This site was amazing, till everything posted here was shared across the entire internet. Now it’s just a shadow of what it used to be. Sad really. There maybe should have been measures taken to keep lurkers from doing that. Oh well. A great opportunity missed.
I’ve thought of creating a site that would mitigate those problems. But sounds complicated.
Would have shared my stuff by now if I could be sure it’d be just for this community. But you can’t possibly assure such a thing.
if i recall there is a level above platinum. it's the verified section where the individual is vetted and that section is like G14 classified. :D
This site is dying because it is crazy expensive. Tumblr has all the same stuff... pretty much. I simply don't need super-HD 20+ minute videos to get off, and I simply don't give a shit whether its a video of a member or not. Nor does anyone else. I think we have found the crest of the internet... who needs better resolution? Higher speeds? What do you need your phone to do that it already doesn't do? Why does anyone want to pay more?
Ah well, it was good when it lasted. I'd rejoin if the prices dropped, but the prices here are crazy.
Hey, owners and admins of FF.com: You are overpriced and will be gone soon because of that. This is jack-off material, not anything else. It's 2018, and you know all this.
I'd like my phone to do more, I'd like it to project holograms. I'm sure it will in another 20 years, if it's still around as a handheld device - and I'm pretty sure it won't be. I'd also like it to be faster when it's off Wi-Fi. And I'm sure we'd all like a better signal. As for videos, some people on here do want longer content and have said as much to me. I prefer 1080p HD to some grainy S-VHS lookalike. VR is taking off. As for price, well it's still less than most pay sites and some, indeed many, people still use pay sites. The real problem - well I wouldn't say it's a problem, it's a combination of trends. I have threads on platinum that are 5 years old. I figure that the number of views has dropped across that 5 years by more than half. More people are using the tubes and social media for their content, but this is a poorly moderated space confined to small clips. it's still great, but it's time consuming to navigate and limiting. We seem to have lost our couples, not helped at all by having their content spread about - some people do care about that. The number of people willing to contribute and feedback has also shrunk and so to me as a regular poster it feels a lot like peeing in the wind. The underlying forum software is antiquated, but options to replace it are limited. However they are out there.
The key strength here is the well moderated space, special interest nature of FF with some committed people and content that is well curated. The weaknesses are an ageing forum technology, a drop in participation and loss of amateur contributors.
I think it can be revitalised, but on the current trajectory I doubt we'll be around in our current form in another five.
I have contributed lots of pics over the years. I just don't collect videos, and in a way, I actually prefer pics (I'm weird). Agreed, the build of this site is ancient, and it's a pain to use. I will miss it when it is gone though.
Just for example... look at this ABSOLUTELY amazing, and of course free, Tumblr (remove the spaces):
https: // wifesex faci alam ateur . tumblr. co m
The rest of the net moved on, and FF hasn't. Seriously... split video files for 3-5 minute clips? Who's gonna pay $80 for that? Would I prefer HD, awesome long videos? Sure... but again, this is jerk-off material. It's not National Geographic or Martin Scorsese. Ah well... times change.
:sad:
Plus there is now Malware on this site, very sad indeed
Where exactly is this malware please? I am on here for hours every day and have never had a problem.
Sorry but I completely disagree and so do many members here.
We are a community far more than just a "porn site"

The web sucks for the most part but this is the only place I never have to deal with negativity or rude people. It is the place that made me comfortable with sharing my pornographic images so many years ago before I had a site. Simon and FacialAdmin were the owners then. They are the owners now.
I understand your point largeloadman. Something happened years ago with re-posting and a bunch of super cum loving couples left the site. What we have to do is figure out some way to build FacialForum back up. Maybe a verification only section would work but it would cut down on how many people could enjoy the posts which as an exhibitionist is what we want.
Let's think of some positive ideas on how to help make FacialForum what it used to be. The biggest and easiest step is that all of you lurkers out there need to post a thanks or comment when you see something that excites you. The posters here post to get your feedback. It turns us on. If we have turned you on, post a comment and turn us on. This is a community of cum enthusiasts. This is why we are here.
I have found several playmates on FacialForum who are repeat stunt cocks for me and who have become friends because this is where the respectful cum Perverts hang out. I don't find them from the tube sites or the kink swinger pages. I find them here where the hard work of the owners and moderators keep the trolls at bay. I am serious. This is the only place where I have met the majority of my cum giving friends. :tongue_sticking_out
There is so much content on this site that one can't possibly find it all and download it in one month or even two. My man has repeatedly asked me over the years to be more careful in my downloading because I fill up the computers in a weekend with the wonderful uploads from people like Vectorunner, Pierre, AceOfCock, NaughtyCumslut, snesh, dirtydave79, Missy1974, Spence, loadmaster011, Slickrick2nd, jimull, wobblybob54, hard22, elgrego, prrp99, jizher, winstanley, alkie, greyhound, just to name a few.
Vectorunner is the real problem. His huge uploads rock and I can't resist downloading them! :rofl:
Also remember, servers cost money. I am aware of what porn sites make and the owners are not getting rich from FF. I have my site for the kink of it. If it was for the money, I would have shut it down long ago. (Plus my site is the only way I find men who are into my kinks and able to deal with the dirty things I need. :rofl:)
Thanks Simon, FacialAdmin, greyhound, spence, ronaldbr, dirtydave79, buster, Jimcorsair, Missy1974, Uncut1974, snesh for all of your hard work to make this a great and safe porn site for us to enjoy.
Be positive people. That is why we are here.
Piper
That was a good page btw Pranky!
I think it's a matter of building on what makes this such a great place. A place for conversation and sharing and curating content.The vbulletin forum should be the community core, where the threads and posts can continue. This functionality isn't easily replicated on the social platforms that tend to be all about act and react with little room for long lived conversation.
The core should support conversation and sharing, including links (with some hotlink protection) to the other platforms such as tumblr. I for one would appreciate a new section for sharing.
The platinum section could be shifted to a direct download location, just a secure web site sharing login credentials with the forum. This would remove the limitation of chunking downloads and keep a pay stream open. The archive probably just needs folding in as a value added thing.
About Malware. The only source of Malware would be in the advertising content, potentially running malware code.
Malware Piper is just a general term for malicious software that when embedded in a Web site subverts your computer in some way, using your browser or some plug-in to do it. I run MalwareBytes which has a great reputation for detecting malware and it's cool with this site. It blocks a lot of Tumblr page pop ups however. So there you go!
Thanks Piper:winking:
On the security issue, malware as a rule gets passed around by permission, so you actually need to accept it, so although you are being told its a vid, pic or mp3 it has something embedded in it, the malware.
i have scanned all our files and can find nothing.
it would, as already stated, be more helpful if we had further info about what it was, instead of the simple claim that we have malware here.
And if you have any concerns, the first place to look is your own pc and that is always the target of a malicious script.

