On Monday, November 13, 2023 organizers from Further Confusion announced on "X", formerly known as Twitter that they have fallen victim of a hotel booking scam.
In their post organizers shared that "ProBusinessTravel.com", a third-party booking company sent emails claiming to offer hotel bookings for "Further Confusion 2024: Pixilated".

IMPORTANT: "Further Confusion DOES have an ongoing agreement with the San Jose McEnery Convention Center, their executive organization Team San Jose, and other interested parties in relation to our contention space." - Bliz Fox, Further Confusion

Author: (FFNN) News Team
Fur-Eh! the largest anthropomorphic convention held annually in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, posted on "X", formerly Twitter on Wednesday in an announcement that "..Con Chair, bcbreakaway, is no longer a part of the convention.".
In the announcement organizers state "we believe it is important to be transparent with our valued Guests, even when it's not good news." This has some guests and followers a bit confuzzled to say the least.
Organizers assured guests that the event is not going anywhere and that they are currently on the hunt to fill the now vacant Con Chair position.
*FuzzFeed News has reached out to Fur-Eh! Organizers for additional information. We have not heard back at this time. We will post updates as more information becomes available.
Beloved Furry Apparel Brand Nomad Complex is Sunsetting Operations
Date: 07.19.2023
Author: (FFNN) News Team
Furry apparel company Nomad Complex Announced today on its Twitter account (@NomadComplex), and their website NomadComplex.com that they will be selling out their stock and "Sunset Nomad Complex".
In a written statement on their website the company thanked the community for its "outpouring of love and support" over its 8 years of operation. The company shared that it has come face to face with many obstacles including a major increase in orders, issues managing the website backend and frontend, increased costs, and inadequate staffing.
It seems as thought the final straw for Nomad Complex was their lease renewal being rejected. The news has been devastating to furriers familiar with the company. Nomad Complex is not new the the fandom and is one of few furry apparel brands. In their statement titled "The Future of Nomad Complex", they pose the question "Are you disappearing forever? What is the current Plan?". Their answer, "The only answer that we have for you right now is; we don't know.".
In response the the question above they say that they are taking things "step-by-step". The company is being transparent and not shying away from the obstacles that would need to be overcome in order for Nomad Complex to return to its operations.
Furries are referring the news as "heartbreaking" and "devastating" as they react on Twitter. Many thanking Nomad Complex for its contributions and support over its 8 years of operation. Another furry apparel brand, Camp Howel, responded to the news stating "We’re so sorry to hear. The pandemic hurt us deeply and almost put us under a few times. I hope the best for y’all’s team, and I hope this isn’t your final chapter. Take care of yourselves and best of luck."
Though the future of Nomad Complex may not be certain, it certainly has left a lasting impression on the furry fandom, which is hoping to see the beloved company return stronger than ever in the not so distant future.

New to the Fuzz Feed News Team, Papa Barks is a fundraiser which raises awareness and funds for ALS research and has been trending on Twitter and Twitch. Founded by (@marks_barks), Papa Barks encourages furry streamers to participate in the Papa Barks live streaming event. Furry streamers host a variety of live streams and in return ask viewers to donate to Papa Barks.
There are a variety of streams to watch and participate in. Streamers taste exotic foods live, cook, sing karaoke, create art, stream in fursuits, and play games! We had the opportunity to drop into a Twitch stream with two cute and silly furs Puffin Aardwolf (@arrdpuff) and Siggy (@LittlestSiggy) who were streaming a game called PlateUp!
The game takes place in a restaurant and the objective is to take orders, cook, serve, clean, and upgrade the restaurant and equipment so players can serve more customers. Viewers could enter a code in the chat and see a character with their user name enter the restaurant and take a seat. Once seated they could enter a different code to order off the menu.
Siggy worked the front of the house taking orders, washing dishes, cleaning, and serving viewers. Puffin worked the kitchen cooking, plating, and emptying the kitchen trash. Viewers could either make it easier on Siggy and Puffin and order a rare stake which was simple to cook and does not take long to prepare, or they could order a burger with a bun, hamburger, tomatoes, and onions to make Puffin work much harder to complete their order.
Puffin and Siggy shared plenty of laughs and engaged with their audience for hours while collecting donations and sharing information about the Papa Barks fundraiser. Check out their latest Twitch Stream below and consider donating to help them meet, or better yet excceed their fundraising goal!
