One of the best therian forums in existence. The current iteration of the Werelist was started in 2008. While activity has decreased somewhat since the peak years of the late 2000s and early 2010s, it's still a reasonably active site.

Project Shift is one of the foremost resources on therianthropy, and often is considered one of the go-to sources for a newcomer to the therian community. While the section of essays is relatively limited, they are some of the better ones out there.
