I found out about fursuits when I was trying to come up with a skit for trying out to be my college mascot.

    I don’t remember exactly. I read a lot of books about dragons and werewolves as a kid, and I eventually found the VCL board through internet osmosis. I imagine nowadays it’s a lot less confusing to get started.

      I don’t think I spent much time online probably until high school, I think that’s when my family got DSL. I never really participated in any boards or IRC channels, or any internet culture in general. It wasn’t until after I was well into college that I think I did any learning through internet osmosis. So in the having access to the internet sense, any online community is probably easier than when I was growing up. Also, If I’m reading the wiki correctly, I was familiar with the Swedish admin of VCL on FA as foople. I liked their writing. RIP
