MFM 2020 Virtual Con
5 years ago
The Virtual Con was rather fun, and it was great being able to hang out with a lot of the regulars on the MFM Discord Server:

(which is still up and running)
Their video content presented on Saturday, is now available on their YouTube channel:

While the text chatting on Discord was fun, the main events were the various Video Chats which took place.
Although I do not have a mic or camera on my old PC, it was still a delight to hop in to watch and listen to what others were saying and doing.
Being a virtual con, I couldn't take any actual photos, but I did do screen captures of some of the video chats, which at least captures a little bit of what was going on.
I posted those pictures to the various text channels on the Discord server, which corresponded to the rooms the video chats were held in.
So, they can be seen in the 'fursuiting-text-chat', 'evergreeen-text-chat', and 'mimosa-text-chat' channels on the server.
An example of one is from the Ice Cream Social party on Saturday evening and posted to my Twitter page:

On Sunday, it finally occurred to me that I could try doing a video capture of the video chats.
While the resources on my old PC caused the capture program to crash a couple of times and forced me to do recordings in small chunks, I did get a few videos of BushyCat's "Sax and Violins" virtual panel.
You can see these videos on my youtube channel:

I wish I had thought about doing some video captures sooner, for some of the scheduled panels that took place on Saturday.
Anyway, despite not being with everyone in person at the Whispering Woods, the Virtual Con turned out to be a fun alternative.
Hopefully, people will continue to use the Discord Server to keep in touch until we can all see each other again in person, next year.
My thanks to all of the staff and volunteers who worked to put this together.

That little bit of contact with familiar faces really brought home just how much I missed going to cons this year.
