MeetFighters News

Dear Fighters,

We've updated our chat system to enhance your experience and data privacy. Here's what's new:

Key Changes

• Simular to contributing members' Mail messages, Chat messages now do not expire as well.
• All chat conversations (public, private, and direct) will retain their history indefinitely.
• Exception: In the official room (#meetfighters), conversations will now be saved for 7 days (previously 2 hours).

Access to the new Chat History

• Everyone can see conversations from the past 7 days.
• Contributing members can access the full history of private conversations and rooms indefinitely.

Chat Features Reminder

• Create or be invited to private rooms.
• Join or create public rooms.
• Participate in the official room (#meetfighters).
• Have private one-on-one conversations, including video or audio calls.
• Share pictures from your MeetFighters Picture Manager for full control over your images.
• Use drag & drop or copy & paste to attach new pictures directly to the chat.

Picture Privacy

Your privacy is important to us. Nothing has changed regarding pictures:

• You can delete any uploaded pictures from MeetFighters, and they will also be removed from the chat.
  • Applies to pictures uploaded through your MeetFighters Picture Manager.
  • Pictures shared outside the Picture Manager or via external links will remain, as they are hosted outside our platform.

Privacy Tip

For better control over your pictures:

• We highly recommend using the MeetFighters Picture Manager.
  • Your pictures are protected from being copied or pasted.
  • Deleting pictures via the Picture Manager removes them from all attached emails and chat messages.
  • Pictures will be automatically deleted if you decide to leave MeetFighters.

This update is effective immediately. Please note that previously deleted chat messages will not be restored. From now on, no further messages will be automatically deleted.

As this was a significant update, we appreciate it if you report any issues you encounter so we can address them promptly.

Best regards,
Admin

Dear All,

You may have noticed that MeetFighters was offline for over 24 hours. To clarify, this was purely a technical issue and a failure of the cooling system at the data center. It was not a data breach; no data was accessed, and the outage affected thousands of servers and websites, not just MeetFighters. For transparency and to clear up any rumors, here’s what we know and what we will do now:

• Outage Timing: Our server went down in the early morning of September 2nd, European time.
• Data Center Issues: Along with our server, many major components of the data center provider's infrastructure also went down, including their ticket system and admin dashboard control systems.
• Cause of the Outage: Shortly after, the data center confirmed a major outage at one of their locations, affecting all servers and customers hosted there. The cause was identified as a significant cooling issue. Again, this was not a data breach, and no data was accessed.
• Data Security: Even when the server is offline, the entire MeetFighters server is fully encrypted, and certain sensitive information within the database is additionally encrypted. This ensures that your data remains secure at all times.
• Domain Forwarding: About two hours after the outage, we forwarded the MeetFighters domain to our ticket site to provide you with updates as best we could. You can still view the history here: https://www.cmwf-services.com/meetfighters-outage.
  • Transparency Note: "CMWF Services" is not the data center provider. It is our company that runs MeetFighters and handles invoices (if you contribute to us). It is 100% owned by me, and CMWF stands for Chat-Meet-Watch-Fighters. You may have seen this in our site footers and TAX invoices over the years.
• Alternative Chat Provided: On the news ticket page, we offered an alternative chat on our new site, MeetKink.com. As most of you know, MeetKink is our latest website, introduced earlier this year.
  • Clarification: We did not take MeetFighters offline to promote MeetKink. However, we did use MeetKink's chat to provide a place for you to connect while the situation with the MeetFighters server was still unclear. We also used this chat to provide additional information and to answer your questions.
• Backup Preparations: We began preparing for the worst-case scenario of restoring MeetFighters from our offsite backups—fortunately, this wasn’t necessary.
• Future Resilience: To improve our resilience in the future, we will evaluate the additional costs of implementing an automatic or at least manual failover in another data center, ready to take over if something like this happens again.
• Future Plans: The data center still has ongoing issues, and we are unsure if the cooling system has been fully fixed. Unfortunately, the poor communication and the fact that a data center was offline for over 24 hours have resulted in a massive loss of trust. Therefore, we will be moving MeetFighters to one of our other data center operations, which already host our other websites. This transition will take place over the coming weeks and will result in a very short downtime, which we will announce in advance.

We deeply apologize to everyone who had planned a match yesterday and struggled to communicate. A full day outage is extremely rare and has never happened in the history of MeetFighters. We understand how frustrating this was and are committed to preventing such issues in the future.

Best Regards,
Admin

Dear All,

We officially launch HardcoreFighters (in beta) this weekend. This new platform is designed specifically for creators who push the boundaries of hardcore gay sex and fighting content. If your work is too intense for platforms like Gumroad, OnlyFans, or even WatchFighters.com, then HardcoreFighters is your new home.

