Furstream and other notice
8 years ago
I dropped support for the site nearly two years ago and left it with the other developers to take over. I believe none of them wanted it so the domain has expired this month.
I am not sure what is happening with the server, I have not run the server for a good three years. All user data is encrypted on it like passwords. Emails and usernames are plain text but I believe the database is encrypted anyway. I will erase the VMs from the mainframe within the next 72 hours.
I would like to thank all the users of the site for the support over the years. I know it has been rough some months.
I'd also like to thank the developers for their hard work creating the site and maintaining it over the years. Patreon members also thank you for your kind support. We did not want to run ads on the site or block video streams with video ads so thank you for your support. Without you all the site would never had been a thing.
I am proud of the site and what it stood for. I set it up because I believe in freedom of speech and expression (that and I was working on event streaming site at the time so this allowed us to develope the technology and test it). No other site at the time allowed such content to be streamed other than ones behind paywalls. And in a time of a clamping down on free speech it was important to me to do this.
I am also proud to have owned and operated a site within the top 100,000 website ranked on Alexa as well as helped push for HTML5 video support on a few large browsers (that we did not end up using lol).

Jack,
was glad to have helped support a small independent group like Furstream. best of luck dude, with everything!
GL to you too
Now if you can code we need a new Furry Srreaming site. We need an outlet for our talents!
Me and the other active devs were not able to fix it thus it stayed that way for a while.
The reason we never updated to Flash was that many complained about the 20-30 second delay. Wowza has now made this a lot better and we are seeing 2-5 seconds delay based on a few factors.
Basically if you are able to fix the site you are probably able to code it yourself anyway...
As for the media player, we were using VJS well before TD, in fact they were using JWplayer and switched after seeing how nice VideoJS was working for us.
I understand you have been with us since the early days of the site, and the kind words are nice but you have to understand that copying someone's hard work is just annoying as hell.
To echo what I've said to Aldi already, we're collecting #pawpet contact details here, in case it all goes pear shaped: http://collabedit.com/hd3ds

Still, I thank you Jacktail for the time furstre.am was in service ^.^

Since the "great site names" out there for gaming, I only like til a certain grade.
One Example: Except Furstream, I could not choose if I want to stream for the public audience, or set up a Password to the channel, to be able to stream only for a selected audience.
But the site didn't respond. It was down.
Is it gone forever?
Still, I am glad I had the chance to be able to stream on there for a while.
I didn't like how laggy and bloated and resource heavy the other stream sites were.
Thanks for the site. Hopefully one day it can come back.
So long, so long, and thanks for all the fish!
