Now the antis will need a new target.

Clicking on that link was the first time I'd ever been to that forum; never wanted to, based on everything I'd read about it on the many other forums I'd been on.

It's sad to see bf go though, it's been around for a long time.




Ah won't cry over spilled tea nonetheless 

[Hiway]

My inside source told me the same thing...

[WinterGreenWolf]

"Oh how the mighty hath fallen....". I'm actually happy to see it go personally. I had an account there in the olden days. The problem is once BF saw money from their user-submitted porn: they lost sight of something that could have been much better.. A large, extensive collection of info and meeting spot for Zoophiles.. Their last decade or so has just been a disaster..




Nothing but fetishists for the most part. Countless meetup / animal sharing posts, and even a few police stings. The thing that hurt them the most though: all their paid content was ending up on 'free sites' like Zoocab.. They can't complain to any authorities either because their porn is definitely a legal black area. 




I want this community to grow, I hope we don't pick up the fallout though.

Something that made me laugh was a member asking are there any other sites still operating out there...




And then promptly getting banned for inquiring about other sites!




LOL

And, to complete the set, Southy puts up a thread asking what other sites you may go to.

I was actually one of the earliest members there. Was banned just this year. I never really bothered with their porn forums though, mostly just tried to direct zoos to better places after that one went to shit.

Even funnier was the one who asked for free public download access for the last month. Answer: Yeah, good idea, but YOU are banned now for asking in this thread.




BF is/was a typical few million user forum with mods on a power tripp. I mean, off course you have to rule such large forums with somewhat of an iron hand, or it goes to chaos, but there where too much instances where they banned people for simply nothing.




Well, I'm curious what happens now with such a large membership in search for new platforms.

Well now, that's some vicious irony... Not surprising from the staff at BF however....

Holy shit, still sounds like South to me... Man the amount of people that guy's turned loose on, then done the same shit...

Maybe not as much of one as you: but I was an 'early bird' myself to that place.. It had so much potential in the beginning too.. Then they realized Beastporn was a cash-cow.. Pun always intended, of course. [img]<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/tongue.png[/img]/emoticons/[email protected] 2x" title=":P" width="20" />

A couple off-the-top ideas come to mind for this situation. There were two types on BF usually, one outnumbered the other.




A) The porn seekers, they'll probably go their own way: make another site or post their 'stashes' and personal stuff to the Darkweb or some of the 'off-key' sites: video.zoo.cab being an example here.




B) the sort of 'unknowing Zoo, New Zoo, or Zoo Curious' whom have simply ended up in a shit hole without much knowledge of other forums and communities.. For a good reason of course: we're going to have to watch this forum semi-close now that the pornfolks' hideout is abust if you ask me.




I think you could get some 'genuine zoo' outreach, Furries who have an interest in it as well as new zoos and whatnot who really want a community to call their own for support, debate and even just friends.




I also think some of the 'high ups' in that forum, maybe not the admins but those who've made money off their content: or others' content there will either try to start up another paysite, their own forum, or a mix of the two: possibly on Tor or a 'pay to join' group on the TOX protocol or something.




Only time will tell though, one thing's for sure though, the voyours, fetishists, and the money-makers won't go away easily.. There's a lot of cash to be made in 'taboo porn'.
