No, not in the slightest, running a website of this sort with this many members takes time and effort, as well as other running costs, so should therefore not be free.

Also having a cost is more off-putting to fake profile users and shows people with genuine interests in the scenes that this website caters for.

Why should some other person incur costs so you can have a free wank over some cams?

No, there are costs involved in running a site like this and my thought is it should be more expensive in order to cut down on fake profiles and the like

Nope. They'll just move onto a different app.

If a club was free there would be an influx of idiots going in and expecting a shag, and it's the same for this site.

It is free. You can set up a profile and arrange meets, they even let you send messages for free. If you want the extras then it's £5 for silver a bit more for gold. It's already very generous.

Do you also go into your corner shop and ask if a Mars bar should be free? That's what you're asking.

Absolutely not. If anything it should cost more.

So many fake profiles and melts on here, the increase in cost would help more of them out.

Anyone meeting right now are complete idiots, but besides that, unless you walk to a meet, it’s going to cost money in fuel, fab is only £5 a month FFS, so I really can’t see how that’s a valid argument.

Fab members who meet, deserve to be outed ,most would think twice if they knew there’s a chance their families and friends could find out what they’re upto.

I actually think it’s very good value for money

Far better run than many other sites that charge way more!!

Plus it’s actually cheaper if you pay yearly, but I advise you pay the fiver and see what you think

You censored the word 'wank', it's not like I was telling you to fuck off. Chill out.

"I actually think it’s very good value for money

Indeed. Call it £30 a year, assume 1/5 users pay for it, and assume there's 5x the number of online users in total. That's roughly 100k users, which would be around 20,000 supporters. Assume that's way over the top and half it to be sure, that's £300,000 per year, excluding revenue from advertising.

As far as I know there's no paid staff - it's all volunteers, so for all intents and purposes it's a one man band. I don't think there's a dev team either, and from what I've seen over the past few years not much active development either.

So then, the biggest cost will be hosting the site, which will absolutely not be cheap when you have to account for 20k+ concurrent users. That'll need multiple webservers, a load balancer, database servers, and hopefully cache servers as well.

My client is a company that serves similar numbers, sometimes higher, though with fewer actions performed as part of their journey, and they scale between 6 and 10 webservers, 4 database servers, and 3 cache servers. Obviously I can't divulge the costs, but I priced it up on DigitalOcean earlier and it's thousands of pounds every month as a very conservative estimate.

So no. No it should absolutely not be free.

Nobody should meet but destroying peoples families or jobs as outing them.

2 wrongs dont make a right.

Fab is free to use.

If you want the extra bells & whistles, of course you should pay.
