FurNet is a major furry IRC network, created to replace Yiffnet after it was shut down in 2001. It is the most popular furry IRC network at present - with max users of 2500 in a 2 month period from 2014 mid-May to mid-July[2] connecting to its seven servers at any one time.[needs update] With its large user base and a wide selection of established channels (1052-1086 visible channels in a 48-hour period during 2014 July 14-16)[3][needs update] it tends to attract the majority of furs new to IRC.
FurNet's web site includes a list of servers, three in the United States (alicorn, foxtaur & wolf servers), two in Germany (lynx & panther servers), one in Austria (kinglion server) and one in Australia (coyote server), which you can connect to. Website also links to suitable software for a variety of platforms.
