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 1286^[1] and 1838 users^[2] are connected to its seven servers at any one time (as of 2008 October 24). 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.
