[edit] History and services

Initially a Yahoo! Group, the community moved to a website format in 2003. Apart from the website and forum, there is also an IRC chatroom, a Furcadia dream by Flinch Ferrex, a LiveJournal community (moderated by Polaris), and a Frapper page.

[edit] Community's goals

Furry Teens is designed to be a place where a lot of creativity can be expressed by artists, writers, gamers, and other furry fans. Furry Teens also encourages open-mindedness and innovation, along with giving and receiving support on "growing up" topics, and helping new furs better understand the furry fandom. The group aims to provide a safe haven for young members of the fandom, primarily minors, who are often unwelcome at other furry sites because of their age, and continues to grow in members and features. Furry Teens eventually hopes to even hold meets for members to associate, and the site already has enough members to facilitate small gatherings at furry cons.
