All users should boycott further payments until ALT owners fix the site.

It is good to see more users understand that the site is completely broken and not worth a cent since the site owners changed the points system in so many ways for the worse.

Even with a free gold membership this site is crap. Nothing but fakes and scammers and it just continues to get worse. Time to move on.

I'm confused by these posts and your chat room. I mean there is a constant call for boycott, for never ending venting about issues, yet there seems no plan to do anything about it. It's not as though you are looking for people to join some form of resistance, but simply a provider of various formats to complain.

Fundamentally the problem is, almost all of us take advantage of the free gold membership. We have since the beginning. The company needs to make a profit. If you go to any of their successful sites (AdultFriendFinder) you pay to chat, you pay to watch a cam show, you blog for free.

Rather than providing a forum for venting perhaps find another site, that meets your specific needs. I would find it surprising if you found one completely free, or completely bug free. Alt is a pain in the arse, lots of things do not work...you have to pay for some stuff...unless you figure out how to get the free stuff.

You found parts of me I didn’t know existed and in you I found a love I no longer believed was real.

There is no need for confusion, There are many discussions in the group that explain how to address this completely despicable the new site owner is treating the current ALT community/user base.

The group was formed to show ALT support and management that the many faults and issues that exist on the site are negatively impacting many users.

This has been proven by the many Polls and Discussions where users have contributed within the group.

The discovery that the new owners of ALT could not care less about any user complaints and have been ignoring support requests from users for over 6 months has only been recent.

This group has a plan of action and it is clear that the new owners will do nothing to fix any of the faults or repair the site for the sake of the user community whilst Any user still gives them any payments.

That is why the call for the boycott.

The whole idea is to let the new owner know that there has always been a users on this site who would happily pay for gold membership, if the site worked as intended by the original Authors.

The manipulation of the points system by the new owner, will eventually force all standard users to pay for membership as they reach the limits of points earning for each type of activity.

The new owner has disabled many methods of earning points on purpose to force this to happen to the entire community.

I have never disputed that a good service provided deserves to be paid for,

The facts are that ALT are failing not only to provide any services or features that function as intended, the worst part is they are actually prepared to perpetrate fraud by overcharging of users credit cards when cancelling.

This sort of outrageous theft should not be rewarded by any user payments.

It's all about
perspective . . .
Imagine a time when
BDSM wasn't called
that.
But was called
a mental illness.
There was no internet to hide
behind and you actually
had to go to underground
clubs to meet other mental
defective souls.
Trust me, there were not fakes.

There is certainly some logic to this statement. We paid for Gold didn't we?

Yes we did. Even so, I agree the site has a butt-load of problems. The abundance of fakes, frauds & scammers being one of them.

Yes and it seems people that pay can only communicate with other people that pay. Trying to communicate with a standard member is an exercise in frustration. Send them mail and they can't read it .... WTF?

Yeah .... Something needs to be done to reach a happy median. Too many people are throwing their hands up and saying "Bu -Bye". That doesn't do anyone any good.

i was fortunate enough to have been receiving the free gold upgrades for a few years based on the time i've spent on the site and various contributions, the point system i guess, which is now being screwed with as mentioned here.

i agree with the point that those of us lucky enough to have had free gold shouldn't complain, but what gets me is the gender bias of the site now. Females, and i guess maybe couples, can still get free gold for being active, but males are now screwed. Just like single males are screwed in every other aspect of the lifestyle, always having to pay more for memberships, cover charges at events, etc. i've always dealt with that without a lot of complaint even though it's totally biased.

i'm still asking, what are our alternatives to Alt?

Alt seems to be working fine for me, I was this September for a month in Europe, Norway again and Berlin, Germany, meeting a new person from this site, seeing again a former blogger and upon my return home was a cam whore to help me unwind.

What are the actual issues really?

I would pay for cam watching though as it is how I get to meet and play.


I am aroused by my own darkness and there is no cure.

Docile women do not get gold for being active. That is a fallacy that seems to be perpetuated by men who are hard done by. Send out an ice breaker, they give you gold.

If you want to know what the faults are with this websites features and services that are effecting over 90 users within the ALT community you can join the group located here, read and contribute to the many Polls to report site faults, Discussions about what issues are effecting users have many examples of users experiencing faults and issues, reporting to support and being ignored repeatedly.

[group ALT Website Community Feedback Groups > Topical Groups > Advice > ALT Website Community Feedback]

I have spent over 6 months discovering many issues and faults that exist and documenting them in the Polls within the group to give all users the opportunity to report they have the same issue by simply clicking yes on the vote button.

Sadly the majority of the community rather than participate and help with this initiative seem to ignore these polls and discussions created to help all users and spam the poll and discussion system to flood and bury them from user view.

This actively working against this user initiative is really disappointing, because it is about having the sites broken services and features restored to a state of working as intended by the original authors for the benefit of the entire user community.

So many seem to judge and mock others efforts rather than see they are of benefit to them and participate to improve things for every single user.

That is the choice they make which just shows the total apathy about the state of the site is prevalent and yet these long term users of the site know full well that newer users of the site struggle with the faults every day.

This can be seen clearly in the user Magazine where new users call for help about the broken points system, IMC and other features every week.

Rather than help these people and refer them to the polls about those issues so they can contribute and show the problems are effecting all users, they ignore the posts for help.

If people want to try and mock or judge me for trying to make things better for everybody on this site simply based upon the fact I am a standard non paying member, that is their choice.

ALT must have new owners - they moved the mailing address from California to Europe and when I complained about something, I received a response from a Nigerian "Prince".

Discovering that the new owners of this site are prepared to fraudulently take users funds by over charging when they cancel membership shows they have no honor or respect for this community.

This Poll I have created has been voted yes to 6 times.

Has the ALT Direct Debit system charged you after cancelling gold membership?

[group_post Has the ALT Direct Debit system charged you after cancelling gold membership? Has the ALT Direct Debit system charged you after cancelling gold membership?]

This shows a criminal pattern exists on this site perpetrated by the owner.

This should not be rewarded by the community providing more gains.

I recommend trying Whiplr.com. It has major problems as well, but it seems to be getting more populated. This site really is a total joke. The few real people left here are old timers longing for the old days and guys Alt is trying to sucker into paying. There is no new female blood whatsoever. Time to move on.
