The logo of InflatableFurs.com, from March 11, 2009 until closure, featuring Alkora's fursona.

InflatableFurs.com (also referred to as InflataFurs, originally named the Inflatable Furry Hub) was a furry inflation forum administered by Alkora.

History[edit]

The forums were initially opened in June 16, 2007 as the Inflatable Furry Hub. It was created as an alternative to the defunct InflationNation forums that had closed the same day.

The Inflatable Furry Hub was featured in Something Awful's Weekend Web section on August 26, 2007.[1] The community were light-hearted and didn't take much offence from it.[2] However, as a precautionary measure, the forums were made member only from that point.

On March 13, 2008, the site opened a profile and gallery system similar to Alkora's previous project, Fur Affinity.

On March 11, 2009, the site rebranded to InflatableFurs.com.

As of June 2015 the InflatableFurs.com website and forum were both offline, seemingly due to problems with hosting and a complete loss of data. The website has since been replaced with the following message:

   
InflatableFurs.com
The previous host holding the inflatablefurs.com forums is offline. I currently have no files or database structure for it, so I am considering it a loss at the moment. I may at a later time consider doing something new with this location however.
