Because I like anthro animals.

I found the utter hilarity from the e-drama and SERIOUS BUSINESS in the fandom is too much for me to resist.

Also because I am "High Priest Smucklekhaman" - the High Priest of All That Is Tasty and the Lord of Greasy Meat in Crunchy Shells. I manifest myself as a morbidly obese dragon with pimples and a serious case of neckbeard, with fireproof glasses to correct my ruined eyes from too much Interneting. I breathe halitosis-laden air rather than fire - the stench can rot a man's flesh off his bones.

Admittedly when I came here for the first time in 2002 it was for number 5 :p , now mostly 11 and 13.

Chose other because I'm a mix of 3, 4, 5, 6,and 7.

But 7 is at the tail end of my priorities list. Or maybe I'm just in denial.
 
So everybody here is really a wolf and only pretends to be human when others are around, well riddle me this then, how are all of you operating your computers without any thumbs :[ .

You don't really need thumbs to operate a computer.

Furry and scaly characters have always struck a cord with me. I guess I expected to grow out of it, but I didn't, and then I found this place! Hurrah!

it's not the paws that make typing a chore. I mean, what are shorthands, err, shortpaws for anyway? and if all else fails, claim leghasteny.
or being dropped on the head as a child.
then again, how does one type with hoofs instead of hands? (and how to get clothed?)
we can stretch that discussion into oblivion, but I'll just answer:

nothing from the above. I felt furry all my life, so pondering about "why?" seems pretty much useless. because I am that way, period. it's a part of me I can't rip out... not that I'd want it.

hm, I'm missing another option:
9: to sell those guys porn.

that would fit at least a little bit. :)

Paws must make typing a chore.

Judgeing by the quality of typing I've seen, I'd say some people probrably type with their elbows.

its hard to explain
i think this song will explain http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptAA-Ap9aWA

lyric cut that explains it

I've held on too long just to let it go now,
Will my inner strength get me through it some how
Defying the curse that has taken hold
Never surrender,
I'll never be overcome!

I'm in it for the community.

The furry community is the first group of people, who can all be good people. I understand that there's a lot of drama in the Furry World. But I would attribute it to the fact that, everyone feels so comfortable about being so open about everything in their lives.
I mean, look at other fandoms / communities.
Where else is socially acceptable to flat out yell. "I'm GAY, and I wanna take it up the ASS!" ? I mean, if the Furry Community is so open about their bedroom preferences, what else would be considered so private that you normally wouldn't say it to someone else, let alone a stranger?

So drama is to be expected. And in all honesty, everyone has their own drama. How we deal with it is different. Mine, recently, was a bout of depression. But, now that I have nearly immerced myself completely into the fandom. I've found people whom I can talk to more openly than any therapist, and get the healing I needed.

Now, I look forward to a Fursuit, several commissions, FurCon's. I found out that the Japanese FurCon is no longer going to be held. *sniff* But this means that I can take time into looking into the Aussie FurCon! (`n.n)
On top of my first fursuit, I'm going to look into making my own. I think buying the first one so I have a reference on what to do is going to be a big help in designing my own personal fursuit. And possibly one for my neichan....

So I will vote Community first. Because it's the Community that's helped me out. And then Fursuiting, because of the joy I got from doing it in front of thousands of people and bringing smiles to a lot of people.

Good point about the community being very open and accepting, ever since I admitted I was a fur here people made me realise it's okay and I've felt better about myself ever since. Long live the fur:).

This is the best community ever, plus I like the art.

But people who insist they are animals trapped in a human body worry me... :/

I like the community, I like the art. Would like to be an actual furry but it's not like it's a life-goal or I lose sleep at night because of that, I hardly care it would just be cool.

Also like the porn, but that's not what I'm here for. I easily could access it without considering myself a fur, or access other kinds of porn for sure (though I prolly wouldn't like it as much), so I didn't vote for that. 3, 4, 7.

i love the furry community to death, as well as the art and the porn. and sometimes i would like to be an actual furry, but i don't really focus on it that much. and although i like the porn, i don't go all after it. and the community is full of great peopel

Why? If I had to choose from the pictures it would be mostly the bottom right one. Two others would be the bottom left and second bottom left.

Basically I like to draw. I saw yiffy work and was like "I can draw this!" So I did. Then I found that unlike before I could find usually a multitude of things to draw about (IE fewer artist blocks). I see a lot of good artwork out there that is more erotic than just pure porn and use those images to improve my own.

But money definitely gives an incentive to me. You know what they say "Find a way to make your hobby pay."

Plus I'm in it to fap to it, I get off on the most impossible, fantasias, and disgusting to a lot of furs, stuff out there.

Yeah pretty much this. The porn is nice and all, but its just porn... and for sure not what makes me a fur.
