    This morning I started reading a new webcomic about foxes, and also read about the origins of the word "yiff". :D

    Welcome, both of you! So many new faces since the beta.

    Isn't yiff something dirty though?

    It's apparently the noise a fox makes when excited. Such as during mating. Hence, it became a word used to describe sex in the furry fandom.

    So THAT'S what the fox says... Just... Wow...

    Plus I can't seem to update the server. Sterbernd has just updated and we're going to have to wait... sadly...

    It's more or less a joke inside the fandom at this point. At least with what I've experienced.

    Don't forget about the acronym version: "Young Incredibly F*able Foxes" (though the modern variant switches foxes with furries).

    The new patch just came out and fixed some of the ridiculous damage values.

    you used a cat face emote... Ever watch a flash animation series by Wonchop and sponsored by Weebl called "Cat Face?" it is a great little series :p

    Wonchop is actually a furry, a monkey one at that. He lives in the UK and was well known on newgrounds.com

    Yiff means "yes".

    Long ago, some foxish folks in the fandom adopted a bit of animalistic language to replace "yes" and "no", as well as include a few sounds in between to indicate a neutral responds, somewhat positive, and somewhat negative responses. I don't recall them all exactly, but from negative to positive, it was something like Grrrf, nrrf, merf, yerf, and yiff. Growlf, growf, yarf, yaff, yip and yiff (Edit: Thanks wikipedia). It .. sort of caught on for a while.

    It got the sexual slant from the somewhat oft overheard "Yiff! Yiff! OH GOD YIFF!" from those that were getting it on in some of the chat rooms, and that sort of play became playfully known as "yiffing."

    And now you know.

    How long should I wait before adding new members interested in playing on the server into the convo? Just add them as soon as they ask or wait a bit?

    Also who all still needs added to the server IP group? just quote this or @menation me.

    I want to try out the server. Hopefully I'll get less lag than elsewhere. :p

    And that story about yiff made me giggle.

    I'd like to be in, even though I don't really play much Starbound yet.
