==History==
The georgiafurs.net forum was stared in 2003 by Kiran Lightpaw, but the site was down for maintenance until 2005, after which it was restored to public access for a few months by Durango Dingo. The domain became defunct by the end of 2005, and the forum was resurrected by Durango in early 2008, with a cleanup of spam accounts and threads in the summer of that year.

===FLORA as de-facto mailing list===
In the meantime, the intermittent downtime of the forum forced otherwise active members in other parts of Georgia and nearby locales in surrounding states (Alabama, Tennessee, Florida, South Carolina) to use the [[FLORA]] mailing list, which is primarily focused around the furry population of the Atlanta metropolitan area (site of the [[Furry Weekend Atlanta]] convention). As a result, the present incarnation of the GeorgiaFurs.com has not yet gained back its original membership, but is rapidly growing again in popularity as an alternative to the unmoderated FLORA list.

With many member applying to FLORA and never being able to be added, some locals started another Yahoo group called the Atlanta Regional Furry List.

Another ''active'' in-state regional group is the [[Savannah Furs]], while neither a mailing list nor a LiveJournal community for [[Middle Georgia Furs]] have yielded noticeable discussion or membership.
