Well the new people can vote on the old poll and that way improve upon the old result?

Honestly though I feel like the old poll has pretty much a gauss distribution, so it doesn't appear to be inaccurate. Either way, discarding the old votes will not improve the accuracy, that much is certain.

I think that what Kaitsev is wondering is if we should conduct a new poll since the old one is from 2015 and could be inaccurate considering all of the new members we've accumulated.

Just curious.

The source is noted and it's this poll:

I took out the figures and used a Google Spreadsheet to get the graph.

Just curious.

I'd like to bump this and remind all of out young members that the staff here works around the clock to keep you safe from anyone who's intent may bode ill.

The thing is, with our territory having expanded past the forums and onto Discord and such, it's a lot to keep up with and this is where you, the pups, play a vital role in helping us.

If you read something, anything that makes you feel uncomfortable, from any member at any time, please don't hesitate in letting one of us know or, if you'd feel better talking to someone closer to your own age, our wonderful, trustworthy and caring @SnowFall is an excellent pup representative and can report things to us, if needed.

Do we always take action based on a report?

No. I'd say that more often than not our conclusion has been that something ended up being a misunderstanding or a miscommunication between two members

Will we take action if necessary?

Absolutely! As a parent and as the co-owner of Therian Guide, I can tell you that nothing is more important!

Regardless of if we take action or not, we will do everything within our power to keep things in strict confidentiality. Whatever you tell us will stay with us, as will your identity. The last thing we want is to make you feel embarrassed or even more uncomfortable.

Thanks, stay safe and enjoy TG

Hello,

This thread exists because people Googled "finding your therian name" or "figure out your therian name" and found us. I thought I'd talk about this a little bit.

Many therians believe they have become or are therians for psychological reasons. Amongst those of us, naming your theriotype makes no sense. Your theriotype is what you are, it is not a separate entity and therefore has... your name, because it is you. Your theriotype is also an animal and wild animals tend not to use names to refer to one-another.

Now it is possible that you are domestic animal therian who has some kind of past life experience in the context of which you "had" a name.

As some of you will also mention, there is a section about Therian Names on the website, on the Spiritual Therianthropy page. I am not a Spiritually identifying therian and I don't want to be inconsiderate of other people's beliefs. I suppose it's possible that you think you are a therian for spiritual reasons and you see some kind of deeper meaning in giving your animal aspect a name.

But it is far from any kind of "first step" as it is often seen and within the community the whole idea of it is generally frowned upon.

There are multiple good threads discussing the subject further:

• Therian Names
• Names
  

Happy (belated) Therianthropy Day!

BearX - thanks for the link and additional information! I saw something about the "howlyday" a week or so ago but lost the source so I wasn't sure of the exact date. It's nice to have some source material!

I celebrated in my own way by working up some art for the day in advance, then spending as much of the day as possible outdoors with my fuzzy and non-fuzzy family members.

Kinda bummed out that missed out on some great lunar photography, though!

Thanks Bear

Yes, AHWW was the genesis of Modern Therianthropy, @Cuddles. I'm glad the link to the discussion thread worked. I've not linked to Google Groups before.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention @BearX . I've read through that conversation you provided and it's nice to see where this all began. Also, where is @AspenBlaze21, you gotta check this out. Read through that convo and you'll see why xD

I'm correct in saying that it began at AHWW right?
