Happy Monday!

We wanted to stop in with brief updates and announcement.

Forms and submissions for the Community Video project as well as questions for the Town Hall are officially closed! Thank you to everyone who participated in these. We are eager to share what we have all been working on.

Entries to the Furry Musician's contest have also closed! You can follow their page for more updates on things on their page over at furrymusicians

Some of the FA staff will be at Fur The More this week to sell merch in the dealers room as well as host Dragoneer’s Celebration of Life on March 9th at 12pm EST.

REMINDER: The Celebration of Life is FREE to attend, you do not need to register for the con to be there. You will only need to register if you plan on visiting other areas of the convention outside of the Celebration.

That said, we have put together a profile badge for those that have stepped up to help or shown support through all this.

Requirements needed to qualify for the badge are to have done at least ONE of these things:
* Donated to the GFM
* Purchased merch Neer stickers or pins from the Shop
* Submitted art to the Community Video Project
* Sent in other media or stories for the Celebration of Life event
* Attend the Celebration of Life in person
* Attend the Celebration of Life virtually
* Volunteered/helped with the event (even if just online prep)

You can fill out the form to get your badge here: Form Link

We cannot fully express how grateful we are to the community for all your help over these past few months. We would not be able to continue without all your help and support. We know this badge is a very small token in comparison to all you’ve done for the site but we hope it can convey our appreciation.

There will be another reminder for the event day of, so those who cannot attend in person can still stop by virtually if they’d like. It will be hosted on Sciggles’ Twitch account. We also still have items from Neer’s inventory that his mother asked us for assistance with selling, those will be posted in the next few weeks. Once we get through these last few hurdles we promise there won’t be so many posts and reminders on this. It’s been a loooong 7 months. Thank you guys for being so patient with us through this.

We have some really good things lined up to talk to you all about once we return home from the event. A lot of good questions came in for the Town Hall. Reminder that the Town Hall will be on Sciggles’ Twitch as well on March 15th at 1pm EST.

On an unrelated but exciting note, we're happy to officially release Display Names for FA+ members!

As part of our current approach to providing progress milestones for our development flow, we've also brewed up Display Names to act as a stop gap for renames. Renames is by far the #1 requested feature on FA after Tag Blocking. This, unfortunately, is not a full rename system due to infrastructure limitations, but we encourage you to stay tuned for future information regarding our next steps in that area!

Display Names are non-unique alternative names for your account.
FA+ members will have early access to this feature for a couple months to help us test the system and gather feedback so we can make it the best it can be for public release!

If you are interested in trying it out and sending valuable feedback please consider subscribing to FA+ here. We've also added in multi-month AND lifetime FA+ options for purchase on our official shop page!

Current restrictions on naming are pretty straightforward:
* No hate speech or slurs.
* No NSFW content.
* Maximum of 30 characters and alphanumeric (for the time being.)
* Site policies still apply. (For example, impersonating other users/staff is not allowed.)

The Display Name field can be found on your Profile Info page. All changes will be logged and the last 10 Display Names will be publicly viewable. If you find any bugs or issues with display names please report them here: Display Name Feedback

We hope you all have a good week and if you are traveling stay safe! We look forward to seeing you around.

FAQ

Q: Why are you paywalling a basic feature?
A: One of the perks of supporting the site with FA+ is getting to "beta test" new features. This will be pushed to public to all users as soon as any bugs are worked out!

Q: Why did you change how mobile looks? We prefer the previous design!
A: This was an unintended change! We are working with the tech team to get the layout style changed back while keeping the display names on them.

Q: Will there be a cooldown on changing display names?
A: There is a 24 hour cooldown currently!

It's because Sciggles is a huge, profiteering, fucking cunt! Even after all the donations to Furaffinity in Dragoneer's legacy by the flock of Furry sheep, the bitch still wants to profit as much as she can before selling the site to a company such as Bad Dragon, while she laughs on the way to the bank, and posts videos of her with her boyfriend of the month, sipping Tequila at a tropical Island beach.
