"The topics at times are poor and In my view irrelevant, it’s a swingers site for likeminded swingers, not politicians, football fans or economists "
I guess its each to thier own what interests you might not interest another

Fab in general has lost it's way. It's not the same as it used to be. Yes it's very quiet but people in general, I feel, just want to chat and not meet. This isn't Facebook, it's a sex site and I think most people have forgotten that x |

Agree, shag kiss avoid, like the plague. Beards ffs if you want to grow one just bloody grow one.... I ain't your dad.
Who's going to cjs, every week!!! Surely cjs has its own website?
Scottish football.... well we all know it's pish so best not shout about it.
What's your fav cake? Looking at some of the profiles I would say all of them.
Scottish forums are dire, but went into the chat room for the first time in years and there was 7 people in and only two talking.
I have used this site on and off for 10 years or so, maybe less, I swapped from Local swingers. I was on with my wife and we organised a few socials, had a couple of parties at our house and attended loads of other people's socials. I or we were probably fairly well known on here a few years ago where we enjoyed the craic on here and made real friends. Now back being more nosey than desperate for a meet, I find that Scotland seems to be in the doll drums. Where have the days gone that 30 of us cammed and laughed and even flirted or set meet dates? I hope it can return to that again. Hoping you all have fun. G |

Times change and people change ... sadly Scotland is in the prehistoric age and so is the general attitude .... it’s more like a soap opera than people actually living to have fun and live in an open minded society! |

Being very new to this we tried to meet and chat on here but found it difficult at times to find genuine people to start with...but by following some threads we have picked up usefull advice and help...
However not knowing the history between most people it at times is off putting when there is a lot of snide comments and obvious back stabbing which deter new members joining in on some threads.  Trina |

The Scottish room was awesome in here all those years ago  Met some great people who I now class as close friends from that room. Been on and off this site for 10 years now. Yeah it's different but I think that is more down to technology and how people use it nowadays. Different strokes for different folks. It's all about finding people who stroke the same as you

"Have to agree
The scottish chatroom yrs ago was legendary!!
99% of my meets came from there
Last time i went in i swear i saw a tumbl roll by!"
 chat rooms were fabulous back then
Only time I see a busy chat room now is when a female has her boobs out then it's a free for all with some terrible chat from guys ..it's like the shpeshal busses arrive at once |

They were the days J . Great evenings and at points couldn't wait for 7.30 when everyone's kids were in bed and we all just had a laugh. You were a mod in those days..... Ice queen lol.

Agree with most of the comments... I sometimes wonder if I've logged into Facebook by mistake. The online world has evolved into something totally different from 10 years ago and with that it brings along the keyboard warriors who hide behind their screens, people who wouldn't speak to you in person the way they do online ( for the record anything I say here I'll quite happily say in person )
People pass comment on boring topics yet don't start any threads of their own, ye it sometimes gets a bit repetitive but if it bothers you scroll into the one that doesn't

I don't agree with the last paragraph at all. A bit repetitive? A bit? You sir obviously don't look at the forums. At times it seems to be written by 11 year olds. We just need a forum on spots now . |

Totally agree with this. I enjoyed the forums and even chats room 5/6 years ago but now it’s very repetitive and still as cliquey as ever.
However I have met and still know some awesome people on fab so I shall not let a pish forum post as much as bother me.
Snog btw!!  |

Fab has deteriorated at an astonishing rate of knots over the past 12-18 months in terms of the type of people using the site and their reasons for using it.
For a significant percentage of members its not actually about swinging its about finding an “easy shag”. For others its a medium to chat with their pals (pick up the phone or go visit them that being the case).
The ones that absolutely perplex me are the 18-21 year olds who have hardly had a meaningful relationship and limited life experience and their on here claiming to be swingers. At 18-21 I was too busy clubbing and gigging (where if you were lucky there was the possibility of a shag) to even have considered swinging.
As for the Forums? Too many people trying to force their agenda/beliefs/views on others without the willingness to accept like adults that not everyone will agree with those views/beliefs/opinions. Dont even get me started about the cliques! |

It's different, certainly, but I guess it's just perspective as to whether that's good or bad.
I find it a bit tedious sometimes, as I'm sure we all do, but, sometimes the banter is phenomenal.

Ok... you say your on the forums a lot so if that was the case you would know how people sign their posts, if it's John he always signs it John. The rude part was you saying obviously I was brought up different implying that you had manners and I didn't. And yes we can agree on avoid

I'm like you..I don't care personally. My only feeling about the forums is that people can frequently "talk over you" which can for me be extremely off-putting - I have met others who have ceased posting on threads because of this, who are perhaps a tad more sensitive than me. |

And yes, forums are harmless fun and should be devoid of personal, snidey remarks and bullying. However I frequently come across the opposite which has possibly put many off posting permanently. |

What I mean is that comments/questions you add in relation to the topic are ignored and the conversation revolves around a few in the group only. But I will add that it happens less now and I don't let it be an issue. I do know that a fair few meets I have had have felt the same and because of this they never go on the forums. I have never once used the chat rooms so can't comment on that.

"Perhaps many are scared to share their opinions in case they get shot down in flames!
I used to be that person... now I don't care to an extent, as others have said it's not real life it just a bit of fun and a release

I'm like you..I don't care personally. My only feeling about the forums is that people can frequently "talk over you" which can for me be extremely off-putting - I have met others who have ceased posting on threads because of this, who are perhaps a tad more sensitive than me.
And yes, forums are harmless fun and should be devoid of personal, snidey remarks and bullying. However I frequently come across the opposite which has possibly put many off posting permanently. "
I agree with parts of this. the main problem is what is fun.
For most that frequent scotland forums now it means cake fpf sfa tot and does my ass look big in this.
thats all well and good for those who enjoy it unfortunatly it would seem alot dont so go eleswhere for what they deem fum topics |

I actually agree with this. I don't post a lot but read regularly. It is common to see someone post and it gets blatantly ignored as others chat amongst themselves as the thread goes off topic.
Just my opinion |

I am replying to you Tracey but not quite ignoring Pink Magic's similar comment if that makes sense! But I am not going to reply to them personally just because I am making my point here and seems pointless to do it twice.
I see what you are saying tough.
Personally, I am quite happy to say my bit and if people comment fine, disagree fine, ignore fine too. I think it depends on how you approach the forum.
Also some people have met forum users in the flesh so they may unintentionally gravitate towards them, no malice intended I think.
Just my opinion, hope this makes sense.

No it does. To be honest I was more aware of it as a newbie and it seldom happens now. I have found a few of the forum topics interesting and as I never venture into the chatroom I will be happy to say my piece here! |

I find it very cliquey.
I get folk know each other from socials etc and it’s not a criticism...it’s to be expected really but it seems difficult to strike up any chat when folk think you’re new.
Just my view, please accept it. |

One mention of cliques and it all goes Pete Tong. Dont know if it was being implied that I am a member of a Kik group and thus guilty of hypocrisy so just to set the record straight for those who havw heard differently I’m not. My views and opinions are very rarely popular so it would be nigh on impossible |

Sorry, I haven’t read the complete thread so I wasn’t implying anything at all |

Was gonna say that I'm still in the chat room but ffs, that might chase the rest of them away.
Wonder if the chat room banter is any better when I'm not online
