Not for me. I don't get this barrage of flaky cock sending men, couples are friendly and non pushy and single women can be incredibly supportive and even hot. Ridiculously hot. And flirty. And cute. 
Anyway, no. If anything it's improving for me. I think that's because I'm more open to finding people and using it as a tool not the solution. I do think more people are being messed around, well going off threads they are. Not sure why that is.  |

"Don't know. I do know this complaint has been made pretty consistently the whole time I've been here"
Yep pretty much this. The thing that sometimes changes is an individual's attitude to the site, how much effort they put in, how much they get fed up with the crap. |

The software and features on this site are about ten years out of date -- and some of the search options are reflective of attitudes even older.
So, every year that passes without an update adds to the lack.
The people, however, are essentially the same as they were when I first joined many years ago.

I find my opinion of the site corresponds with how I'm feeling. Sometimes I have a great outlook and find that fab works very well. When I'm more down, I tend to find it's worse. It correlates with my mood and how I'm using it at that time.
But I mainly use it to contact people I've met in clubs now because to me, that's one of the main purposes of the site. |

Out of date maybe but endearing… |

At times such as these OP I think of what Kipling would have said:
If you can keep your erection when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can take disbelief and sarcasm when all forumites doubt you,
But make allowance for their sense of humour too;
If you can fuck and not be tired by fucking,
Or being blocked, don’t deal in blocks,
Or being fabbed, don’t give way to fabbing,
And yet don’t look too close, nor talk too much rot:
If you can wank—and not make wanking your master;
If you can think (whilst wanking) —and direct your splurting aim;
If you can meet with size-queens and those that yell “faster”
And treat those two fabsters just the same;
If you can bear to read the truth about your profile being written
Twisted by the forum and told you break the rule,
Or watch posts descend into chaos, or see tongues firmly bitten
And cum and repeat without rubbing out your tool
If you can make one heap of all your verifications
And risk it on one pic in lingerie,
And UNLOS and start again at blank, full of consternation
And never breathe a word about sucking cock being gay
If you can force your cock in anus, but say you are not bi
To keep posting long after the initial point of thread is gone,
And so hold on when the cum is ready to fly
And scream to your meet: ‘Hold on!’
If you can talk with people in clubs with dubious virtue,
Or fuck with queens and princesses — with golden pussy to touch,
If neither deleted message or blocks can hurt you,
If all men are competitors against you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving profile
With sixty words worth of sexy fun,
Yours is fab and everyone that’s on it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a swinger my son! |

"Well I returned so I think it’s gone up hill again tbh.
Modesty was never your strong point  "
I tried it but it didn’t make any less people dislike me so I abandoned it  |

I think some people may feel this from time to time maybe it's the repetitiveness, maybe lack of correspondences with other users or just lack of potential meets.
From my perspective as part of a couple it's been much the same for the four years I've been using the site. |

Thanks for all the comments, seems the general consensus is that it’s not getting any worse !!
I was actually part of a Couples profile until last year so maybe it’s the difference in that I’m seeing, but it has been over a year now and quite a dry spell lol
Anyway, Happy Fabbing to all, thanks again |

15 years here and it's similar. It always goes through peaks and troughs, with seasons affecting it.
We each have to take responsibility for our results, learning and adapting as we get experience |

Nah you take a poem/song and make it rude. Not incredible, just a worrying insight into my mind, I did one for the Hotel California some years back, can never find it  |

"Get on a dating site and pay £100 membership to access extra features. You will find the extras are no more than you get on here for free."
There is free open-source forum software that, for example, allows users to attach images to forum posts, add parsable links, edit posts and format text. Actually, these kind of features have been around for over 20 years.
There are also free, dating, hookup and fetish websites that give people more filtering and profile search options.
Sure, you can still enjoy this website, but it's at least a decade out of date in every area, and that's most obvious in terms of sexual-preference and gender expression.

Lol.. so true it hurts .. the site look and feel is old but it's incredibly fast. So pages loads up fast without any scripts running behind. I like it. Although many from my hotlist have left the site over time, so that's sad. |

You have to be really behind with your Web knowledge to see these as 'fancy features' but yes you're right. Although I personally have little interest is meeting anyone from this website anymore. |

A better forum with those features would be great. |

It's dependant on the length of time a person has been on it.
When I first joined it was a whirlwind of exciting times I was thinking wow they move fast on here
Now 3 years into swinging loosening touch or fallen out with the unreasonable it feels like starting from scratch |

In agreement with this comment op.
Right attitude towards each other is key. |

The site hasn’t changed in 6 months.
Still has a forum. Still has status updates. Still lets you post vids/photos. Still lets you DM. The site support is the same cost. …
What are you saying up? It’s not changed one bit.  |

I've been on and off here since around 2008. Nothing is any better or worse, even a lot of the same usernames are still here.
Someone alluded earlier to mindset. If you're feeling shitty then your experience here will be the same. If your on a high, your experience will be positive. The site isnt responsible for your experience, that's down to you and your approach. |

Hi Op
The platform itself not changed. People have as some leave some stay some get married or divorce. I first found here in 2014 and left for a few years came back 2019. Left for lockdown and came back 3 weeks ago.
Attitude changes not Fab.

"Same. Feel like I’ve now met everyone from here that I’m ever going to, and the rest is just circular conversations that never go anywhere.
Having better luck elsewhere now x"
Yep. There is that feeling.
Either too far, too busy or just here for the forums. |
