Drako's Den and Playground is actually two separate websites run by [[Drako]]<br />
<ref name="Drako_Den">[http://drako.funurl.com http://drako.funurl.com]</ref><br />
<ref name="Drako_Playground">[http://drako.twilightparadox.com/ http://drako.twilightparadox.com/]</ref><br />
<br />
Drako's Den is a fetish and kink friendly community where users can explore and express their kinky lifestyles, and is an adults only website.<br />
<br />
While Drako's Playground is a safe community for members of alternative lifestyles, and is safe for all ages and work places.<br />
<br />
Both websites cater to the furry fandom as a consideration that furry could be considered both an alternative lifestyle and/or a kink/fetish, depending on who you ask.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
Drako's Den is what was formerly [[The TNSC Community]]. <ref name="User_Security">[http://www.angelfire.com/hi5/jmachere/drako/user_security.html http://www.angelfire.com/hi5/jmachere/drako/user_security.html]</ref> Drako's Den has no formal history prior to 2015 other than being the replacement for TNSC as of that date.<br />
<br />
As of 2015 Swiftclaw closed down TNSC and re-branded it as Drako's Den. This marks the beginning of the New Drako's Den website and Community.<br />
<br />
In late 2015, the hosting company that ran Drako's Den had lost the entire account and all files associated with the site. There was no warning, leaving Drako's Den down for a few months while Swiftclaw began to rebuild the site on a new host. At this point in time, Swiftclaw was undergoing personal changes and moved back to Seattle. Those changes included him coming out as a babyfur, and therefore refocused the Den to be a safe haven for furries of all walks of life.<br />
<br />
Finally, in 2017, Drako opened up the all ages website he had promised from the beginning, creating Drako's Playground.<br />
<br />
==Services==<br />
<br />
Drako's Den and Playground both offer:<br />
*Art Contests<br />
*Chat rooms<br />
*Forums<br />
*Gallery that hosts images, artwork, and videos<br />
*Library that hosts stories and poetry<br />
*Free e-Mail service<br />
<br />
===Art Contests===<br />
Drako hosts an art contest every month on both of his sites. The contest allows anyone to nominate anything related to that months theme. The submissions are then voted on by site visitors and a winner is announced on the 1st of each month. Users are also encouraged to submit art contest theme ideas. There is some slight controversy in the way the art contest is run, since anyone can nominate anything-whether they created it or not. To combat this, The Art contest gives full rights only to the original artist, and links to the original art and artist respectively. The Art Contest Submissions are also hosted in a fashion where the entries are links to the image and artist and the winning submission's image is hosted on the sites to act only as a thumbnail that links to the original work. This allows submissions to be anywhere on the Internet, granted that DWS can identify who the artist of the work is.<br />
<br />
===Chat===<br />
Both sites offer chat spaces that represent their respective purpose.<br />
<br />
The Den chat is for adults only and may contain adult oriented discussions and RP's.<br />
Drako also has setup a system where scenes within The Den's Chat room may be drawn into official artwork for the website.<br />
<br />
The Playground as a PG-13 chat where users can have discussions and RP's<br />
<br />
Both chat rooms are hosted on Anthrochat's IRC Servers.<br />
<br />
===Forums===<br />
The Forums are setup to allow users to interact with each other while not in chat. Discussions and RP's are welcome there as well.<br />
<br />
===Gallery===<br />
The Gallery is split up into the following:<br />
*Art<br />
*Photos<br />
*Videos<br />
<br />
Drako's Den and Playground also has a Library where users can share written works, and place to share videos.<br />
<br />
The images are setup more like an image board of sorts. Users can post images and comment. <br />
<br />
All content types are allowed, both general and adult on Drako's Den.<br />
However, all posts on Drako's Playground must be PG-13.<br />
<br />
===Mail===<br />
Drako's Den and Playground offer Mail.com services to its users.<br />
<br />
==Responses to Other sites==<br />
<br />
The DWS Team, have been known to send out personal blogs boasting DD's stability.<br />
<br />
These responses have included blogs telling users of competing sites that have gone down that DD is still alive and well, and willing to take them in. [[Drako]] has done these sorts of blogs in response to all of Fur Affinity's downtimes, including the month-long one in 2008. He has even told people on his IM buddy lists about DD as a backup place for FA, since many of them were from FA to begin with.<br />

<hr />
<div>[[Image:1233093017.half.mixtags drako.jpg|right|thumb|One of Drako's Latest images, Drawn by Mix Tags]]<br />
'''Drako Swiftclaw''' (born October 27, 1984) (pronounced more like ''Draco'', also known as '''The Dragonheart Tabby''') is a [[cat|tabby]]/[[w:Mewto|mewtwo]]/[[dragon]] [[hybrid]] [[babyfur]] [[furry]] in [[Wikipedia:Seattle|Seattle, WA]]. He commonly calls himself a ''dragline'', has black fur with white markings, and his 'sona usually wears a black silk loincloth. <br />
<br />
He was formerly known as Drako Tags during the time he was mated to [[Mix Tags]], but has changed to his new last name after that relationship left him broken.<br />
<br />
He is now mated to Steel Pup and is the pet of Zion Wulfspau.<br />
<br />
He has lived in the [[Wikipedia:Seattle, Washington|Seattle]] area (and Bellevue) for 26 years before moving to SC with [[Mix Tags]] in the summer of 2011. After some hardships from changes to that relationship, he moved back to Seattle in 2016.<br />
<br />
==Convention Attendance==<br />
Drako has attended [[Conifur Northwest]] 2005, which was his first [[convention]]. He enjoyed the con, and will go again. However, Conifur was canceled due to a lack of hotel, and thanks to drama, or many other reasons that led Conifer to fail, it has been replaced by Rainfurrest. Drako was at the first Rainfurrest Con in 2007, and even though he missed the 2008 con due to a job change, he was there in 2009 and 2015.<br />
<br />
==Work Life==<br />
Drako works during the day at a local Home Depot and does Cleaning for ABM. He is however the founder of Drako's Website Services, which provides website hosting and authoring services to anyone who wants a website without having to deal with the work of owning a website. Drako's Website Services prides themselves as being the only service to offer free website creation, maintenance, and hosting.<br />
<br />
Alongside the aforementioned, Drako also does computer and website work as an Independent DTech Service Specialist.<br />
<br />
===Website Work and Projects===<br />
<br />
Drako leads a life mostly consisting of working on websites.<br />
<br />
Drako's Website Services does own a small community website that is open and unrestricted. [[Drako's Den]], as it is now known, is an online radio station and community that accepts all kinds of people, including furries. DD also includes services that offer image hosting and sharing (adult images allowed), forums, chat, and e-Mail. DD, like its parent company, prides itself in being a free website.<br />
<br />
The DD Community has a chat room and forums that receive regular Guests of Honor. Guests of Honor include big name people within the fandom and beyond such as Dennis "Cat" Avner, and 2 the Ranting Gryphon.<br />
