Title: How long have you been a furry?
Post by: AirRaiser on March 30, 2010, 01:28:27 AM
Seems like every one here is not only young, but just becoming a furry. I want to know how long you've been one? For me it's been about 12 years now, and I've had my character for 10 of them.

I've known the name for it and been a part of the community for almost three years. I think I've really been one all my life though.

Well, I've been a scalie since I was thirteen or fourteen-ish. So around five years. I didn't know what it was for sure until my junior year in highschool since my boyfriend called me out on it, and I didn't know what he meant until I looked it up. I had to discover the fandom, but I was one of those weird kids who pretended to be an animal every day, so I feel I had something like it in my life always. But kids are kids, and I guess it doesn't count if you didn't know. XD

Probably since I was about 4 or 5, I just loved those Sonic games so much, I just found the thought of anthropomorphic characters to be really fascinating :3

Huh, I'm not exactly sure when I became a furry. I know I technically was one for a long time, but never called myself one until some months ago. By looking at artwork I've made I'm guessing I've been a furry since 3rd to 5th grade, which would be around five to seven years. But I officially joined the fandom in December 2009.

I officially decided to become a furry about 3 months ago, but had known about the fandom for about 2-3 years before. I am loving it so far, and hope to remain a furry for my whole life :P

I've been an 'unofficial' furry (that is, being one without knowing that I was) since I was about seven, but I only began to actually realise that it had a name when I was roughly eleven. I'm 18 now, so I've been a part of furrydom for around seven years or so. How I've only just found this forum, I'll never know...

God I dunno..... Since I came out of my depression I've been rediscovering things about myself all the time. Although I reckon I was furry well before that. I was always acting animalistic, and always felt a link to the planet....

Pretty much involved as soon as I found the fandom, really. Forgot the exact date but I believe it was mid-March 2009. How I found is forgotten, but I remember the forum of a webcomic.

depends on what you consider to be 'a furry', i would say i have been one my whole life, but really this is the first community i have joined.
Title: Re: How long have you been a furry?
Post by: RakJak on June 03, 2010, 06:14:24 PM
23 now, been a furry since either late 17 or early 18, so roughly 5 years. As Eeptog pointed out though, if community matters, then I'm brand new to this being a furry business. I've lurked elsewhere, but this is the first real community I've joined.

Technically u could say im not one officially because the most honest ive been about this is on this forum, and no-one in my real life knows :$

Unofficially i hav been a fury since i found out what it was about 4 +1/2 years ago when i was 12 aftr seeing Lucario for the first time, although like many others i would say since i was 3 +1/2 because of my attachment to reptillian athropod toys and dino models along with a dragon that i still have :*

I was one of the lucky ones to be born one. Yay!

Altho for a while after I watched a show with my dad.. I started hiding it for awhile... it was painful.. I hated every second of it, but I had to.. but it just got to a point where I could not stand being in the metal shell I put on. My fur wanted to be free, my muzzle wanted to nuzzle... So yeah. It was punishment and pain that I wish no one could suffer through...
