Important announcement regarding the future of this forum

A lot has changed in the adult entertainment industry in recent years—especially the growing legal requirement to verify the age of visitors from the UK and other jurisdictions. Implementing these measures is not only complex, but also expensive.

Unfortunately, the FreeOnes forums currently generate no revenue and cost us a significant amount to operate. With new legislation coming into effect, continuing to run the forums in their current form is no longer sustainable. We're left with two choices: shut them down entirely, or introduce a small monthly fee to help cover costs.

We've chosen to keep the forums open—but going forward they will be accessible only to paying members of FreeOnes.com. To make this more affordable, we're reducing the price of our Bronze membership tier to just $3/month.

We understand that this change won’t be welcomed by everyone, but it's the only viable option to keep the community alive while staying compliant with the law.

We're also in the process of making the rest of the site PG-13 compliant, which will allow us to adapt to new regulatory environments and better serve a broader audience.

We'll closely monitor how these changes are received and make adjustments as needed.

To upgrade to Bronze membership and continue enjoying forum access—plus additional benefits—please follow this link: https://www.freeones.com/premium

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
 
When do the changes come into effect?

We will all be free once.
The payment processor for FreeOnes is @verotel . They are in the Netherlands. Given that Amsterdam is a free and liberal city, it's surprising that Verotel is so conservative. Contrary to everything in Holland.

The Netherlands were liberal once.
The cultural and political climate over there has been changing, slowly yet surely.
Like almost everywhere else on this planet.

I predict a long(er) period of (mostly hypocritical) prudishness and associated regulations.
More 18+ websites are going to suffer from this.

FreeOnes : My Alternative to Prevagen®
Usually when a political or religious ideology pursues an agenda like this, it is a sign (likely recognized by only a few of
its adherents) that it is UNABLE to effect more important changes (compare the Temperance Movement in the U.S. in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and, then-current issues of immigration and race). Protection of ******** from
'sexually explicit content' now is easier than protecting them from the effects of climate change.
 
Any comment is unnecessary. Including ones ****** about supporting a site they've been on for over a decade. You're always on me for some reason.

Shaming people because they're exercising a choice not to pay for something just fosters bad faith. If you think I'm always on you then maybe you should stop making dickish remarks like this. Don't post again in this thread.
