The Therian Guide is a website for therians, containing information on therianthropy. It contains a general introduction to therianthropy, articles about discovering that one is a therian and discovering one's theriotype, articles on shifting, FAQs, and a forum.

Controversy

The administrators of The Therian Guide have installed the Private Message Log plugin for MyBB, written by Starpaul20, that allows administrators to view private messages sent on their board.[1] The version of this plugin used on The Therian Guide has been modified to remove the default warning, "Any messages sent through this form will be logged and viewable to board administrators. Do not include any private information, financial information, or passwords in any messages sent"[2], keeping only the second sentence: "Do not include any private information, financial information, or passwords in any messages sent".[3] Shiro Ulv has accused The Therian Guide administrator DustWolf of using this function on at least one occasion to read Ulv's PMs without a valid administrative reason to do so. His evidence for this claim is a screenshot of server logs showing that a user with an IP matching DustWolf's country of origin visited his new website, Kinmunity from the pmlog view page of the Therian Guide admin panel, indicating that DustWolf followed a link to Kinmunity that was contained in one of Ulv's PMs.[4]
