I would leave. Not that that would make any difference, but other people might leave too.
I pay a nominal fee for an easier experience. I wouldn't pay to access other members, or receive messages from them.

It gives people an opportunity to find their way around the site before paying otherwise you just wouldn't bother as for the fakes and idiots you know with in a couple of messages |

Desperate men ain't gonna pay if they get no action. They would drop like flies. |

I was thinking more of the annual charge rather than monthly, there seems to be a lot of members who just join as its free.. interesting point tho  |

Based on what research.
Desperate men and women still have money. |

Be like people joining the gym in January then never using it again.
The threads moaning would be more entertaining though when they would be paying more.  |

We are members of other sites where you do pay, but like here you can still access certain parts.
Having to pay does not get rid of fakes or time wasters, it maybe cuts the numbers down a little,but every site has more than it's fair share of the above. |

Just wondering why, not criticising your comment in any way.... the membership fee isnt a lot of money for the time you get on the site.. we pay through PayPal ..nobody is really that much wiser unless they are on the site too |

Having to pay money is a deterrent. No one is going to pay money when they get nothing back.
I think a £10 fee would put off a lot of the fantasists, fakes and time wasters. Obviously not all of them, but it would certainly thin them out. |

There's always new desperate men
If we assume theres just 1 million desperate men in the uk
And men make up 75% of the typical 20k online users and each man lasts one month. It would take 5.5 years for you to work through just those men

You realise people who can get sex though would just go get it without paying a tenner. The people who cant get sex wpuld sign up in hope even if they only sign up for one month they would then massivly out number everyone else |

Yeah but not everybody pays and they can still message. You should at least have to be a site supporter to message.

This site is a business and like all business's they must make money to survive.
They make enough by people upgrading and adverts it seems or they would have went down the paying members only road a long time ago. |

I don't think that follows at all. Its not exactly easy to get swinging sex without going on sites like this or going to clubs.
If you seriously want to meet swingers you'll pay your £10. If you just want wank fodder, you'll forget about sites like this and look at some free porn. |

I understand what you mean, I dont think I worded the initial question very well tbh, access I agree I wouldn't pay to access per month but to retain annual membership on the current system with the benefits we have ..yes I would do every time.. its like the gym membership scenario you join for a year go once.. you either use it or you dont.. thanks for the input..really good |

There and to the left a bit |
Two reasons making it paid only aren't a good idea:
(1) It wouldn't change a thing, you'd still get those that don't "get" swinging/NSA signing up and paying the fee, and being just as disruptive as they are now.
(2) You think the level of entitlement from some users is bad now - imagine what it'd be like if they had all paid a fee? Can just see the posts along the lines of "I've paid good money to join this site but no-one wants to meet me - waste of time" - you get them even now, they'd be worse and more if people were forced to pay.
The site works perfectly well as it is - the key is knowing how to use it to maximise your enjoyment of it and minimise the irritation - the tools are there to do that. |

I'd just use the tenner to go to a club that would be money better spent for me
If you believe money Is the only thing that promotes a "genuine swinger" is arguable that a site like this isn't really for you anyway |

You think men won't pay £10 a month to get live pics and wank chat off women, and other men?

That attitude was exactly what Gemini man was referring to "I'll pay to get results"
It's just not what the site or swinging is about |

The site supporter fee is quite small , and I believe that new members shouldn’t be able to send messages until they are both a site supporter and photo varified, it would help to out the time wasters who just create a profile to kill time . |

I do agree to some extent, however the price of site support is quite small and the photo varification process is very easy , I believe it would enhance the site experience for all ,
And all for the price of a big Mack meal and 5 mins of your time .

You csn block people who arent verified as well!?
Tell me how paying a monthly fee to do exactly what you can do now improves in any way?
Again your changes all already exist.
So many times these threads seem full of guys who think if the "competition" was thinned theyd all get loads of meets.

