Given the audience, it seems like a useful tag to have.

but why we would alias furpile to dogpile. not all furpiles are dogpiles.

there are furpiles that are not catpiles or dogpiles. aliasing furpile to any *species*pile does not make sense. also i dont think we need separate pile tags for different species.

I was only joking. A dog pile is a heap of people or any other animal, like puppies or rugby players. After what you said, furpile does sound more user friendly.

Though perhaps we should consider platonic_cuddle_orgy

furpile -> dog_pile as well

The only posts with fur_pile use it as a copyright tag. I dunno what to do about that.

If it weren't for this copyright I'd agree with the alias, but it kind of complicates things. Even using fur_pile/furpile as the "platonic cuddle orgy" tag would likely cause minor issues.

I've heard of "dogpile" used for this before and not as a species-specific concept but only in that "it's just what it's called" sort of way. It's only natural that there will be a furry version out there, but I don't know if there's really any other name for it.

cuddle_pile? Dunno.

Since dog_pile is a common term in English and "fur pile" is really just a play on that phrase anyways, I went ahead and approved this one.

For now I've just manually moved the ones in furpile to dog_pile and aliased fur_pile -> fur_pile_(game) to make it more obvious what it is for. I'm hesitant to alias furpile right now just because of the game, but I think only one user was uploading with fur_pile anyways.

Thoughts?
