It's an IP adress, all websites (and internet users) have one. Each section ranges from 0-255 IIRC. Basically, just a need identifier for all the servers on each site.

Also, Stoneth, kickassery.

Oh, ok. I know what IP addresses are, but I've never seen 'em in a URL before.
Heh, I'm inept.

I can understand what you have against Ruggels, since his comments were uncalled for and out of place. But Ruggels don't run Yerf, Dingo does.

Which comments were these, specifically?

Thank you for doing this research. The post was brouight to my attention and I will be passing this link to the other Moderators of Yerf, with the recommendation that she never be permitted entry to the site for such activities.

The Banrai Files while containing some valid information, ultimately served little more than the creation of net drama and malicious feelings toward Banrai from people she didn't even know. With all due respect, I felt that it was none of your business to step in.

Comenting is one thing, but recommendation that she never be let in to Yerf? That's really harsh. That's not reflective of the friendly, artistic improvement atmosphere of the Yerf that I know and love..

As far as I'm concerned, you only contributed to the problem. Of course, The Banrai Files are kind of moot and old hat now since Banrai has already made a public confession regarding the whole intellectual theft matter.

I also get irked when people make it seem that forgiveness is not an option, but that may just be my upbringing in which I was taught to forgive others.

Those are just my thoughts on the matter. I have nothing personally against you, Mr. Ruggels.

Is there a problem?

:shock:

What th-... ?!! How in th-...?!! When did y-... ?!!

HOLY CRAP, IT'S SCOTT F***IN' RUGGLES!!!

I've always been told that I'm shit out of luck on this, but do any archives of the Yerf newsgroup system exist? For years I've been wanting to see Hangdog's 9/11 blow-up and/or the KAK ATTAK.

There's a copy of the exchange on Eric Blumrich's Wikifur Talk page:

*rolls eyes*

Talk about a forum that shoots itself in the foot...

Ruggles is one of the ONLY people in the world of Anthropomorphic art that is sane and actually interested in NOT letting the pr0n-mongers take over (he's the first person who's ever given ME an honest and realistic account of how the fandom went south originally), and people over here feel the need to treat him like he's some kind of troll? 0_o

That is inexplicable. Ruggles is cool.

The truth is, Banrai drama isn't particularly interesting. All that's left to be said about it has been said.

Talk about a forum member generalizing...

Well, you're right about that. I was certainly generalising. I didn't imagine that MOST people here would be against Ruggels, but the attacks posted back there just seemed rather... ridiculous.

Then again I tend to be paranoid and mistrustful, particularly around boards where the infighting gets as vicious as it does around here. *shrug*

But it's interesting to hear how this little monolithic anti-furry conspiracy forum looks.

banrai are you done with the drama now

because seriously this thread

It was taken down to conserve bandwisth I believe.

The presence of this page is one of the big motivators for spam signups: the page is a great way for the unscrupulous to get a load of backlinks to their site(s) via the link in the member profile which is displayed on this page. Often, the signups will use names starting with exclamation marks so as to get on the first page of the list.

Also, once you have more than about 50 members, the page is unusable by real visitors - it is just too inefficient for finding information. On a busy board, it is a total waste of bandwidth. Your real users can still get at all the information they want for another user by viewing that member's profile via the link next to one of their posts. Of course, if anyone signs up and doesn't post, their profile is unlinked - so even if they have put a link to their site in their profile, it is not visible.

Hey, I haven't posted again because I said my oppinion. That's it.

In any case the site seems to be working fairly well, and is stable, and most importantly has a back up plan now. It may be a few weeks before new art gets posted, and the applications are open again, but things show progress for a change.

To the return of Yerf! Perhaps we might get a fully functional Yerf as a Christmas present then (or if not a slightly late one)?

What you don't know is that it IS already fully functional





sorry geek spasm

of course as is the case with all forums and boards only the administrators will have access to the superlaser.

I think a better analogy would be:



"We are teh Yerf. You will be assimilated. Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own. Resistance is futile."

Umm... no? For unlike the Borg collective, Gaia Online and VCL, Yerf actually requires effort to become a part of.

I seem to remember David Gonterman once had a Yerf directory.

But a superlaser is useful for disposing of the massive ammount of furry por er art that isn't suitable for yerf

the massive ammount of furry por er art that isn't suitable for yerf

But then all you'd have to do is rupture the warp core coolant tanks and the coolant will liquify...

Understandable, but the moderators, and myself take a very dim view of art theft, and tend to not allow one an oppotunity to join, as long as they maintain the practice. The emphasis should be on originality, at least in public.

I'm still waiting for a new Yerf-like gallery... but with admission policies that are more along the lines of "If it's good, and if it's clean, you're in". The pretention in the apps process was beyond belief. For the love of all that is not warped, it's fine to have limits on what's appropriate, but as long as it's anthro and clean, please don't tell us what to draw! :x I have half a mind to submit stuff I like, and would like to post on Yerf... and then post links to other art just to prove that I've earned the right to do what it is that I like to do. Then again, I've never applied... maybe they'd like my stuff enough to just let me in. :D

Clean, Experimental, not much there, and I threw it up last weekend. I basically want to see if an art archive coupled with the concept of a wiki will work at all. Don't cry to me if the bandwidth quota gets used up real quick though, I'm not paying jack shit for it right now.

I can trust you guys not to vandalize it, right? Cause I am headed to bed.

Interesting idea. Methinks that I'll have to sign up right now.

*Edit* Done and done. Sample artwork up and ready for evaluation. Hopefully I didn't vandalise anything, and if I did it was purely unintentional. Honest!
