'''Furs For Christ''', formerly known as '''Furrs Fur Christ''' (also known as '''FFC'''), is a small community geared for [[Christian furries]] and [[anthropomorphic]] artists.

* '''Addresses''':
** '''Website''': http://www.fursforchrist.com/
** '''LiveJournal''': http://community.livejournal.com/furrsfurchrist/
* '''Founder''': [[Razi (animator)|Razi]]
* '''Administrators''': Razi, [[Aidyn Fox]], [[Eagle's Flight]], [[Firekeeper]], [[Hunter the Dog]]
* '''Ran from/to''': January 2005 - present

== History ==
Furrs Fur Christ was created by [[Razi (animator)|Razi]] who hosts the site herself. The forums are also moderated by [[Ian the Gecko]], [[Gypsi-Rae Leonine]], and [[Sleet]].

In July 2007, FFC was ranked #3 on [http://www.cracked.com/index.php?name=News&sid=2271&pageid=2 Cracked.com's "WTF?!: The 8 Strangest Communities on the Web" list], above [[Second Life]] at #5. This prompted a flood of unregistered guests and some new registrations; as a result, the administrators closed off most of the site to non-members and created a membership application to help weed out spammers and trolls.[http://www.furrsfurchrist.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2602] Later that year, [[Something Awful]] featured FFC in its Weekend Web article [http://www.somethingawful.com/d/weekend-web/furs-bigfoot-multiplicity.php "Furrs for Christ, Multiplicity, and Bigfoot Forums"]. The article includes screenshots of the site along with sarcastic comments about the contents of the screenshots. This led to another flurry of guests viewing the site, some of whom spammed the membership applications section.

FFC members as a group attended [[Rocky Mountain Fur Con]] and [[Anthrocon]] 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011. Their activities included Bible studies, a Sunday service, attending panels and sharing their faith with other furries.

In October 2011, FFC moved to a new domain, FursForChrist.com, with a new name, forum, and image gallery as well as social networking capabilities, most of which are buggy and work poorly.

== Resources ==

FFC contains a forum where followers of [[Wikipedia:Christ|Christ]] who also appreciate anthropomorphic art can relate to one another and discuss relevant issues. It also houses a clean anthropomorphic art gallery, which is not limited to “religious” art and welcomes deep, non-Christian, non-anthropomorphic material as well. Since the move to the new domain, users can also create custom profiles and join private discussion groups. The forum is primarily focused on providing a place for furs of opposing viewpoints to argue, with the combative atmosphere increasing return visitors.

Christian Furs (forum)

{{cleanup}}
{{unref}}
'''Christian Furs''', aka '''CF''', is a newer forum and multimedia gallery aimed towards [[Christian furries]].
*'''Addresses''':
**'''Website''': http://christianfurs.net
**'''IRC''': irc://irc.red-king.org/christianfurs
*'''Run from/to''': Nov. 19 (official opening Dec. 2), 2008 - Present

==History==
What may seem like a clone of [[Furrs Fur Christ]] was actually thought up before the administrator, [[Flechmen]], even knew about FFC. An offer on [http://mybboard.net MyBB Community Forums] along with unease of more traditional furry sites gave Flechmen the idea to create the forums. Although the offer on the MyBB Community Forums did not come through, a few responses to a thread on [[Fur Affinity]] drove him to make the forums anyway. The forums were first officially opened December 2, 2008; however the forums were first up and running by November 19. The opening was delayed so a proper domain name could be purchased.
Web hosts came and went, Flechmen worked for most of them as part of the support team. The forum and all of its daughter sites (galleries, wiki...) are run on a dedicated server donated by [[Wolfin]].

==What makes CF Different?==
The administrator claims that the major difference between CF and other Christian furry forums is the combination of forums and multimedia galleries (that are separate from the forums), as well as the use of "more user friendly" software.
The forums, although aimed at Christians, are open to anyone who wants to come. The Christian parts of the forums are hidden to most, even regular members. When someone registers, they are sent a small, opinion based questionnaire via private message. Upon return of this message, a regular member is given full access. This is to help control trolling and flaming.
The administrator of CF also posts a prayer each day in a forum that is visible to all members. A daily devotional is also posted each day automatically.

==Team Members==
*[[Flechmen]]: Administrator
*[[Wolfin]]: Administrator and head server manager
*[[Alsek]]: Administrator
*[[Hobofawkes]]: Moderator
*[[Post-o-Matic 3.16]]: Not really a member, controlled by a script and posts RSS feeds. (3.16 refers to John 3:16)

==Game server==

Christian Furs has a Minecraft beta server at minecraft.christianfurs.net.
