Back when I first got into the fandom, it was very easy to meet people and make friends. Hell some of my best friends now are people I met online, or at a con by just walking up and saying hello or them doing the same. Now a days that kind of stuff doesn't happen, or if it does it happens much less. I feel sorry for younger furs, because they won't really know the joy of being able to walk up to a suiter and just hug them and bam new friend, or having someone do the same to you. Or being at a dance, or at a meet, and just be able to meet new people. The furry fandom has become very cliquish and trollish over the past several years, and rather they try and fix that issue rules get put into place to protect the special flowers at the risk of the group. It's very sad again to me, that new furs will never know how it was, or get to experience the fandom the way I did for almost 20 years before it started to go to pot.
