Swinging Heaven
I got some details emailed to me about Swinging Heaven. One of the things I never really understood was why the suddenly changed from being such a popular community site to being completely money-grabbing.
The answer is that the founder of Swinging Heaven, Mark, sold out to Symbios Solutions Ltd, a ring tone company, who bought the site in November 2005. According to their website they have "an aggressive web real estate programme" which I guess translates to "charge as much as possible on Swinging Heaven". This has resulted in more than half the users leaving the site since the takeover.
The founder of Swinging Heaven along with some of the users who'd been driven away from the site by Symbios then decided to create a new free site called Swingers Cave. When Symbios found out they took legal action to close it down (I'm told by my source).
So if you want to become part of a "competitive product portfolio" I would suggest you join the most expensive "free" swingers site in the UK!

A moving and sexy website
I've decided to go slightly off-topic to tell you about a very special site I came across today. It's not often that a website can be described as "moving" and "sexy" but I think that's best description of VixPix - subtitled "Tits Out For Multiple Sclerosis".
The site has some pics of Vix and links to a MS resource centre if you'd like to donate. There's a very honest and moving account of her illness - Vix herself suffers from MS. I notice that the site hasn't been updated for a while so I do hope that she's okay.
There was article in The Sun about the site which quotes the manager of the MS centre saying "It's important to remember that what Vix has done is far more than just a fundraising exercise. She also challenges people’s preconceived beliefs about MS sufferers".

Problems at Fab Swingers
Fab Swingers has some problems last week, there was basically a huge amount of new people going to the site with traffic doubling over two weeks! Unfortunately the server that the site was on didn't really cope and at peak times the site was unusably slow. The site has now been shifted over to a much more powerful server and it working fine now.
The new server was quite expensive but the site is still completely free. The advertisers pay more when there is more traffic so the sudden rush in new users has generated more cash which has covered the cost of the new server.

Department for Education and Skills includes swinging in the curriculum
It's good to see that the UK government's Department for Education and Skills is broadening the curriculum, as this page about swinging from their website shows!
I've included a screenshot below for when they take it down.
I guess this has been put up by someone spamming the forums for the sake of getting a link from a .gov.uk website which will carry a lot of pagerank benefit - unless the government really has become a lot more liberal!
