VOTE - We Need Your Input: MeetFighters App and our new project

Hello Fighters and Kinksters,

We're at a crossroads and your input is crucial. We're not only deciding on the name of our new website but also prioritizing features for the next update of the Meetfighters app. Your voice matters! Below, you find three votes:

Meetfighters App

Version 1.5.2 of the Meetfighters app brought some exciting new features, including an idle indicator, Challenges, a full implementation of Recommendations, and more. And there's more on the horizon - version 1.6 will drop soon.
With version 1.6 emphasizing Events and Match Requests, what should we prioritize next? Let us know your top 3:

Localization Consideration

We're aware that discussing app and website localization in an English post might not fully represent our diverse community's needs. However, as we consider offering the Meetfighters app, and the new website, in multiple languages, we're interested in your preferences. How important is a localized experience for you?


Localization:
This poll is closed.

4th Website Name

We recently introduced our plans for a new site, a space we're excited to develop with your involvement. You can sign up for updates via the newsletter at lustfinity.com. Our initial idea was to create a distinct identity separate from our existing sites, hence the proposed name. However, we've listened to feedback from various channels and noticed that 'Lustfinity' isn't resonating with everyone. As an alternative, the name 'MeetKink' was suggested.

Now, we're turning to you, our community, to help us decide:


Website Name:
EDIT: For clarification: This name is for our 4th website. MeetFighters will not be renamed.
This poll is closed.

Here's a short teaser to help you get the feel for the site:

Stay strong,

The app connects with the main site to enable the discovery of other user profiles and to showcase your profile efficiently.

Regarding the payment concerns, I'd like to clarify that our app is completely free, including the regular updates. Additionally, any explicit or adult content is not available due to Apple App Store's guidelines for iOS applications. While there is a potential workaround, it would require additional effort and development.

I have no interest in an "app". I use the web site adequately both on a PC and on my phone.

The site is already very good technically, except that there is very poor filtering by location. I have limited interest in people in other countries or 200 miles away in this one, yet have to plough through numerous of their records in any search. There is a simple formula for great circle distance between two places, given their latitude and longitude, so filtering by distance can be offloaded entirely to the database server. Better filtering by distance would be far more useful than an "app".

Translate

Admin

1/14/2024 12:54 AM

(In reply to this)

Yes, we are using it. And you can filter and sort by distance on the website. The app also uses the server's DB to get these results.
The only difference is that the app delivers a more accurate location than the browser.

ManManc (2)

1/14/2024 9:29 PM

(In reply to this)

Where can I sort by distance? If I search (for example) for "New members in your region", I see various sort options, none of which is "distance". I see (among others) "order by location", which gives me first towns like Aberdeen, then Abergavenny and so on. I'm not clear who would ever use that. Under "Search", I can *filter* for members within a certain distance of a specified place, but I don't see how to *sort* by distance, so that I see closer members first. That screen has the same options as "New members in your region" (no option for distance). Surely sorting by distance should be an option for all searches.

1/14/2024 1:22 AM

For enhancements, my 3rd choice is to focus on integrating the What's New features from the web site so I can see new members, etc.

As for the new site name, all the related sites are xxxFighters (e.g. MeetFighters, WatchFighters, etc.) I would recommend keeping with this theme and suggest something like MeetFightersKink, MeetFightersPlus, MeetFightersXtra, etc.

I don't think the 4th site would be a great idea. I'd rather go in the other direction and bring all websites to meetfighters. Why creating more websites if you can just improve meetfighters? MF has already Videos, chats and Kink content. It can just be better organized and filtered by people who just want fights or just fight kinks. With one more site, each user would need to manage 4 profiles (one per Site) and access 4 websites to check all updates.

I agree with ManManc that the website is more than excellent for those of us who are just looking to wrestle, and I probably wouldn't ever use an app. And if a 2nd website is planned for sex hookups, I hope that it doesn't detract from usage of Meetfighters by those who actually wrestle.

Iā€™ve always been somewhat dismayed by those using MF for just sexual hookups or to be keyboard masturbators - it makes my enjoyment of this site so low that Iā€™m considering leaving it altogether.
So having a separate site for those that are purely interested in kinks and sex is excellent - letā€™s keep this site purely for those that wrestle and want to!
Iā€™m likely to be flogged for saying it, but I no longer care as I feel so strongly about this point and I know Iā€™m not alone.

(In reply to this)

TL;DR: We are not against sex, but that is never the priority of MF.

I think it's not about 'fairness' but rather about frustration. Sure, you can ignore it and move on to the next profile, but if you have to skip every second profile because they're only interested in sex (which you find out after three days of chatting), it can get frustrating. If you join a dedicated website, called "MeetFighters" and most only want sex you are less engaged in, and probably you forget about the site soon.

