I went as far as to join a Discord server and DM someone asking for help finding the old Furcadian festival maps. It was a Herculean effort on my part and it went nowhere because they didn't have them. To be honest, I entered a period of darkness for a day or two, because I was starting to feel like I was crazy for caring this much about things even the archivists haven't bothered archiving.
Then I went back to my bullshit.
I've updated the links section with every webpage I found of particular note. That's 130 pages! I found a lot of people's personal websites that I didn't include as they weren't very Furcadia-relevant and often they were just one page saying "coming soon". But there's so so so many pages here with people's character backstories, their guilds, old screenshots, fond memories.
And wouldn't you know it, I did find 7 more maps:
Here's some ideas I've had rattling around:
- Most of the links are probably not interesting to anyone but me. I would like to add descriptions, also dates.
- Most of the commonly-reappearing maps would get chartered as a "guild" in order to claim a spot in one of the hubworlds. All guilds were posted on the Furcadia website with their coordinates. I could make an interactive map that displays guilds where they were located with a link to their archived website.
- I collected a lot of old screenshots. A screenshots page might be in order.
- I'd like to archive all of the free graphic patches that have been distributed, but that is going to be a considerable undertaking.
- I have found a lot of people's midi collections as well. This I was considering making into a WOW project, basically I dump them all where people can listen to them and write them down in a spreadsheet or something. Could be its own section on the site.
