Enthusiastically second.

Some of my best times on the internet—maybe anywhere—have been on thriving art sites. Yerf/SCFA. FurAffinity. Perfect places? Of course not. But it was possible to find community and develop your art in places like that. We need them.
I wish DeviantArt didn't become the cesspit of AI and Loud House screencaps it's become, there should be a proper social media website for artists that doesn't implode on itself after like a week

[Old Art] All the Kendall by RDewalt
Done sometime between 1997-1998 I was having a LOT of artwork made on Yerf/SCFA of Kendall at the time, and that was who artists preferred to draw when I commissioned them. I wonder why…

Man I just realized that this year probably marks my 30th year as a furry. I discovered the SCFA my junior year in highschool, which would have been 95-96. Woof.

Drawn in 1997. I remember back in the early days of the Squeaky Clean Furry Archive (SCFA), later known as Yerf, there was a fur named Stormwolf who really enjoyed drawing his character tickling or being tickled by other characters. Here Stormwolf tickles a helpless Tremaine.

Fusobacterium ve Streptococcus gibi bakteriler, nakil reddi yaşayan hastalarda artmış. 🔬

SCFA üretiminde azalma. Kısa zincirli yağ asitleri üreten bakteri popülasyonlarında azalma olmuş.

According to a new #ScienceAdvances study, wheat fiber-enriched foods may reduce gut inflammation and curb the development of inflammatory bowel disease. https://scim.ag/4uU8z1Q
Wheat fiber mitigates colitis via non-SCFA microbial metabolite-trained intestinal macrophages
Wheat fiber mitigates colitis by preserving B. thetaiotaomicron, whose metabolites train macrophages to reduce gut inflammation.

Thinking about first exposures to abdl furry art, trying to find the first one that really had an effect on me. It was posted to SCFA/Yerf in I think 1997-98, of a lion furry named Kimba wearing a diaper and pouting. I can't find it on the Yerf or VCL archival sites, I fear it's lost to history.

Drawn in 1996. I drew this for Laura on the Squeaky Clean Furry Archive (SCFA), later known as Yerf. No idea who Laura was, though!

The Squeaky Clean Furry Archive (SCFA) which later became Yerf, and shortly after the Velan Central Library (VCL) in 1996!

Oats are slow to digest so it promotes weight loss, high in fiber (and feeds gut bacteria so they make SCFA which promotes weight loss), lower cholesterol & stabilize blood glucose
