On November 25th 2014, Wulf Howl's Facebook page was updated with a message indicating that its server hosting provider terminated its account without notice and that a server move and restore from backup would be attempted. On November 27th 2014, [[Shiro]] announced that he had lost access to the decryption key in order to restore Wulf Howl's backup and that the site would be rebuilt from scratch. On December 26th 2014, Wulf Howl's Facebook page announced that Wulf Howl would be rebranded to Kinmunity and that the new site was now accepting members. Shiro has stated that he retains copies of the backup key for the new site in multiple locations. ==Administration== Kinmunity is administrated by its founder, [[Shiro Ulv]]. Kinmunity's staff team consists of volunteer moderators called Guardians, while Chat Operators are given the responsibility of moderating the live chat and instant messaging systems. ==Closure and Reopening== In a post on social medias, it was announced on July 18th, 2018, that “Kinmunity has ceased operations and to ensure the utmost security, all associated data has been destroyed”. On September 25, 2018 a new version of Kinmunity was opened for public beta. ==See also== * [[Wulf Howl]] ==External links== * [https://www.kinmunity.com Official Site] * [https://kinmunity.tumblr.com Official Blog] * [https://www.facebook.com/kinmunity Facebook Page] * [https://www.twitter.com/kinmunity Twitter Feed] [[Category:Community resource]] [[Category:Therian Community]] [[Category:Otherkin Community]] [[Category:Message_Boards]] [[Category:Chats]] [[Category:Active Chats]] [[Category:Discord Chats]]'
