I was wondering what happened to PoE, I was thinking that it crashed because there's just an Apache test page there now. I would think that the site's owners would at least have put up a notice that they were closing.
I heard about PoE after it started, through other Furs talking about it, but I never visited because they said it was anti-Fur, and I didn't like to read the negative stuff.
A few years later they made my site an Exhibit, I found out and joined PoE so that I could defend Skippy, one of my photo-morphic characters.
A reasonable Fur wouldn't get involved with a site like that, but I liked the debate, and people there were 'real' compared to a lot of forums, and some were even Furries themselves.
I like the unusual, weird and outrageous, so yeah, I guess I'm an atrocity tourist too, and I stuck around, and got a lot out of the sites that they posted, all from behind the safety of my screen.
I got involved in a couple of other site forums there too, like one about Zoophilia, and when my friend Saintly Bernard's site was added I was right in the middle of that one too.
Last year they ran the story of me trying to change my name, which actually got several hundred comments and well wishes. Some remembered that I was an exhibit there before, and they knew that I was real. That was a win for sure.
I'm sad to see it go, I never thought that they hated Furries for real, maybe it just can come across that way when people are trying to understand what something is about.
