I'm a grey muzzle also could be concidered a silverback. :D I was around when C/FO and ConFURence got started. It was so nice until the "Fetishes", "Lifestylers" and "others" began to drift in and began the infection that so permeates the fandom now. Such tragedy.

Are there any other gray muzzles (meaning someone who's been kicking around the fandom since 1994 or earlier) out there who feel this way?
*Chuckles at the thought of someone around since 1994 as an "old-timer"* Been involved in the unofficial fandom since mid-80's. That was when I first became aware that there was an actual organized group of people who loved "cartoon people." And then in the mid-90's I was present for the slow descent into hell, when one faction after another started trying to "define" furry, and the good artists and fans started fleeing in droves. I had my fill in 1999 and left the official famdom. I still keep contact with my friends, but like you find fewer that wish to acknowlege their involvement.
I gave up on the Velan Central Library long, long ago, and I don't dare go near any of the chan boards, lest I commit internet murder. I've reached the point where if not for the few friends and good people remaining I'd pray the Hammer to fall on the whole mess. It'd do these sorry escuses for humanity good if they had to answeer for their sick fetishes in their own communities. I would love to see the light of publicity shine down into their dark basements and catch them indulging in their perverse entertainments looking wide-eyed like a non-morphic deer in the headlights of public condemnation. I'd laugh my ass off watching them have to give an account of themselves to their few friends and family who "had no idea" what they were up to.
*sigh* Damn, that was a nice dream for a moment.
