I just got the bill from my ISP for another year of hosting Amazons, and it’s about $630. I don’t really want to pay it.
Let me know if anyone has any thoughts about keeping it going–fundraiser or that sort of thing. Otherwise I’m probably going to shut it down.Sorry about this. I know a lot of you have been coming here for decades, but user numbers are not what they used to be and the hosting is prohibitively expensive.

July 8, 2022 at 1:45 am #153362TC2ParticipantOuch that is a huge bill.
I think we’ve always floated the idea of maybe supporting the site with a patreon or paypal donation.
But having coming here for many many many years, it does seem to me this place had many become a repost of items found on either reddit, instagram, or youtube.
For me, the true value is when the community finds a gem in unexpected places. Muscle girls in video games or TV shows. But this place does seem a lot more dead nowadays.
I check this website daily as often as I can and it’s usually the same 3 people who post. Haven’t heard hide nor hair of any other members unless it’s a thread asking a question about a topic. Such a shame. But it does feel like the time to sunset Amaz0ns is here. 🙁
July 8, 2022 at 2:37 am #153363LingsterKeymasterThere are about 300 regular visitors—mostly silent—and then around 2500 search visitors per week. But my efforts to monetize those visits haven’t really worked, and I’ve kept the site running for a long time because I didn’t want to let people down.

July 8, 2022 at 1:12 pm #153373unkn0wnxParticipantHope there is another way. Would be sad to see this site go down. Nothing lasts forever.

Might work.. but if not, I appreciate the time & effort that has been put in to this forum. It’s been a good resource.
July 8, 2022 at 4:21 pm #153377AlexGKeymasterFirst cup of coffee in the morning and checking out the Amaz0ns forums that will be a habit hard to give up.
I’ve been kinda anticipating for year or two that this might happen. It’s not like it was, oh say, a couple of decades back – a world of difference. There was real sense of community and I’d say that perhaps a quarter to a third of the participants were women who shared in the interest(s) of real world FBBring, and fantasy FMG, GTS or SW.
Amaz0ns isn’t the only forums to be in decline, the same is true over at RX Muscle, where I also post to the Muscular Women thread.

July 8, 2022 at 7:33 pm #153382elee0228ParticipantHave you thought about different hosting providers? I’m surprised you are paying that much, there are a lot of other more affordable options out there.
