"What do you think could be done to resurrect / reinvigorate the site?"
I don't think you can.
The chatrooms used to be buzzing, there were always lots of people on cam. These days if people want to entertain and engage with people on cam, they use another site and get paid for it.
I think if Fab swingers collaborated with an entertainment company, and hosted a series of quality swinging events, it may bring people back to Fab.

The cams are a fair point. Did the majority come to the site for that though, or for the genuine in-person connections and meets? Have they all now switched to alternates? Fab is surely the best non app based site though? Is it just not being “promoted“ / getting word of mouth the way it used to, particularly with women and couples? |

Was here originally in 2010 ! It’s deffo changed. Nowhere near as much fun, everyone’s so hung up on weird shit - it used to be fun! Parties were another level - I’ve only been to one that’s measured up and that’s Iza’s.

So how do you revive it? There are an overwhelming amount of guys on here. How do women spread the word to other women / couples and make the site what it was again. I agree, it used to be a lot more active / fun |

There has always been a huge imbalance between me male v females on here, that will never change. |

"It's not the site that's changed, it's the people 😭
Id go as far as to say the entire world has changed - and not for the better "
I don't think Fab is an accurate representation of the general population anyway, but yes the world seems to be quickly orchestrating it's own demise. |

Having been here almost since Fab started, I would be more inclined to say that the site has evolved rather than changed. Obviously as the site has expanded it's attracted different elements of society, each with their own different tastes and desires. We've also got older and a new younger generation of swingers with their own ideas of what constitutes, "Swinging" has emerged. It still seems to work for me in connecting with people on the same wavelength as myself, and whose boxes I tick especially where I come within their age criteria. |

A fair assessment. I think the site is less busy / active than it used to be however, and the gender imbalance does seem to have deepened. The generational point is a fair one, and I go back to perhaps people are using alternate apps now rather than this site / a site |

For me, it needs to be less men on here!
It must be 150 men to 1 women, they will leave and come back within a week, same photos, same attitude, so maybe not let them back on so easily, have a waiting list and if a profile is not been used for a year or so, admin could delete it.
Controversial!!!! but a name and shame forum, when people let you down at the last minute but with proof of messages etc
Just my opinion!! |

I disagree. “Us” seems to be an ever shrinking pool. What’s needed is greater promotion / advocacy. The site is fun, and continues to be. If it doesn’t reinvigorate however…

Shit changes
It's up to us to change with it  "

Having been here on and off for over 10 years the community feel has changed. It’s good that when I have gone due to work in the past I have come back to a fresh load of new faces but it’s still always heavy on males looking for a quick one nighter and not the thrill of seduction, anticipation and the taboo of it
What swinging is all about for me, it’s a way of life |

I actually took that comment as this thread being closed. I glad it hasn’t been, and thanks to those who corrected me. I think the discussion here is constructive. I hope it is at least. We all enjoy the site, my only question is whether we can do anything to improve it |

Agreed. Only block the idiots, and don't let the site get you down. It should be a fun experience for everyone. |

The block button is absolutely your best friend on here, and - personally - I have a great time on the site, and have some great friends and playmates on here. I guess my question should have been how do you spread the word about fab, to the right people? How do we improve and maintain the quality of fun on here? |

Been on here a long time. Been blocked and done the blocking too. I stay for the great friendships I've made. I sometimes feel though that a lot of people are joining fab thinking it's a "hook up" site and don't necessarily understand the swinging concept is as much about friendships and connections as it is about sex.. |

Things always change and evolve but not always for better .
As Fab has changed I think many swingers have changed the way they use the site. They meet more at socials clubs or events and go from there .
I have been lucky too and some of my dearest and closest friends I have met through this site . Some too many years than I care to remember lol and others more recently  |

Both fair posts making good points, and good to see female contributions on this subject. On this, how can guys make the site more appealing, and how can women help spread the word about it to other women? |

"No it's it at all like it used to be...we seem to be losing the community spirit..and its definitely becoming a money making entity "
Totally agree.
Yes the swinging community was smaller when I first joined Fab but everyone got on and nobody was charged to go to a house part.
The hosts would put on a buffet and everyone would take their own drink. |

There are defo too many men to women.
My way would be that site needs to attract new women (maybe a referral programme) and close registration to single men and have a waiting list.
Also there are so many time wasters and fakes on here. There should be a strike off button which is the opposite to a veri - 3 strikes and your out (or back on the waiting list)
This means the fakes and wasters are gone, there is a better make to female balance and the genuine people stay here.
That’s my thought based opinion 🤷🏻♂️ |

The site has definately changed. No manners with some and some think they are above others. Chat rooms used to be fun but a ceetain person spoiled that. To think i used to spend hours on the site and on cam. Now i am lucky to spend 10 minutes. Used to hold parties and have made some great friends on here. I do enjoy the social side. |

The consensus seems to be that there is a disproportionate ratio of men to women/couples. I suppose the easiest and most cost effective way to improve this situation would be to only allow site supporting male members, if people have paid their money they perhaps would be less likely to be abusive etc. You could still enable women and couples to join as none site supporters but would need to photo verify themselves first to avoid men setting up free fake accounts. |

Possibly the site is also too cheap too. Just means anyone can be a supporter! |
