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 [[therians|therianthropes]]. Wulf Howl was succeeded by [[Kinmunity]].
==Features==
Wulf Howl has a vast array of features not commonly found on other otherkin communities. Wulf Howl's profile system includes an "Otherkin Card", a profile box explaining each user's theriotype(s) and personal experience with therianthropy. Wulf How later expanded to include a community articles system, an otherkin registry, a links directory, a user map, a virtual currency, and several social-networking features.

==Administration==
Wulf Howl's administration is directed by an administrator (known as a Sheikh). The Sheikh appoints Praetors who function as "Super Moderators" on the site. Praetors are in charge of overseeing Guardians, who function as moderators. Members who have over fifty posts can apply for a Guardian position via an online form. Guardian applications are approved or denied by Praetors.
