Fubar

Whoever is posting as Gary B with the Blue WVU flag is an impostor. Posting negative comments using my name and likeness you are cowards. If I have something to say to Fubar. I will address them as a man. And not hide behind a keyboard. Anyone that knows me, knows I would never use name slurring or disrespect. And another thing I have worked in the natural gas field for 18+ years and not computers. At least take time to look at my pics and get a few facts correct.

The good, bad, and ugly side of Fu. It's a microcosm of RL. A popularity contest. There are cliques and the bling whores, who beg for virtual bling by flashing their goods. If you have money, you can buy your way to the top. One can find alliances, find their tribe. A mish mosh of: devote Christians, stoners, rockers, shut ins, those who are sick, some with terminal illness', bikers, fairies, queers, quite a few Trumpsters, lonely folks seeking 'the one', loners, guys who flash their thingy, women who flash their whatever's. Vanity on full display.

And compliments to whomever is making the bucks playing on the weaknesses and vanity of its members for profit. After certain (top) members spend thousands, or hundreds of thousands of dollars, they have far too much invested to leave. Yes, I'm still a member, though I once had an issue with some jealous woman who made up all sorts of drama complained to the 'bouncers', and tried to have me booted. I was friends with the man she was rather infatuated with and was getting weirdly possessive of. It all felt very juvenile. And goodness, people can get mean and catty, fake friends, but yes you can find some true gems too.

The padding. No, there aren't millions of users, thousands yes. A core group, and about 30k at the most users, not all active. In fact, many trolls, scammers, men pretending to women, w/ fake profiles, that aren't removed, so that just pads the numbers. I would wager to guess, based on looking through my own account, that 60% are deactivated accounts, and another 25% are inactive. Though I suspect the number is higher.

The positive: It's a game, it's fun, a distraction, there are still nice people, and the possibility of making friends, and I assume based on what I heard, RL relationships (probably more than hookups). So why is it advertised to be a hookup site?

I was a member years ago, but didn't really understand how it all worked, so i gave up, and left. In 2017, i came back, and got to know DEB. She taught me a little about how it all worked, but i still didn't know very much. Then i met my girlfriend sweetz, and she taught me all about it. She took the time to make sure i understood how to play the game. Since then, i have been a very active member, and have tried to help others. I have had multiple convos with SCRAPPER, and he has been completely cool with me. The people who trash fubar, and SCRAPPER, are angry because they got called out for doing something wrong. It is not a requirement to spend any money on fubar, so those who do, chose to do so. Once people understand what everything means, they usually get more active. If you decide to join, feel free to look me up, and if you need help figuring things out, i will do my best. Just remember to have fun, and be cool.

I have written a few reviews here about this site. Back in 2009 I had my first fu profile under the name Gem Girl. Back then I wasn't sober yet and I know I approached things the wrong way, of course I was booted off. In May of 2017 I made another account under the name Kimberly, which evolved into Distants Kim and in the end just Kim. I came back in 2017 with a fresh attitude and 4 years sober. In this account my primary focus was on helping others with the game, and that I did. I made a few very cherished friends this time around and a few who I thought were friends but sadly I found out were not. I worked that page everyday for two years and in December of 2018 I reached the top level and my first crown, my second crown came a few months later as I got to level 75 and in the end I was the first one to reach level 76. There were many who were not happy that I got there first. Nobody knew who I actually was except the people closest to me, Distantraveler, MFKN Acesindahole, and Smokey the Bearman. They are the three closest to me and they watched me rise to the top. I also had quite a few haters for reasons that I never truly understood, I blocked one for leaving unnecessary comments to a friend of mine and she went around spreading all sorts of negative things about me, it was so blown up it was laughable, that's how the so called divas' on that site react when someone else gets to the top before they do, someone told me that they went on a witch hunt, and they did because a month after I got to level 76 they deleted my whole profile saying in my first account I cost the site a ton of money but whenever I ask for proof of that or how I can make right what supposedly happened they can't even provide a list of names or proof that I ever did anything wrong. One friend of mine said that an admin told her that they don't have a problem with me but that it's Scrapper's personal grudge against me. It is what it is and if you hate someone that much and want to carry it around with you for the rest of your life that's on you. I achieved every goal that I set out to do on fubar. I came back and got the crown three times, I went out on top and I'm good with that. The fact that they deleted my profile or hid it tells me that they didn't want people to be asking questions about what happened, so why not just bury it lol In that account I did nothing wrong, and they deleted a crown and I've heard from many that the site hasn't been the same since. The fact is that if they don't like you for whatever reason on fubar they'll find a reason to get rid of you, fair or unfair, justified or not they'll make up a reason if they have to, I've seen it happen. If you hurt the feelings of one of their precious bouncers, you might as well just say goodbye. Any good review that you see on jabber is most likely a bouncer that has written it or been asked to write a positive review. One bouncer asked me to write a positive review and I did about 8 months ago, he knows who he is. It is actually very funny when I look back and think about it, I wasn't supposed to be there but somehow was invited into the bouncers personal chat room and I was even fu married to a bouncer for a whole 12 hours lol all that any of them know how to do is bully and intimidate people. I won't even go as far to say this is a scam site, the same people that have been there for over a decade are still there and that keeps them going. Those profiles there do not belong to the members, they belong to fu and fu can take them away anytime they want to, the Kim profile had over 8000 blings, I still had credits in it, 101,000 achievement points and my crown, and they deleted it all without any reason, and if there was a reason they have no proof. What an unprofessional way to run a website. Life goes on though! One day there will be a website that is created that is actually a game, and fair, a place where the bullies don't run the site and you can make actual friends.

