Furrum
From WikiFur, the furry encyclopedia.
Furrum was a short-lived furry forum with almost 400 users, including several self-described /b/tards. The forum hosted sections of a mostly furry nature, including a smut section and a 4chan board. Furrum has since been integrated with the new Yiffy International Yforum

[edit] History
Beginning on June 12th, 2008, Furrum was raided by the Patriotic Nigras, a griefing group on Second Life, and /b/tards.[1] It began with flooding of the forums, escaliting to "Denial-of-Service" attacks after a few days.
This eventually led to the site's web-host closing it down, due to the raid's high loads on the server, which started to affect other customers hosted alongside Furrum.[2]
The Patriotic Nigra wiki claims that Furrum was raided and DDoSed because of:
| Their blatant acceptance for bestiality, diaperfaggotry and delusions of irl magical powers |
In fact, there was only one thread about beastiality and diaperfurs which was quickly denounced by most members. Another stated reason was that:
| A handful of Furrum furfags such as Afevis, KKMD and WarszawaScream were caught spamming 4chan with their furfaggotry in an attempt to advertise their forum |
[edit] Site relaunch
Based on an e-mail sent by the forum's web-host (and posted on the Furrum front page,) they may reactivate Furrum in "a few days" if the raiding stops.[2]
On June 28th, the front page was changed to state that they will "be back soon" and members should "stay tuned".
During this time Bad Karma Networks reimbursed Dakcoon for his year's domain registration fee and assumed management of the site [3].
Furrum has been integrated into the Yiffy International Yforum as the Furrum Lounge. It serves as the topical discussion section of the forums.
