Like in its earlier days, it attracted a sensible crowd of enthusiasts who were genuinely interested in weaving male chastity into their everyday lives—their actual real lives. And just as I did the first time around when I discovered MCF, I put my heart into that community. But then, the forum owner decided to slap on tacky pop-up ads for “singles in my area.” They felt so out of touch with our audience that it hit me: whoever runs that site has no clue who we are or what we’re doing there. That made me realize this place I’d invested myself in could vanish or get ruined just as arbitrarily as before. I decided not only was moderation too much for me, but real participation wasn’t viable either. Why bother? When MFC first disappeared, I looked around at other communities and couldn’t find one that clicked with me. That’s when I registered the domain for this community site. Thinking like I had before, I considered starting my own forum. But I held off because running a forum is hard work, and I’m not in it for the grind. Anyway, here we are. I hope this new spot can be everything MCF was, and maybe even more.
