Thanks to meeting Cali and Exiled (chairman and media relations respectively) I am now OFFICIALLY attending ConFuzzled as a media rep. I'm dancing inside... =D </p> http://robomilk.sirkain.net/forum/topic.php?id=175#post-479 Wed, 11 Jun 2008 16:00:05 +0000 ToriBelliachi 479@http://robomilk.sirkain.net/forum/ <p>Well I'm going to keep this short and sweet, it's been a bloody good year and a half, but I can't keep up. I have too many commitments elsewhere to actively maintain the whole range of services from Furry Media; thus only a few will remain.</p> <p>These are The Furtean Times, Furry Media Forum (primarily for discussing Furtean Times goings on) and in a way HORNET - although that was for my own personal use anyway and initially wasn't supposed to be public at all. </p> <p>As I said, I have found my place where I can do what I've enjoyed so much, but do it with much less pressure or requirement to do it alone. From now I will only have three main projects: The Furtean Times, <a href='http://www.myfursona.com'>MyFursona</a> and <a href='http://www.wikifur.com/'>WikiFur</a>, where I was recently made an administrator.</p> <p>It's been fun, but all good things must come to an end I suppose... </p> http://robomilk.sirkain.net/forum/topic.php?id=174#post-468 Sat, 10 May 2008 15:27:44 +0000 ToriBelliachi 468@http://robomilk.sirkain.net/forum/ <p>No, I won't be stopping it anytime soon, HOWEVER I may change the concept. Particularly in terms of how it's run.</p> <p>Currently The Furtean Times is a quarterly set of articles, all published at once around a particular theme (or tries to be anyway). These issues tend to be rather large and each comes with a unique design.</p> <p>HOWEVER, this method is very time consuming, and my life is getting to the point where I won't have anywhere near as much free time as I need to work on FT and other projects (eg, MyFursona.com)</p> <p>Thus I propose, following Issue 6, that the Furtean Times runs on a simple blogging platform. This will allow such new features as commenting, article ratings and whatnot while still facilitating the whole concept of a magazine.</p> <p>Added pluses include that authors will be able to post articles online themselves (although they will still need to be approved by the editor) and make comment on others.</p> <p>The main downsides are that the issues will likely lose their unique designs (unless I manage to facilitate this with a little PHP magic of my own).</p> <p>The schedule may also change, making the Furtean Times a smaller MONTHLY edition instead of a quarterly. We will likely carry the same content as we currently do.</p> <p>To sum it up...</p> <p><strong>Pros</strong><br /> * Quicker<br /> * Allows comments/ratings<br /> * Authors have more control over final articles<br /> * Integration into main Furry Media website<br /> * Easier organisation of articles by topic, author, etc.</p> <p><strong>Cons</strong><br /> * More restrictions on design<br /> * Will probably take some time to set up (although I have plenty of it starting in a month or two)<br /> * Probably one or two more</p> <p>Any thoughts on this furry peoples? </p> <p>(I'm also considering including more multimedia content, video reports, podcasts etc? But those ca nwait for another time.) </p> http://robomilk.sirkain.net/forum/topic.php?id=14#post-329 Fri, 03 Aug 2007 06:36:02 +0000 TheChainedWolf 329@http://robomilk.sirkain.net/forum/ POTATO!!! http://robomilk.sirkain.net/forum/topic.php?id=173#post-463 Thu, 17 Apr 2008 18:03:50 +0000 admin 463@http://robomilk.sirkain.net/forum/ <p>After somehow breaking the forums yesterday while upgrading to the new version of <a href="http://www.bbpress.org/">bbPress</a>, I finally managed to fix it! =D </p> <p>Unfortunately all posts from the last month and a half are gone, I should do backups more often really...</p> <p>I also changed the theme around, some parts may not work and the avatars are now gone (probably returning soon though) but I'm working on all those! </p> http://robomilk.sirkain.net/forum/topic.php?id=172#post-458 Fri, 29 Feb 2008 20:18:52 +0000 Chris 458@http://robomilk.sirkain.net/forum/ <p>Coming soon to Blue Pacman, a TV style show hosted on YouTube.

