Furrs Fur Christ will be holding the service #cff  (home of The Christian Furry Fellowship, of which Oren Otter is the pastor) on IRCStorm IRC network on Friday January 23rd at 9 PM Eastern. If you are attending use your IRC client or one of the following web-portals. Primary method: http://www.taur.net/~ottercomics/monastery/cff.shtml Auxillary method(goes to same place): http://www.freejavachat.com/chat.php?chan=cff Crusader Cat will be providing (some of?) the music. Don't know who is MCing. I will be one member of the security staff trying to be extra sure that trolls don't interupt the service or whatever. For those of you who didn't know him here are a few links that I copied from a post on another forum by Ian the Gecko: Quote Here was his porfolio website: http://jessebirch.com/ and his furry site: www.yuoofox.com Our prayers are with his family and friends, both in his local area, on the web, and wherever else he may have touched lives. I have been requested to mute unknown people so that any potential trolls will not have a chance to disrupt the service, so if any newcomers don't seem to be heard when they enter stuff, that is why.

That's terrible news.  Yuoo kept this forum alive almost by himself for quite some time when I first opened it up.  I hope he knew that he had many friends here on the forum who will miss him very much.

Rest in Peace, Yuoo Fox (1980-2009).

I also learned of his passing a short while before Redtail did and was both greatly depressed and shocked, even if I didn't know him all that well.   Still, I'm going to miss him and his contributions, and can only wish I would have commented on his ideas more when he presented them.

Oh man, this is terrible. I wish his family and friends the best.

that's extremely sad news.    I didn't know him well but saw him post and seemed very nice.

I hope his family and loved ones take care of one another.
