FurryMUCK is one of the oldest and biggest non-combat
MUDs in existence. It was founded in
1990 as an online gathering place for
furry fans to meet and play in a virtual
role-playing environment. Over time, FurryMUCK has become one of the central focal points for
furry fandom, with a user base consisting of thousands of users, and over 450 users signed on at once, most nights.
Many furry fans state that their first exposure to furry fandom came from FurryMUCK. Many of the more popular phrases of furry jargon, including "yiff," "scritch," and "idle" stem from the virtual environment.
