The History of Wolfhome,
 
Continued – By Timberwolf

After the closing of Wolfhome spring 2006 Underdog was able to take control of the site and started reworking the chat site from a downloadable program to its original web based program. Many of the original features were not reincorporated back into the site because of programming bugs and issues that plagued the original program. Underdog took a more system by system approach to rebuilding the web based site. The chat site was officially reopened using the web base version of Wolfhome on October 2006 – Halloween, as is fitting for the original opening of Wolfhome in October 1999. The reopened site was managed by members from the original web based chat as well as newer administrators from the downloadable version from the Kerfuffle's 'era'.

Because of the site needing a stable base to operate from, Underdog reinstituted the pay for use polices in June 2007 that were part of the original version of Wolfhome. The pay structure was based on the original design in Wolfhome version 1 and there will always be a free user base to allow people to use the site and become familiar with Wolfhome concept. However, to gain use of the privileges such as uploadable private rooms, up loadable avatars, scroll bar and freedom from advertisement a user needed to have a paid account. The advertisements were added to help offset the coast of running the site in order to maintain free accounts. Additionally set in place was the free account limit because of Wolfhomes popularity it was necessary evil that when the site met that limit that free accounts could not log in. Since the reopening of Wolfhome in 2006 Underdog has raised the limit on Free accounts as the site became more stable.

On October 2008 Wizard Chat™ www.wizardchat.com  was opened followed by Cat’s Paw Island™ www.catspawisland.com then for October 2009 Midnight Earth™ www.midnightearth.com with a classic movie monster theme opened to celebrating Halloween and uses a more 3D effect. After a year in the development Mystical Realms officially opened on October 2009 at http://mysticalrealms.chatlands.com   as part of the new Chatlands™ web site.

Do you have a pet? Do you have a pet that you are so fond of; you want to show him or her off to the whole world? Well...you can't do that. But you CAN show it off to all of Wolfhome, which is just as good! Check out the “Pets of Wolfhome” thread, founded by Umah!

Now that you've gotten around to browsing the forums a bit, how about some spam? No, I'm not talking about the overly processed, scary canned meat. Try out Dr. Stick's “Slap Yer Keyboard” game. Just give your keyboard a whack, then use the random letters to type out a semi-coherent sentence! Just try not to break your keyboard...you need that for Wolfhome!

NEW RULE:

Large & Animate Plushies - Mythical Category

The Art Staff noticed that recent plushies within poses have been showing more and more movement, effects, and above all else - size. After some discussion between the ART members, we have come to a compromise for this. Rather than rejecting plushie poses because the plushie is too large or has special effects, it will simply be placed under the 'mythical' category and you will not be able to use it in public rooms.

Here are a few reasons why your plushie pose might be placed into the 'mythical' category:
- the plushie is the main focus of the pose
- the plushie is so large that it overwhelms the main character in the pose, or no main character is evident
- the plushie shows movement or special effects
- the plushie shows signs of life

The purpose of this rule is to allow you the freedom to have creative plushies while maintaining our standards that plushies must remain entirely lifeless if you would like to use them publicly. We are all about freedom in private rooms, and we hope that you understand why this rule has been set in place.
