- Jan 2017 work has started on a brand new freeones website

Uh-oh.

Brace yourselves, the bitching is coming.:D
 
I'm sure there is plenty I'm missing but going through my notes, this is what I was able to come up with as far as milestones. Board wise, we've had a lot of controversy and characters over the years like BaconSalt and JSmoothpa.

I'm still waiting for my copy of Fantasy Fucking 1.

Uh-oh.

Brace yourselves, the bitching is coming.:D

There's always going to be people who won't be happy with change. However, I have to say, I think the majority will be pretty happy with the new site. We have a really neat new video player and a search feature that will knock the socks off the grumpiest person. ;-) Oh, and it's completely responsive (finally).

We've only been working on the core features, so we haven't started on myFreeOnes features or decided what we're going to do with the board yet (keep vbulletin, switch to another out of the box forum software, or make something bespoke). That will come next year after we've launched the new site.

I'm still waiting for my copy of Fantasy Fucking 1.

I know! So am I! Wonder if he managed to find someone to buy his script from whatever deep hole he was thrown in for threatening the president.

In other words, the forum as we know it most likely dead as fried chicken. That's probably a good thing.

More than likely we will not continue the board in it's current state. We really can't do much with creating nifty new things with vbulletin and we really rather have discussion areas and whatnot be more integrated into the site itself.

It's just a question if we're going to try another software that is more flexible and better supported, or if we'll build it ourselves.

Rest assured, we will be able to retain all the threads and user info. That won't go away. Just how we'll use it? We'll have to see.

Honestly, dealing with the board is pretty far out on the planning list. Right now we're focusing on the core features of freeones.com itself (babes, photos, videos, links) and a few extras that will make it pretty fucking awesome for the open beta.

I think FreeOnes should completely wipe the current forums and start new. It would infuse new life into the site and might encourage renewed interest.

Like xfire, like you...

I kinda find the perspective of restarting this forum with a brand-spanking new softwar and setup highly attractive.

This would be something in 2017 that is a change or real good

I think so, too...but I also remember the shitstorms past. :D

Is FreeOnes draining the swamp?

Errr, no, the title of this thread is asking about the history of FreeOnes, not about wiping out history. If something like that has to happen, I strongly implore that the existing threads be locked down into read-only mode and preserved in that state. Digital history is so easy to lose compared to the past when it was on paper or carved into rocks.

Don't worry, IF we decided to start from scratch I'd make sure we preserve the board content in an archive. It would be stupid to get rid of all this history and content. Good or bad, it's still 10 years of my life here. ;-)

You changed my mind. I want to keep my username, post count, and have my rep power actually count for something!

I know the board has been reorganized over time and threads have been moved around, but ignoring that, here are the first threads posted in each of the following categories. At least it gives an idea of when discussion on each topic began. Ignoring "Sticky" threads and "test" threads, here we go:

First girl posted in the Buy Galleries section of MyFreeOnes is:

Terri Summers Lesbian sex with Alissa Webb
2005-01-10
100 credits
http://my.freeones.com/cgi-bin/galleriesbrowse.pl?a=showgal&g=12 (gallery 12)

However, if you just use the URL, posted on the same day is:

Erica Campbell Cowgirl
2005-01-10
100 credits
http://my.freeones.com/cgi-bin/galleriesbrowse.pl?a=showgal&g=4 (gallery 4)

So my nod is to Erica Campbell. Galleries 1 to 3 are lost to time.

Interesting to note is that while clicking "previous" again and again, I noticed a few galleries that are zero credits to buy. I wasn't really paying attention but the first ones I saw were before 2010. Your homework, find them and post them here.
 
This thread is over five years old. How different are things on the admin/mod side since then? Talk definitely isn't as active as it used to be. How is FreeOnes set going into the future? Any changes on the horizon? @Petra @FreeOnes @FreeOnes_Adam @Steve-FreeOnes
The more they change, the more they stay the same. The activity level of the talk is probably, at least in part, related to the extraordinary damnatio memoriae singularly leveled on a user more sinned against than sinning in the intervening period of which you speak - like, who wants to be next, right? And that's how you quell dissent. Or comment, for that matter. But it's old school all the time, and the more things change they more they stay the lame.
