It's true, there is not much activity on the
Sex Pig site in the last few years. My late predecessor Keith had me create the site in the mid-2000s based on programming used for other CFS sites. He then went to IML in Chicago to debut the
Sex Pig site. At the time, it did get quite a few members.
However, I'm not sure if Keith truly had a good understanding of the leather, fetish, BDSM, etc. space and the people who inhabit it or test the waters. For example, there's just
something about the word "adopt" that seems a little off. I have no club affiliations and my work and personal commitments keep me from socializing much (if at all) these days, but I've been to friends' daddy/son (sometimes poly) family "pledging" ceremonies, some with master/slave or BDSM aspects, and I've been more active in the fetish scene years ago. The word "adopt" and the site don't seem to encompass the life.
Anyhow, in the following years as Keith's health declined the site received less attention and usage fell off. Since his passing in 2012 I've been the only person working with all of the web sites Kieth used to own.
I have, quite honestly, put
Adopt A Sex Pig very far down on my priority list, behind stabilizing our servers in the first year-plus as well as staying on top of daily content updates for the most active parts of the sites, the
Sex Listings and the
Escort Reviews.
All that only indirectly answers your question, but I think you get the idea. The
Sex Pig has been neglected and is the least active of the ones I operate.
I am undecided what to do with the site. I might close it and sell the domain name.
Or, I might keep it active but only as a linking site to more active fetish-related sites. My own personal favorite is
FetLife, a social network and not just a hookup site, of well over 3 million members that is open and welcoming to all genders and orientations (which can be pretty fluid these days anyhow). They rely on donations, which allows them to show less advertising than CFS does.
FWIW, I like the "donation" model and I hope eventually to adapt it for CFS once the much-needed software upgrades are complete. The sites have run at a loss for over a year. Pushing the "reset button" is very long overdue.