Why HardcoreFighters.com?

At HardcoreFighters, we believe in absolute creative freedom. We’ve heard and with WatchFighters.com first hand experienced frustrations about the restrictive rules that credit card companies enforce, which often lead to the rejection of your content. These rules are not just our challenge; they affect all platforms that accept credit card payments in the adult industry. To liberate content creators from these constraints, we are going all-in with cryptocurrency payments. This means no more compliance headaches with Mastercard and Visa—just pure, unfiltered content as you intended it.

What Can You Expect?

On HardcoreFighters, you can upload and share content that features brutal torture, including staged snuff, hardcore sex scenes, extreme violence, and all the "sex, drugs, alcohol, and rock 'n' roll" your fans crave. While we remain absolutely compliant with the law (no child pornography, no real rape, no copyright violations), we are not bound by the restrictive rules of traditional payment processors.

Can I upload illegal content?

No. To be absolutely clear, the new site does not permit unlawful content. It simply removes arbitrary and pointless rules imposed by corporations outside our niche, targeting non-mainstream adult content.

Fighting Only Content?

Not at all. While 'fighters' is in the name, HardcoreFighters is not limited to fighting content. We've expanded our platform to accommodate a diverse range of adult content that goes beyond just fighting. Whether you're into hardcore wrestling, intense BDSM scenes, or any other form of extreme adult entertainment, HardcoreFighters.com has a category for you.
Explore our new categories and unleash your creativity. We've made sure to cover a wide spectrum of interests to ensure that no matter your niche, you have a place to showcase your work. From brutal torture scenes to steamy sex fights, from hardcore role-play to edgy fetish content—it's all welcome here.

Is this serious?

Absolutely! This will be a longer section to provide what we believe is some important background and context.

While we strongly believe in structured governments and the legal system, which form the foundation of democracy, we have observed increasing restrictions on LGBTQ (gay), sexual, and free content over the past years. We can't entirely blame these large corporations; they aim to appeal to a global audience of 8 billion people. However, our niche of wrestling and fighting is inherently linked to the major category of "violence," and sex and violence are becoming increasingly challenging topics.

For example, if Superman is restrained with kryptonite and chained down, the narrative may follow a consensual fantasy storyline rather than actual violence. This is fantasy, however, in the adult industry, distinguishing between fantasy and reality is not always possible. As soon as an erotic component is added, the compliance framework changes drastically. Arguing that Superman does not exist and this is fantasy is not feasible within these strict compliance frameworks.

Similarly, on daytime TV, an MMA fight can get bloody. However, in an erotic context, the same level of fight is simply not accepted by these corporations. This double standard places significant limitations on adult content creators, particularly those exploring niche interests where fantasy and reality often blur.

We believe in providing a platform where adult creators can explore their creativity within legal and consensual boundaries without these arbitrary restrictions. HardcoreFighters.com aims to offer this freedom, allowing you to push the boundaries of your content and share your unique vision with an audience that appreciates and understands it. Join us in creating a space where your creativity is not just allowed but celebrated, free from the undue constraints imposed by mainstream credit card companies.

Get Ready to Push the Boundaries!

We are happy to be in a unique position to provide a platform that truly embraces your hardcore creativity without limits. Join us now on HardcoreFighters and take your content to the next level.

We understand that this is not everyone's cup of tea, but the great thing about the internet is that you can choose to ignore and not click on links.

If you are a creator with rejected works from other sites, or if you use risky workarounds to keep your work online, bring your content over to HardcoreFighters. Or, if you know other content creators who might fit in here, let them know about https://www.hardcorefighters.com.

Best regards,

[2024-07-09] Chat update: Light Mode, Enhanced Text Sizes, and New Themes

We do read your constructive feedback! Based on your suggestions, we've made some updates:

• Enhanced Text Sizes: Choose freely from sizes 9px to 40px; doubling the max size.
• New Light Mode: Enjoy a bright, clean look with our new Light Mode in the chat.
• Additional Themes: Explore more than a dozen fresh themes in both Light and Dark Modes.
• Bug Fix: The mute button in room works again as intended.

All of these updates are found in the settings section (cog icon) and are saved automatically once you leave the settings panel.

We're glad, and we know based on internal statistics and usage data, that most of you appreciate the need for change in the fast-paced world of internet technology.
We also understand that change can be challenging for some. With over 20,000 members, we know we can't please everyone. That's why we planned customization options from the beginning in this new chat to offer features like themes, font sizes, and panel sizes, which were not available in the old chat. Hence, we also created the visual tutorial video to make the change to the new chat easier and highlight the customization options.

Enjoy the new customization options, and keep the feedback coming!
