FurNation was a PG-rated furry social network site. 
In 1997 the home page brought the following text:
In 1999 the text changes to: 
==History==
Created in 1996, the site was widely visited over the next five years. In mid-2002 the site template was redesigned and a message about the changes was posted on the homepage:
Such changes were not only in the site's layout, one of the novelties was the launch of the FurNation Anthology Magazine, with works by the FurNation's members issues available for purchase at the site. However, from November 2003 to March 2004, several buyers reported never having received their edits, so an error was discovered in PayPal's payment reports. The problem was circumvented, but there were already around 22 people injured by this failure.
On December 28, 2004, it was announced that FurNation would be renamed AnthroNation. The project, however, does not seem to have gone ahead.
There was also a review on the Homepage about the film Kaze: Ghost Warrior conceived by Timothy Albee, a FurNation's member and sold on their multimedia site (http://furplanet.com/shop/). In October 2016 it was announced FurNation Worlds a 3D Virtual World System, a simulation with two islands hosted by Second Life community system.
==20th birthday, and DDOS Attack==
In October 2015 the site suffered a DDOS attack, as well as others furry fandom sites. Those responsible for hosting FurNation had no protection against this type of attack and suffered numerous stability problems, even deciding that the site should no longer be active to prevent further attacks.
The webmaster's Twitter account tweeted about the event, before a notice of clarification was posted on the home page of the website.
FurNation managed to get enough funds to change its hosted, and the site was then reopened. Shortly after FurNation's 20th anniversary, a 2.0 version of the site was announced in August 5, 2016: 
==Shutdown of FurNation==
Unfortunately a few months later the webmaster/admin closed the site the following year, on February 19, 2017. After the closing of the site, the Twitter account of the webmaster @FurNation made some sporadic posts about the site, its history, but currently in April 2022 it no longer seems no longer seems to have any sort of connection with furry fandom.
Twitter user @shy_matsi posted a photo of his collection of zines furry, including issue #2 of FurNation Anthology Magazine. The tweet was shared by admin of the site and generated some inquiries from other members about the status of the site and requests that it be restored.
Discussions about possible revival of the site followed with numerous fans and members looking for administrators on other networks. SYSTEM even published a tweet in 2021 promising a comeback, that never happened. While LEO Owens has left links to his accounts in other furry communities.
A group on Telegram called FurMoon was made, but there is no more information about it:
