As others have said earlier, I really miss Craigslist M2M. I'm sure I've had more hookups through Craigslist than any other website. Mainly because of Craigslist, I could get dozens of guys to come to a hotel cumdump with very little advanced planning. I've not been able to replicate the size of crowds at my cumdumps since Craigslist stopped taking hookup ads. 

omg i got so many loads dumped in me from craigslist.some days i would hop on my bike and ride around from place to place taking loads all day plus i had a few daddies make me really dirty ads, usually begging for poz cum and looking for guys with high viral loads and unmedicated poz cum to breed me.even advertised a few pozzing parties on there

Might be a little off topic but .. 

In the past week or so - a boatload of NSFW tumblr sites have disappeared - some of which have been around for ages (ages in tumblr-speak is over 5 years!).  And Apple pulled the tumblr app off the appstore.  There are a lot of rumors floating around that tumblr is shutting down - but if you do a little digging you can read between the lines that it isn't.  Tumblr uses automation to remove pictures  which violate it's TOS (terms of service) - copyrighted pictures, underage, etc.  Somehow Apple realized that tumblr wasn't doing a good job of removing offending pictures - and pulled the app.  Tumblr has been making up for lost time - removing offending pictures and videos - and as part of the sweep lots of tumblrs got removed. When a tumblr is removed - you can appeal to tumblr and I have seen instances where the tumblr has been reinstated.  For the most part tumblrs are removed by an automatic process - not by a person - and they're aware that the process makes mistakes.  

Anyhow .. some of my favorites were lost in the past 7+ days .. I hope they appeal and come back ..

I miss raunchyfuckers.com when it wasn't memberships and paid BS. All the videos in one location. so much easier. 

I also dearly miss craigslist. I hope that doublelist.com becomes more like what CL had.

I agree 100% with SoCalHole:  ICUII (later called ICU 2) was a paid-membership-only chat site. It started in 1998 and apparently lasted until 2016. I was a member from 2008-2012. The program downloaded direct to your device (laptops/desktops only and mostly Windows PC's) and was proprietary to that device. With that paid ($45) membership you got a second membership. That way you could have it on your desktop and laptop (these  were the days when guys brought your laptop with you when hooking up.
There was an adult only version and a family version. It was not exclusively gay or sexual. There was an automated trivia chatroom which provided a break from the fun in the other rooms. The Music Room as SoCalHole said, was the 'code' name for gay men's chats and cams and then I think you would drill down to whatever kink It you were into.

Technology we take for granted now was amazing to see then. The cam/chat room 'roll down' your screen as you opened. Visually I would compare an ICUII screen to what you'd see on Zoom. today. Regarding PNP : that was not as open and bold as today it is(which is not necessarily a good thing IMO) and ICUII had a very cool secretive 'club' aura about it. I developed greater self-confidence, loosened the choke hold I'd placed upon myself about my sexual self, and began learning not to judge others. When I joined ICU, I assumed everyone was white, middle aged, educated, upper middle class, good sports, and with no hidden agenda. I was proven wrong, and laugh at how naive i was. Some of my hookups are the stuff of legend. (and hopefully a future book project.

Regardless of background, all in all ICUII, with regards to the PNP community (which I dubbed cyber-cafe society' ) was a small brotherhood/fraternal close knit community. We interacted on many levels and looked out for each other.  Bad apples couldn't stick around long.
(at least that's how I remember it.) ?

Many of the men I met talked with, watched, met and played with from ICUII became long term genuine friendships that I cherish. Sadly, more than a few are gone.  When I mention ICUII to fuckbuddies today, those who remember it share my views.
So what happened to  ICUII?  . The official reason is that as free video chat sites like Skype, oovoo, tokbox etc appeared, ICUII could not compete and closed shop. Personally, I look at a particular site upgrade  (which also re-branded themselves as ICU2).  The entire structure and format changed; making it virtually impossible for we tweakers to adjust! I suggest you google for the wilder theories and for more info.

This I know: we will never see the likes of ICUII again.

A couple of other sites I miss:

oovoo: a competitor to Skype but better quality video and a lot more kinky.  I remember stumbling upon a gentleman using a butter knife as a sound.  Speaking of Skype, in its early (privately owned) version was fantastic. I still use it, but it gets worse with each 'upgrade' thanks to Microsoft.

Get 2 the Point: I cut my teeth on the mechanics of social media ( and the politics and pitfalls of having a stoner short on cash as your boss) when I  volunteered to serve as Content Manager. That grew into receiving monthly a small honorarium based on increased sales of memberships. I delivered, sales grew by triple digits, they stopped paying, i threatened to quit , they said fine, and i was back in the bullpen.  The site declined on all levels, the expected Chinese yen from investors never arrived. The result: the entire hosting platform for G2TP, Jack 4 Jack and several others fetish sites sank lnto cyberspace.
 

WoW!!!  You have a great memory for the details.   Also miss Jack4Jack and Get2ThePoint,

I used CL for hookups when I was underage and honestly miss it now as it was good for hookups. MYLOL is still around but they changed to where you can’t indicate you’re gay anymore. That made it way easy to find guys in your area looking and honestly...it was such a hookup site! Now it’s pretty dead. Grindr now is pretty much the go-to as are groups on apps like kik and so on.

I agree with everyone who misses CL. 

I also, if not miss, have fond memories of Yahoo! groups.  There were some BB groups on there that had some great stories that I still jerk too. 

Also, adult Ning sites were the ones I went to for pnp groups and videos when I had actually been parTying.  Hoarder-ishly, I still have some of the emails that guys sent out in advance of their being shut down to try to stay in touch. 

[Annapaulamass]

Definitely CL, it was amazing to get many guys ready to use me.
