Could we have a neither option? :p I really don't know what to expect, but I'd say it's going to grow on a steady rate like right now

Really don't know how to vote. There would be something to be gained and something to be lost in each scenario.

Yup, and I'm curious what direction others would like.

Thank you :3 Anyways, I was thinking the same thing as you guys, if we go on the steady pace that is happening, I think we won't have that many problems. Plus, I have a hard believing the furry fandom would become mainstream, or at least by how it's defined now.

Tight nit all the way! Were all so friendly and interesting this way. (Not to say anything would change if we went mainstream).

I would say that we are already mainstream.
There is no central furry forum so we're definitely not tight knit.
I also would rather it stay mainstream than tight knit because it's becoming it's own culture. If it's somehow made to be an exclusive group, then people will lose interest and eventually it will die out.

Also want to point out that there are furry supremacists out there and they're far from nice people.

Mainstream as in well known and people don't automatically think furries are gross perverts

I have begun to accept the unfortunate reality of the Undertale fandom: popularity often times brings (More) negative attention. I like the way the furry fandom is, despite only being in it for the stunning total of six of seven days. Everyone seems to recognize each other. It makes the community more of how the furry fandom is supposed to be portrayed: kind and open. With attention brings unwelcome visitors (The kind of person who does awful things in the name of their fandom.), who otherwise would not even consider us.
