Babyfur.ME is a social networking community built specifically for members of the furry fandom aged 18+ that identify as Adult Babies(AB) and/or Diaper Lovers(DL), collectively referred to as the ABDL community, inside and outside of the furry community. The community is also open to furs that identify as caretakers of, or are supportive of the babyfur/ABDL community. Babyfur.ME registration is limited to these groups, and does not allow for access to non-furries. User-submitted content is also not accessible without a member registration. The site is partnered with Sora's Emporium LLC.

Purpose and Mission Statement[edit]

Babyfur.ME was founded to bring the general babyfur/ABDL community closer together. As a social networking site, it provides a much-needed media rich forum for communication among community members. Babyfur.ME's registration limitations were put in place to ensure that the community remains a subset of the general furry community. The Babyfur.ME mission statement is: "To unite babyfurs from all over the globe, providing a common interest group forum tailored toward providing a safe, secure and protected medium for members of that interest group to express those interests and communicate with others who share those interests." The administration staff of Babyfur.ME are committed to ensuring that the community is protected from bashing, harassment, or ridicule; specifically for their involvement with the babyfur/ABDL community.

History[edit]

Babyfur.ME was founded in mid-April 2011 by Fuzzy. By the end of May, the site saw over 1,000 new member registrations and over 1,000,000 page views. In its fourth month of operation, Babyfur.ME had received a cumulative member registration of just over 1,500 with over 3,200,000 page views and 18,200 mutual friendships confirmed. Its first quarter operation statistics affirmed the success of the site's mission statement.

Babyfur.ME's first year statistics showed that the community grew significantly with over 2,600 registrations worldwide (2,300+ active memberships), just under 10 million page views, 31,000+ mutual friendships and 176,000+ status updates. [1]

In late 2018 the website suddenly went offline, and would remain that way for almost 6 years until on June 16, 2024 when it was announced that the site's founder, Fuzzy, was relaunching Babyfur.ME. All previous members would have to re-register, as no user data had been saved as per the site's privacy agreement.[2] To prevent the site from suddenly disappearing again, there is now an agreement for "succession rather than abandonment should I (the website's founder) decide to step away from Babyfur.ME this time around." On June 24, 2024, a mere 8 days after the site was relaunched, there were a total of 2,274 registered users, 14,017 friendships, and 21,716 posts to the site.

Features and Content[edit]

The Babyfur.ME administration staff respects it's members right to privacy and thus all user added content is only accessible to it's registered members. The site was not created with the intent for social networking outside of the babyfur/ABDL community. Another consideration that prompted the content to be restricted is the ability of the administration staff to keep a tight watch on trolling or otherwise bashing, harassment, or ridicule of its members. This allows the removal and banning of such accounts to occur with haste.

Some of the more notable primary features are similar to most mainstream social networking sites; including the ability to post and comment on status updates, photos, links, videos as well as friendships, following (for status updates), event planning, groups, forums, and polls.
