RE: What is a Greymuzzle?
I had accounts on other websites long ago, most of which no longer exist. Many of us who have been around in the community for a long time typically don't reminisce about the earlier days. We may have had some good friends, but to be honest the communities were fairly cringe then. There wasn't a whole lot of distinction between opinion or fact or fiction. Role players and trolls were more commonplace in larger sites that had little oversight. What I disliked the most was the autocracy of pack sites. Some whiny, often delusional teen would claim that they were a natural born alpha and that they were meant to be a leader. This was enforced upon actual therians who joined, their contributions making an otherwise bogus site look legitimate to newer members. I'm sure some sites are still up out there, where the 'alpha' hasn't gone on a hormonal rant and closed it down because "no one liked me and wanted to talk to me".
