I for one am excited about the creation of the AFA, having helped behind the scenes now for months (I also created the organization's logo). The topic of "the AFA may misrepresent/try to change what the Furry Fandom is about" has come up in different discussions all too often, but the answer stays the same; the AFA is going to exist for bringing community together, not to dictate what is or isn't Furry. Informational databases within the AFA will be able to cover history of the fandom as well as other forms of information, but if a fur decides not to be a member of the AFA they are no less furry than the ones who decide to be part of the AFA community.
I have seen nothing but a professional approach thus far and I am proud to be part of it. I think it will be a valuable asset to the Furries of America. :3
