Are you happy with your current hookup sites?

[PhoenixGeoff]

I know. But I can't help it. I like fat guys. LOL

Hey, you don't have to justify yourself to me! I've always preferred guys who have some substance to them...the two worst words I can read in a profile (besides DDF UB2, safe and sane, etc.) are "swimmer's build."

[ChiPozGuy]

That isn't to say I only let fat guys fuck me. Don't get me wrong. If you'll leave a load in my hole, you can fuck me. I just enjoy it more if the guy fucking me is dom top daddy bear with a fat gut. :@)

You could create forums of your own on BBRTS if you were so inclined. Another option would be to provide links to other BB oriented sites for cross-promotion purposes (like to this forum, this and other sex blogs, sites that carry your porn, etc.

If you wanted to be more adventurous, you could make membership in this forum an "opt-in" option on your site. That would give your users control over who their login information is shared with.

Now that is an idea, Like create a check box that would state we will send your login formation and auto create an account over here?

Exactly. Ideally rawTOP would have to do the same on his site, but I'd imagine that most of the guys posting here already have profiles on your site too. After all, reading about hot raw sex is all very well, but your site actually delivers the goods!

The main question you'd probably both have would be the degree to which you'd want to be dependent on an outside website. If one of you decided at some point you'd had enough and it was time to fold up the tent and take down your site, the other's members might be a little annoyed to lose a feature, particularly if they're paying customers.

From a customer's perspective, it might be a little difficult to perceive the boundaries between one site and the other; they may not realize that they're dealing with two separate entities. You'd probably want to make sure that it was crystal clear when a customer was transitioning from one site to another.

I don't think we could achieve quite the level of integration you're thinking about in the near term. PigMaster and I need to have a talk about what's feasible, then figure out what of that is desirable. Either way, you'll definitely be able to perceive the boundary between the sites. What we're talking about is one site's ability to have links with auto login to the other site, and maybe the ability to pull and display a little data from the other site. I don't see the two sites being blended into an indistinguishable whole any time soon (if ever).

[PhoenixGeoff]

Definitely makes sense to me. I'm just cautioning you to never underestimate the ability of users to leap to truly bizarre conclusions

Hey rawTOP, Give me a ring this weekend, we keep missing each other.

[BBCumPigGA]

I don't think we really need another bareback hookup site. BBRT (BarebackRT.com) has it done right. To me, it's very much like my previous favorite hookup site that folded years ago, Barebacksex.com. In fact, I like BBRT so much that I contribute, something I have never done on any site before. I also like BnSkin, but its huge downside is I can't reliably access it on my mobile device.

BBRT has one feature that I love, and that's the Quick Connect adds. These are wonderful. The downside is that you can't place a quick connect add in your travel location. If you could do that, without moving your profile completely, the site would be near perfect. And in response to what a lot of people have said, yeah, the people can be flakes or downright assholes, but you get that everywhere.

Raw Top- have not seen any action on this topic posted since back in June- I am pretty frustrated with most of the hook up sites- ManCunt has a great bunch of letter writers, very few real fucks on it. BNSkin has been so buggy since a server crash in August that you cannot even read forums, let alone try to hook up in the current day.Ditto for Bareback.com- never any local hook ups show up, even for a BB pig city like Ft lauderdale ! My profile on LeatherMatch hasn't had a hit on it in months- and I had high hopes for them, since they were using the same platform as BBRT when I joined at IML a couple of years ago. NastyKinkPigs bubbled up a few months ago and quickly has dried back up.

I guess the real issue gets down to how much time and energy you want to put into this endeavor- BBRT and PigMaster succeed because they pump a lot of manhours into making it work and getting the site out there. Many of the others were guys who had hopes of a great site and good income, but when the workload grew with the number of members, the site admin got overwhelmed or bored and the sites floundered. I And- many of the same guys are on all the same sites- so there isn't a good base of new faces- and the membership loses interest too.

I would support your efforts, but I hope there would be a strong plan to grow and keep the site fresh over the long time frame-- ManHunt made a shit pot of money off a lot of us, and got too greedy in my opinion, which killed its appeal to many

Hey Everyone,

I am reading this and to be honest, I am sure there are many sites that I am missing so I am going to list a few of the sites I am a member of and will try to list some of the things I think would make those sites better. Armed with that information maybe a new site can be created for us!!!

www.barebackrt.com

-favorite!!! not big on the payment feature to see a decent sized picture.

-Wish there was a mail feature that forwards the message (or notice of a new message directly to my email or text)

www.adam4adam.com

-the site is ehhh.... way too many kids killing time on this site (in LA at least)

www.dudesnude.com

-Another good site... supports geo-positioning from the browser, but usually has 3500-6600 members online at anytime (worldwide), so the options can be limited. mail box size sucks has a big video chat section

www.bgclive.com

-This site is cool for their chat rooms, sometimes you can get into some good video sessions with cute black guys

www.fitlads.com

-ehh...

www.bareback.com

-ehh

Phone based-

Android- Encountr... not a bad concept similar to grindr on iphone. downside is how messages are pushed not very fast... sometimes you will get a message from someone who shows 2 miles away on their phone but you are actually 40 miles away.

Android based- Purpll... App sucks!

I have donated to BBRT but in recent days have opted for the free version.

-this site is okay

[twistednvers]

Barebacksex.com was a really great site for hooking up, it'd be nice if it came back. Barebackrt and manhunt are both relatively good.

[Guest diapbttmboi]

I like this site alot, not for hooking up though as there is no-one local on here. I like squirt.org and I do get raw meetings from there. I still think a chat-room here would be good.

As for the current sites mentioned I only frequent BBRT and whilst I like it alot, I don't like the restriction on private mail and the lack of local guys.

I'll be moving this site to a new server in a week or two. At that point I'll be able to do 2 things I can't do on my current server...

First, you guys will get chat capabilities... Text chat will be unlimited and free, there will also be video chat sorta like Cam4 - you'll get a bit of that free each day, but given the cost to run it, heavy use will be a paid upgrade.

The other thing I'll implement is a map of where online users are located. The map won't tell you who is near you (too many privacy issues for that), but it will tell you that someone is near you. I'll look into refining it...

[NCPOZTOP]

I would love a site with user reviews, thought people should be able to delete any review that is left for them. But It would give you an idea of what youre getting, at the same time letting a user delete those that didnt have a good time.

for instance, a guy has been on a site for 2 years, and has no feedback...he's either not doing anything, or is deleting his feedback.

At the same time, a 300 pound guy might find a twink that has fucked other 300 lb guys and enjoyed it. . On other sites you get the option to SAY what you are into, but not really specifically.

It would be fun to befriend someone on a site, and verify what you have done together!

[cumdumpbugcub]

i'm pretty happy with what i have, i'm basically on BBRT and a4a pretty often hunting loads, i hardly ever use manhunt for anything, gay.com what a joke, i do also use stuff like recon.com or asspig.com both of which i've found tons of hot cool guys to hang with, i do regret the passing of bnskin.com and bugshare.net (tho the latter wasnt necessarily a hookup site), very sad, both of them my all time favorites.
