If this site does not work for you maybe try elsewhere? Never had a meet from here ourselves but got one in one month from other sources.

tweeky off here we have met some lovely people,,as in socials,,,n swingcamp etc, just cant cant think why pay again when the only gen meets we get are off other sites? :sad:
Same here. We dont have the decision to make though as we are free members though I certainly wouldent pay. Had extras and didnt renew it.

Can't help you with your decision, but there is a silly little trick that will always get you in the pool within a few seconds even when it is filled to the brim. PM if you'd like to know.

oo pebbs is it like a waiting list? just wish we had the old mids room at least weve met most people from there!
You could open a mids room yourself smile
Hi guys, I never like to see genuine members leaving and I'm sorry that you haven't been fortunate enough to meet others from the site....clearly I'm not the person to fulfill your wishes, if only it were that easy.
I have met a number of members over the years, both socially and otherwise, but I don't know that I can advise you further than you may have heard already...except that, when you try to enter the pool and the room full sign comes up...just keep clicking, even if it says full...usually works within a few minutes.
Before cancelling membership you might wish to consider if your own lifestyle is impeding the opportunity to meet people...it often does, for example if you have limited opportunities because of kids or family comittments, and maybe make some adjustments. Whatever you decide I wish you well.
it was always dificult to get into the pool, and since the room members number has been increased to 125 its even worse to get in banghead, personaly i keep trying and most of the times after the 10th atempt i get in lol :bounce:, the other way i found helpfull is going into the extras room and try to get into the pool from there. mind u for that u have to have extras.... :doh:

Yep dunno I'm wondering what I've been missing all these years...
kaz n allen,
I know this is unlikely to sway any decision you make, but it's worth noting that many SH events are only open to active SH members, so if you wanted to attend munches etc, you may have to renew your membership. Just a thought. ;-)
The Pool often has many members who used to use the mids room
Ive been a member on and off for a few years and to be honest I won't be renewing my membership because nothing has changed about the site. I find it particularly cliquey in some respects and some members, basically, don't like newcomers.
As for you not meeting anyone off the site, thats quite the norm for most people on here. I am a member of another adult site, and have met far more people on there.
Good luck and keep at it.
I have been a member for quite a few years now and only some here occasionally to keep in touch. I think it's sad that so many people are leaving but I'm not really that surprised. Since the changes that have happened, in the last 5 years or so, something fundamental has also gone. If I knew what it was I'd happily highlight it and hope it would change back. But I too find I have had many meets off other sites but any meets from here have totally dried up.
I can't help feeling that the current design, and the way the site appears to be going, gives the impression of a social networking site. And it didn't help the fact that the site changed from one thing to the next, almost at random. Even the Forums haven't recovered from this. There's nothing wrong with changes, and people aren't afraid of them. What people are afraid of is changing the site into something else. And sadly this is what has happened. Instead if taking the strengths and building on it, changes were implemented without any apparent due care and consideration.
There were many of us who had predicted this would happen and, judging from the comments, it looks like it has. I hope something can be done before it's too late. This used to be the best swinging site on the net but that is no longer the case and hasn't been for years now.

Personally, we've never had a problem arranging meets on SH (although getting some of them to actually turn up is another matter lol )
We constantly tweak our profile to reflect what we're seeking and try and provide the kind of information (verbal & visual) that will appeal to others of a like mind.
Renewing a membership is always going to be a personal decision based on any number of factors (cost, features and functions provided, other members etc.).
If we were experiencing the same problem of no meets, we would certainly be looking hard at what and how we are doing on here to rectify the problem - after all, the individual members provide the 'content' in the profiles, forums, chatrooms etc.
The old adage of you get back what you put in certainly holds true on here.
Good luck with your decision folks.

If there is nothing left here for you then do not stay.
We have had only a few meets from here, we get a far higher response to adds on another site.
We do like the forum though, with all its characters. It is probably the only reason we stay here.

Thing is when you do the same as you do here at various other places and get results there and not here then you begin to wonder if its here that is the problem. Personally we dont even bother looking for meets on this site anymore.

IMHO whats missing is a sex. We rarely have threads on sex and the chatrooms is based on displaying sex and not getting meets for sex

Completely agree with you, however............

I do know that 'admin' are looking to turn this place back into a more sex related site, although I'm not too sure they know how yet confused
Feel free to make suggestions :thumbup:

If we put the exact same add for a meet on this site as on another we get about 10 responses their, to every one here. dunno

i thought sex is what this site was all about?
your statement if true is a bit of a worry if the site owners are not sure what to do.
we hear all the time about how good this site was ex ammount of years ago when it was a free site etc.
i herd someone saying only about a weak ago how the site has changed since it became money driven. is that true? i do not know as i have not been hear long enough to know, but there does seem to be a big diffrence for a lot of peeple from what this site was like as a free one, to what it is now.
it used to be more user friendly is what one person said.
i always thought this was a swinging site not a sex sitedunno
