Yiff/Yiffy hasn't aged well as a word, particularly after the CSI episode used it. People tend to groan when hearing it more often then when the neologism first appeared. As time went on there were those that realized that though they once embraced those words it was time to change their name or risk isolating furs who don't like that particular nomenclature.
YiffStar became SoFurry, for instance. Others of course stuck with their guns. It's times like this where I'm sure that SoFurry are glad they made that decision, despite the grief they may have gotten at the time.
