Swingers Forum - Site activity

Previous Post Next Post
Is it just us or does it seem site activity, the forums particularly, have declined significantly ? It seems active member participation has been lagging quite a bit and limited to a few “regulars”. Has everyone else jumped ship ? Is there another site getting a bigger following ? This is a shame, we have been on Swingular for several years now, and not particularly super active outside of the site, we still enjoy following and posting on the forums and staying connected with the community. We understand the administrators have for the most part abandoned this site for several years now, but was hoping at least the community would keep it going.
It’s really slacked off the last few years. I think there has been more sites that are easier to follow.
More sites and more bots everywhere!
We have enjoyed this site in the past. Just doesn’t seem like a lot of people have interests in meeting anymore. It’s a bummer because we used to go the parties all the time and hang out and even meet with couples. No it’s random talk with no follow up.
Right? a lot of people are moving to discord as well.
It's definitely losing momentum. We love this site for the forums alone but it's the only feature that is lacking on other sites. As well as we know everyone on here is pretty much local and not world wide. The admins have been promising for years that a new update is in the works but must be coding it one line a week themselves or something? I have asked several times to buy the site. The owner refuses to sell. As each month passes it seems it gets less and less activity. Especially when you see the local parties section never remove history!
It's become a more acceptable culture since covid. Normal dating apps work much better.
This message was refreshing to see this morning. Is this just a red herring or is something actually happening?
We are preparing for the new site beta launch.
Swingular has been redesigned and rearchitected from the ground up. It will have all the latest and greatest features that you find on modern apps and sites. It’s been a long time coming and we are finally here. The beta will be rolled out in phases with limited functionality during each phase. Only paid members will have access. This will allow us to make sure everything is secure and working properly since so much is changing. Stay tuned.
Amazing news!

What is the timeline for these changes? When is the beta being released?

We run a local discord group for Utah for swingers its not as robust for profiles and things but it makes the chats easy
Great news! I would love to see some new features to the mix
I hope they bring back some form of a real time chat room that used to be a good way to meet
So sort of timeline of when these updates will be initiated would be a little more reassuring. To be honest I’m sure I’m not the only one here that the site has been living up to our membership fees. I believe we’ve been paying members for going on 4 years now and the site has nothing but declined since. If there is no improvement I doubt we’ll be renewing our subscription and moving elsewhere like everyone else.
I hope its true...Not getting my hopes up
More site activity would be good - more in person activity would be better.
Out of all sites . This is my favorite. Still play with old friends and make more every year . Play naughty and safe y’all

Is there going to be real customer support also...?

Like some of the rest of you, we fucked on camera, from time to time, in the old chat room. The chat function as it, is literally on again off again. Maybe the update will revive the chat activity on the site, which tended to increase the flesh to flesh activity too!


Yes, we had more meet ups with the old chat site because we got to know people a little bit
We are on a few sites. We do really like the forum on this site the best. We don't like how there are so many dead profiles. If somebody isn't active for six months. Remove them..

With that being said. We feel the lifestyle activity on all sites has declined exponentially over the last year. (we hear that Facebook is still very active with private groups.)
Wish the lifestyle was stronger.
Allot of people say they want to play but never answer or pursue
Pm us on how to find like minded people on discord

What's the Facebook group ?

Which one there are several.
The number of people/ couples logging on looks quite good. The people are here its just maybe a need to draw them into being more active? Who knows. Dm us.

Totally agree it used to be that way don’t know what changed
Will this new update have a feature so we can change our profile from single to couple?

Could you share the group info with us?!

No, this is by design. We don't want single males easily changing their profile to a couple after they realize that they might not connect as easily or as a way to get access to couples photos. By making them contact support and verifying that they are a couple helps keep this in check. Call us at 877-839-0045 and we will assist you.

The improvements to the site will allow us to offer better self-serve customer service options. However, we will continue to only offer phone support as we feel this is the best and fastest option to help our members. We currently don't have a lot of members contacting us to support a full customer service team which would not be cost-effective and cause membership fees to increase. However, we are putting technology in place that will allow us to provide consistent access to phone support no matter when or where our support person resides.

The chatroom is being built from the ground up as well and be as good or better than the original.

When can we expect to see the beta?

To support the new architecture and technologies, we have to make changes to how we store data in our database. To keep the transition as seamless as possible, we have to delete old data. So we're giving members a month to copy and save any data they don't want to lose, in particular in your messages.

We are targeting March 1st for the launch of the beta.

Typically LS FB groups are set to private so that you can’t search for them. You won’t be able to see them unless you are directly invited to the group by someone already in sending you a link… and most groups are sticklers on members vouching for anyone they invite in to avoid fake accounts. Sometimes the group Admins even require in person familiarity.
Well, we would love to be Beta testers. Just throwing our hat into the ring. We’re more active than most profiles on here, and we actually post and interact in forums as well as being local party hosts.

If you need Admin help for the forums as well, we might be willing depending on the workload. I’m currently an Admin for a very successful LS group of over 40k members (app with the red logo) and have experience being a neutral mediator, cleaning up spam, as well as handling Admin emails daily.

The forums on this website sometimes need abusive comments and profiles kept in check in our opinion. There are some really unkind people here, and there are way too many things that should be unacceptable just being allowed… people being verbally attacked and threatened for having a different opinion, encounters and booty calls being spammed in those sections, cleaning up old party posts… etc..

And to add to this, you have to be Facebook friends to invite someone to the group. We will not be Facebook friends with people we haven't met in person and know we can trust. Heck we have found you sometimes can't trust people you met and thought were friends on here!
Is KIK a scam? SO SO SO many reply simply with a one liner, reach me on my KIK and give the info. But nothing else. I read a few post saying KIK is out dated and runs ads. I wonder if a few are bots and just lure people to use KIK
Is someone answering the phone now? We have tried multiple times over the last few months or so and nada!

We would be totally on board with Starlight's offer to help moderate the site. We can vouch for them—they've done an incredible job over on the app with the red logo. We think it is past time this site got some solid moderation! Starlights knows the ropes and has the experience to handle whatever comes their way.
When they killed the chat feature they really killed the site, the chat feature allowed people to get to know each other and decide who they might want to meet. Now people go to other sites for different versions of that exact feature.

Hopefully that will be added back on and every can get back into the swing of things
We're excited to see the updates! We tried to verify here but never heard back 🤷🏽‍♀️

You can get verified if you meet someone that has VIP status. There are still a number of people located near you that have VIP status. Give that a try.

We can help you get varified.
It would be nice if we could actually “Like” posts and comments on the forum with the new updates

Same here. Looks like they may be a little more proactive as activity has dropped.

I always thought that would be an excellent feature on a site like this. "Like" or "love" would be a way of subtle flirting.
Being new to discord, how does one find the Utah LS groups? It looks like most are not discoverable.
Wouldn’t mind seeing that photo contest come back either
A functional chat platform would be a nice addition

Haha we'd love to help with that, but we live pretty far from the major population centers and travel is challenging for us with our current schedules :)
Reddit has been a big part in meeting up. There is a few Utah swinger sub reddits.

Most of the subs are full of crap. 95% or more of the posts are either fake, scammers, people pushing their onlyfans, ... and then, every once in a while, a post from a real person/couple. There is one notable exception r/Utahswingers the mods there run a pretty tight ship.
Maybe I’m just old, but I don’t find Reddit very user friendly. We used to meet people here and Kik but both have slowed way down. I hope the revamp of this website will help it be more active again!

Totally agree. Out of all the local subs, they are great at cleaning out all the BS.
Hello,

Yikes that’s quite the firewall you have
How do you use discord to find groups ?
