FurNation v. FurAffinity: FIGHT!
A few days ago, FurAffinity went offline due to Co-Location issues. And the furries became restless.

Suddenly, There was a post on the front page of FurNation, a 'rival site' accusing FurAffinity admin Dragoneer of reporting FN to Paypal, thereby getting Paypal to suspend the account.

Well, looks like the staff at FA decided to pull a fast one and contacted Paypal to tell them that we were violating Paypal's Acceptable Use Policy with our donation system. Paypal shut down our account. No way to re-open it. No more donations for our server fees.

Now, I know that Dragoneer (Preyfar), the guy who runs FA has said some pretty nasty things about FurNation and myself in the past, but I have never bothered to respond to them before. But to stoop as low as to do this is really something I can no longer tolerate. How do I know that it was someone from FA's staff who did this? This I will not say, as I am not going to implicate my source and loose a good friend.

And checking with our ISP, seems that a complaint was also sent to them the same day. Hmm. Pretty interesting timing.

Sorry that you are offline FA, and sorry that you seem not to be able to keep your service online for more than a few months, but to try to have another furry service shut down while your systems are offline to keep the fandom from fleeing to a better community is, well, really below anything I have ever seen in my life. FA somehow conned a lot of good furs into forking over their cash to sponser FA, and with over 50K in donations (according to Dragoneer (Preyfar)) it still can't seem to stablize. Hell, it cost us less than 50K to run FurNation for the entire 12 years we have been online! I remember when Dragoneer was ranting about FurNation having server issues. Well, karma is great isn't it!

As far as the future of FurNation goes, well, no funds to pay for the service then no FurNation. January 1st will be the offline day unless I can figure out something this month, and I am VERY busy with the holiday season.

To the FurNation community, my deapest thanks for all those who helped us over the years. If we go offline at the end of the month, then it was meant to be. Flayrah is also going offline next month. When all that is left is FA, then the entire fandom will loose.


'Neer replies "The fuck?" via Twitter. He then asks for people not to point fingers. Again and again (Screencap).

And then the FA forums become a-tither with excitement!

The FurNation forums get some action too. Behold a screencap. Oh, but what's this? Seems the FN mods are deleting posts in their forums? Screencap

Wondering why there are so many screencaps? Because FurNation is leaving the internet forever. No really you guys!(EDIT: Link now redirects to furisdead.com, a PETA site.)

And a fun time was had by all.

Okay, so their proof for this is...what. An anonymous FA admin who supports them in email?

Oh furry fandom, I am glad that I don't belong to you.

This is the most nitpicky thing ever, but I can't stand it when people say "loose" when they mean "lose" or vice-versa.

So did FurNation... flounce?

Snerk...The link to FN just shows a blank black page at the moment. How...gloriously emo, and not at all really gone. It's like when Lady Sybs "deleted" her page. I give it two days, three tops.

Also, I like how it was IMMIDEATELY OBVIOUS that FA was behind this. Like, beyond a shadow of a doubt. And no-one asks for proof or evidence of any kind. Oh wait, someone does, then they get banned. Clever.

CRITICAL THINKING, MOTHERFUCKERS, DO YOU HAVE IT

Wasn't there some wank about FurNation a while back? That it was created by some guy who was mad about FA's TOS, and was totally gonna make a better site free from the man...or the wolf...or the fox...or whatever...?

I just remember thinking that the entire site was like an icon of wank.

Random story:

A few months ago in a fit of lonely, I signed up for Geek2Geek (an online dating thing). One of the first responses I got was from a guy who seemed pretty nice, liked some of the same stuff as I do, lived reasonably close by... he sent me his email address, and I was about to send him mine, when I decided to Google him first.

First hit for his email was a furry Wiki. Apparently he's well-known for playing multiple dickgirl wolves. And now every time I see furry wank, I wonder how he's doing.

It's deeply saddening to see such a vibrant community fall into vicious infighting, rather than following their true calling, which is making crappy drawings of a crossbow-wielding panda rear-ending an arctic fox-man dressed up as Sephiroth.

I decided to run a whois on furnation.com. At first glanced, it seemed that the site had been on borrowed time for nearly three months.

Link for search results

I was referred to whois.wildwestdomains.com; I'm looking it up there.
Now, that would be a story. Unfortunately, a follow-up search through the URL suggested by DNSStuff revealed that was not the case.