I have been on FuBar 12 years. Most the reviews here are from people that are still playing the game! Stop crying because you break the rules and get caught and pay the penalty for cheating and or not following TOS rules! The Staff at FuBar Rocks! Bouncers volunteer there time and work there butts off to keep members informed and happy " not an easy task" but they do it daily to keep things running as smoothly as possible for the players. As far as there being favoritism give me a break! You level by how you choose to play your game, nothing more nothing less. If you choose to spend money cool, if not cool! No One forces you to spend money on FuBar it is a choice. Just Follow the rules, Make some friends, And have some Fun!

ALL I am going to say is the site was FUN off and on for 13+ years. I did have two accounts VERIFIED salute and email(and phone number) ** I know of MANY users that have more than 1 account. I left FU FOR GOOD 2 days ago and this is why. I had friends use my laptop to make accounts(profiles) for them. ** when a friend wants to use something if I have it I let them thats how I am *** ANY way I went in the help lounge asking why my friends accounts have been LOCKED. I waited about 45 seconds then SCRAPPER chimes in(I wish I would have saved what he said. Screen grabbed who was in the lounge but didnt) "dont bother helping her she is a FAKE and scammer. IS THIS HOW a social site should be? I dont think so EVERYONE online or not deserves RESPECT. The picture below is showing that it is possible for IPs to be really close(someone needs glasses) my friend put the "frames around it sorry"

I was a member of Fubar for less than a week only. I enjoy it and meet a lot of friends. I invited some of my friends too to earn a billion points. And I earned those points. I was so happy!
After an hour I was trying to log in back to check my Profile there. But my email add is wrong it says. My friends can't find my name either. I contacted the service site immediately and no response at all. They kicked me out or what happened is a big question to me.
Plus, I used my credit card to reward myself!

Been on Fubar for years, saw the favoritism but it never really affected me personally, so I just ignored it. The problem is when management & staff are allowed to have profiles on the site & make friends. How that affected me was I spent a lot of money on the site, gave a lot of VIPs and Bling, so if someone knew comes on and you like them & start to give them bling the "bling whores" many who are friends with staff & scrapper complain that the person is "fake" and due to the friendships they delete the person of shut their page so they can't access it! This happened to a friend of mine and I went to bat, refuted the evidence they showed and still talk the person they called a "scammer" everyday on Skype and they have NEVER asked me for anything including money! Oh Fubar always falls back on "we have information you don't" well I know how to find information on the deep web too & they had none but the complaints of a jealous "crown" friend. When Scrapper threatened to delete my page because I dared to challenge him & his stuff about their treatment of my friend that was it for me. I am taking my money elsewhere.

I have been a member on Fubar for a few years. It was once my happy place. The levels you had to master, the good friends I made. The past few years it has become about the money. It's billed as a social game site, but it's really for the income, and that's ok just call it what it is. Unlike a lot of these reviews I won't slam Scrapper, he has always been more than fair with me. The only part of the actual game I can play anymore are the holiday bling hunt games. This last game I tracked down just over 300 bling. To do this I was searching for up to 12 hours a day for over a week. Apparently they thought that nobody could actually spend that much time there without spending money, so they banned me from the current game and called me a cheater. I'm not sure if I will return to fu, my feelings are hurt right now. This I will tell you, don't believe all of the bad things being said here, but be leery of all of the gushing things too. No site or admins are that perfect. Try the site out yourself and make your own decision like a grown up.

Anyone with an iota of common sense can see that the 1 star negative reviews are written by pathetic angry people... or should I say "person". The perpetual victim, who never lets the reader know that they were the cause of any issue that might have happened. If you have a cavity, do you keep it to grow and cause pain? Of course not... so why should Fubar allow any angry people to stay or continue to come back to spread the hatred? I have witnessed Scrapper on many an occasion work with an upset member, calm them down and help resolve a situation, with that user ending up happy and understanding that admin is fair and does anything they can to resolve problems. NO business will put up with theft, dishonesty or fraud of any kind, so why should Fubar? It is a social network for adults, where people can have fun and play the leveling game whether they choose to spend money or not. You signed up and agreed to the site's TOS, so why get all bent out of shape when you not only break them, but abuse them beyond belief. Take your drama llama home to mom's basement and get over it butthurt people.

I have been on fubar since early 2007, and have made several friends for life, and have met some in person. If negative people try to cause issues, I learned to just block them and laugh at the silliness of their drama. Bouncers volunteer their time to help keep the site fun and help with questions people have about the site, leveling achievements etc.

Like the others have said, Fubar will be whatever you make of it, but know that they will not tolerate your drama or TOS violations, just like any other site, including this reveiw site.
