Hello everyone. Been a while since I’ve updated ya and quite a bit has happened since.

First I wanted to let everyone know that while I’m overworking myself as always I am doing ok. Im very active on my local FD and loving every minute of it, and even have begun dive classes to become a rescue diver for the dept.

My mate, Jake is doing ok as well and has been working hard to get his carrier back in line. Love him so much and I cant stress that enough.

I have taken up the position of President for a newly formed non-profit as well, and we are getting ready for our very first event on October 12th.

I wish I could say this was all good news though. Those who have visited my page have likely seen how empty it is.

On Aug 22 2006 I started an account here on FA to meet new people, to watch my then mate, Kime Requiem, and little did I know it would be the start of a journey I didn’t expect to make. Back then I was known as Aeon Bosanova and I really didn’t know much about myself other than I was drawn into this world of furrys.

After meeting Lilpup at an event in NJ, I discovered babyfurs and learned about what they were and finally I felt comfortable about a part of myself I never really understood and in all honesty, hated myself for.

I began talking with cubs on FA, meeting Tavi, Tacki, and others along the way.

Then on March 6 2009 I took the step in creating a new account for my little side and boy was that a wild ride. I remember the first rounds of people going against babyfurs and even the conversations I had with admins about rules changes and how we could make both sides happy. I remember creating BFU and even helping create rules governing groups which FA still uses today. I’ve met Gemma, Saphy, Guba, Siddy, and so many others it’s crazy.

It’s been a little over 18 years now, and sadly I believe the ride here is over. I’ve been through a lot on this site. Getting engaged and the break-up a bit after, discovering new parts of myself I didn’t know existed, Hurricane Sandy, new jobs, new friends, depression, happiness. No matter what happened I always felt safe here.

That is until today.

Many of you have likely noticed this account has been stripped bare. This is because I have chosen to finally walk away from this place I have been a part of since 2006. It was a hard decision however I know what is coming for me. As I cleared messages and submissions and watches from this account I was shocked by the number of suspended/banned accounts there were due to the latest actions taken by the staff here. This site which I have called home, no longer feels that way. Its hard to say this but, I do not belong here anymore and its only a matter of time before this account too was suspended and banned.

So to those who still care and hang out here, I thank you. I thank you for the laughs and smiles, the artwork, the love and care you’ve given me, but most of all,

Thank you for helping me discover who I really am and for supporting me when I needed it. I love you all so much more than I can express here in words.

Thank you,
Rascal
