This page is about the furry web hosting and social networking site. There is also a Russian furry gallery known as FurNation.ru.

FurNation is a website specializing in furry social networking, and content sharing. On 8 December 2009, the site was shut down by its owner, Nexxus. The site was reborn as a Ning-hosted community on 23 December under the control of Reyedog. Hosted sites were restored at the start of February 2010.^[1] As of June 2010 it had over 7000 registered members.

As of late November 2010, it is now a self-hosted furry social network containing galleries, music and video upload, forums, and chat.

FurNation operated FurPlanet, a small adult-oriented comic publishing unit/online store, producing titles such as FurNation Magazine until FurPlanet was purchased by FuzzWolf in March 2008.

[edit] Services

FurNation was a major establishment in the online furry community, providing a centralized location in which to find a variety of furry related content. In that time FurNation had gained not only a name for being a major player in furry information, art, and stories, but also a reputation for its periodic downtime. Some of these times have been relatively short, while others have been quite a bit longer. Because of this, many who maintained web space on FurNation also have another website.

[edit] Second Life and Furnation

As of December of 2009, FurNation Worlds and FurNation's web-presence are not the same entity.

FurNation in Second Life is currently maintained by Corsi and the FurNation Worlds admin team.

As of Jan 2009, there were fourteen sims, FurNation Alpha, Dragon, Dystopia, Fusion, Gryphon, Hell, Heroes, Noosphere Prime, Phoenix, Polaris, Prime, Purgatory, Vista, and Zagerion Forest.

[edit] Game server

As of 2011, FurNation has a Minecraft server at minecraft.furnation.com

In April 2012, the Minecraft server was shut down.
