! Hasky has worked both against and for the fandom, but has been more than helpful.

Hasky has worked on project Phoenix before, and has tried to help FA with bug fixes before. He came to me via a pastebin link. The original linked contained senstive information, so I've edited it out and you can read it here. http://pastebin.com/BFeiT4ZK (This contains mature topics, nsfw)

The conversation above details Zido's involvement on FA, the biggest thing to note is this conversation took place on the 8th of this month, which immediately contradicts what Neer mentioned here : https://twitter.com/Dragoneer/status/535427234576990208

Zidonuke was NEVER an admin until the day we made the announcement. Period. He was a consultant, yes, nothing more.

But in the pastebin ...

[11/8/2014 4:11:08 AM] Anon: <3 [11/8/2014 4:11:23 AM] Zido: and I don't f*cking understand how to work around this bullshit unstructured system with no documentation [11/8/2014 4:11:24 AM] Anon: Its catching up now. [11/8/2014 4:11:35 AM] Zido: I only got access to this stuff as a few days ago btw

I then talked to Hasky directly, I'm going to paste some examples of our conversation below. I've removed stuff that relates to speculation / privacy reasons.

[7:51:08 PM] Illuminasky: I'll start from the beginning.

[7:51:15 PM] Illuminasky: Infact, I'll write it in a way you can make a reddit post out of it.

[7:52:00 PM] Illuminasky: My name is Hasky. I'm the Chief-Hacker of Death 2 Furrys Coalition, but I recently turned 'Pro-Furry' after I actually started to befriend a ton of people in the fandom.

[7:52:20 PM] Illuminasky: I came into operation early october after being tipped off by my best friend that there was a chance to become a developer for FurAffinity.

[7:52:37 PM] Illuminasky: I rode the chance and I became a developer on Phoenix early October, around the DDoS attack.

[7:53:17 PM] Illuminasky: The DDoS attack was an attack by an outside group also hating the furry fandom, but, the damage costs were actually, a joke.

[7:53:47 PM] Illuminasky: Infact, if you read the pastebin I sent you, I got kicked out of Phoenix for trying to explain that they need to fix the current site.

[7:54:10 PM] Illuminasky: I actually got into the Phoenix development group for exposing an exploit which allowed for users to post malware ridden images.

[7:55:04 PM] Illuminasky: After I left Phoenix, I started a public 'exposed' hack of FurAffinity, thats the Hasky.Me thing you linked too.

[7:55:17 PM] Illuminasky: I publicly posted a method I had tried to get patched showing people that things were possible.

[7:55:51 PM] Illuminasky: Dragoneer since blocked me when I tried to help him further more, and threatening to expose the exploit.

[7:56:25 PM] Illuminasky: So, this is where it gets interesting.

[7:56:36 PM] Illuminasky: Zidonuke then added me, and thus started talking too me.

[7:56:58 PM] Illuminasky: He first said he was a sysadmin for furaffinity

[7:57:27 PM] Illuminasky: We then discussed about Hacking.

[7:57:40 PM] Illuminasky: You are going to have to believe me here, the best I can show you here is Pastebin logs.

[7:57:49 PM] Illuminasky: But Zidonukes plan is to actually kill FurAffinity.

[7:58:08 PM] Illuminasky: We both discussed a plan to take out Dragoneer and reverse engineer our selves into FurAffinity.

[7:58:25 PM] Illuminasky: But, he became attached to me, and wanted to date me, and it all got strange.

[7:58:33 PM] Illuminasky: If you want me to go into anything deeper, let me know.**

The next bit was stuff to help confirm he was telling the truth, it contained an irl photo of Zido which I won't put here for privacy reasons. It was a photo of them on a skype call together.

[8:02:31 PM] Illuminasky: http://i.imgur.com/gscS7AD.png

[8:02:36 PM] Illuminasky: here's proof I was a phoenix developer

[8:02:57 PM] Rowdy(s) the Crux: When exactly were you kicked out?

[8:03:19 PM] Illuminasky: When the DDOS took place.

[8:05:21 PM] Rowdy(s) the Crux: Interesting

[8:05:29 PM] Rowdy(s) the Crux: On a quick side note

[8:05:58 PM] Rowdy(s) the Crux: When you were in it, did you happen to see anything that would explain

[8:05:58 PM] Rowdy(s) the Crux: [Thursday, July 17, 2014 11:33 PM] Zaush:

<<< just doing some organization shifting

[8:05:59 PM] Rowdy(s) the Crux: This?

[8:06:07 PM] Illuminasky: Yes.

[8:06:13 PM] Illuminasky: Number 1) Zaush does not call the shots.

[8:06:22 PM] Illuminasky: Number 2) This was regarding Phoenix.

[8:06:42 PM] Illuminasky: Zaush does NOT EVEN code, he's only there because he's friends with Dragoneer.

[8:06:47 PM | Edited 8:07:03 PM] Illuminasky: The plan was to never replace FurAffinity.

[8:07:15 PM] Rowdy(s) the Crux: What was the plan?

[8:07:20 PM] Illuminasky: ABANDON SHIP

[8:07:41 PM] Illuminasky: Infact, thats just my speculation.

[8:07:47 PM] Illuminasky: What I do know is Dragoneer is in serious debt at the moment.

[8:07:54 PM] Illuminasky: Oh, and also,

[8:07:57 PM] Illuminasky: Please release this,

[8:07:58 PM] Illuminasky: and show people.

[8:08:06 PM] Illuminasky: I tried to show people on the forums but they kept deleting my threads.

