On Sharing the Forum/Inviting newcomers
Posted: Sat Jun 13, 2026 2:07 am
Howdy Y'all! I hope you've been enjoying the forum so far! I've been having a lot of fun see the space start to come alive, myself! Legit whenever I see a new user's signed up or I spot a new introduction in the intros thread I POUNCE on that stuff, it's such a blast to be participating in a waddled, lumbering step towards a more independent bigfur community!
As we grow (pun slightly intended), I figured now would be as good a time as any to remind everyone that this forum is currently in a soft launch state! Ideally, once we're satisfied and confident with both the webdev and community side of things, we'd open the forum to the wider fatfur/inflationfur spheres (again, slight pun intended there)
As of right now tho? We're nooooot quite ready. It's just Bloatware and I on the admin team, and we've got plenty on our plates to figure out! So! We ask that you don't share invites/links to this forum publicly. If you've got a friend or two or heck, even a small closed/private chat who you think would gel with the space/be interested, by all means go ahead and share it (just make sure to let an admin know beforehand - especially if its someone neither of us know particularly well.)
And remember, if you ever have any questions about this/what would be kosher, don't be afraid to reach out to an admin in PMs to ask!
I promise there will come a time where things are open! But while things under the hood, both in terms of the actual bones of the site and the community guidelines, are in a bit of flux we'd appreciate some help keeping things a little more tight knit!
