SoCalFurs is the official website catering to furries in the Southern California area of the continental US.

[edit] History

The initial website was an idea and creation of Southern California furry, Crassus. It came online in 2001, administered by Dark Fox, followed later by a Yahoo! group and mailing list created by Alias Foxx, and a LiveJournal community created and maintained by Space Wolf.

Initially called the Southern California Furry Web Portal, it was changed in 2003 to the simpler "SoCalFurs" name, along with the addition of its present mascot, Tamerlaine, drawn by female furry artist, Megan Giles (not to be confused with Dume, a temporary mascot designed by artist Jonas for the Fur-B-Q flyers, which later started on a webcomic of the same name.) Both Tamerlaine and Dume are copyrighted to their respective artists.

Dark Fox remained the site's administrator until 2006, when he handed the reins to Stego S. Aurus for personal reasons.

[edit] Resources

The site contains a links to the SoCalFurs' Yahoo! Group, notice of upcoming events, and archives of previous ones, a "Furry database" of "Who's Who" on SoCalFurs", "SoCal hot spots" (i.e. the best type of gathering places for any future furry event), a links page, SoCalFurs notices boards, and a Fur-B-Q update page.

A #socalfurry IRC channel is also hosted on Anthrochat, and on FurNet.
