TNSC hosts an art contest every month. The contest allows anyone to submit anything related to that months theme. The submissions are then voted on by the sites users and a winner is announced on the 10th 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 submit anything-wheter they created it or not. To combat this, The TNSC Art contest gives full rights only to the original artist, and links to the original art and artist respectively. TNSC's Art Contest Submissions are also hosted in a fasion where the entries are links to the image and artist and the winning submission's image is hosted on TNSC to act only as a thumbnail that links to the original work. This allows submissions to be anywhere on the internet, granted that TNSC can identify who the artist of the work is.

TNSC Radio allows users who create music to share it in a radio-like setup, guarenteeing listeners to all music. TNSC Radio is operated under a random roatation type system that ensures music is well shuffled and is fully cross browser compatible.

TNSC has 2 chat rooms. The Garden is not as heavily talked about, but is the Family Friendly (and KidSafe) chat room. The lobby, however is more spoken about and allows for adult oriented themes, discussions and roleplays.

The forums have an adult section and also an area where users can post their own BLOGS.

The TNSC Gallery has been re-structured to allow both users over the age of 18 and those underage to be able to share images, artwork and videos. TNSC's Main Gallery is hosted as a group on Flickr and allows for images rating all the way from General to Adult. Users must be over 18 to enter the main Gallery. The gallery pages also have areas where users can link to their own videos . TNSC Long Videos is a Family Friendly area where only General and Mature content is allowed, since kids can access it. TNSC Adult Videos requires a login and is where adult oriented videos can be found. TNSC Created the KidSafe Gallery and linked it to a seperate image gallery and to TNSC Long Videos so users under the age of 18 have a place where they can share their images as well.

TNSC's Library is a forum like structure where adult themed poetry and stories may be posted. TNSC did also create a KidSafe version of the Library for users under the age of 18.

TNSC's e-mail service uses TNSC's sub-domain type address along with Google's Apps services to offer Free Web based and POP e-mail services to anyone who requests an account.

==History==
TNSC was initally created in 2000 as a Christian based online Radio station. By 2002, TNSC had expanded to become a Christian based community. This lasted only a few years while [[Drako]] Tags, TNSC's founder began exploring who he was. Leading TNSC to change views by 2004 to become a freedomist based website, allowing for adult themes.

TNSC was re-built and expanded in 2005 as part of a multi-service split that led to the creation of [[Drako's_Website_Services]]. Before this time TNSC had done the work now offered by [[Drako's_Website_Services]] and had affiliated with [[Drako]] Tag's own personal site to offer adult oriented forums and image sharing.

[[Drako]], founder of all 3 sites, felt his own site should focus on being a personal imformation page about himself. He continues to edit and expand that page extensively, even as it is now hosted and run by [[Drako's_Website_Services]].

Part of the 2005 expansion and rebuild of TNSC was in response to [[FurAffinity]]'s un-announced, and prolonged downtime. Though FA was only down for a few days, TNSC gut built up and started to see a slight spike in traffic. During this time, TNSC was on a non-redundant host that allowed adult images and themes.

TNSC was moved to a new host and rebuilt again in 2007 in response to the old host going offline unexpectedly. FTP access was still allowed, but the site itself was inaccessable. The previous data that was on TNSC was mostly lost, but The DWS Team re-formed everything that TNSC had to offer and began to re-advertise as the New TNSC Community-By the people, for the people.

Currently, TNSC is stable and has had still fewer problems on its free hosts than many of its competing sites that have to ask for donations to pay off hosting fees. TNSC also currently offers the site to be ad-free if people donate, but only offers it once. TNSC prides itself in being self reliant, without having to demand donations from its userbase.

==Responses to Other sites==

TNSC's webmaster staff, The DWS Team, have been known to send out personal blogs boasting TNSC's stability.

These responses have included BLOGs telling users of competing sites that have gone down that TNSC is still alive and well, and willing to take them in. [[Drako]] himself has done these sorts of BLOG's in responce to all of FA's downtimes. He has even told people on his IM buddy lists about TNSC as a backup place for FA, since many of them were from FA to begin with.

'''Drako Tags''' (pronounced more like ''Draco'', also known as '''The Dragonheart Tabby''') is a tabby/mewtwo/dragon hybrid [[furry]] in [[Wikipedia:Bellevue, Washington|Bellevue, WA]] He was born on October 27,1984.

Drako has recently 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 plans to be there in 2009 with his mate.

Drako works during the day as a Cashier in a Sears store. 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 does own a small community website that is open and unrestricted. The TNSC Community, as it is now known, is an online radio station and community that accepts all kinds of people, including furries.

The TNSC 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.
