I am an old school foot fetisher and it is sad to see the forums die off. I loved chatting with fellow foot friends without the scams, and someone always trying to sell something.
Is there anywhere that the community exists without commercial stuff and we can just talk?

The forum format in general is dying off across the web.
Nowadays, people--especially the younger generations--are on social media, Reddit, and Discord servers.
It's a shame, but it's just the way the winds are blowing.
As for this site specifically, I definitely also feel that it's on its last legs, and I was thinking that when looking that the main page and Contributions page. There's barely any updates on the site anymore, and the Contributions game has slowed down significantly; in fact, as of this post, there hasn't been an update there since 11/29/2025.

I have also noticed that many of the foot sites haven't updated their models for like over 5 years! Why pay membership for a site when they don't have new updates?

I agree with another commenter: forums like this one are sadly bound to extinction He explained the reasons very well, and I have nothing to add. Yet I would be curious to know whether you file old-style foot pornosaurs, like me, and old-style paysites, like my own, under the "scams" and "commercial stuff" categories

So, how can we get more people to contribute to the forum? Where are the people going anyway? There's probably not a Facebook/Instagram/Twitter page on foot fetish is there?

With so much available, forums like this are hard to find. I still enjoy this forum, like to read what everyone contributes.

The big problem with switching to social media for foot content, is that you really can't hide it from the rest of your social media feed. Search for feet on Instagram or Facebook and then all of a sudden your feed is nothing but feet. You have to go back and block all of them to make it stop. Does anyone know of any way to access feet on social media without having this happen?

I mean, there's not much you can do. Even the regs here have gradually stopped posting or visiting. There's really nothing on forums that appeal to younger generations that they can't also get from social media, Reddit, or Discord.
Those sites are also where women--young and pretty ones, even--are posting their content. Whether they're actually doing it out of genuine love of feet, or just in it to make a quick buck is another matter entirely, but it doesn't change the fact that that's where they are.

That's why I use an alt account if I need to look that stuff up on Twitter or Instagram. Not that I use either site even semi-regularly, but a lot of people do, and sometimes you can find gold there.

This is also another factor. The vast majority of internet traffic nowadays is via smartphones and other mobile devices. Most forums are from a time before cell phones became viable internet browsing tools, and when you needed a PC to engage with the internet.
