To the Arenafighter community:
I've been a contributor here since this latest incarnation got off the ground a couple of years back. I've continued to contribute off and on since then - sometimes I've disappeared for as long as a year or more, but I kept coming back. The main reason why is that I already had a site on FetLife that I'd invested a lot of time and energy in. But over the past couple of years there has been increasing censorship on FetLife and I can foresee a day when I'll be banned there. I joined FetLife in 2010, not long after it started. The TOS has changed a LOT since then, and most of my content would be banned there today if I didn't make it friends-only, and perhaps even then. It's a long story, but for the most part the credit card companies are behind it.
So I've made the decision to migrate most of my activity to Arenafighter. I'm gradually backing things up here - tt will take me some time to do that, so in the meantime you can still see my content on FetLife as I've wanted to present it.

MyBB has a different set of problems (and to be quite clear, my concerns have always been with MyBB and NOT Arenafighter.) The UI is terrible, it's over 20 years out of date and there's no mobile interface It's impossible for me to format my content the way I really want. That's very important to me. I'm pretty certain the security is as outdated as the UI, and that's important to me as well. Plus, FetLife has been around since 2008 so it's still here when other platforms have come and gone.
So there's no ideal solution. Like most of the guys who post content on "our" kink we are nomads, posting for a while in one place then moving on. I've decided to make Arenafighter my "home" site for the foreseeable future, although it will take some time to fully transition. I do have a request - could I please have a dedicated folder in the Stories section? For a while now I've had to post my illustrated stories in my pictures section. That's never been ideal but there is no Mighty Foo folder under stories.
Anyway, look forward to seeing me post a lot more here going forward.
All the best,
Foo
