Title: How Did You Get Here?
Post by: Cecilia Peromi on February 28, 2016, 04:41:49 AM: I've got a little problem that I think you guys can help with. I've been asked how I came to find this place and why I joined but, I can't for the life of me remember!

So this is where you come in: I want to know how you got here, why you came, and why you've stayed.

HOWEVER:

Don't be confused, I don't want to know how you came to the FANDOM, I want to know how you came to the FORUM! If you feel like you need to give some background then fine, just remember the question.

The idea was to find a forum for furries and join it. Lol

Post by: Cecilia Peromi on February 28, 2016, 06:10:05 AM: Both stories remind me of my own, but I haven't reached that "aha" moment yet. Just keep telling your stories and maybe I'll figure it out. Good job guys!

Post by: Cheza on February 28, 2016, 06:30:12 AM: Didn't fit in on either of the Finnish or the Swedish furry forums for various reasons, so I decided to try for some sort of middle ground by finding a international furry forum instead.

And unfortunately for all of you, this was the first one I stumbled upon.

Post by: Crest Is Dead ((For Now)) on February 28, 2016, 10:08:04 PM: I came to the fandom the same way i came to the fourm, a friend.
Title: Re: How Did You Get Here?
Post by: Rocco Rex on February 29, 2016, 01:22:28 AM: I had been in the fandom for about week. I bought an iPod touch off craigslist just because it was a great price. It took me a couple days, but then I started searching for furry websites. Came across this one. I came because I'm 18 so I wanted to figure out who I am, dive into the newly found fandom, and figure out what exactly happened on a forum website (Internet access is heavily regulated at home).

Why did I stay? I LOVE it here. Being a furry is a part of me. And it is fun being able to communicate with other people, especially people who share a common interest with me. And I can finally escape from home and daily life here.

Post by: Alonzorion on March 01, 2016, 08:23:31 AM: 2007, Google search. :) Didn't really make use of the forums until late 2009 though and barely did then until last year.
Title: Re: How Did You Get Here?
Post by: Firox on March 01, 2016, 11:29:16 AM: Not really sure, I think I was searching google for something (to be honest, can't remember what it was), two or 3 topics where similar to my search result - started to explore the forums, added it to my bookmarks (forgot where I saved the forum link).
Then kind of forgot about it for 2 months (before I joined), I searched through my old folder of bookmarks for another site I had saved bookmark refound the forums - decided to join (it's now one of my two main homepage tabs).
Title: Re: How Did You Get Here?
Post by: Cecilia Peromi on March 01, 2016, 03:23:41 PM: Hmm... looks like I need to dig through some of my old posts.
Title: Re: How Did You Get Here?

Title: Re: How Did You Get Here?
Post by: PossumDeMort on March 08, 2016, 01:02:09 AM: I was looking for an actually active forum, the art ones are pretty dead most the time.
Title: Re: How Did You Get Here?
Post by: Halei-Helai on March 08, 2016, 01:15:36 AM: Googled "furry forum" and found here. I was a member of another forum for a while but that place had maybe a dozen posts a day, most of which weren't really discussion sorts of posts, so it bored me. This place is a lot livelier and as far as I can tell is the best fit for me.

Post by: Silaluk on March 08, 2016, 01:31:30 AM: I too just typed in "furry forums".
Title: Re: How Did You Get Here?
Post by: Eesha on March 08, 2016, 03:55:13 PM: I was in the furry fandom for quite a while, but I didn't knew anyone in it, so I thought "Hey, I should meet people, let's search a forum !". French forums are pretty empty, so I searched an English one, so there was more people, just typed "furry forum", and like everyone, here I am ! ;)

Why I stay ? Because you guys are sweet, no hate or anything, there's also some good advices here, and really interesting people.

Post by: Kara on March 15, 2016, 07:46:04 PM: Deviantart. I was searching "Deviantart Fursuit tutorial" Because some good tutorials are on there, and the "Fursuit and cosplay" popped up. >.>
Title: Re: How Did You Get Here?
Post by: Dexter Dare on March 22, 2016, 07:40:15 PM: i was curious on how to make a fursuit head and came across a few sites (for diffrent opinions) then when i became a furry i refound this site ^_^ basically the same as the others XD
Title: Re: How Did You Get Here?
Post by: Udldu on March 23, 2016, 11:59:49 PM: I was once part of the FurAffinity Boards (Now known simply as the FurAffinity Forums), and was taken aback by the passive-aggressiveness/hostility and drama lurking everywhere. I silently quit there and searched for another forum to register an account for.

And poof.
Title: Re: How Did You Get Here?
Post by: Wolfie the Umbreon on April 14, 2016, 07:33:53 PM: I simply got here because I was interested in joining the fandom, and I found this site as the most active and attractive.
Title: Re: How Did You Get Here?
Post by: CrazyCat on April 15, 2016, 06:41:12 PM: Was interested in joining the fandom. Googled "furry online forum". Found this place, decided to join. Left for a few years, came back.
Title: Re: How Did You Get Here?
Post by: YourUnknownHost on April 19, 2016, 12:52:05 AM: Googled furry forum XD
Title: Re: How Did You Get Here?
Post by: Ori on April 24, 2016, 12:46:06 AM: I was originally from Furry teens a forum pretty much like this, except (As you can guess) it was for teenagers. I liked the forum, but I was curious to find newer people on other sites, and since there is a teenage furry site, I figured their had to be one for older people. I searched up furry forum and Huza! Found a general furry site!
Title: Re: How Did You Get Here?
Post by: Ron on May 18, 2016, 02:33:07 AM: google, curiosity and boredom. As for stuck around. I haven't. I simply pop in every once and a few blue moons to see what's changed. Nothing here really kept me coming back longer then a few weeks or months between views.

Post by: Panda on June 02, 2016, 03:26:32 AM: Yeah I think I just Googled it ????

Post by: Armalite_ on June 02, 2016, 05:34:10 PM: The first time I ever heard about furries was on 4chan.../b/ to be exact.

The rest was me googling what it was that I saw on those boards that changed my life many years ago lol
Title: Re: How Did You Get Here?
Post by: Nutmeg on June 02, 2016, 05:55:22 PM: I was curious about why some furries wear collars outside, and I wanted to see what type of collar people had. The first result that came up was the collar thead here and it was a really interesting read! After a little lurking and fursona creating I decided to become part of the forum ^_^
