'FurryMUCK' is one of the oldest and largest non-combat
MUD-style games in existence. It was founded in
1990 as an online gathering place for furry fans to meet and socialize 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 several thousand, with over 450 users usually signed on simultaneously.
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 this virtual environment.
