I was on there last night, around 10 pm, and everything on the website was gone (although the site was still up)…I was upset, I thought maybe it would all still be up before midnight! But no, they wiped it all out early. Now it’s totally gone. I’m gonna miss it so much, SW was like a private sanctuary! But I hope everyone comes and joins this forum so we can all just pick up where we left off :) I was on there as EastCoastDancer01….it’s good to reconnect with all of you!
Spent a long time yesterday saving as many threads as I can in word documents. Didnt get all the ones I wanted but I'm a bit relieved that enough things are archived by others. I'm looking forward to seeing all the discussions this forum will bring!
I'm kind of glad it has that tombstone page rather just a not found message. Although it forever points to the forum no one seemed to want to join lol.
Just went to the old SW site and seen it was gone. let’s take a moment of silence….
I’m grateful for our new home. I remember why I love strippers so much…. they are resourceful AF. stripperresource is a really appropriate website name for our new online community. I’ve seen strippers come up from rock bottom over and over again. We are a resilient people. We really don’t make excuses or let life keep us down. We just keep it pushing.
For real! We are tough as hell. I'm so proud of how we've all handled this and how we're moving forward. Talk about resourceful, strong, and fucking persistent. 💖
The end of an era. RIP, Stripper Web. Thanks for the memories, community and the knowledge. Without you, I wouldn't be the confident, empowered woman I am today. You'll forever be in my heart ❤️ your legacy lives on
Maybe this can be like the new exotic dancer net that was a spin off of stripperweb. I learned so much from there and it had it's benefits of being a more quiet and close knit forum.
This isn't the first time stripper web has had it's issues. ( I am really aging myself here) lol
Perhaps much ado about clouds having a silver lining. Quite a few closets ended up being cleaned out in the final hours of SW, and there were a lot of revelations made during that time which showed some serious cracks in the system.
Yes! My jaw dropped on more than one occasion over the last week. I figured SW had been slightly neglected over the years due to a lack of resources, but I guess it was far more than that. And we still probably only know the half of it
Hey Kimbe! Happy to see you here :) there will never be another Stripper Web but I'm really hoping I can turn this into a safe/supportive/informative community for sex workers
So Daily Pay is apparently offering £200,000 GBP to purchase Stripper Web. Interesting. That's A LOT of money to turn down. Can't help but wonder what's in it for them. Do they *really* care about sex workers enough to spend so much money for the sake of preserving our history and community?
Part of me is happy my past will be erased. I posted a lot of personal info I wouldn't want people to twist my words on, or take out of context-you know how the internet is.
Moving forward, my post may be less personal. I’m cresting a new identity here. I look forward to keeping my post more light and uplifting from now on. I’ll keep my personal information with my therapist.
i am really sad that SW is closing. When someone brought up how SW history has been erased through history, I can’t help to feel a bit of righteous anger that they wouldn’t sell the website to us or someone else, but it is what it is. All we can do is move forward and learn from our mistakes. Our websites should be owned and operated by a current or former SW.
The vibe at Stripper Web right now really does feel like a combo Titanic sinking/Library of Alexandria burning and here we are running out of the building with our ancient stripper scrolls
the shitty mod structure. A couple of them were Not equipped to handle that role and very biased towards their “favorites” who could do no wrong and had uncheckEd power.
Plus I posted way too much and felt like I would either have to hire a cleaner to scrub hella posts I made or be a slave to that forum. I really compromised my privacy there.
i have a feeling the cam models with lean toward the other forum
It looks that way! I'm on the other forum too but not sure how often I will use it. I loved Cutie101's posts. Whenever I'm feeling lazy, I read her posts and her hustle/encouragement always kicks my ass into gear. In a way, I think it could be better to stay off cam forums/groups unless to ask about technical issues. Listening to people bitch about how the site I'm on unfairly prioritizes certain models and how bad/slow it is gives my morale a beating.
At least here, users show up as "unknown member" to anyone viewing the site who isn't logged in, so that's an extra layer of privacy! In addition to members only boards.
I'm saving some entire threads from Stripperweb.com, it seems like the stripper and camgirl advice has been everyone's first port of call so I've got some classics like Overheard in the DR, most annoying customer comments, lol
That's awesome! I loved those threads! They were so fun to read. My MO has been to save all the practical stuff but I know for sure I'd miss the funny threads.

I'm going to miss stripperweb but I do hope this site will be a good alternative..

Stripperweb is not down TODAY but is schedule to close. Mentioning the name a bit will lead others here.
Is it down for good already? Prematurely before Feb 1?