[8:08:14 PM] Illuminasky: And I bet you, as soon as you show people this.

[8:08:19 PM] Illuminasky: Dragoneer will post, that I am a hacker.

[8:08:40 PM] Illuminasky: Literally, this is the stone cold killer at the moment, as soon as you show people this. Its over,

[8:08:45 PM] Illuminasky: which is what I've been trying to do.

[8:08:51 PM] Illuminasky: Telling people to stop donating, and to leave while you can.

I'd like to explain this here. I was accepted to be a Pheonix dev as well back in July. When Furaffinity was looking for a Css coder. http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/5819207/ I was introduced to Zaush via Dragoneer and was given a rundown on what to do and that I'd be put in the team and given the tools and stuff soon. This never happened, I had asked Zaush a few times when this would take place and he kept telling me he was busy with work. Eventually he said the line about doing organization shifting and we never spoke again after.

[8:22:08 PM] Rowdy(s) the Crux: Were you the one who exposed the bug where you can embed the logout page in an image?

[8:22:45 PM] Illuminasky: Yes,

[8:22:51 PM] Illuminasky: I also exposed the Malware to Image bug,

[8:22:56 PM] Illuminasky: the bug that killed the Thumbnail Servers

[8:23:03 PM] Illuminasky: the bug that killed the Image servers.

[8:23:06 PM] Illuminasky: Nameless Posts

[8:23:15 PM] Illuminasky: Registration DDOS exploit

[8:23:50 PM] Rowdy(s) the Crux: How many of those are still there? I had helped Neer try and fix the logout one but he eventually stopped replying to me

[8:23:56 PM] Illuminasky: All of them.

[8:24:05 PM] Illuminasky: Nothing has been fixed.

I won't go into details of thse bugs, but I will add this is not the first time someone has been vindicated for trying to warn FA about bugs. A user by the name of Eevee had also pointed out flaws within the community and after he was ignored repeatedly he decided to use it himself to prove how much of a threat it was.

http://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Eevee_%28person%29

https://forums.vivisector.org/index.php?topic=742.0 Details the events here, also references other bugs and exploits.

Moving on. The last thing I had asked was details about the anti-fur group, what I got from that was.

[8:17:32 PM] Rowdy(s) the Crux: Anything on the Anti ddos group? Was the gofundme being made the same day as the ddos coincidence or was there more to that?

[8:17:50 PM] Illuminasky: Errm,

[8:17:56 PM] Illuminasky: I don't think I can comment on that.....

[8:18:15 PM] Illuminasky: I got told by Zido that it was true, and they did have that much debt.

The thing to consider here is that Zido hasn't totally told the truth, however what Zido told me matches up with what Hasky has told me so that that as you will.

The rest of our conversation covered speculations and other details that either can't be shared publically or don't have any evidence to back them us, thus aren't relevant to what is known for certain.

Another topic of interest, I had been discussing on the journal comments last night that I had gone to Neer talking about the possibility of a PR manager to at least cut out the wait times we've had just trying to get an answer. Him being at work a billion hours a day makes it very hard to get much out of him. However it was told to me this morning that FA at one point did have a PR manager, Nanuk. He had left a few months after the announcement.

Quoted from u/SilferFox1987

I know this isn't exactly related to the current drama at hand, but... I would just like to remind people that have maybe forgotten about it. But FA did at one point, have -a- (read; singular) person specifically hired for PR and Marketing. That same person, who was hired to try and avoid/address this kind of 'problem' (Let's admit it, this is a problem that was sorta Needing to happen to get people to start waking up..), is no longer affliated officially with FA.... and hasn't been since Four Months AFTER the whole Zaush exodus. http://s28.postimg.org/96flqxayj/nanuk.png

Edit: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/5417252/ Just in case people want a bit more evidence that Nanuk Was in fact involved with the FA staff as PR and Marketing, as well as to help the site 'maintain #transparency' https://www.anonimg.com/img/ad4ed1976638cb4a38f09f1922db2272.png

There is that word again, aaaaaaaaa. That's all for now, you guys have been great so far, please continue to spread this information around. If you need to ask me any questions please use my skype "Rowedahelicon" it's the fastest way to reach me. And remember to be calm and civil when discussing this topic either on journals or with friends or anything of that nature.

Just south of Buffalo New York, more than 6 feet of snow, driving banned in almost every town, school closed for the month, the National Guard called in, lives lost, it’s been a little crazy!

Furry feel-good thread

Furry Reddit - Sat 22 Nov 2014 - 20:23

Hiya folks. I figured it would be a nice idea to get people to post some furry-related things that make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside! I think this would be a great place to look if you're having a bad day, so I'm here to spread some furry cheer!

Post your photos, stories, art, videos, future plans, or anything else that is furry-related that makes you feel good!

I'll start: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/10365046/(SikeRedWolf on FA, /u/SikeRed) http://www.furaffinity.net/view/14707315/ (ValdorFox on FA) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-nhBi7FHMc

Edit: Forgot about this short little story! So I was at a robotics event with my local team, Team 176 Aces High, while wearing my fleece wolf hoodie, and saying hello to other team members and pedestrians, giving free hugs, drumming up some spirit and good times. There was a woman who walked in with her baby boy, so I walked up to her and said hello to her and her baby. She held him close to me and he reached out and grabbed the ear on my hoodie, and giggled. What happened next was a suprise for me and the mother. He smiled and said "gog." The lady was very happy that I helped him say his first words! Even if it wasn't a real one, that was a highlight of my day.
