History
Originally the site started out as WereTher, a small PHPBB-based forum for therianthropes. It had about 100 members at its peak, and struggled to diversify itself from other communities. It was closed on 12/24/2010 with no plans of reopening. It was then reopened as Wulf Howl.
The Wulf Howl incarnation of the site was founded in October of 2011 by Shiro. It began as a small 'alternative' forum with a chatbar for otherkin, therianthropes, and vampires. It was intended to provide a warm, welcoming, and friendly community to the newly awakened and experienced members alike. It was updated to include articles, blogs, a directory of otherkin, and a community-run resource center in early 2012. It was an important resource site, especially among therianthropes. Wulf Howl was succeeded by Kinmunity.
