It grew pretty quickly, as far as communities we've been involved with. It began in June of 2000, as a place for people to discuss each day's featured PetoftheDay, DogoftheDay and CatoftheDay, and other pet issues. Basically the forum has stayed the same, we added a few furms over time, but what you see if pretty much how it was then.

As far as the people, some people come and go, some stick around - like any community, it is like a living organism and changes subtly over time.
