AdultForum Admin Ponders Pulling the Plug!

BREAKING NEWS: The Admin of AdultForum is considering what to do with his forum after one member likened their continue presence on there to be like "clinging to relevance like the final days of a slightly toxic relationship". Other members complained that there is no point posting reviews on there any more, as nobody else does, and nobody reads them.

Most of the last remaining members on there are in full agreement that the forum's demise is due to censorship in two ways: Firstly the over the top moderation, from toxic individuals such as Amber "Big Red/Grey" O'Hara, who would ban members for criticising other sex workers. And secondly, the "DND" (Do Not Disturb) list whereby NewZealandGirl's advertising escorts could request that Forum members be prohibited from writing reviews on them, a service unavailable to ladies who advertise elsewhere such as Escortify.

The AdultForum Admin weighed in and admitted that the censorship went too far but still expressed his full support for Amber "Big Red/Grey" O'Hara's actions and the DND list. Mr AF also discussed the mismanagement of the forum and his lack of participation on his own forum and blamed it on lack of interest and having other higher priority tasks. He admitted trying to save the forum from total death would require him needing to put a lot of unpaid work hours into it and that he has “zero incentive to do so”.

Mr AF reminded the other members that he is not a “punter” and did not have “an active interest in the lifestyle, or consuming & contributing to these conversations from experience”. He suggested perhaps turning the forum into a medical cannabis forum and making some major reforms such as revising the rules and unbanning thousands of members.

Some of the other members remarked that it is “too late” to try and save the decaying forum and that no amount of new moderators, rule changing, or unbanning will bring people back and save it now. One die-hard member suggested the AdultForum “is dead in the water if it retains a DND list” and Mr AF responded by saying “abolishing the DND list completely is unlikely”.

Another member suggested the reason the forum will never remove the list is because NZGirls tolerates baiting and switching and benefits monetarily from the deceitful actions such escorts. Despite promising to relax censorship and restrictions, Mr AF stated he would have now have to enforce a rule where he would prohibit all mention of the other forums, SexForum and PunterHub!

Although it is unlikely to happen, the removal of the DND list would be a major blow to the many activist escorts who have been loudly championing it, including those trying to introduce it to SexForum. The irony of course is that the same escorts who defended the DND list so valiantly, have already turned their back on AdultForum and joined SexForum where they continue to dominate the discouse. Such is their loyalty!

On a positive note I am please to report that AdultForum is still active in one area, it’s word games! Currently the forum is running FOUR different word games. The oldest of which has been running since 2008. One particularly enthusiastic member, ClassicMan, has posted in all four of the games and has been eagerly waiting since Monday for another member to respond!
 
Ah yes AF must admit it was legendary and ground breaking but they gave the power to the whores which blew it up. They should do a best of list for reviews over it’s circa twenty year existence and maybe archive a few pieces. While I hate it there’s no doubt it has its legacy. SF shook the framework but also made people realise it’s not that hard to create forum.

I think the main reason why it was so prominent was because there was not really any alternative, and of course it had the backing and support of NZG.
 
Good riddance to them it always was a shit forum, I wasn't a foundation member but I was an original from when they first started in 2008 and have been through a few profiles over the years (never banned or warned), the site has always had a big culture of censorship and control over what can and can't be said and how you say things, it also had a big culture of ganging up and attacking other members for posting their point of view so watch out when someone else's view or opinion is different to yours. Fucken waste of time trying to be an escort review site under that structure, the only useful function that site ever provided was the PM function amongst members, I passed on a shitload of good intel to others and also received some good shit back form others that you couldn't ever post publicly or talk about on there
 
Funny how for such a shit forum everyone is so interested in it. It was great in it's day, it's just a bit old and tired, the owners lost direction. The same thing could happen to this forum in 12 months

It's kinda like your first good car: Pretty awesome, was a great thing at the time, but times change and you move on to bigger better things
 
I am definitely too new to this...

