i thought jokes were supposed to be funny. or is that something else that has changed over time?

What a particular person finds funny is subjective. Questions about whether jokes or humor are subjective are a bit more complex, but there is no question that "funny" is both separate from both of those (though related), and also unambiguously.

Humor generally refers to the sum of all things created to be funny. Whether or not something succeeds at being funny isn't actually relevant, since it's the intent that matters.

Jokes are a subset of humor, usually delivered verbally - that is, through written or spoken words, with certain structures to them.

"Funny" is a certain emotional reaction to some stimulus. Things can be funny even if they were never intended to be.

Slapstick, I think, is a good example of humor not based on jokes, while Bushisms are a good example of something many people find funny but was never intended as humor.

So yeah. Point being, they are separate things.

Well, I find that this is an opportune time to suck up to admins express how I feel about E6. Also, nice to see that we got drama two pages in!

Needless to say that I have voted E6 as the first. I have been here since 2011 and I can say with certainty that I have never seen website so well organized with, ironically, such a great community. Every time I visit this place, I am firstly reminded of the tagging system and I am completely in awe of it's power. E6 made me find things I've never thought existed and nothing like this would have been possible without the help of every individual that decided to upload or perfect the tags on this site. I am greatly appreciative of everyone who keeps this site running healthy, fast and full of anthro goodness, be it scalie or furry. According to what I believe, this is one of the biggest archival milestones, managing such a vast amount of content, all centralized and accessible to everyone. Such tidyness and order of content makes me feel so happy every time I think about it and I really have to stress how big of a project this is.

I truly want to thank everyone who contributes here and especially the people who keep such an amazing project up and running. I'll never forget the countless boners I lost because things made me laugh in the comments section below the pictures. I love you all <3

Not to be left in the dark, I also have to thank the artists who didn't pussy out and supported this site too. DNP list is just a sad list of people who didn't see the bright light that this site is and to those who approve of it, let alone upload their own artwork here, I give my hand to you, you're the force that brought this site up in the first place and kept it glowing bright as ever.

Sorry guys, but I feel that FA does a better job, yet I have placed you lot as second place. Although it was tight: FA doesn't have a blacklist feature like E6 has, and tags are not used as well as they are here, but I know the FA community better than E6's.

On a side note, I am happy Undertale made the list. Let's see if they can yet again dominate like they did during IGN's Best Game Of All Time thing.

I can't take this award seriously at all.

Part of why I can't take it seriously.

(IGN was never taken seriously, awards or not.)

Updated by anonymous

Well, I must admit I am hooked, despite never having played it myself. So, slight bias on my end maybe.

Still, I hope that this time, Inside Out can win at least SOMETHING.

They are called CollegeHUMOR for a reason. Everything they do is a joke and is not supposed to be taken seriously. Also, they don't just make fun of furries, they make fun of everyone, nothing is off-limits. You'd know this if you saw their other videos

It's called COLLEGEHumor for a reason as well. They focus on crude, mean-spirited frathouse "humor" that is directed to people who no longer have any common sense. I have seen their other videos, and they're not funny. At all. What they do is just as bad as SomethingAwful.

Bottom line is: Something as terrible, insulting, demeaning, trashy, deplorable, and unfunny as FurryForce should not have even been considered for the award, and just cheapens the value/integrity of the award since they did.

Bottom line is: You get triggered too easily.

So then tell me all the other furry animations that you think are funnier. I'll wait.

Oh. That's the one downside of using Serpent as a background theme, links don't look like links against a green background. Thank you for pointing it out, though.

Updated by anonymous

I voted just before it ended days ago. It has to be an honorary moment for it to be at least nominated for best furry site. Can't wait for the results at the end of May and I hope E621 wins!

Updated by anonymous

Honestly, I like FurAffinity and e6...

I find it kind of weird that a porn site won best website

It's not a porn site. It allows it, though. Are you just searching for porn on there?

Also no Bojack Horseman for best show, but Littlest frigging Pet Shop makes it on the list? People seriously watch that crap in an unironic way!?

Yeah, it's cool that about the nomination....buuut dear lord.... I'm not sure if the nominators are over 13...

The nominations are an open and public list. Literally everybody could sign up everything they wanted to, then people vote on them. Which means there is a high chance that there were a lot of 13 year olds involved, but that's the purpose of the open style; to have more candidates and more people participating.

Alrighty, the voting has closed. We'll find out who won on May 20th-22nd.

FurAffinity winning an award for best community? Ever? What a silly joke

At least the Rule 34 site cant enter, not that it would anyway. Its the very definition of lazy trash.

