MISSION ACCOMPLISHED



I've now retrieved all my blog posts that I wanted to rescue from Adult FriendFinder (AFF). This mission was accomplished over three days.

I've now got folders where my Amsterdam, climate change, Ess and Emm (a BDSM-styled cottage), Eurovision, girlfriends, Leeds United, sex clubs, sex parties, swinging and Tour de France blog posts are safely saved.

Going through my blog posts - there were nearly 2,000 of them, I was pleased that I had kept an index of all my blog posts as that made retrieving my posts much easier. I probably saved about a hundred blog posts.

One thing that struck me when looking at my blog posts is what a load of random rubbish I blogged about in my early blogging years. Some may say that very little has changed in my later blogging years!

Having saved my blog posts now means I can be freer in what I write about now. I've got what I wanted from AFF and another ban wouldn't affect me adversely. In fact, I think I'd see another ban as a badge of honour! I think it's time I post here my 'Dear Jon' letter that I penned a while back.

I'm still very much in lurk-mode on AFF. Because I haven't submitted a blog post since my return, I'm not getting any alerts for comments left on my blog. I'm only getting alerts for new blog posts submitted by bloggers I follow. With a few exceptions of blog posts from special friends, I'm just deleting the alerts without even reading the posts. I'm not bothering with Club 7, though I read the occasional posting to see what's bugging people on AFF.

I'm quite pleased that so far I've disciplined myself to not get sucked back into things.

    *Standing ovation* for several prolonged minutes.

    Job well done. I must say that I'm highly impressed you got it all done that quickly. So proud of you my friend, so proud.

    I'm not sure I would have had the same discipline. You did awesome.

    Kudos to you and accomplishing your goal and also for your convictions and not being sucked back in. I have no doubt, it would be an easy thing to do as you are a well known and highly respected one from that site.. Huge High Five here..

      I'll only get sucked back in if and hopefully when Andrew wins his court case.

      Being happy is key to everything.
      My heart has gone from AFF after our bans; my heart was going before the bans.

      I can't break Jon's heart as he doesn't seem to have one!

    Impressive! My current status - starting number of posts 1890, down to 1643 (I am deleting after I save, or just plain deleting if the post is rubbish). Unlike you I am NOT saving my Tour de France posts, since most of them were just a short recap as an excuse to post a picture of cute bicycle racers - the photos are long gone, which makes the posts somewhat useless!

    I look forward to your kiss-off post although my guess is it might not be visible for long!

      Nearly all my photos, especially on posts over a year old have nearly all disappeared.
      You are making steady progress in saving your posts. As the saying goes, Rome wasn't built in a day!
      In my case, it helped that I wasn't saving all my posts. And because I was nerdy enough to maintain an index of my blog posts, it was quite easy to find what I wanted to save.

I AM YET ANOTHER AFF EXILE HERE

Image
This is my first blog post on this blogging platform. I am an exile who under the alias of spunkycumfun recently got banned from the Adult FriendFinder (AFF). I was banned along with with three other members of the awkward squad, JN63JPN, EnigmaInitiative and author51. Perhaps the new Gang of Four! I prefer the post-punk band's Gang of Four reference than the Maoist reference that led to the many deaths during China's so-called Cultural Revolution, but the latter led to the former! The Maoist Gang of Four were the purgers and not the purged, so I'm going up the wrong road here. I'm now reversing! Probably everyone knows why I and others were banned from AFF, so I'll spare you the depressing detail. I realise that only a very few will probably read this post and I realise that only those who know me from AFF will read this post. So there's not much point introducing myself further as I'm probably talking to those who already know me from AFF. All I can say

DEAR JON

Image
Here a 'Dear John' letter is a letter sent by one person to finish a relationship with another person. Obviously in the digital age, emails have largely replaced letters. In this case I didn't actually dump Jon, he dumped me. But why stop the facts get in the way of a good metaphor. I will enjoy writing this letter to Jon! Below is my letter to Jon Buckheit, FriendFinder Networks' chief executive officer. It's by being a paying gold member for many years of Adult FriendFinder (AFF), one of the many FriendFinder Networks' sites, through which I unfortunately got to know about Jon. __________________________________________________________________________ Dear Jon I know you'll read this letter even though I've not posted it to you - stamps are now very expensive here in Britain, and even though I've not emailed it to you - emails are just so dehumanising, don't you think? You've let it be known that you're following the people you've r

IS ADULT FRIENDFINDER IN ITS DEATH THROES?

Image
Aerikvon's Death Throes by AerikVon : Having returned to Adult FriendFinder (AFF), part of FriendFinder Networks, about three weeks ago after my ban, I'm starting to believe that the site is now in its death throes. Though the blogs I follow cannot be regarded as representative of blogland, my list of followed blogs cover a lot of bloggers who actually blog as opposed to posting photos of porn without text or posting hook-me-ups. Before my ban, my guess is that I would have received on average about a hundred alerts each day. Given I haven't submitted a blog post since my return and my blog posts, which would have perhaps attracted on average about 25 comments, and given I don't submit too many comments nowadays, I should now expect about 50 alerts per day. But the number of alerts I receive are no more than about 20 each day. That is a significant decrease in the number of alerts I'm now receiving from what I used to receive. My observation is that bloggers (at lea
