Anyone remember that dude who honestly thought he was a dog and wanted/started to live like one?

Oh god yeah, I remember that. Didn't he make a thread that was like "hey my fursona is a dog and I want to be more like him, but dog food is too expensive so could somebody suggest any cheap brands I could eat?", then everyone who replied said "no don't do that, you'll end up in hospital with malnutrition"? I dunno, it was something like that.

I remember another guy made a thread complaining about "not being accepted as a furry by my friends" or something along those lines, then basically said he got turned on by horses and tried to deny (to no effect) that's what he actually meant for the next five pages when he saw the reaction it got. That was a fucking trainwreck.

Aww dude! I remember that guy! 

All the big fallouts from the main site were amazing. The cub ban was hilarious. 

I remember my very first post. It was a gigantic wall of text in which I said that I felt sorry for how the internet treated furries. In retrospect I feel stupid for making that thread :V 

 

When some shit happened on the mainsite, the users would come to the forums to bitch about it as if the site just shut down the government. I think that's one of the reasons why the admins stopped posting to the forums.

Don't feel bad. I think everyone went through that "pity furries" phase.

A male playing with toys made for a girl?

collecting=/=playing, and idgaf if he was playing with toys made for a girl as long as he's not some creepy fedora neckbeard acting like it belongs to him. Besides, he listed perfectly male acceptable toys amongst those as well. Plus. He said "in the past"

im sure we've all been on that furry protection league phase when joining the fandom its not just you.One of my first posts was getting upset that furries are thought of as zoophiles.

 

@Maug oh, and, for a second when I glanced at your avatar once I thought it was Noah Gryphon. My bad

Out of everything I could possibly save.

Crystal honestly worried me sometimes her and the merekat girl they seemed to have a lot of problems but they were far to open about things that they should have talked to a therapist about rather than a bunch of furry weridos on a imternt forum

I want to be empathetic to some of these people who are clearly mentally challenged and seeing help for it but sometimes its very hard to, they need to at least interact in the community a bit rather than use it as their secondary therapy tool.

For me it's just that a lot of the time their problems are so stupid and clearly their fault that it's really hard to empathize with them half the time.

I also remember she stalked an artist on why she was blocked and the artist had to make a post explaining why.

+1 on the DD is cool. Which brings to mind her "finally i'm in labour" post, with some user going "then what are you doing posting in a furry forum?!"

Rukh_Whitefang!

For weirdness, that thread where a mainsite(?) user asked what to do about another user that stated that they wanted to "wear as many used diapers as possible at $con" (spoiler: the answer was contacting the organisers of the con, which resulted in one less diaper-wearer attending)

That's a reason why I stopped going. That, and I was focused on IRC. Then fired.

I still remember that admiral Ackbar dude who would request so much free art that we started drawing badly doodled sketches of him being squashed. I kinda feel terrible for it now, but at the time? No regrets. 

I also remember ripping many people a new one because they asked for free help on huge, for profit projects. Good times.

I remember one guy who probably made 10+ threads asking for help with some crappy racing game they were making. Usually stuff along the lines of "which car design do you think is better?" or "would this be a good game mechanic?" etc. He said it was so he made a game that people would actually like but it kinda seemed like he didn't want to do most of the creative work himself. It got really annoying after a while but I can't remember if he got infracted/temp-banned for it or not.

And i remember the Three Frags left board was turned into a rant fest over Nintendo and him expressing horror over PC Gaming. It was horrible till he lost it after being called out on it too many times. I remember how he turned the PS3 thread post into a nintendo war.

I can honestly say that I don't have any specific instances that stood out to me, and 99% of the people you guys are mentioning don't ring a bell for me, despite me having been on FAF for like 7 years or some shit.

Honestly the only real moments I remember was the 2006 Cub Porn debate, then there was the "OMG GUYS SONIC PORN IS BEING BANNED ENTIRELY" thing. Then the second cub porn thing, when Alertpay dropped FA.

I remember that but I don't really.. remember anything really big about it. I just don't have anything that REALLY stood out to me.