We faced a similar problem with cyber fighters who were here only for chatting and fantasy, but not in real life. I think this number drastically dropped when we started promoting ChatFighters to them (previously, we could only block them, but these guys would, of course, come back). Creating a dedicated platform for them tackled the problem in the most efficient way.

We applied the same approach to WatchFighters. Instead of fighting with production companies and punishing users for buying from them on our website, we created their own site dedicated to selling and buying videos.

We don't block or take any actions against users who join MF solely for hookups, as it would be impossible to prove with certainty within a reasonable workload. Also, our Terms of Service donā€™t force people to fight only. However, with the experience we gained from ChatFighters and WatchFighters, we strongly believe that providing a better alternative is the most substantial way forward.

As many pointed out, MeetFighters tries to stay true to its core. We work hard to avoid being diluted with fake profiles, people interested only in commercial activities, or fantasy chatters. MF has a slow but steady growth. Our numbers would be much higher if we didnā€™t actively manage this. We also ensure that only active members are presented in search results, and inactive accounts are automatically deleted.

I'm also aware that there are already websites and apps out there for sex and hookups, yet we see an increase in users joining MF primarily for that reason. We have a few theories why they prefer MF, most likely in addition to other well-known platforms. So, with the new site, we aim to apply what we've learned from over 15 years of running MF to a new sex-oriented website.

To be clear, even after the launch of the new site, we will not ban or remove any profiles from MF for engaging in sex. Sex has always been allowed on MF, but we expect that by providing a dedicated platform specialized in these kinds of encounters, there will be no need anymore to sign up for MF, and the account would be removed automatically by the system.

Unfortunately the ā€œviceā€ video did no favours to MF, especially seeing as it was named on the video as were at least two members that took part in it. Blinkered people see wrestling as some kind of kink, which is why every time the site gets named as a fetish site thereā€™s a huge surge in members.
Sad really.

YES!
MeetFighters will remain as it is; this was never a question. And it will keep receiving updates.

The 4th website will also be created in addition, just like we created ChatFighters, WatchFighters, and soon MeetKink.

https://www.ChatFighters.com - Focus on fictional characters and chat/cyber interactions (which took some load of fake/cyber accounts from MeetFighters)
https://www.WatchFighterts.com - Focus as a video platform to allow selling and buying videos (which took some load from production companies and view only accounts from MeetFighters)
(Soon) MeetKink - Focus on Sex, BDSM, and Kinks, (which might take some load of sex-only accounts from MeetFighters)
And to be clear, nobody needs to leave MeetFighters or has to join MeetKink - it will be an option we provide. But as a dedicated platform created from the ground up centered around this topic, it hopefully attacks members on its own.

By giving each a dedicated platform, MeetFighters can focus more on Real Fighters who want to meet for a match.

With ChatFighters (the first spinoff), we noticed that instead of fighting and banning certain user groups, it is more fun and efficient in the log term to dedicate a platform for them, with its own tools and features to support this kind of activities.

I suggest KinkyFighters or SexFighters for the name. Trying to compete with the established not-fighting-focused kink communities who have hundreds of thousands of users will be an uphill battle, and if the new site is not focused on the fighting kink then it will not attract the users who specifically choose MeetFighters because of its fighting focus. Otherwise they will just go to the more established not-fighting-focused sites. The site which is currently called Lustfinity should be focused on fighting instead of generalized on all of the kinks. There are other kinks that fit in with fighting that can be in the site as well, but it will not work for the community you intend to build if it is not fight focused.

I like the site and I log in regularly, though I'm not meeting so often these days. I like to use the Photo Peer Review function, just to see what sort of people are joining up and hopefully to make a small contribution to the involvement of users that you seem to welcome. However...
It really, really, really, hacks me off that you continue (admittedly less than you used to, but still irritatingly) to send me on a refresher course every now and then if I come up with a judgment that differs from the final one other users seem to have settled on. You should simply accept that people will have differing views (otherwise what would be the point of asking their opinion?) and stop patronising users by asking us to 'get it right' before we can participate again.
Rant over, please keep up the good work, but stop patronising!

Thatā€™s what we do.
But in small stages. To not push too many changes at once.
The recent example is the new chat https://www.meetfighters.com/chat?beta=1#/
Which is used in the app and can be used in the web.

Regarding why the app:
Well it is kind of expected.
And technically browser based notifications- which we offer - are just much more clunky than the app ecosystem of notifications offered by iOS/Android.
Notifications about messages were one of the main driver for the app.
