I've met quite a few wonderful people through alt.  Although, since I've been coming here I haven't much time on alt as I used to.  I do like their chat rooms (I usually hang out in the Socal room).




Leatherist -> RE: ALT.com (3/26/2008 5:00:27 PM)

I disliked the site. Way too many hng's..... and the cross over from the swinger side was beyond annoying.




slaveboyforyou -> RE: ALT.com (3/26/2008 5:03:58 PM)

I do use Alt.  It was my first web-based BDSM personals discovery after newsgroups (remember those?).  I discovered it back in '96, when it was still free.  So it does hold some nostalgic value.  I do go there occasionally to look around, but I don't meet as many people there as I used to.  The one that I gave up on completely is bondage.com.  I used to frequent the message boards there quite often, but I found people there to be less friendlier then here.  As much as I like to bitch about moderation, the moderators here are second to none as far as BDSM personals sites goes.

What's the consensus? I didn't like it.


The consensus is.....

It's a shill for men...it's a complete total fucking con.

Yeah, there's good women on the site...but (the owners of the site) run that thing to trap men.

I put an ad on there 2 years ago...nice sub guy ad...basic stuff....literally 2 minutes later I had about 9 responses from women who had "read (my) ad and thought (they) were the exact woman (I) was looking for".

This went on for about 8 days (I didn't respond to any because it was a smidge obvious)....

So a week later I wrote an ad that effectively said..."I hate women...I've always hated women....I've run over a few in my life...stole a bunch of money from my ex...and still the woman calls me...I hate her...I'd like to see her under a bus and after several run overs...I'd thoroughly enjoy seeing her as a bloody pulp...."

Instantly I got 9 emails..."You're EXACTLY the kind of man I'm looking for...please write back...".

Within hours I changed my profile again:

"I've been a lifelong member of the KKK. I firmly believe that the atrocities in Germany in WWII were a total farce, and I long for the days when Jews no longer rule the Earth".

9 MORE emails "you're the EXACT man I've been looking for!!!!....(etc., etc.,).

There are good women on that site...several that I know have memberships....

But if you're looking for "The One".....

You'll have vastly improved results if you stick your thumb out on the freeway with a sign...."Will work for Domme/sub".




LadyHibiscus -> RE: ALT.com (3/26/2008 6:32:44 PM)

I like Alt.  It was good cheap advertising when I was a pro dominant, and now that I have a free membership, I amuse myself by looking at pics.  (sometimes SCARE myself with pics!eeeh!) I have met some great folks from that site, and yes, a fair share of wankers.  Kind of like anywhere!

Adult Friend Finder was SCARY.  I didn't even have a picture posted and I was getting all sorts of wack emails from guys.  I had to leave after a week, it felt like a masturbators' feeding frenzy!




MistressCamille -> RE: ALT.com (3/26/2008 6:47:22 PM)

I have been on alt for many years. Used to be fun but slowly they made so the free members don't really get to do anything. I don't get notified of mail there till days later and it doesn't keep old mail long enough. I also hate having to contact someone several times before giving out phone numbers. What is that about?

I like this site ever so much better! I've made a few real good friends here and a lovely play partner as well. Can't wait till this weekend!




CraZYWiLLiE -> RE: ALT.com (3/26/2008 7:14:53 PM)

I had a gold membership on bondage last year, so this year I tried gold with alt, and was greatly disapointed, not again, and bondage got took over by penthouse, so thats almost a ghost...

The mod tre over there-will not even let you post a stupid diaper picture. The place is like it's owned by the mormons now.




BOUNTYHUNTER -> RE: ALT.com (3/26/2008 7:34:55 PM)

WE have a gold at alt ,I like the blogs and have a few good friends from there and a hottie slave..The only way its works well is to have the set up for free members to contact you,yes more money but I do enjoy alt..




bbwsubnnorcal -> RE: ALT.com (3/26/2008 8:50:13 PM)

AFF, ALT, and Bondage(dot)com are now owned by Penthouse......
 
*sigh*
 
I, for one, miss the good ol' days.




lighthearted -> RE: ALT.com (3/26/2008 9:34:12 PM)

we have a couple profile there but Daddy recently closed it...we emailed with a few people that seemed fun to hang out with, but trying to coordinate schedules was too difficult.

personally, I don't like to be inundated with photos of crotches the second I log onto a website, but that's just me.  not something I enjoy with the morning coffee.

I took a peek at AFF once...to quote another CM member, too much of a "sausage fest" for me.  a little scary, actually. 




midgetmafiosa -> RE: ALT.com (3/26/2008 10:29:44 PM)

alt has been a disappointment so far. and the boards on bondage aren't as good. it makes me not even want to update a profile there. so far, the best people seem to be from collarme.




MistyMenthal -> RE: ALT.com (3/27/2008 10:58:34 PM)

Poor Alt.[sm=frown.gif] They could learn a thing or 2 from us here.
