== History ==

In early 2006, a group of Swedish furry fans were displeased with the options available for Swedish furries to socialize with one another. The only active line of communication was the [[IRC]] channel [[SweFur]] and some felt that they wanted more than an IRC channel to go by. So Ratiries got the idea to start "SveaFur", together with Ricadonna, who volunteer to host the website.

SveaFur soon started to gather interest and growth. After five months of operation, the membership totaled around 30 individuals, and several [[furmeet]]s have been held in the cities of [[Wikipedia:Lund|Lund]], [[Wikipedia:Malmö|Malmö]] and [[Wikipedia:Gothenburg|Gothenburg]], arranged by SveaFur members.

Members have also come together to create their own [[World of Warcraft]] guild, which is open to any SveaFur member, and which has an own subforum on the main SveaFur forum. It used to share a forum with [[Anthro World War II Art Bunker]], now closed.

== SveaFur and Swefur ==

Despite some discouraging from selected SweFur chatters<ref>http://community.livejournal.com/swefur/8629.html</ref>, SveaFur hopes one day to affiliate itself with the IRC-channel, and merge then together. This seems rather unlikely for the time being.

== SveaFur meets ==

* Sep 22, 2006: Three members went to see ''[[Over The Hedge (film)|Over the Hedge]]'' in Malmö. Another five members had expressed interest but were unable to make it. This meet was arranged by quoting_mungo and Naifu-chan.
* Oct 20, 2006: Five members met up for an evening out in Lund. This evening ended up being spent mostly at [[Wikipedia:Subway (restaurant)|Subway]]. One more member had originally intended to come but couldn't make it. This meet was arranged by quoting_mungo and Naifu-chan.
* Nov 24, 2006: Gaming meet in [[Wikipedia:Staffanstorp Municipality|Staffanstorp]], arranged by Ricadonna, with several other furs bringing additional games and snacks. This meet doubled as a birthday party for Ricadonna and Ratiries, and had eight furs in attendance, three of whom had travelled from [[Wikipedia:Stockholm|Stockholm]].
* Nov 25, 2006: Planned excursion to Laser Dome in Malmö, arranged by Ricadonna and Grisha. This meet was cancelled due to the gaming meet lasting late the night before.
* Dec 30, 2006: '''Christmas Dog Scraps:''' Planned Christmas [[Wikipedia:Potluck dinner|potluck dinner]] at quoting_mungo's residence, arranged by quoting_mungo and Naifu-chan. This dinner was cancelled when too few furs signed up.
* Mar 17, 2007: A couple of members and friends outside of the forum met up and went to a café to draw and chat.
* Jan 27, 2008: Six members met up in Malmö to celebrate a members 18th birthday. At first they went to see the movie ''I Am Legend''. And after that they ate at Burger King as they then played LaserDome. The birthday boy bought them all an icecream afterwards as a thanks.
