There are also users that have elected to not make their profile and/or gallery visible to non registered users. Should we exclude them? Is there an easy way to?

FurAffinity is the world's largest furry community. Founded in 2005, it hosts 15,000,000+ images, stories, songs, videos, poems, and other files (mostly images).

When crawling FA, please bear in mind that it recently suffered a major DDoS, and the admins are likely still a bit jumpy about seeing unusually large amounts of traffic.

Things to be saved

  • Media files (including jpg, gif, png, jpeg, txt, swf, doc, docx, rtf, txt, pdf, odt, mid, wav, mp3, mpeg, and others?)
    • Descriptions
    • Thumbnails for files (Even for image files, as they are often different than a simple crop/resize)
    • Comments
    • Metadata (Author, submission date, category, theme, species, gender, tags, maturity rating, photographic meta data)
  • User profiles
    • Blogs
    • Page comments
    • Favorites
  • Forums