For example, <em>The Furtean Times's</em> first birthday. There is also a third furry study, the Furry Sociological Survey which is due to come out soon.</p> <p>I also think however, we should cover more furry topics. For example, reviews of comics, webcomics, furry films and books. I could review comics if anyone is interested. If there is a particular comic anyone wants reviewed, I'll look into it.</p> <p>Also, can someone remind me what date Issue 5 is meant to be released. </p> http://robomilk.sirkain.net/forum/topic.php?id=170#post-441 Fri, 25 Jan 2008 15:03:43 +0000 TheChainedWolf 441@http://robomilk.sirkain.net/forum/ <p>The nominations for the 2007 UMA are now open.</p> <p>All I can say is, "Please nominate The Furtean Times!"</p> <p><a href='http://www.ursamajorawards.org/nominations.htm'>Nominations enrollment site</a> </p> http://robomilk.sirkain.net/forum/topic.php?id=171#post-448 Wed, 06 Feb 2008 20:31:32 +0000 Chris 448@http://robomilk.sirkain.net/forum/ <p>Thanks to Tori, BluPac is now officially re-open, with a snazzy new design!

A furry Wikipedia article has made to the front page of the site. The article is about <a href='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furry_Tales'>[i]Furry Tales[/i]</a>, the furry musical. Not only is the article on the front page, but so is a photo of the creators.</p> <p>Sadly, this has lead to an increase in vandalism of furry Wikipedia articles, including a current attempt to delete the <em>Furry Tales</em> article.</p> <p>EDIT: Just as I finished typing this, I went to Wikipedia and the article is no longer on the front page. However, if you go to the article's talk page, you can see that it has been mentioned on the front page. </p> http://robomilk.sirkain.net/forum/topic.php?id=163#post-361 Tue, 18 Sep 2007 02:45:32 +0000 Sveykune 361@http://robomilk.sirkain.net/forum/ <p>*leap-attack-miss-fail-D:*<br /> pretty nifty site this is :3</p> <p>Yeah, I'm not exactly new to the fandom really, just into it for the art, until recently. now I'm planning to goto furcons n whatnot. making friends, conversing with others, playing SL (not recently though T_T), its pretty fun :3</p> <p>and I must say, it really does cure my boredom.</p> <p>short things about myself: I draw. a lot.

Thus <em>Tori Belliachi</em> becomes <em>ToriBelliachi</em></li> <li>A lot of the older posts are scrambled and do not contain line breaks nor formatting. I can repair these easily, but it's a very long manual process, so I only fixed recent postings;</li> <li>Things ARE going to be a little buggy, mainly due to the way that phpBB exports data and bbPress reads it. Usernames in older posts may be different, and the dates will be fairly buggy until the forum has settled in right. </li> </ol> <p>.</p> <p>However, thanks to a little tinkering on my side and the help of a few plugins...</p> <ol> <li>BBCode now works! Which it originally didn't;</li> <li>The forums can now easily swap data with the main site and vice versa;</li> <li>Avatars are still available, and if you don't set one then one is specially made for ya!</li> <li>The chances of there ever being spambots ever again is effectively zero;</li> <li>Tagging, which allows the regular forum goer to educate the site on what topics are about. This allows for quicker and easier searching;</li> <li>It's quicker! A lot of the useless addons you got with phpBB aren't present in bbPress, giving you a quicker more streamlined experience;</li> <li>Easier to code, more a nice little help for me, but seriously this thang is a whiz to code for. </li> </ol> <p>Enjoy it y'all! </p> http://robomilk.sirkain.net/forum/topic.php?id=153#post-313 Mon, 25 Jun 2007 12:52:51 +0000 ToriBelliachi 313@http://robomilk.sirkain.net/forum/ <p>The &quot;Cleo&quot; incident has been resolved on the online edition of the 'zine.
