SpankingNeeds

Any one know what happened to the forum on SpankingNeeds.com? It has been down since December.

I just checked it and the site seems to still be up. The Forums section states it’s under review since December to eliminate spam. They say it’s taking longer than expected. Maybe it’s a manpower issue or maybe they got flagged for something and are being extra careful on review. Other sections seem to be working.

I'm a mod there. Yes, they are still working on recovering/repairing from a spam attack and trying to get the site back up again. Manpower is an issue. But they definitely intend to come back.

I am pleased to hear that. I enjoy visiting that site. They really should try to updated the message. I think most people expect that it isn't coming back by now. Any idea how long it might be?

Well the site does not even respond any more, does that mean they just gave up?

They haven't put out an update in a long time. I expect that if it does come back it won't be anytime soon. It's a shame. I enjoyed the community there. IPunishment is practically in the same situation. The site is broken and they are deciding if they have to close it down or start from scratch. What a shame.

Their domain name is still paid up, so hopefully there's still life. And unfortunately, if/when it comes back I imagine that many of the regulars will be gone. Certainly won't be the same place as it was 10 years ago.

Site not responding as of 10/15. Kaput for good or just glitch??

I am hoping they will get the problems fixed and return. I had been on SpankingNeeds since 2007, longer than any other site and met people from there.

Anyone have any updates about the status of this site? It seems to be completely unreachable now. 😢

They have been promising to get the site back on line for a year until they just pulled the plug. They got buried in a spam attack and the clean up was more than they could handle. I think the site was just a side thing for the owners and reconstructing it was beyond their level of commitment. The same sort of thing is happening for iPunishmnent. A bad update broke the site. The developer wasn't going to fix it for the site owners. They are attempting to redo that site at some point but it is barely functional. We will see what happens with them

@Spank-that-ass, damn that's a shame. It was a really good site. And it's a shame about the other one, I'd never heard of it. Seems like all the good spanking sites always go down eventually.

I'm a mod there (or was anyway). I hear from the site owner sporadically and yes, they do want to bring it back up. But it is indeed a side thing, and it's taken a lot of work and they have lives as well. So fingers crossed is the best we can do right now.

Are there other, similar sites out there that still operate? I vaguely remember spankingneeds. Never heard of ipunishment but that’s an intriguing name.

I wish spankinglife had more content or features. A lot of the blogs I used to know of back in the day no longer exist, or if they do they haven’t had anything new in years. Did we reach peak spanking? 😥

That site SpankingNeeds.com will not load

That site seems to barely work. It didn't really seem to get popular. Now it looks like a lot of the features are broken. Too bad. I think we are now past peak spank into post spank at least as far as these sites are concerned

Hmm, I’ve never had issues with it not working. I was excited for it when it was growing, but they haven’t added any new stories in a very long time.

I guess we should just be thankful that we have spankingtube. But quirky little sites like Art of Self Spanking (they made the ArtDom self-spanking software) that would have little blogposts and have things like punishment slip or punishment journal templates were so cool. A lot of the content is still out there it’s just scattered to the wind and requires a lot of patience to hunt down.
