Pawsru.org, formerly Paws.ru, was an image board based on the 2ch style art community, where users can request and post furry related images. Hosted in Russia, Pawsru.org was an English-speaking board.
History
Created on September 13, 2007 as Paws.ru, the site was updated to Kusaba 1.1.0[clarify] on December 19, 2008. In March of 2010, Paws.ru changed its domain name to Pawsru.org. Once an active community, posting slowed starting around 2013. Spam plagued the site consistently in the last couple of years, with it becoming especially frequent in the month leading up to the site's closure. Mods combated and removed the spam as best as they could, but did not have access to the site's servers.[1] The site admin, Bartimaeus, seemingly became disinterested with the website, leaving mods frustrated with little course of action.[2] A dwindling user base, coupled with growing spam and helpless mods, eventually lead to Pawsru.org going offline on October 30th, 2015.[3] It is largely considered shut down.
Refugees from the fallout of the site created their own Pawsru board on 8chan[4] on October 16th, 2015.[5]
Much of the dead site is accessible through the Wayback Machine, though most images only appear as thumbnails (or sometimes not at all). The older Pawsru.org (Old Paws Archive) boards can be found here or here, with posts from 2008-2011. The newer Pawsru.org (PawsX) boards can be found here, with posts from 2011-2015. The last crawls of various boards for Pawsru.org span from April to September 2015.[6]
Mascot
Pawsru.org introduced a new mascot for the site on 2009. Said character is still unnamed (August 2009). Character created by by Krezz Karavan.
