Have noticed many changes over the years of on and off this since 2007.

Anyone remember the woman's face? That used to be top left corner I think.

And I seem to remember its also been cherries?

I also remember the days when forums first started. When you could post http links for anything and also people put emails and phone numbers on forum and on profiles.

I remember the day the site had 100 members in UK ha yep been here many times on and off over the years

"just more of everything - ive not seen much change over the 7 years ive been here - "

You must remember the woman's face at side top or the cherries? (I'm not so certain about the cherries)

Did you go on forums back then?

Like u must remember when they first started... was more like bb thread than the limiting crap it is now

When I started over 7 years ago the lounge forum was just a small hut and swingers chat forum was mostly fields.

Been on and off here for 5 years. I find the forums more inclusive than they used to be. It was a lot of the same circle posting back then. A lot more post now. It did seem more fun with the clubs, private parties and the socials... But maybe that is just down to myself changing over time, rather than the site itself

I have been on here a long time, a few changes but pretty much as it was, the forums I think were much more light hearted

I think the forums have become more an abusive hunting ground now where someone will always say black is white for the sake of a heated debate/arguement. Tbh forums im not as keen on these days just the odd post.

The cherries can't have gone that long ago, because I remember them, and I joined 5 years ago.

Glad someone remembers these things...as seemed like a few claims of being here over that length of time. The name would be summit is have to give some thought on. I can't actually remember, but then I've been here and left so many times over all those years. Is like recently met up with someone on here, who i had spoken with not my last profile or the one before that, but spoken with like 5 years ago on an old profile. Is funny really.. twice this has happened. Actually felt so shitty one meet. We had just had sex...she went away and put a dress and heels on. Then it struck me, three years ago we had spoken, was going to meet up, I met someone else and well left site. She knew who I was from start but kept quiet till after we'd fucked. It made me feel really quite crapy, but she said she'd wanted to meet me all that time..is weird I looked for her this time round..thought hadn't found her...yet she had a different profile.

I know quite few people on here from the many years on and off, after all people are either in it for life or swing in and out like I have done.

I can't recall your name from back then but I'm not great with names, faces and photos yes, but names not so good

Yeah the cherries must be about 4 years ago.

Certainly the woman's head was 7 years ago.

I often wondered who the females head was?

Given no one seems to remember the being a head, doubt anyone will know who is was

You know it prompted me to search the archives of the net just out of interest..see if Fab there. It seems it is. Actually from day 1 all way through till now. I found you back in 2007 but your profile was hidden unless logged in, yet most people are not.

I used the search members from names now from ones showing in forums in 2007 just three can find still here.

I'm actually quite alarmed that every forum post from 2007 till now is all still accessible.

Actually thats the thing about the net, never deleted, always there, somewhere, even ghost images.

Also see all that is posted in forums is also in Google going back quite far. All accessible. It wouldn't be hard to find someone. I see it only '*' first letter of the name.

I can find posts from myself back 3 years ago. Ha seems I've repeated the some of my questions now that I asked three years ago haha like even I'm on a forum loop.

Funny looking at the web site the very first day went live and then when the site had 40 members. Weird what's in the forum archive

Taken few screen shots. Got some of the site in 2007.

The woman's face. Was done by a member according to the forum back then ha..I wonder if its her face.

Is so weird reading the bare back posts in 2007 compared to them now and how things have changed or ideas of anyway. Guess its how im reminded how many people back then actually genuine unlike today.

Ive been trying to find my first ever profile in the old archive but without knowing my name...just looking through pages of members names and posts.

Its crazy what's here still accessible
