Hey everyone,

I have to admit to you that I'm a bit of an environmentalist in that I believe in doing things to help nature. I obviously care about the welfare of the wild counterparts of my theriotype -- wolves, but I also like to engage myself in various projects to help the natural environment in various ways.

I'm sure all of you, being therians, also believe in these same things and also want to help.


TG is primarily a community of therians and while we try to help educate people about therianthropy, we already have a purpose in this. To help nature, I found it's best to help through other organisations already working in those areas.

Obviously, you can join them and help them with your work directly. But maybe your schedule is quite full, so you can't do that, but still want to help. Having worked in the nonprofit sphere for close to a decade, I know that in many of these organisations, a bit of funding can make all the difference in actually being able to achieve things that make a real difference.


I understand that many of you are young and either don't have income or don't have enough income to really make a difference, so... let's help each other! I offer you a way to help finance to those organisations, through TG.

As you may already be aware, TG sports a points shop:

Under the "Donation tokens" section of this shop, there are tokens you can get for forum points, which will direct a part of TG's budget to a donation towards that organisation. Which tokens you get and how many is entirely up to you (they will end up in little stacks in your postbit).

Since we've been getting more other items in the points shop, fewer people have saved up for those tokens, but I'm hoping that my explaining this to you will make the difference.


Because the exchange rate between TG forum points and real-life money is quite low, some of those tokens can cost a lot of points! So, I put together a small guide to help you figure out how to earn more forum points:

In short, the easiest way to earn points is to post engaging threads in the forums, that many people will feel like replying to. Just posting in the forums also counts for quite a bit of points.


When a token you've brought gets processed, you will get a little message with proof of the donation. We also sometimes get a thank you from one of the organisations and of course I'll share that with you guys.

Thank you for helping TG help nature and animals.

LP,
Dusty

Howldy, folks!

The TG Staff Team has some commewnity news, upcoming events, site changes, and tips and tricks to share!

If you're a TG forums member and you're interested in more information about one of these things, make sure to click the related links below!

As many of you have probably seen by now, TG's staff has recently been overhauled to add several new members (myself included). We've been settling in quite well all things considered, but we've been very busy at work with new developments. Part of these developments is an overhaul to the staff teams system—and a very exciting one at that!

This overhaul, of course, comes with new teams for the participating staff, but it also include tweaks to the existing teams as well. For ease of access, I'll list all the teams and what they stand for here.

All of the pretty colors and banners in one place!

Hello everyone,

For those of you who are new to TG, you may not be aware that there is a points store:
https://forums.therian-guide.com/newpoints.php?action=shop#content

The items at the top are purely symbolic, but at the bottom are items that do things. They either give your username a color, or they give you the ability to receive free therian merch, or at the bottom are tokens that will make us make a donation to some animal charity in your name.

I realise times have been kinda hard and we've not been thinking about charity much, however these things really help the organisations we support and we've already sent thousands of dollars their way.

Here are some tips how to earn points. In short, all you have to do to earn them is be active on the forums and post interesting stuff. I invite you to collect these points and then use them to either help charities, or get yourself something snazzy from our merch.

Hello,

I would like to remind everyone that if anyone has any questions, you can always come to us on TG staff to ask -- use whatever channel you most prefer, and we'll do what we can to help you. (Of course questions regarding therianthropy are best answered by our members in the forums.)


Recent drama may have left some of you feeling anxious, and the fact that we have never responded to the drama publicly, may have left you wondering why that is.

The reason why we didn't respond is simple: We have no wish to feed the fires. We believe the actions of those who engage in drama should speak for themselves.

Delicate matters need to be dealt with appropriately. So if you have any questions about what happened and so forth, ask us and we will explain. But don't expect us to be broadcasting bewares in public spaces any time soon. We think by now the entire community should understand that therians are a relatively small group in the grand scheme of things, and that degrading any therian, degrades us all, in the eyes of the public.


I promise, that any threat to members on TG was closely examined and dealt with appropriately. You are safe here. If you have any concerns, let us know and we'll look into it.

We remain dedicated to being a home for all therians, and to help you learn how to deal with your therian experiences.

LP,
Dusty
