Site Question / Help Does this forum have a secure future?

[steve25805 126,023]

The reason I ask is that - in spite of my own intermittent presence - I cannot be alone in having noticed the near absence of Admin lately. In fact, I sent him a PM some ten days ago now asking if all was well and he hasn't even shown up to read it in all that time.

I am concerned that he might be losing interest in the forum which brings its continued existence into question. Because without him there will be no forum unless someone else were to take it on.

I am also aware that legislation is on the way in the UK in the area of age verification and children's access to unsuitable material and how such legislation can often be used to make things harder for legitimate adult sites which the authorities might disapprove of like this one. I do wonder if concerns about this could be a factor in Admin's absence. 

I am psychologically prepared now for a day when this forum might not exist because I do not think its survival is guaranteed. Only Admin himself can really provide me - and perhaps others - with the assurances we need.

It is even possible that this site might be ceasing to be financially viable.

If anyone has any news or info in these regards it would be welcome.

Well, in light of that possibility, I propose we workshop some type of contingency plan. You know like how families sometimes have a emergency meeting spots in case of a fire? Likewise, we should figure out a meeting place as if we all occupied the same big ass house.

Don’t see the point tbh. There are so many porn sites that have pissing content to look at. I joined here to meet like-minded people and figure out how to fulfill my fetish in real life, but no one seems interested in discussing that.

It's very regularly stated that we aren't a hookup or a dating site - we're a worldwide community and many people find the site to be unique in supporting respectful and mature chat with like-minded people from all around the world.

But arranging real life meet-ups is not what we're about.  It's not so much that nobody is interested, it's that it's against site rules, at least until people have grown to know each other through deep friendships.

I hope all is well with the site @steve25805 - and not just because my Gold subscription payment has just gone out lol.  Seriously, though, I would massively miss this place if it disappeared, so I hope @Admin is OK.

Boy the day I go to log into peefans and find out my favorite site has been nuked is the day I will probably cry. 

This site has been such a safe haven for me I can't fathom not having it. The friendships I've made here, sharing the most intricate details of my life with them and having them understand me and my fetish is something I've just never gotten out of my real life. 

But, i suppose it's good to be prepared 😔 nothing can last forever. I guess we can just hope that we have lots of time left and enjoy it while we can. 

I'm glad I've been collecting the contacts of my closest friends on here; those that have been willing to share with me. I feel like I know enough people that I could still pass along goodbye messages through them if the site went away 🤣

Love you guys!

We'll meet up in the comments of the most popular piss porn video creator on pornhub 🤣

So like anywhere else, the rich get richer. I have not propositioned anyone on this forum. I was asking for information about paying fetish models, from someone who brought it up themselves. I don’t see any rule about that.

I am always a proponent of having a Discord server set up for a community as a backup for communicating.

Hear, hear @Bacardi - Couldn't have put it better myself.

Off topic, but I suggest we change the name of the forum.

I suggest "PeePals".

Ya know, kinda like pen pals with no pens and more pee. Unless you count the use of a penis in the context of a pen....

😛

Only thing is - PeePals could be taken as meaning that we’re a site for finding real life pee pals. 

Twice today already I’ve had to correct that misunderstanding 🤣

I would be down for this but I bet modding it would be a nightmare.

Depends how many people join and how it is advertised

Funnily enough, I'm not a member of any porn sites. However, I did join reddit recently, where I discovered there's ALREADY a Takashi96! So I joined as Takashi692. In retrospect I should have made it "too." 

But seriously, I think we should start thinking about places to meet up if this place goes under.

(I actually do keep forgetting the name of this place and keep typing "PeePals", so for me it would lead to be an easier life. ;))

I love that name! And I actually thought about suggesting it before. However, I had already made enough wacky suggestions that week. I had a few other less funny ones as well. Weethepeeple, weepals, UrineNation, I can't remember the rest.

Hi guys, I understand the concern, but there's no need to worry. If for any reason I decided I couldn't run the site any more, I'd find someone else who could carry it on. But I am very fortunate that we have a great mod team in @Sophie @gldenwetgoose@Scot_Lover so the site runs smoothly even without me being here much lately. I hope to be more active in future but the site seems to be ticking along fine right now as far as I'm aware.

Having said all of that, if there are any active community members here who think they could do a good job of running/managing the site, by all means send me a PM. If there is someone who could be more proactive than I can, I would be happy to discuss some kind of co-admin arrangement.