Maybe you should watch it for yourself instead of immediately condemning it because it's a "kids show".

If you've ever seen the TV show "Community", LPS is basically an animated version of that.

Congratulation!
I think that totally deserved.

We got nominated for an Ursa Major award!

What is it?

More formally known as the Annual Anthropomorphic Literature and Arts Award, the Ursa Major Award is presented annually for excellence in the furry arts. It is intended as Anthropomorphic (a.k.a. Furry) Fandom's equivalent of the Hugo Award ® presented by the World Science Fiction Society, mystery fandom's Anthony Award, horror fandom's Bram Stoker Award, and so forth. Anyone may nominate and vote for candidates for the Awards. These Awards are decided by the fans, not by a committee.

The category we got nominated for is Best Website; this year competing with FurAffinity, SoFurry, WikiFur, and Culturally F'd. FurAffinity won this award three times (2014, 2013, and 2012) and this is our first time being nominated.

A few notable past winners from other categories:
- Furry Force by CollegeHumor (Best Anthropomorphic Dramatic Short Work or Series, 2014)
- Twokinds by Tom Fischbach (Best Anthropomorphic Graphic Story, 2010)
- Dog's Days of Summer by Blotch (Best Anthropomorphic Other Literary Work, 2008)
- Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire (Best Anthropomorphic Game, 2014)

Everyone can vote and you can do so here: http://www.ursamajorawards.org/voting2015/

Vote for e6!

awesome way to go~

Only reason they won three times is because the other choices just didn't get enough votes. In order to win, you need to have more votes than your opponents :V

Not to mention there hasn't really been all that much significantly trafficked (which matters more than how long any particular website has existed) competition to FA until the last few years.

There's an edit button under your post for a reason. Please don't triple post without a major update.

Also, voting more than once is cheating and grounds for getting ALL of your votes disqualified.

Oh so it's a furry award. Thought it would be something more important...
Yeah, while this place is nice, FA has a better posting system. E621 is more of a more moderated Paheal (R34) with a focus on anthros - there still is a lot of not-anthro stuff uploaded which kinda makes it more of a general R34 site.

Incorrect. We have a focus on non-human animals, not anthros. In other words, Furries of the broad category (including: Furries of the minor category, scalies, featheries, the amphibious smoothies, maybe a few rockies too)

Hey, requiring an account for adult content is pretty useful--if a kid finds that site, they can't view the adult content. Honestly, parents should just keep track of where their kids go online and ensure they don't go to it themselves, but it is how it is.

Awesome! I support this website, it's not only simplistic and easy to use but useful as well, though i wish it had some features from sites like Derpibooru to make it even more simplistic and easy to find all your favorite pictures that include any of your favorite key words this site still does it greatly for me! Congratulations and good luck!

a paheal with an actual wiki and ? links next to tags that don't link to wikipedia of all places. plus people actually know how to tag and source properly here (which in turn makes the search function work vastly better too)...most of the time. if not, whats incorrect tends to be fixed by whoever happens to bother fixing it in that regard.

I'm not surprised that FNaF and Undertale are in for "best game". I mean, it's been popular recently.

where's the gun when you need it

Of course the shit-tier games would be "best games of the past year." Is it because "FURRIEZZZZZ XDDDDD :333?" Yes obviously. No answer needed.

Well, to be fair, this is a furry-related award and there aren't that many furry-related games that were made in the past year. In your opinion, what do you think was the best furry-related game(s) in 2015?

Yoshi's Woolly World, dammit! The best damn Yoshi game since the original Yoshi's Island.

Huh, I never would have thought about it that way, but that would qualify as furry, being Yoshi-centric.

i honestly believe that E621 will be great site in many years to come. to be honest, i had been lurking for years and never bothered to make an account until April 23th 2016.
as far i know, it certainly outrivals FA in terms of keeping eye on content, the moderation staff are friendly plus users being helpful. that's what most of sites out here like FA don't have.

so, yes E621 will be main furry site for me than FurryAffinity. i left FA because of my original account that got zeroed by a bad Moderator on FA over IMVU stuff. well, it was mistake that he made.. should have known that FA was gonna be partnered with IMVU lol

aside from that, i love my works and the way they make my fans feel about them, they just discuss things like real persons on finer points of art to digital art, 3D and more.
i miss their discussions.. great people. we do deserve E621 over FA and few sites lol

>A movie that doesn't even have "furry" characters (bing bong dun count >:L) takes it cause... well everything else sucked, so that gets a pass
>Undertale didn't quite yet spawn a cancerous post "lets play hype train" fandom, so bretty good
