See the nice thing though is this was old enough to be from the usenet days, and a lot of that stuff is still archived around if you know where to look... a lot of it was just mass archived indiscriminately too so most of the archives don't even know what they have since no one really knew what they had and just stored it all just incase. So knowing that I decided toss the word "chakat" into a few archives I know of and if we go
here we can find this:
Which can tell us a few things, first of all we can see how degenerate their origin point was in '98, because seriously, that shit reminds me of fucking bronies saying "everypony" . We can also see his view on the copyright of chakats in '98. The actual content isn't important, its that sig under it that might tell us some stuff
We can look a bit lower and see him provide us with his real name and alias... which means we can see he wasn't too private about it even back in '98.
We can see he is from Melbourne, Asutralia... and what is that ICQ#... well... its a zombie social media... messenger... thing... I don't really understand this and seems useless now, but amusingly if we go
here to a slightly less modern version of the "Chakat's Den" (
Archive) we can see that number is still there. So he held onto it for a while. Also fuck this bastard for audio that autoplays on going onto his page. I support his death for just ever having done that.
We can see a (now dead) website there, which from all I can tell by reading that URL and comparing it to what I can dig up is just an old dead iteration of the previously archived and linked "Chakat's Den" might be worth looking for an archive on that I guess, and then we can see a funny little string...
Now, this confused me... but then I remembered... sleeping on the bed not 10 feet away from me is the closest thing to a sane furfag I've ever met, and as I was typing this she woke up to take a piss. I showed it to her to see if she could recognize it, and oh boy did she reveal what it was... its a furry code, which when I asked for details she said "its something the really degenerate ones use", apparently no, my pet furfag does not have one so I can't tease her about it once I am done here. Also apparently its pretty old fashion, so that means I should see if he still uses it, because he might now.
Well let's see if he has it still on that previous site, as well as the most modern version I know of, found
here (
Archive). Spoiler, yes does he have it on both cases. So let's put these together here, sorted by when the sources appear to have been last updated:
These haven't changed much, and I found a way to decode them right
here. So each of those above is just a link to an archive incase the site goes down and someone reads this in the future and doesn't want to find their own way to reverse engineer it.
But we can learn a bit about him now from this, and some of this is boring, but we do get some gems:
His furry species is apparently a feline-taur (no fucking surprise) specifically based off of a mountain lion apparently. He also uses it as "a general alter-ego, someone to draw pictures of, a MU* character and someone to write stories about." Yeah, all of this is encoded in that "FMt3admw" segment.
We know he puts his art out there for others to see and contributes to other's collections, and that he is he's active at conventions to the point that he has been involved in the running and/or organization of them.
He owns and wears a fursuit where costumes are expected, but not where they are uncommon or not expected, so at least he isn't totally socially inept. No lols here sadly, but it means we should hunt for some fursuit pics to laugh at him.
He accepts hugs and may give them back, which is boring.
He is apparently involved in a furry Multi User Dungeon, going all the way back to '97 up to the modern day. Which surprised me, I thought I was one of the only people alive still playing MUDs.
He has some plushies, so more boring, but he doesn't just have some, he has several of them, and they aren't of just one character.
He, hilariously, prefers "realistic" furries over cartoony furries. Bernard "Chakat Goldfur" Doove, creator of the fucking Chakat fucking prefers realistic furries? What the fuck? Does this mean he thinks his abominations are realistic? He's tolerant of the cartoony degeneracy BTW.
He's into transformation, but he wants some say in it, likely so he can turn into his degenerate creation.
He's sold books about being a degenerate, or containing his furfaggotry. No surprise, but this is recent, as back in the older tags he had only published stuff in furry zines.
His fursona is a herm and, as the kids say, DTF. No surprise.
Considers himself unspecialized, or "Jack of All Trades".
We can get his age at each of these BTW, 41, 43, and the most recent puts him at 58. So we know that some of these are out of date for when he posted them.
He's competent enough with a computer, considering he makes ugly ass websites, yeah I am forced to agree with him. He's competent. Not good though.
He's fucking indifferent to fucking the great id Software shooters of yesteryear, and looking at his age and he held this opinion in '98 he's clearly got something wrong with him, because sure, you can argue they've aged poorly by today's standards, but fuck, dude was fucked back in the day.
He apparently has some education beyond high school, but he doesn't seem to have a degree. Likely fucking dropped out of college.
He's been known to "bark at friends to great them" or rather, he openly and publicly displays his furfaggottry towards his friends.
He typically lives with non-furries, but for a short time he was alone but other furries would potentially visit him during that time.
He has a furry website, which we know. He also apparently browses the web regularly. Shows the age of this shit eh?
He's apparently a weeb too, but the level of weebiness has increased since he was 43, to the point where he's watching a lot of it apparently.
He didn't have pets when he was 41 or 43, but he does have a few now, lets just hope he's not fucking them.
Oh, also he admits to being male, but doesn't want to say if he is a virgin or not.
I actually learned how to fucking
read that code by eye to some degree without using some decoder while researching and comparing several furcode decoders for this. Fucking kill me.