I thought SF was bad with the request galore but took a look at the barren land of AF, it's sad.

i think the reality is, the AF guy is already rich.
i forget his name, jesse or something like that. his social media is easy enough to find.
he has racecars with "NZgirls" emblazoned on the side.
lots of social media posts where he looks, or at least pretends to look, very fucking rich.
i heard his dad started it all and passed it on to him.

if you think about it, even now they are selling 700 ads, its like 100$ per week for an ad. thats like 70K per week in revenue.
theyve been doing this for 10 years. they have made a shit load of money.

even with all these new forums, they still sell a shit load of ads.
its only once his ad revenue really drops that we will probably see any real action.

my guess is, its not even him who runs adult forum

Spot on.

He prob has 1 or 2 tech staff (one of which is Mr AF) and a few contract ad managers to deal with the girls.
Pretty good returns on a $3m turnover business with little overheads.

Jesse Greenslade, his dad Rob started it.
He used to be into motorsport drifting. Has an Advertising company, New Age, i think from memory

With girlfriends it’s the opposite. Each one I had got better and smaller.
 
It’s be a shame if it gets deleted, lots of good content over the years, like the burning of alexandria
To be honest most of it is old outdated information anyway and I imagine a significant amount of the girls review on there have long since left the industry. Also I don't think I have ever read a review on that whole forum that I personally found entertaining. When I used to browse it occasionally at times from 2008-2024 it was only ever to check whether a girl had been confirmed to be a B&S or not.

In my opinion, I think a big part of the reason it died is because, let's face it, filthy explicit reviews are far more entertaining and enjoyable to read, than bland PG ones. And if you have somewhere where men can actually read and post reviews like that those, there's going to be a stampede of internet traffic heading there. I find it a bit hypocritical that the guy running it was so concerned about the morality of what others post on forums when his family is, well was might be the more accurate term, the biggest pimps in the country. They made a fortune from selling sex and, to a much smaller degree, porn in their Member's section. Is writing explicit reviews any worst than that? Hell, half the damn escorts and pimps these days are writing filthy explicit reviews about themselves or their workers to bring in business!

I imagine that AdultForum has become a pain in the Admin's arse, I'm surprised he still hasn't shut it down. I don't think anyone would hold it against him if he did at this point. I imagine the internet community would appreciate it if he archived the whole thing and made it available publicly though.

I do agree with many of these criticisms. However, I still think it is good to keep it online as an archive because it reminds me of the names of escorts I visited in the late 2000s and 2010s. It provides some historic data that helps us long term punters keep track of memories.
 
They dug their own grave. There's nobody else to blame but themselves.

I used to be active at AF until 2 years ago, then had enough. The level of censorship there is appalling. A single mistake, like a comma put out of place, a wrong word used in a phrase, or mentioning the name of someone who should not be mentioned, means an automatic ban.
It's like there are a few people who have total control and authority over everyone else, sort of a North Korea of the New Zealand sex industry.

I decided to leave when I raised some very concerning points about fake ads, fake photos, etc.. and that I felt that sex workers had total rights to do whatever they wanted and they would never suffer any consequence, while clients have no rights at all, even to talk about the issue.

I was reprehended and threatened with a life ban if I insisted on my point.
 
I feel your pain. I remember I must have made at least 5 accounts on there over the, each time I made a post to complain about a bad experience seeing an escort because I wanted to warn others. For 4 of them I briefly wrote a very short PG review, nothing like the reviews I write now. And each time my reviews were prompted deleted, either because they breached the DND or just because the moderators didn't like them. On one occasion they kept my review up and all the other forum members were criticizing me for the short comings of the escort. What's the point of posting reviews if they prevent you from saying anything negative?

For a laugh I might have to dig up that old review and the responses to it and post it here just to illustrate my point!
 
Imagine thinking that inviting banned people to return would turn AF around
Yeah, shows how delusional they are. It's absolutely bizarre how they cannot see AdultForum is dead and will never recover.

PunterHub has been running 3 months now and it's already more active than AdultForum. It also consistently has more "active" (online) users than AdultForum as well according to the statistics at the bottom of AF. Although most online users just lurk and don't post!

But I guess that's not saving much considering how dead AdultForum is! 🤣
