Hello fellow furries. I'm fairly new to the furry fandom and when browsing around here for info I saw that on the Anthrocon website which I quote:

"A large number of anthropomorphics fans are employed in scientific or technical fields. A significant percentage have college diplomas and many of those hold advanced degrees."

So, I was wondering if there was a higher concentration of furries in STEM fields. I personally am dual majoring in Electrical Engineering and Applied Mathematics at an engineering university myself and a couple of my close friends are furries in some way as well. Now that I am a bit more open about being a furry, I am noticing that there are more furries that go to my college than I thought, and my school is nearly strictly engineering and applied science.

I'm just wondering how many of us are either majoring in a STEM/Technical subject or work in the field and it anyone has noticed any correlation between being a furry and having a STEM career or degree. So what do you guys think?

So I'm back from my vacation in Georgia. Did some fun stuff, had a argument with family, Blah, Etc, Blah, Etc, Blah.

Anyways I have a wonderful question/game today!

you know how sometimes we have a thread where each of us says what our Fursona's theme is? Well how about everyone posts a physical description of their Fursona (Or a picture or flair) and I try to find some music that may describe them. To switch it up a bit do not post about their personality so I have to guess! Or if I know something about your character beforehand and cheat. Needless to say results may be hilariously wrong or suitably right, But that is what will make this fun; To see how much I can horribly fail to find a fitting piece of music or two.

Also what did I miss? Any notable drama or good things? Oh and how did mono's YCH boss battle raffle thingy go?

Hey. Today I will be filling out for /u/CeresSergal, since he's out doing uni stuff and_drinking

Since everyone is getting back to School or University, we are doing "Back to school". Draw your sona as a student going back to "hard" work.

If your fursona already has a trade or job You can draw your fursona performing such job ^

I hope to see hard working students and engineers doing their jobs!

Thanks to everyone who submitted art for Week 13's prompt.

Week #13

Ceres's update thread about the art prompts. (No new prompts until 26th of October)

Tim Gadd is one of the founders of alt.lifestyle.furry.

When a friend pointed me to these welcome essays concerning the early years of alt.lifestyle.furry—a time which will always exist as a vibrant and halcyon period in my memory—I asked if I might make a dedication, which the author and publisher kindly allowed.

ALF was an ideal as well as a community: a kind of social experiment which had never been tried on Usenet before. Myself and Ron Orr are usually credited with its conception and creation. We did come up with the idea, and write the charter and FAQ, but not without the consultation of the ‘creation committee’; a group of thirteen people in total who, over six months, provided input and review to the process.

Of these people there is no question IMHO that the most crucial was Brad Austin. His judgement was scrupulous, as was his instinctive grasp of the ethics of what we were trying to do. He was the one person whose advice I’d never ignore. Later, if the core values of the newsgroup were ever attacked, Brad was the staunchest of defenders; rigorously intelligent and morally unwavering, no matter how controversial the topic.

Brad died suddenly last year, age 45. I’ve never had a closer friend, and I miss him like hell. I wish more members of the community had known him personally.

There is someone else I want to mention. Virtually on New Year’s Day 1997, ALF hit the backbone Usenet servers and our participation suddenly exploded to many times the trickle of posts of the early months. The first poster I remember on that day was Craig Andersen – KimbaWLion online. Perhaps I’m biased, but to me he instantly became the first core member of the community from outside the original creation group, and I always told him I considered his appearance to be synchronous with and symbolic of the real birth of ALF.

Kimba quickly became my other closest friend, along with Brad and Ron, and his family welcomed me into their home on every visit to their hometown. He too passed away unexpectedly, late in 2012, age 58.

I’m grateful for the chance to leave this tribute on record to two true soul mates without whom things would not have happened like they did. I know there are many of our number who have fallen over the years, and this dedication is for them too, and those they left behind.
