Hey Furs, Lotix@fa here! Since all my commissions are on hold, I want to offer freebies!

Furry Reddit - Fri 17 Oct 2014 - 13:47

Hey furfriends!

I go by Lotix on Furaffinity! http://furaffinity.net/user/lotix You guys can call me Dani or Loti I have also posted proof of myself on Twitter~ https://twitter.com/XitollotiX

Since all my references are on lock down, I can't exactly work on commissions. I still feel like doing SOMETHING and wanted to offer free SFW busts for you guys.

Here are examples of what I'll be offering: http://puu.sh/cg15J/0c4f29f41a.jpg http://puu.sh/cg1o6/4aedfe2f62.jpg http://puu.sh/cg1tl/a514c2037d.jpg

You will have permission to edit these/color them/use them as icons but if you ever post them, crediting would be required, preferably by link! But for now since FA is down, even just spreading my name to your friends would be fine in the mean time! :)

If anyone wants to help me in this blank time and make any donations, please note me privately and we can discuss it <33

Another option at this time if you'd like to help me out but yet want something more complete, I'd be willing to take a few chibi commissions @ 20.00 USD a pop. This is a tad more than my normal prices but I want to try making up for the last three days of no work, so please be understanding, you would be supporting an artist in need! ;W;<33

examples: http://i.imgur.com/BpLLp8w.png http://i.imgur.com/rKlVFdY.png http://i.imgur.com/ZdwPyjLl.png

Please note me if interested!

Now for the free sketchy busts, just post your references below! You are welcome to post more than one character but then I'll pick and choose whom I'd love to draw more :3 Options are nice and help me be creative!! If you have any questions, im always open and up to answering them, thank you!! <3

DJSprinkles Iron Artist Event (contact info)

Furry Reddit - Fri 17 Oct 2014 - 12:31

So I participated in DKSprinkles' Iron Artist event on FurAffinity, and the day before FurAffinity went down for the DDOS, he had told me my commission (a picture of me and my mate together) was almost has done. But FurAffinity has been down all week, and I was wondering...

Does anyone else know how to contact the furry artist DJSprinkles? Maybe he has a Reddit account here? If someone could help me contact him, I would greatly appreciate it.

Secondary: My first post on r/furry! _^ Not my first comment though.

And since every fur has their "Talent" mine happens to be www.youtube.com/darkfoxinc

Anyway i hope to be as active as i can on this subreddit. Love this fandom more then anything. It's practically the only reason i'm able to talk to people and be sociable! ~<3

Furry Reddit - Fri 17 Oct 2014 - 08:53

I thought this came out pretty well, but I haven't gotten any feedback on it, so I was hoping I could get some here :D

Let's Talk DDOS

Furry Reddit - Fri 17 Oct 2014 - 08:39

We're going into Day 3 of our DDOS. As of tonight, FA will be approaching the 72 hour mark of the DDOS. A lot of questions has come up, so I'd like to try to answer them as best I can.

The current status on FA is that we're waiting on our host to give the all clear. Once we get that, FA will go back up with minimal services while we make some changes and tweaks (changing IPs and moving some of our services around).

If you have questions/comments regarding the DDOS I'll be answering them over the course of the day. I'll also be sending this out to other sites affected to see if they want to join and comment on their own situation.

Q) What is a DDOS?

A) A DDOS is a Distributed Denial of Service attack. Essentially, a massive network of computers all targeting an endpoint and dumping a massive amount of traffic down all at once. You could equate this to driving on a near empty road and instantly, BAM! 100,000 cars appear can cause gridlock. Or, as I like to put your data has to get from Point A to Point B and Godzilla's ass is blocking the path.

Q) What can you do about it?

A) Not much. You either have to "ride it out" or start blocking traffic on the router level. You can blackhole an IP, dumping any traffic that reaches an endpoint to help curb the tide. This is what we did on FA. The site never went down, but the network access to the site did.

Q) Why don't you have XXX DDOS protection?

A) Because we already had some DDOS protection available from our host (we can theoretically absorb a DDOS up to 10Gbit even though we only have a 500Mbit line). However, the level of traffic far exceeded what we had available and started to impact the host. So much so, it was impacting other servers and hosts in four different facilities.

Q) I heard FA is dying.

A) Nope. Not dying.

Q) I heard FA lost all it's data!

A) The data's fine. The DDOS has just made accessing the site problematic. We are able to SSH (remote) into the site since our host opened that up for us, so we can get to it from our side and do what we need. It's just not publicly available.

Q) You're fat!

A) Cupcakes are frakkin' delicious, what can I say.

The Mouse Guard Were Young Once

In-Fur-Nation - Fri 17 Oct 2014 - 01:10

For several years now David Petersen (creator, writer, and artist of the award-winning Mouse Guard series) has annually been putting together an illustrated fable from the Mouse Guard universe for Free Comic Book Day. Now Archaia Comics have brought together four of them (along with two new stories) in Baldwin the Brave and Other Tales, a new full-color hardback. “Every hero was once a child, listening to stories of the heroes who came before them. It is the same with the Mouse Guard. Six mouse fables are spun to a few familiar young furs, reminding us all to be brave, stay true to ourselves, and follow our hearts. Brand new stories include ‘Service to Seyan,’ set in the land where Mouse warriors travel after death, and ‘Oh Day Away,’ a tale of the insect faeries of the Mouse world!” Archaia have an interview with the creator himself over on their web page. Baldwin the Brave comes out this November.

Just thought some people might be interested in this if they didn't know about it. It recently went up earlier in the day, and I think is an interesting idea. www.furgather.com
