SAAFE [style of] forum for Sugar Dating?

[Meg_Foster]

Hi There -

I apologize if I'm posting this in the inappropriate place.

I want to start a forum similar to SAAFE for women who use Sugar Dating sites. I've spoken to friends who began sugar dating without experience with formal sex work and also looked at blogs, and a lot of them have been taken advantage of or had encounters with people who were aggressive/rude/dangerous. And I personally think the problem is that there isn't a central, virtual and independent site for blacklisting people, sharing advice, etc.

Anyways - I would really appreciate it if any of the people who built or do tech maintenance for this site would PM me and give me advice regarding costs, how to proceed after purchasing a domain, how much time it takes to build a forum, the commitment required to maintain a site like SAAFE, and useful programs to block spam, etc.

Thanks!

Meg

P.S - I live in the U.S. I posted on SAAFE occasionally a while back.

The domain bit is easy enough, installing the forum software isn't too hard (some hosts will have a 'one click' install).

The biggest problem is in getting people visiting / posting. It took a year or more to get here really going.

Why pretend that sugar dating isn't prostitution (at least somewhere where that's legal)?

Our technical admin is janitor, and you can PM her if she doesn't see this thread but as far as forum building and other code/software related stuff goes I would suggest a dedicated/specialist forum, as it isn't really a topic appropriate to this site and I don't think you can expect our webmistress to do any more than outline the basics when it is really nothing to do with her. There may well be other members here who know something about forum building too.

The Simple Machines community forum (which a lot of people use, including us) is here, and there's also VBulletin here. A quick Google of whatever questions you have ought to bring up plenty of results.

If you google suggadaddie.com scam you will find a site that has warnings about dangerous men,they seem to have some real weirdos on there I can't remember what the site's called now though -I like that website though-I went through a phase of hating men and decided to take revenge by using rich men for money and giving them nothing in return-it actually worked on a few guys too but they actually turned out to be really nice guys,I had a great time and met some really nice people-I was actually dating one of them for a couple of months,it actually cured my hatred of men lol,but the only thing is if you want to make money on there you don't really-They just take you on really lavish dates and sometimes buy you presents
