If there's nobody else using the bandwidth and the server's clearly limited processing power, then it'll work faster for him, at least.

Stop the dick comments about non existent sock puppets! This website had many good features once but went downhill. Could new owners revitalise it and make it the world's best website for the BDSM lifestylers? Many bad people of I'll intent have Brought about it's present state. The owners, employees, moderators and members. Back in the day it lead the way.

In other words, you want people to be gullible enough to believe that somebody with a ten day old account is going to tell other posters about how bad people brought it to it's present state. No "new" poster is going to be extolling the 'back in the day' of the site. Only somebody who had a prior account would even go for the above. That means this screen name is a sock puppet.

Some free advice. If you're going to lie, put enough effort into it so that anybody with an IQ over 80 can't see through it in less than five seconds. Just a thought.

Anyway, I don't know what's wrong with the website. (I assume you mean the lag, time-outs, etc.) I have no idea what FD is doing right that everybody else seems to be doing wrong.

I can tell you something I've said a number of times over the years. If I owned the site, I wouldn't put any more money into it other than what was absolutely necessary to turn a profit. I might fix the hole in the roof at my buggy wheel factory, but I certainly wouldn't be revamping the whole production floor. I'd be looking at the fact that the business down the road that makes those rubber tires for automobiles probably has the better industry.

As a business owner, I would have to be looking at my competitor, seeing how he is cashing in, and recognizing how I missed the boat. Somehow, that guy built a product in less than three years that left me in the dust after being around for ten.

The "world's best site for BDSM lifestylers" changes from internet era to internet era. IRC, B.com, Alt... All of them, at one time or another, were the new best thing. Where are they now? Pretty much all replaced by the next big thing.

Personally, I think the "other product" is superior, at least 95% of the time. I can do vastly more things on Fet than I ever could have done in CM's heyday. I can find more events in my hometown than I could in an entire year on this site. The ability to post more pics/videos. I don't have to do summer-salts to check out a person's activity. I can set journal entries to 'friends only'. I can RSVP, publicly, to events, if I wish. I can keep my comments private, if I want. I can do at least sixteen things there that I can't do here. Those few things that I can do here that I can't do there, don't matter to me all that much.

But what FetLife doesn't allow you to do is browse profiles for a specific geographic area by narrowing or selecting a search ability. You have to end up searching through hundreds of profiles of men and women when you only want to browse profiles of women let's say and of a particular type, dominant let's say. So, FetLife lacks a few basic, common sense capabilities.

This is correct. Fet has no a/s/l search-type feature because it's not designed to be a dating site. Baku has said from the beginning it would not have such a feature and it still doesn't, even though some people complain about it not having one. It really is much more like a kinky Facebook and that was one of the huge draws for some women who split this site in favor of that one. Please keep in mind that not everybody is on certain kink-related sites for the purpose of dating or wants to interact with every person who has the ability to send emails just because they ran across their profile in some way.

So, those of us who already have our relationships the way we want them (in other words, not seeking), are just using the site to keep in contact with the people we know, or using the Events tab, really aren't that concerned about not having those features. I actually delete less unwanted mail there than I do here.

Funny thing about it. Engie actually did first contact me on Fet.

I have a lot of net tools... and yes, the forums are intermittent and time out. Freedomdwarf must have the luck of the Irish because I am getting lag right now (9:35 pm California server time). However, Collarspace/chat had a content repeater system last time I looked a year ago. So Freedomdwarf may be drawing his version of CollarChat from a different server than we do.

No matter how you slice it, the main Windows based server cluster in California is limping. They broke it a while ago and patched it back together leaving some holes in the database. That breakdown cost them advertisers. Then the owner fired the only tech and tech issues haven't been getting addressed properly ever since. I don't think they have the money to fix this place anymore. CollatChat has had some good patches where page fetching was 1/2 a second... but overall, this place hasn't worked right with consistency in a very long time. Which is why you haven't seen my posts in long time. I am not a masochist and refuse to be tortured by bad and broken software that is the result of bad business management decisions, no matter how sick the owner is. The owner has been sick for years, ever since he lost the Collarme.com domain. I feel for him but I lost patience long ago.

For all you troopers that still wade through all the lag and breakdowns to pay regular attention to this place, you have my respect and sympathies. Carry on...
