Furry news portal given second chance

Moribund furry news portal Flayrah.com has been rescued from an ignominious demise by British-born furry fan GreenReaper.

Flayrah, first launched in 2001, used to be a popular venue for furry and animal-related news. By 2005, traffic had slowed, as other furry news sources became available. A spam attack forced a lock-down in 2006, further decreasing the variety of new posts and comments.

Site leaders Aureth and Frysco decided not to renew the domain in November 2009, but GreenReaper - best known for founding WikiFur in 2005 - convinced them to let him try to turn the site around.

The new editor-in-chief has pledged to make Flayrah "the best furry news site ever . . . again," merging WikiFur's own news project into the new site.

Flayrah now runs on modern web platform Drupal, but retains previous posts and accounts. It is hosted by French administrator Timduru.

Really not impressed with the way GreenReaper is running the once-great Flayrah (i.e., into the ground).
Oh Xydexx . . . at least Peter had the decency to use his real name when complaining. ;-)

He also took the time to contribute a news post. The last time you posted on a topic other than AC's conbook was seven years ago.

The fact is, if I hadn't taken over the site, it would already be in the ground. If you don't like how I run it, perhaps you should step up the next time a once-great site goes onto the chopping block.
