This is a living document, it will naturally change over time and forever be a work in progress...
1. Who can schedule meets? - Anyone and everyone! If you have an idea, make it a reality. Post your ideas and if possible turn them into meets.
2. Why does registration require approval? - Long ago, in a Buffalo far, far away, there was drama. Actually, it wasn't that long ago, and many of us remember it all too well. Certain folks demonstrated a marked inability to play nice with others; certain others openly advocated illegal activity. Given this, we felt taking a cursory look at people before they join might not be such a bad idea. The vast majority of registrants will be approved within minutes of applying.
3. Why are the forums 18+? - Some meets will be in private residences, and the legal issues involved with having underage people present are legion. Also, we may want to discuss adult-oriented topics. We encourage you to explore some of the all-ages online communities and seek out other furs under 18, and when you hit that magic age, come back and we'll gladly open the door.
4. Is there a Buffalo Furs Facebook group? - In fact there are several, however we are not directly associated with any of them.
5. Why are the boards so quiet? - Probably because we're all chatting on Telegram. We have a SFW chat and, the details of which (including the rules) can be found here.
6. Are the forums exclusive? - In the sense that we ban or block access to people who have violated the rules, or who have a documented history of trolling and bad or even criminal behavior, yes. We strive to uphold a community standard, and provide a pleasant place for local furs to escape this sort of thing. We will not tolerate it in the spaces we administer.