We've seen fakes and weirdos who have been site supporters so a pay wall isn't the answer. A fiver for 60 days access to the extra site benefits is OK, given how much we use the site. I don't think we'd bother if it was more expensive. |

That is a good point. Paying won't get rid off time wasters etc if that is the desired outcome. |

Fabswingers...fun, free and fabulous.
The ethos of the site is that it's free with the opportunity to contribute to support the site and gain extra features. Take away the free element and you remove one of fabs main attractions.
The minor problems we encounter after applying various filters and using our bs detector will not be solved by making people pay a fiver. |

not really because the 30000 change regularly, usually when the wife catches them on here and unless you make the fee high it really will not deter too many of the pic hunters and guys that get off on trying their luck  |

I think people that pay should get better options on searches and be able to edit the way their profile looks and appears .
The site takes in a lot of revenue and there’s been very little changes over the years. All paying members currently get is more photos more cams and the ability to see whos looked at them . |

Yes we have applied all the filters.
But a non paying profile can still see a great deal of a paying profile.
Our concern ,which is from recent experience, is that if someone wants to catch you in the lifestyle...a reporter or nosey neighbour they can easily, for free, set up a profile and view lots about you.
You do not have to look to hard on Google for profiles on Fab that have made the newspapers or online news reports.
It would be good to restrict what can be seen .
And probably due to recent data protection laws it is now a legal requirement to provide that.

"The site supporter fee is quite small , and I believe that new members shouldn’t be able to send messages until they are both a site supporter and photo varified, it would help to out the time wasters who just create a profile to kill time .
You can block newbies and non site supporters!!!
It’s not about reducing competition, there are lots of 100% genuine people on this site that are neither site support or photo varified or who’s site support has lapsed and have not renewed it , I don’t wish to filter these options as this would not allow these profiles to interact with me , Maybe compulsory site support isn’t the answer however maybe a cooling off period of a week or 2 , where they have very limited interaction options , if there genuine they will either wait the 2 weeks or so or pay for site support.
I’m talking about ing out the numptys that just want a laugh rather than the genuine people,
Your proposed changes affect no one and make no change except to limit others choices
I do agree to some extent, however the price of site support is quite small and the photo varification process is very easy , I believe it would enhance the site experience for all ,
And all for the price of a big Mack meal and 5 mins of your time .
You csn block people who arent verified as well!?
Tell me how paying a monthly fee to do exactly what you can do now improves in any way?
Again your changes all already exist.
So many times these threads seem full of guys who think if the "competition" was thinned theyd all get loads of meets.

Have everyone verify themselves before they can do anything. that would cut down alot too
I don't know if having guys pay but women/couples have the current system is particularly good and its pretty sexist even though the ratio's would even out more doing this. the aim would be to improve the number of women/ couples as opposed to lower the number of men
Either way taking out fakes etc is good.
I think the level of abuse i see some people get is pretty horrific, reporting could be taken more seriously, however this is open to abuse.
So many women join, only to leave within a few days. Someone i got talking to on snapchat very soon on said she got a message saying they recognised her and she only posted a body pic (no tattoos). How freaked out would you be.
I think the question is how do we get women/ couples to stay??
We could limit the amount of messages new accounts could receive? someone an hour in opening their inbox to receive 100 messages is pretty overwhelming.
Only paid accounts could message new accounts? I think this is a pretty good option! |

If you think making this site a paid side is going to cut out fakes, idiots, dreamers and time wasters it won’t trust me.
I’ve been on paid dating sites thinking that it would cut out the above and be full of genuine guys who was serious about dating and it didn’t cut them out the sites was rife with them.
Don’t fix something that isn’t broken I say.
The site runs well be you a site supporter or not.
Just go with gut instinct if you think someone ain’t real or a time waster. |

"I would leave. Not that that would make any difference, but other people might leave too.
I pay a nominal fee for an easier experience. I wouldn't pay to access other members, or receive messages from them.
I would be one of those leaving."
Why would women leave? Fab is a river of cock for them.... single guys may leave, but there would still be loads left over. |

