[edit] History
Furry-Within.com was created in late 2007 by Azhtek Je-Nckos with the original intention of being a simple place for him to "screw around with code," and "see how long it takes for me (Azhtek) to break it." It soon evolved from that stage in a matter of weeks, as users soon began to trickle in, and Furry Within became something more of a community.
After its initial stage as a testing ground, it soon became a place where user input had a quite significant impact upon the direction which the site was to be taken. It was a community where users didn't have to be of furry nature, and could relax in the freedom that some sites restricted.
Sometimes jokingly described as a "dynamic website" by its creator, modifications, changes and updates are made nearly on a daily basis. These range from minor tweaks in the forum's settings to new sections of the website. Below is a list of Furry-Within.com's significant updates.

[edit] Users
Furry-Within.com currently has over 200 members, more than 65 of whom joined when another furry community, Furgasmic, closed down. As the site is adult in nature, there is a strict "No Minors" rule in place, which the admin and moderators enforce with age checks where deemed necessary.
[edit] Competitions
Furry-Within.com began the running of competitions in February of 2008, with the intention of drawing more users to the website and giving people something to do with the effect of potentially winning something for their efforts. Competitions so far have mostly been based around users submitting creative works revolving around a particular topic, or simple games.
So far, users have had the chance to win $80 worth of artist's commissions, a Zeta Creations toy, and a 4GB MP4 player. All prizes are paid for by Azhtek out of his own pocket.
