WildCritters are furry imageboard/art archives and communities in the style of e621, Furpiled.com, and other Danbooru-based boards.

Contents

[edit] Genre

Theoretically they specialize in cute chibi, cub, and/or feral furry art, typically of an erotic nature. Characters with body types that fall into most of the aforementioned categories are referred to as "critters". Most of the art tends to be Japanese Kemono.

Art featuring exclusively humans, adult human-shaped anthros (full-anthros), taurs, and characters with other body types not considered "critter" are not typically permitted.

[edit] History

[edit] Change in ownership

On July 21st, 2009, The original website went through an unusual change in ownership. The site switched between the hands of Dunkinbean and Furvy to Spike. Due to this the site underwent fundamental changes.

[edit] Shutdown

On August 1st, 2010, the site went down due a security hole. On August 17, the site reopened after switching servers.

[edit] The Split

Due to disagreements among members and more fundamental changes to the original site, a second website was created on December the 3rd 2010. The two sites follow different ideologies. Wildcritters.ws believes in opening up their definition of "critter" while Wildcritters.net believes in keeping a refined definition. Currently they both run under a similar version of Danbooru and Rails.

[edit] Copyright Infringement

In a journal[1] posted to Inkbunny on October 26, 2011, the administrator of wildcritters.ws commented upon an artist's request to have artwork removed from the site; said request was denied. In the journal, Spike maintains the opinion that his website falls under fair use, and that the audience should be able to ignore the creator's rights in order to have access to their creations.

[edit] Filter

Wild Critters has no built-in mature-content filter, but like SoFurry, images can be filtered by placing ratings on the tag blacklist.
