Full House

During the last few months, there have been complaints of issues with logging in. Sometimes this could be a bug. But in this case, Wolfhome is growing! Wolfhome has become a rather popular place and sometimes cannot house everyone that wishes to get on. In order to help with lag and other issues, there has been a cap placed ont he number of free users that can log on. Currently, the number is set at 300.

What does this mean? This means, if you do not pay for your account, and there are already 300 members on, and you have a free account, you will not be able to log on until the number drops below 300. If you are a paying member, there is no need to worry, you will always be able to access Wolfhome. If you are experiencing other issues with logging on, please make sure you contact an admin, fill out a problem ticket, or check the Chat and Forum Techincal Support area for help.


Reporting Art Theft - A Reminder

Please remember that when reporting art theft, doing it publically via the forum is not tolerated! It is the same as publically posting about how a user harassed you, or said or did something you did not like.

We have found in the past that "naming and shaming" has caused upset and flaming (even amongst those not accused), especially when the accused is in fact innocent. We aim to have a more welcoming attitude and thus we discourage the "naming and shaming" policy.

Wolfhome also has the policy that users deserve privacy, even when breaking a rule. It makes our job harder as admins if the user has been accused outright, as they may remove the images or any evidence of stolen works. While we do see the bonuses of it being pointed out in public, it can cause even more issues if it is left unchecked in the public domain. Due to the high volume of posts and threads made everyday some may be missed, sadly we cannot always keep up with everything on the boards. Contacting us directly will ensure that the art theft will be stopped ASAP.

There are many ways to report art theft, the quickest of which is to PM/send an in chat message to a member of the ART or Forum Department. A list of admins and their roles can be found here. Other methods include emailing the ART directly at wolfhomeart @ yahoo.com (no spaces), contacting an ART or forum member in chat or filling out a problem ticket (there is link to this on the home page).

Meet the Administrative Team

We would like you to meet the administrative team of Wolfhome that is here to help you by maintaining a safe environment on chat. Here is are a few of the current administration and a little bit of information about them.

Selendris (Alpha): Howls ! I am a 30 year old Wolf Therein living in Germany. I am an Archeologist specialized in Celtic and Roman culture. I enjoy taking long walks, quite a lot of sportive things, Animals, Nature, anything Medieval, Larp, SCA... there's a lot really. I've been hanging around this place for over a good decade now and still enjoy roaming the Chat always hunting for some good conversations and new acquaintances. So don't be afraid to ask me anything. I don't bite!

Katanya (Beta): Hey there :D, My real name is Jess and I live up in Canada :D, I am going to school for Web Programming and am going into my second semester in the fall :), Not much to tell. Talk to me I am super friendly and like meeting new people :D

Firenze (Gamma): Hey, I'm Firenze, previously known as Ice. Been on WH since 1999, so I know my way around. I'm a 26 year old therian currently living in Quebec, Canada and working as a glorified tech support. I love art, nature, anything before the 70's, vintage cars and so forth. I have a weird fondness for fungus, reptiles, Phasmatodea and hickory horned devils. I'm an artist and a nerd, quite friendly but shy. If you want to know more, have a question or just simply need to talk, don't hesitate to contact me. :)