Subscriptions don't tend to work for sites like these. Site supporter is a good method of generating some income to keep the site going.
But site supporters should get some additional benefits. My top ones would be:
1. Ability to see everyone who's viewed my profile (non-contributors cannot)
2. Ability to see all forums (non-contributors only access selected ones)
3. Ability to see all public pictures (non-contributors only see 2-3 selected ones)
4. Ability to fab pictures (non-contributors cannot)
5. Ability to read published verifications (non-contributors can only see the summary)
These changes would not affect the free core aspect of the site which is to meet other swingers (by reading profiles, seeing verification summaries, messaging and chatrooms). But those who contribute would get additional functionality from the site. It would reduce the number of picture hunters and those not actively interested in swinging without any loss to the site. |

Do you really think having a paywall would stop a newspaper? The cost of membership would be nothing to them - so having one wouldn't make the slightest bit of difference on that score. |

And people not associated with sites like this have had the same happen to them also
Even when viewing you on a live cam people can screenshot it as a still to use against you and bring back to your association to the site should they wish to |

True their membership would be classed merely as a company expense in those circumstances |

Nope. I actually do support the site. No way would I join a fully paying site as 99.9% of them are scams. Half the paid sites out there spam you with fake winks, profile views and messages. As soon as you pay to join the site, the messages suddenly dry up. Some of them actually pay people to reply to your messages but of course they'll never meet you, it's just to keep that monthly subscription rolling in. |

"Fabswingers...fun, free and fabulous.
The ethos of the site is that it's free with the opportunity to contribute to support the site and gain extra features. Take away the free element and you remove one of fabs main attractions.
The minor problems we encounter after applying various filters and using our bs detector will not be solved by making people pay a fiver."

Why would you not want people who don't pay not to be able to message?
If you only want site supporters to contact you then change settings. |

There are plenty of sex sites that require a paid membership and are much more popular than this one, so why would anyone join this one at that point? |

Personally I think you should have three months to try the site for free - that’s long enough to decide if it’s ‘for you’ or not - then be asked to become a site supporter or leave!
With that money we could have improved features like more search options (i’d Like to be able to search and filter by height and body type) and better club/event listings (chronological (date of event order) would help a lot - as would having clubs sectioned into areas! Finding an event or party to attend at the weekend can be an arduous process at the moment! |

It can take some guys 6 months to get a 1st meet, a 3 month trail wouldn't do them any good. |

It is for some people. Not everybody wants to go on socials, be wined and dined and share their life dilemmas. Some people just want to have nsa sex with other people.
Plus nothing would stop them from making another account in 3 months. |

Its right next to thw single men filter they all use though :p
If they cant even be arsed to read the sites tools I'd be amazed of they read profiles. I suspect many if the people complaining are viewed the same as the people they are complaing about by others |

Was thinking that there maybe could be an option for a members only section for those that want it, then realised that effectively there is - use the filter to block non members, which will create that members only section. |

Nope. Wont work. The one reason Fab is as successful as it is is because it's free (and we are paying members).
You can block unverified and/or non paying members if it's an issue to you though.

Why don't people run their profile how they see fit, and leave others to do the same?
It's not rocket science - you don't want to meet unverified people - that's your choice...don't!!! Some of us are able to make decisions of who to fuck without validation from a total stranger. If someone needs a total strangers opinion on whether they should meet another total stranger, that is their choice - it's not mine, but live and let live! |

I'm business sense I don't think it was the ethos fab ever wanted.
They want you to 'donate' when you can and give you perks for doing so.
I am sure if they was to move to this model plenty would leave and a Phoenix will no doubt come out of it offering the same service. Fabs will no doubt loose a lot of advertising income due to reduced subscribers and on the balance it might not pay off for them.
Plus the person who set it up would completely change their ethos and values potentially. |

Actually it wouldn't - as has been said several times on this thread, other similar sites that you have to pay for as just as full of them.
Plus add to that the sense of entitlement they'd have if they had paid and it would only make things worse.
The site works perfectly well as it is if you approach it in the right way and with the right expectations and I really don't see a need to change that |

What if you're not having a good time? I find this site can be hard work. OK I have a few people I chat with, but that's it.
Recently, I've been chatting to someone, getting on well, then I sent them a face pic and they immediately blocked me. OK I realise my face isn't under the control of the site owners but I felt like shit for several days afterwards, despite my skin being pretty thick I found that was a bit of a blow to my confidence. Like hell would I continue to pay an expensive monthly subscription to experience that again! |