We are a community here and also provide great content... AND lots of it.
If you don't like it here you know what to do...

The Facial Forum is still relevant because it is a specific niche that caters to a broad audience. Although its theme is inherently pornographic, the implication is expansive. Two components are the driving forces that dictates survivorship of this forum like many others on the world wide web. People who contributes statements for every thread and individual posts establishes the foundation. Content is the second factor that builds the pool of participants and audience members. Lacking one of these elements hinders the vitality of this website.
I continue to visit this site primarily for the people. I use other forums and websites to get my "porn fix" but I hardly see redundancies between those other sites and Facial Forum. I've always had a positive experience coming here (no pun intended). People are welcoming, engaging, and respectful. I think to live in a democratic community we need to have open discussions like this one so people let their voices be heard and acknowledged. The Facial Forum provides a platform to exercise these rights. The format of this forum does not bother me; I don't need a glossy looking website with fancy new technology. The layout is effective and user-friendly. I imagine Facial Forum is like a local business rather than a giant corporation. I try to support the small local businesses in my community when ever I can. Paying a little extra is worth it because there is accountability when things go wrong. Servers costs money to maintain and websites always need upgrades/fixes.
This site can still continue to thrive without compromising its integrity by facilitating users to contribute their content. Since there is a plethora of pornographic websites available, selections of the appropriate content worth sharing here would be a good use of one's time. I encourage everyone to contribute to the threads when ever they can so we can all appreciate your work as well as respect you as a human being.
Cheers.
I read this thread and I can understand the points that are brought up here.
But I would like to point out that this forum is not just a pay site offering porn material. It is a forum that is run by enthusiasts, and what made me stay for ten years is the fact that members and especially the people running and maintaining this forum are always friendly and helpful, with a lot of knowledge.
Anyone who has tried to run and maintain a forum site will know how much work this means, and that there are costs to pay.
Sadly I am not around here that often lately, and even worse I have become a lurker. But that is not because I don't like it here. Life and work just take its toll and I can't find to contribute much.
And there is one more thing I realize: Being in the 40s now, I start to think that everything was better in the past, sounding like my dad or senior men when I was a young hot shot 25 years ago. Maybe that is true, maybe not. One thing is sure: things will always develop and change, but it is our call what we want to do. Regarding FF, we can stay and enjoy the forum, or we can move on and focus on something new.
I guess I will propably be around here the next ten years.
Great conversation here! Thank you everyone for contributing. I feel more positive about it here now. I agree with the great points made, and the spirit of the community is next to none!
I can't believe someone is complaining about this site.
Un-fucking-believable.
Not complaining. Just trying to start a constructive criticism thread. Let’s get back to the glory days and beyond! I know we can!
I've been a major contributor to this site, and it's still the best place on the net for cum loving guys and gals!!
Like Piper mentioned, it's a COMMUNITY more than just a porn site. The key is to encourage more amateurs to share their content and keep the community alive and healthy.
There is one absolutely AMAZING couple who are looking to get their start here on FF. I started a thread with a few teaser pics for them.
If you want to see them get verified and add TONS of facial content for you to enjoy, visit the thread and leave your comments!

I'll do my part to post more of my new material coming up, apology but I am so busy there is little time for me to these days but I will. Known some the members on here 15 years now, you kind of get to know them when there is interaction, which this board always has had interaction.
The internet has spoken. A few members and a couple admins will not change what is. Me being a long time member with fond memories does not allow me to discount the reality of why this place is in the state it's in. People could once freely post videos along with images and chat all they want for free and they cannot do that now. Once this became a pay site, its members sharply declined and contributions dwindled to where it is now and this is what we've got.
Dissidents are patriots too. This place has sat on its laurels for too long. My idea would be to open the pipe for free members to contribute videos, at the least. Adjusting the single file size limit would be a welcomed improvement.
We all want the best for this place.
