<p>2A01:6F02:300:60C1:1864:4EFF:FEB7:D7FB: /* History */</p> <hr /> <div>[[File:Icelandfursheader.jpg|right|200px|IcelandFurs]]<br /> '''IcelandFurs''' is a community of furries based in [[Wikipedia:Iceland|Iceland]], open to both locals and foreigners. It started to take shape in 2006 when a few Icelandic furries began hanging out. The group officially settled on the name ''IcelandFurs'' in 2009 when it was given a presence on [[FurAffinity]] to post news about gatherings and events.<br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> Among the attendees of the early meetups were [[Redward]], [[Karno]], [[Boe Bat]], [[RandomArcticFox]] and [[IceMan]]. [[Myra Midnight]] hosted many of the meetups over the years at a convenient burger-joint and the local mall located very close to her home.<br /> <br /> In 2013, the group started to grow after Redward passed on the responsibility of organizing events and convention trips to [[Abby-Fennec]] and their ex-partner [[Harry]]. The group found its way onto [[Facebook]] to act as a news center for the group. Main form of communication within the group since then has mainly been Telegram.<br /> <br /> In May 2014, a website was established under the domain [https://icelandfurs.org icelandfurs.org], with [[Myra Midnight]] managing the hosting for it. Though the community was too small to have a functioning forum community, there were attempts to establish a forum on the website along with a news blog, both of which ended up inactive.<br /> <br /> Since then, the group has hosted annual cabin trips called [[IceFurCabin]], with foreign visitors attending the gatherings, and planned groups that would attend [[Nordic Fuzz Con]] together.<br /> <br /> There was a change in management within the group in 2019, with no specific person in charge.<br /> <br /> During 2020 the group had at least 30 members, including a few foreign friends that mingle with the crowd.<br /> <br /> Currently as of 2023, the group is run by a collective of administrators with the support of the IcelandFurs community consisting of around 60 members, and the official website is worked on by [[ApherFox]].<br /> <br /> ==Social platforms==<br /> The group is mainly active on Telegram, and the current way to gain access is through a lobby group to filter out bots and trolls. From there, you can gain access to the SFW group and over time, you may get access to the other groups.<br /> <br /> The Facebook, Twitter, and Furaffinity pages managed by the group have been less active but are slowly getting more and more active after the new website has been set up.<br /> <br /> The website is the main place for information about events and furmeets as of now.<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> &lt;references/&gt;<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> *[https://icelandfurs.org/ IcelandFurs.org]<br /> *[https://www.facebook.com/groups/IcelandFurs/ Facebook]<br /> *[http://www.furaffinity.net/user/icelandfurs Fur Affinity]<br /> *[https://t.me/Icelandic_furries Telegram]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Forums]]<br /> [[Category:Iceland]]<br /> [[Category:2009 births]]</div>
