Tapestries MUCK

Tapestries MUCK (frequently informally shortened to Taps) is an adults-only social and roleplaying MUCK popular within the furry fandom. The overall theme of the game is a world of anthropomorphic animal characters who may participate in BDSM and sex freely in the public areas of the game world. Because the MUCK, a MUD-style online social game, is text-based, this amounts to cybersex (sometimes called "yiff" in the furry fandom, although this word has a subtly negative connotation).
No players under the age of 18 are allowed to join. Though this is almost impossible to verify, players found to be under the age of 18 are typically banned from the game server.
WIXXX
Tapestries is noted for its system of "wixxx tags," by which players may indicate their characters' sexual attributes or interests. This system has been copied, often with modifications, by other adult MUCKs. It was itself a modification of the more general "wi" system used by FurryMUCK to indicate nonsexual attributes of characters.
Reception
In January 2005, Tapestries was mentioned in a Wired News article as a place to find cybersex and a factor in "the deterioration of sex chat" on IRC. Because the servers were beginning to get flooded, the game's administrators shut down new character registration for over a week, with an explanatory note.
Tapestries was chosen as Sex & Games' "link of the day" on October 3, 2005.
