The end.

The whole 2 groups thing is a PAST issue. Do those groups still exist yes. The old groups were mailing lists, VFur and VAF. What happened was they were both one group then some friends wanted their own meets, spawning the other group. It is no longer an issue.

That is my understanding of the whole 2 groups issue.

you are correct kitten there used to be two groups Vaf & Vfur, they been around before I joined the local community, normally had their own separate events etc posted to their respected mailing lists. But over a period of time the forum came into existence making the mailing lists kinda obsolete. Plus a number of people from both side wanted to close the gap that was created or so Im told.
Alot of events are posted on the forums, if they are private type they are dealt with via email/txt even twitter.

I've been around for just over two years now. NEVER seen this "two group" issue pop-up. I'd say it's a moot point.

So the gap doesn't really exist anymore?, that's good. I was reading as if it was starting to form, not closed or closing up. That's a relief, hate to think I was getting in at a bad time.

Nope, its a thing of the past now.

Little late here, but I've been on vacation for a couple weeks. Coal, I'll be sorry to see you go. If you ever want to chat or whatever you've got my number and (I think) email.

The vfur/VAF split was eons ago - back around 2000, IIRC. Ancient history.

Firstly, sorry for hijacking the topic again, and sorry to hear anyone go, especially older members.

I was reading the post, and heard about a split, not knowing when it took place, thinking great, I come on here, post my first topic, and get responses, that almost felt like everyone was get their pitchforks and torches ready at me, and now I got to start choosing sides, thinking that this rift thing is starting, not long since over, like a decade old.

Again, my apologies to Coal for taking this topic away from the main point, and to say, live happy, and keep in contac with your good friends, furry or not.

Coal is a nice guy and doesn't deserve almost all of the crap he gets  :P
