Epic Five Year Post of Maximum Relaxation (and Carnage)
January 16th. FA turns five.
It's been five years since alkora first started Fur Affinity. A lot can happen in five years, and we've come a long, LONG way. Over 360,000 users. Almost 3.3 million images have been submit to the site. Untold terabytes of data transferred. It's amazing.
In that time, we've gone from one server and soon to be... seven. We've got almost 128GB of RAM fueling our boxes, and enough storage space to make even the most die hard nerds feel envy. We've lost five hard drives, one motherboard, one RAID card and a few sticks of ram along the way, but it's been worth it. We've survived two ninja assassin attacks and a kamizake blimp that zeroed out in our the ol' FA HQ with intent to kill (we're happy to say the blimpy harmlessly bounced off our building).
Five years is a long time. In dog years, that's... uhm... well, I don't know how to count that high, but it's HUGE. At least 42 years worth of huge compressed down into an itty bitty single serving morsel.
We're happy to have been here during that time, and we appreciate all of those who've stuck out the good times and the bad, and to those whose F5 keys are mere speckles of plastic dust scattered into the wind.
PS: If you haven't, check out my journal for some awesome 2009 stats!

No worry in that department. Mother Nature will take care of the blimps! She has before!

Happy Birthday FA!~

Oh my... age five is the time when mass destruction begins in a childs mind... *Hides* DUCK AND COVER!!!
Nice to submit an image on you're birthday as well. Five years and still running!
Wait... so uh, you ain't playing, about a blimp threatening to destroy FA as we know it?
Happy birthday, FA! *^^* And thank you for teaching me more about the furries, than I would had wanted to know. Ever. ^^
(Seriously, though... downtime and all, ^^; it's been an awesome run! And here's hoping it never ends!) ^^

yay \o/ happy birthday FA, cute as always Fender ^_^, now to go get some wine and celebrate :P
Ironically, Fur Affinity still isn't old enough (in human years) to view much of its own content.
May there be many more years filled with terror and epic drama. Huzzah!
Happy Birthday Furaffinity and Happy birthday starting my fifth year as a servant of the Furry Fandom!
Happy birthday FA. I would have said it yesterday, but I was away in Holland at the time. Still, better late than never. :3
Fingers Crossed, clutch pressed, find gear six, let's rev up! Thanks for the five years so far, let's all have a happy six!
I almost mistakened the bridge for the brooklyn ridge. But hey it's neat anyway, to snack on one!
FA deserves so much much more praise that the one we can give to it, srsly.
FA is five years old,
That's as many as five ones,
And that's AWESOME!!
Happy b-day

YAY! 5 great years of creativity, friends and open mindedness! *hugs*
the day after my birthday and FA turns 5? wow.
all I can say is I plan to stick around for the next 5 years, and if our fuzzy rears are still around, even longer.

Dear FA
You make me feel both overwhelming happiness, and crippling depression...
I'm one of your drama children.
I love you.
Here's to another mood swinging 5 years

Good lord. Now you make me want to go and grow to the size of Godzilla just so I can rampage around town with something to drink.... *gets a coke*.... at least I got the drink part out of the way.
Still, glad you've been around for 5 years, you've helped me overcome my problem of lying to myself about who I am. You've all helped me express myself and be more of who I really am. Without FA, I would not have near as much support for my drawings, nor the courage to say that I'm a furry to people around me.
So, here's to another 5 years (and hopefully many, many more) of FA, and another 5 years of awesome submissions from furries and what-not all around the world. Here's to another 5 years of music and poetry and stories that some people would not dare share with anyone else.
And a special thanks to all those who have helped me get going here on FA.
Here's to ALL!

I remember when this place started. It hardly had anyone on it and it was slow as Hell. Man, times have changed. (for the better) Happy Birthday!
Thanks FA for making me realize I'm not alone in the world. ^_^ Happy birthday. *huggles*
Alas, blimps. They're harmlessly bouncy, but do tend to ignite into glorious flame if the conditiosn are right.
Not big on macro at all but let's see if this can last until 2014.
It's not "downtime" so much as it is... as it is, uh... us giving you time to catch up on all the OTHER things you need to do. =)
I love FA. I'm so glad there is a site like this! I'm telling you, there's nothing better! It's like furry crack for me!
Happy Birthday FA. I really appreciate all the things this website has for us. I hope FA will live forever and ever.
HAAAAAPY BITHDAY FA! Well. Seeming I've only been a member for 3 days I can't really say much that means everything. SOOOOOOO, I'm finishing here
What makes this more epic: Submission number 3277777

Yay for FA turning five, and man I feel bad for that blimp, did you atleast poke it with a stick before it left to make it feel worse for it's failure?
k I know i am late but Happy B-day FA... im gonna get some jagermiester out of my liqour cabnet. cheers
With the power of this fully operational website, furries will rule the internet!
Happy to know that this site has been around for five glorious years and may it prosper even longer!
I hereby declare that, at AC this year, everyone needs to get together and sing a really cheesy FA-themed rendition of Still Alive.
I wish I was his giant girlfriend. We'd go around town, crushing peoples & eating giant food. :D
Yay! We are still running riot across teh internets! X3 ^^ (Btw, check my art maybe?)
WoooW!! que historia. esperemos por mas años de Furaffinity.net online. CONGRATULATIONS FENDER!!! :3
are you friend with Godzilla or is the giant thing a coincidence X3
The shading on this was done very well. Before I enlarged it, I thought it was a render.
Above me is an unfunny 14 year old who got suspended.
WHY AREN'T I SUSPENDED TOO? FUCKING DO IT YOU WORTHLESS CUNTS JESUS NIGGER
WHY AREN'T I SUSPENDED TOO? FUCKING DO IT YOU WORTHLESS CUNTS JESUS NIGGER
I know this is old.. but I don't care... that is one sexy beast. :}
I rember not so long agow back 2009 macro was a small sub part of the furry cummunity - now its about 40% of FA XD how times have changed
Considering most of this site is ran by macros, this isn't surprising
