FurNet (IRC)

From WikiFur, the furry encyclopedia.

For other definitions of FurNet, please see the disambiguation page.

FurNet, a major furry IRC network, was created to replace Yiffnet after it was shut down in 2001. It is the most popular furry IRC network at present - between 800 and 1150 users are connected to its five servers at any one time (as of January 2006). With its large user base and a wide selection of established channels, it tends to attract the majority of furs new to IRC.

FurNet's web site includes a list of European and American servers which you can connect to, and links to suitable software for a variety of platforms.

For political reasons, the channel #furry, which one might expect to be a premier channel on a furry IRC network, is often virtually empty and idle, a victim of the dispute which led to the formation of Anthrochat.
