Ning to drop free services; communities face fees
Posted by GreenReaper on Mon 19 Apr 2010 - 21:23Social networking platform Ning is to withdraw free services, disappointing many non-profit educational and social groups, including furs.
Furry 4 Life, FurNation, Furry United, Colombiafur and The Furry Den are based on Ning, with F4L and FurNation already paying for ad control.
Zenon Tigerpaw, founder of Furry United, had two words in response to the news: "Oh shit." He later announced plans to move to a new host.

Posted by Aureth on Fri 12 Sep 2003 - 21:00Like ER a couple of years ago, another popular TV series appears to be planning on using furries in an upcoming episode. CSI is planning an episode involving a murder victim found in a racoon suit who turns out to be 'part of a group of people called "Furries" who dress up for sexual pleasure.'
In addition, it appears that a southern California furry fan by the name of Dark Fox is advising on the script.
Christ Can Help Furverts!
Posted by Anon on Mon 7 Jul 2003 - 18:53Purging Inhuman Sexual Orientation with Christ, (PISOC), claims to be
a Christian organization whose aim is to help furries to escape, much
as if Fur Fandom were a mind-bending cult. I'm not sure whether they
seriously mean it, but I can't imagine anybody on the right side of a
lunatic assylum's door taking them seriously!
Especially note their "10 quick facts" about Furry.
For instance, did you know that you've been castrated? Are you
snickering yet?
