I was referring "You" as "In General". Sorry for not making myself clear.

If you two want to argue so much, take it to private messages or somewhere else. This isn't the place for it. I could have deleted the messages and "overmoderated" but I see no reason to do so if everyone can get along or ignore one another.
On topic, give it another 10 years from now and I'm sure there'll be some new sites that take over the popularity of Facebook, Twitter, etc. The saturation of content we have available at anytime on so many different sites is insane.

Exactly. MySpace was the big thing.....until it wasn't anymore.

I don't see anyone arguing, just someone trying to spark a debate that fizzled before his first post really started. In fact, it was more a slam on the moderation staff than anything, challenging you to delete his posts to prove him right.
One day, hopefully there will be no more "forums" like this anyway and we can all be on equal ground like Social Media and moderate for ourselves by simply blocking someone and never seeing them post ever again. That is brilliant, compared to this format where bias, complacency and emotion seem to be common place if you read Michael's original complaint. Again, civility can cure all this.

all the mods here say take it to private messages, and then they took away my ability to send private messages LOL
and i know "this isn't the place for it" that was my point this forum can't handle simple disagreements

Sorry there's nothing "uncivil" about a blanket statement mentioning that " One shouldn't have to be taught manners on a Foot Fetish forum" (obviously by moderators since they have the power to delete your posts and ban you if need be). That's creating an argument where there is none and I understand Rocky's concern. Patrick's "Be Civil or Be Gone" thread is MUCH more polarizing yet I don't hear complaints about it. This is your thread now, you own the topic. I've been completely civil and completely agree with and honor the moderator's rules. If there's anything else to be said, like they say, send me a private message about it.

I still lurk here from time to time, but like others have said, Reddit/IG/Discord, etc have become easier outlets to find foot content.
Personally, I rarely post on forums anymore, I much rather have personal intimate conversations via Kik, IG, and/or Discord with people who are in the same kink as I am about girls feet.

I can give you 2 reasons why it has been slow in here.
1. the amount of women on here vs going to another social media site like twitter and instagram where the women will talk to you in private message, post pics, and do live shows. honorable mention: fetlife (because everyone on the site is extremely kinky!)
2. cell phones! everyone uses the same apps twitter and instagram because they can access them anytime anywhere because they just about always have a cell phone with them. Wu's does not have an app unfortunately so it can be used so easily by hitting an app on the phone.
I myself even do not post here as much as I used to and I should do it more, no excuses!
I think that Patrick has done a superb job stepping in for Wu. He has ironed out some wrinkles (a few pretty serious ones) and improved the site, as a whole.
I agree that times and preferences change and there is a whole lot more material out there than when I first came here. Nevertheless, I think this site and its format are quite sturdy and should have an audience for some time to come.
Regarding over-moderating, it has always been my policy to say nothing if I can't say it nicely (there is one notable exception that others would have to search). As a result, I don't think that I have ever had a mod issue.
As for myself, I just haven't had the time to devote nor have I had much to say that I thought was worthy of posting.
quote:Originally posted by Fair Adam: I think part of it is that the net is now saturated with foot fetish content, so traffic is more spread out for all sites.

Some of the models have thousands of followers and these moronic guys actually send the models Amazon and Visa gift cards. They don't have a snowball's chance in Hell of ever meeting these women.

there are only so many times you can talk about the following topics
favorite nail polish color is foot fetish normal? how do i tell a girl i like her feet?
Agree with all of these.
Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, PornHub, etc, are now the places to go for content. I'd say mostly YouTube and Instagram. There are several YouTube channels of guys who do random on the spot encounters with females, YouTuber girls who show their feet, Instagram accounts of guys that do random on the spot encounters with females, girls who flaunt their feet on Instagram for attention, celebrities who post foot selfies on Instagram, YouTube channels of guys that go out and do candid content, etc. Foot fetish I think is becoming a bit more mainstream than it was before, so you can find free quality content on a lot of popular social media outlets.
I also think newer generations of foot guys don't really want to talk about feet but simply just want free content to jerk off to, and the aforementioned sites provide that in abundance. And also as was mentioned, there's only so many times you can keep talking about the same topics regarding feet over and over on foot forums.

I don't know, when I found Wu years ago youtube was still another primary source of checking out foot related content. Something about this community attracted me in a different way and I've not left it checking in now and again, and a short stint of actually uploading content. Its true "there's so many times you can keep talking about the same topics..." but it's also true that you can only breathe so many times before it's just a normal thing you do until the day you die. Most of us have an interest for life and there can always be new experiences that deepen or satisfy you. It may also be true newer generations of foot people don't want to talk about it, yet. Usually when you are younger things are new and your in it but then you reflect and search for insight which is where some of the more experienced can come in with guidance or entertainment at least. I'm 27 by the way.

Inspiration of air is a normal thing you do because it's something you have to do, otherwise, you die. You don't have a choice. Talking about the same redundant topics regarding feet on a foot forum isn't something one has to continue to do when it gets boring.
I don't think though it's so much newer generations don't want to talk on forums because they're shy about their fetish. When one joins a forum, that's usually the very reason they join: To discuss an interest of theirs in anonymity with other like minded people that often times, they can't talk about with others in person. I think it's just because many of them are simply looking for self gratification. Like Chevezzz and footexhibit mentioned, they're probably flocking to sites like Instagram because some of the foot models there will talk to you in the comments section of a picture or via private message, and also do live shows. Same with these YouTuber girls who show their feet. They'll post in the comments section of the video, hoping to get a response from the girl. There's actual interaction between them and the females whose feet they're jerking off to and they'd probably rather talk to these girls so they can ask their sexual questions about feet (regardless of many of these guys not having a snowball's chance in hell of ever meeting up with many of these Instagram models like Chevezzz mentioned) as further masturbation fuel, rather than bullshit about their sexual proclivities with other dudes. That's probably why even on here, you'll see a thread of some newly created account asking if there's any females on here who want to talk with him on Kik or something of the like.
