Hello to everyone at Furry Forums,
You can call me Bear, if that's not too generic, or GB. I've been a lurker for some time, and I'm looking forward to chatting with all of you!
When I say I'm somewhat new to furry, that's no lie, so forgive me any ignorance. My previous experience with furry fandom was on the game Furcadia - though, I use the term 'game' lightly, as you likely know if you're familiar with it! I spent a few years there, back about five or six years ago, as some of my close friends were a part of the furry community and into wolf pack role-plays and such. I never felt like it was really for me, until now. The internet is a more difficult place for social interaction than it seems (at least, for me it is) but furry fandom as a whole strikes me as a warm place. You like animals. I like animals. I hope I will find even more common ground with some of you!
With that said, I have a few questions:
1. Does the furry community tend to lean very young, or would you say most are just young at heart? I was under the impression that it had quite an age range, but it seems most furs I encounter are college age or even younger. There's no shame in either, of course, but I assume one of you will know better than I!
2. Other than this forum and FurAffinity, which seems geared towards the artistic side of things, are there any sites you recommend taking a look at?
Any other advice you deem important would be helpful as well! Thank you for reading, and, in advance, it's nice to meet you.

Welcome to the forum and fandom, GB ^^
I've seen furries of almost every age so far. Most are around their teens and twenties, though as previously said, furries of all ages ^^
As for any other site, I do not really know specifically for furriness. I've come across a couple of other sites, but none are so open or decently active as this one.
Hope you'll have a nice time here ^^

Welcome to the forums I know you will have an amazing time here :) I have met a lot of furries and most of them,as previously said, are in their teens or twenties but I have met some that are older than that. Other furry sites... That's a tricky one. It depends on what kind of site you want. Some are more active then others. Got any questions then PM me anytime :) once again welcome to the forums

They kinda already answered the questions, but I wanna answer too!
1) Yeah, there's a very large age range, not only on the Furry Forums, but also in the regular world. Some people are very secretive, and others are very announced on their "furriness".
2) Well, I use DeviantArt (the name can be revealing or misleading, your take).

Welcome to the forum.
I hope you like it here.
There is indeed a large quantity of younger members on the forum, but we aren't without our older members.

Hello to everyone who replied, and thank you for answering my questions.
I did a Google search of furry websites before I joined this forum; since I'm unfortunately not much of an artist, this one seems like it was the best choice after all.
I'm sure I'll fit in just fine here. I look forward to getting to know you all!
