I have been a member of fubar (Also known by other names as it evolved) for 3 1/2 years. I don’t work for the site, I don’t live in California and I don’t have the instant messenger, telephone numbers, personal email addresses or any other contact information of any of the fubar staff.
I did volunteer as a bouncer on the site for a period of time until personal obligations took away the time that I would need to spend as a bouncer so I chose to resign.
fubar is a Social Networking website with a twist, that twist being the addition of a points game to “level” on the site. The game takes certain twists along the way and like life itself the game changes. New goals are added and some old goals are removed when they are no longer relevent to the overall game.
fubar is an 18+ web site, 18+ is by no means to be taken as an adult website. Just because a person is 18+ doesn’t mean they are an adult, if they were they would definately know how to act like one.
The design of the site (black background) was chosen to make the site easier on a persons eyes so that they would be able to spend more time on the site without developing eyestrain or headaches that other colors can cause should the person choose to be there for extended hours.
Unfortunately all web sites need to have some form of income to be able to stay up and running. The fubar site started with blasts as an income and as the popularity of the site increased, so did the offerrings of ways to help support the site. This support from the membership of the site helps it to grow and evolve as the needs arise. All of these offerring have managed to keep the site advertisement free since its humble beginning. Those member that can afford to spend money, and even some that can’t choose of their own free will if they wish to spend on the site. There are no requirements on the site for a person to spend any of their hard earned money.
Yes, if a member chooses to spend some money, they will advance in the game faster. But that is their choice, is advancing in the game more important to them or is the social networking of the site more important? Personal choices each individual must make.
To the best of my knowledge fubar.com is owned by BabyJ (Mike), Scrapper (Ryan) and from the last word I had one other person thats name is unknown to me. Yes, it shows as the flagship of Social Concepts, the company that sits as the head of all the fubar related websites and ventures.
Overall, fubar.com is a great web site, filled with interesting people that can become great friends. I highly recommend you come see it for yourself, give it an honest try. If you are female and confronted by a pervert, block them. If you are male and come wanting to be a pervert, plan on being blocked.
