For other definitions of FurNet, please see the disambiguation page.

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 1534^[1] and 2000 users^[2] are connected to its seven servers at any one time (as of 2009 June 27). With its large user base and a wide selection of established channels (856-904 visible channels and 927-975 reported channels during 2009 June 26 and 27^[1]), it tends to attract the majority of furs new to IRC.

FurNet's web site includes a list of European, American and Australian servers which you can connect to, and links to suitable software for a variety of platforms.

For political reasons, the channel #furry, which one might expect to be a premier channel on a furry IRC network, is often virtually empty and idle, a victim of the dispute which led to the formation of Anthrochat.
