Furry 4 Life, also known as F4L, is a furry-themed G-rated social networking site created by Shy Matsi Lupine, aimed at furry lifestylers. Furry 4 Life has a sister site, the Furries Xtreme social networking site, that is adult-rated.

History[edit]

As of December 27th, 2015 the site was shut down but restarted up in 2018 however the chat sever has been shut down and is now on discord, with no Estimated time of going back online.

Shy started the site in August of 2008. Furry 4 Life was built using Ning, a service that allows one to create their own social networking site.Huskydoge/snowy is a donater to the furry4life and updates this wiki. As of January 6th, 2018:

  • 7,121 Member Accounts
  • 133 Member created Groups
  • 14,873 Photos
  • 143 Videos
  • 1,000 Songs and other sound files
  • 120,560 Forum Topics
  • 500 Events
  • 100,000 Blogs

In 2016 the Furry4Life website was revamped and brought back online to the public in the beginning of February. The new website now running on the Dolphin framework is hosted on a server, as opposed to the previous years being provided by Ning. Due to complications with information transfer the Member Accounts, Groups, Photo, Videos, Songs, Forums, Events, and Blogs were all lost in the transition leading to a new start for F4L. All members who had previously had accounts with F4L must now create a new account to join the website. As of April 18, 2016 however the site is back online as of 2018:

  • 890 Members
  • 44 Groups
  • 2897 Photos
  • 39 Videos
  • 2 Polls
  • 23 Blog Post
  • 73 Forum Posts

In the transition a lot more was lost including a large amount of key features making F4L what it was. Live Chat took a dramatic hit and was hosted on Telegram and still is. In April 2016 Furry4Life published a new Live Chat feature with a large amount of capabilities that previous chat systems did not have. As of now this is the official chat room for F4L.
