Furcadia has been a huge part of my life for 12-13 years now, it's been a major creative outlet for me and I have met so many amazing people through it. Not to mention about 99% of my business comes from Furcadia users! I couldn't be more grateful for this game.

Hey, you're pretty darn involved with Furc's history and it's current state, given how many people on Furc use RPR. I wonder if they would involve you if you asked?
