Hi All!
My name is Arentor Iceshine and I'm a gay Indian furry (what a mouthful lol). I've recently just stumbled across this forum and it's great to know that there is a community in South Africa!
I'm a chartered accountant by trade. I enjoy gaming and have been quite involved in the MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV on the Zodiark server. I also like anime and series too and am a fan of MLP (Any fellow bronies here?).
I sometimes dabble in poetry and on the art side, I cannot draw to save my life!
It's a pleasure to meet you all!

Greetings!

Wouldn't necessarily say I'm a "brony" but I have been watching the show consistently since it came out and a friend of mine wouldn't shut up about it haha. Feels a bit weird that the series finale is showing today(!?), bit like the end of an era. Seems to have kinda been the year for things ending.

Anyway, there is a thread for other places you can find the local community, here: viewtopic.php?f=86&t=4160
The forum isn't a very busy place, it seems, but there are a few furries hanging around in the country at least... once you know where to find them.

Hello, Arentor. There's a couple furs here that are into accounting, I believe. Strange.

I didn't realise we were so close to the end! I haven't caught up. I'm only about half way through the season. I'll have to do quite a bit of watching over the weekend.

Always nice to meet other fans though! I can't believe it's been 9 years! Truly amazing.

Yeah, it's exciting, but also saddening. It's been a good run though.

Oh snap, a fellow CA! Hello Arentor and welcome to the fandom! :P

With gaming, anime, and series as interests, you are bound to find a lot in common with many of the local furs.

As Elysium eluded, a lot of the action takes place on Telegram and Discord, although I feel he underplayed just how many of us there are: there's a surprising number of us split between different groups and platforms. Telegram is probably the more popular platform at the moment, and fuzzbutts is probably the most popular group on Telegram, so that would be a good place to start!

Anyway, cheers, I hope you enjoy your stay and find many friends here! :)
Hahaha! :lol:

I pretend to be a brony when it suits me... I have a ponysona but sadly I'm not as clued up on the show and movie as I should be... But one day I shall return to Suff Efrica and meet you and you can fill me on stuff!!!
