I am incredible sad, I couldn't save my blog or write ppl I can't reach anymore. And i have no idea what happened. Gd and kt are both gone. Without a warning, just gone.

Glad to see you here, BGBO.
Yeah it takes a little bit to get used to it.

I can’t imagine the reaction of people who were on a hiatus and returning back though 😕

Will definitely need to recreate the Mistress May I.. thread here.

There is already a similar started here. It just needs some love
 
it's such a sad day for the whole community... I joined getdare about 15 Years ago - that's almost half of my life! Sometimes i've been more active, sometimes less. But i always met a lot of nice people there.

So sad we didn't had the chance to save our stuff and contacts. So many great storys are lost forever and we can just hope those people will join here and post them again.

Let's hope this community will grow here again, so we can still play all those "person above"-Games or Add-threads!
 
I hope many from the side find this. Everything ends one day, even the good things, but they make room for new things like this wonderful Kinky Wonderland.

And yes, the sudden shut off was very sad. Lots of written history and exchange gone. Well, we can build up new stuff here now. :)
 
I left GD a few months back because... well, I had my own reasons.

But like most, I am upset that I could not save some of the blogs with my adventures. I put a lot of time writing them out, trying to convey them in great detail, and it's so unfortunate that they all just disappeared.

I'll try to help this place grow more
 
I think it was around 2007 when I discovered the old site. It was just truth and dare at the time, but they added forums shortly after I found it. I came and went a bit over the years, as I suspect all of us probably do, but I had lots of great memories over the years, and met many nice and fun people. I explored lots of kinks in a somewhat sane/safe way. Always remember the time I was dared to walk 2 miles to find a dark spot under a certain bridge, strip and wait until morning before dressing. Something I would never have down without encouragement. (Zero chance of getting caught, and it wasn't that long of a wait, but felt like forever because of how nervous I was!) I explored lots of interests, changed from being a sub into a Dom and even came to terms with a few personal things because of the people I met, however briefly. But, now we are here to make new memories and see where this one takes us. So I'm excited for that.

I went by the name switch528 on the old site. I was super active years ago. I would still go to the chatrooms when I couldn't sleep at night, and check out threads for ideas of tasks.

Though I wasn't as active, my heart sunk when I saw the goodbye message. I can understand moving on. I am sure it was a ton of work to maintain a site with that many posts. Getting ghosted though is such a horrible thing. No opportunity to prepare, losing content, connections, history, the whole thing is an emotional trauma.

My heart goes out to everyone impacted. I am also super grateful that there is a new place were people can hang there hats.

I hope everyone impacted can heal with as much ease and grace as possible.
 
I hadn't been super active in recent months but was incredibly disappointed to see everything disappear so suddenly. I've (virtually) met and interacted with so many wonderful people and formed incredible bonds, many that are still going strong, and others that have been wonderful memories to reflect back on ... even more so now.
 
GetDare is where I discovered there are other kinky people like me 20 years ago when I was a shy teenager growing up in a small town.

I feel bad for people of all ages that are starting their journey of self discovery. Age verification has taken away so many resources.

I invite everybody who came over here after the old site went down, to share their thoughts, to mourn, but also to say Hi, and welcome this hopefully fresh start.

I just got pointed here, and gave one pointer myself. Let's hope there will be the odd snowball effect for those who actually used that site as a community of theirs.
I only just started getting back into the swing of things. And luckily I have all the email alerts of my messages. My owner and I literally met there, too, and we're now living together.

Alas. Some of us are here, and some old faces I immediately recognize are building this place and keep an eye on it. That makes me hopeful!

Hi all. 👋

Thanks everyone who have made this place possible. I was just getting back into gd after a couple year break. Welp, on to better things here.
 
The sudden closure was sich a shame indeed. There were so much nice things on there, not just the stories written, but also all the contacts made. I think I managed to save most of the individual messages by having email-notifications turned on, but many threads and the stories within them are just gone :(

New place now, and new start! Hopefully some more people that I talked to flee here :)
 
I met my husband on getDare about 11 years ago. I also met Jaro there 9 years ago.
Both have changed my life, along with countless other people who I have met over the years.
I would not be who I am now without getDare and without kink in general. It is why I was so devoted to the site for so long.
 
I'm so glad to have found this site! To anyone who has played with me on GD, hello :)

Hopefully this site can also improve on certain things gd didn't do so well. They have extremely outdated (hostile, even) privacy protocols and guarantees virtually no protection for user rights and privacy. (You can still see them on Internet Archive.) One of the things that really bothered me, especially since it's a kink site.
