Furnation to close

Found this in my inbox this morning:


FurNation, a websystem that I have operated for the furry fandom since 1996, almost 14 years, will be closing and going offline forever on May 16th, 2009 at Midnight.

FurNation Worlds, the sims we run on Second Life, will remain for now in name only. FurNation Prime, the main center sim will go offline this week.

I am sorry to announce this, but for FN to continue at the present time while paying the debt that I still have for the hosting fees going back to the beginning of operation we would need a little over 2K in cash along with this month's hosting fees of 400 dollars. I do not expect nor wish to ask for further donations to run the service, nor can I afford to continue to add to my current debt.

All Supporting Members will be able to keep using the email system (I will provide a new URL for the web interface). I will provide further information later this week.

For those hosting sites on FN, the FTP service will remain in operation until the end of this month for all those who need to collect any data they may have stored.

I have met many friends in the fandom, and I can say that the last 14 years in the fandom has been one of the greatest experiences of my life. To bring FurNation to a final close is one of the hardest things I have done, and I will always feel a part of myself is missing.

So long furs and furrets, and thanks for all the carrots.

Frankly, FN went down the drain about 10 years ago. I don't even remember the last time I browsed it.

I quit going there a long time ago. I honestly don't care.

If any good art is still there, better start saving it!

>>3 Except the many furry artist's web sites who use other domain names that you never even knew were hosted there.  FurNation offered free hosting to any furry artist for the past 14 years.  Now those artists will have to find new homes and probably have to pay for the service.

Dude, this isn't the early days of furry. There are numerous hosts to post art at now. There's at least one free Furnation style web host: Furtopia. Even better, Furtopia is like what Furnation was before it went bad.
