In the late 80's and mid 90's bulletin board systems were a popular way for computer users to communicate. BBSs worked much like modern forums, but users would typically dial in using a modem and connect directly to the computer hosting the BBS. Some also supported connecting over the internet, but as always-on internet connections were uncommon at this time, very few BBSs were connected to the internet.

BBSs with boards for every imaginable topic existed, a few of these bulletin board systems even catered to furries.

Unfortunately, these bulletin boards started disappearing as high speed internet connections became more accessible, and those few bulletin board systems that catered to furries appear to have disappeared with them.

Several of the BBSs that catered to furries were a part of a network of bulletin board systems called FurNet, which was a part of FidoNet.

/u/Nurbs and I are working on a bulletin board system running synchronet BBS. We are interested in any information on these furry BBSs or copies of any of the files and messages hosted on them.

Hi there furries!

I have been aware of the furdom for quite a long time but I've never paid that much attention really until a while ago.

I've always have a lot of "weird" friends being in fandoms (mostly anime) so I know about how people in fandoms get stereotyped, but also that mostly they are good (albeit a bit odd) people, and I've found that pretty much every furry I've encountered online has not been anything like those negative stereotypes, in fact they've all been really pleasant people.

Now I've been in a fandom myself for a couple of years, and ever so often I encounter furry stuff (most on dA) and I'm started to grow more and more fond of it. There are also a lot of good friends I've met through that fandom who also are furries as well.

Well, I can't really stay in the closet anymore (or is it like a burrow?) – I'm furcurious. It feels pretty good. I'm a lot into fanart and that's mostly what's attracting me. I've always been an animal lover and even if I found the art style(s) a bit odd at first it's grown on me a lot, I want to try to draw some myself.

I must say that I don't know a lot about the fandom, maybe you can help clear up a few things. For once thing I know there are a lot of forums and conventions out there for furries. I know a lot about the negative stereotypes but I don't believe in them.

• AFAIK the furrydom doesn't revolve around a single book/television/film series like most fandoms, what brings it all together?
• I'm not sure if furrydom includes both animals walking on 2 and 4 legs, I've seen a lot of both styles and personally I like the 4-legged creatures more.
• Furrydom seems to revolve a lot around fursuits, but are there other kind of "niches"? What are some elements of say a furry convention.

I hope I didn't ramble away too much (as I usually do). I'll look forward to reading your answers.

The book is called "The God of Small Things" by Arundhati Roy. The book is about a family in India. Rahel is a young girl and Baby Kochamma is an an old grandmother. In the book the family ends up in the middle of a communist march and this happens:

A man with a red flag and a face like a knot opened Rahel's door because it wasn't locked. The doorway was full of men who'd stopped to stare.

"Feeling hot, baby?" the man like a knot asked Rahel kindly in Malayalam.

"Don't answer!" Baby Kochamma whispered hoarsly. "Look down! Just look down!"

The man with the flag turned his attention to her.

<You can see why I started to laugh, but it gets SOOOO much better.>

The man like a knot gave Baby Kochamma his red flag as a present.

"Here," he said "Hold it."

Baby Kochamma held it still not looking at him.

"Wave it," he ordered

She had to wave it. She had no choice. It smelled crisp and dusty.

"Now say 'Inquilab Zindabad!' "

"Inquilab Zindabad," Baby Kochamma whispered.

"Good girl."

The crowd roared with laughter.

A shrillwhistle blew.

"Okaythen," the man said to Baby Kochamma in English, as though they had successfully concluded a business deal. "Bye-bye!"

<The teacher could not understand why I would not stop laughing.>

Not necessarily a furry, but I would like someone to talk to about things... vague and weird (and maybe a little drunk.) sorry.

Hey /r/furry, i've been wanting to get a commission done for my fursona for a while and was hoping someone could give me a few names with open commission slots for a high quality image.
