Abuse

Appalling site. Full of bullying and abuse. Many underage members. Political abuse and threats encouraged by admin and mods if you don't agree with their views

Dreadful website hosted in the UK so you are not afforded the same level of privacy as a USA site like Grindr, the hosting is not secure and this leaves you very exposed.
I would strongly recommend anyone to avoid this platform, although I think they are closing soon anyway

Would say more fat and old lads then fitlads.
Some nasty ones, some nice.
Overall 10 out of 100.
Better to be premium then not but still not great.
But it is an old site that hasn't changed much over the last 3 years.

Good for them to keep it going this long 👍

This is not the rehearsal.

If you've ever read, enjoyed or been disgusted by a Viz comic then you would be close to understanding the humour of Fitlads.net. I should point out that I am SIMPLY THERE FOR THE FORUMS.
On first glance the forum comments may seem obtuse, heck - even obscene or disrespectful but stick with the threads, be careful not to unravel and soon you will be in stitches!
Observe the characters as you would in any other soap opera, be it The Archers, Eastenders or Holly Oaks ( in Jaedon's case) . Because that is all the members are, characters in a comic play and are not intended to be taken seriously.

great website

so many trolls who were booted off the site posting so many bad reviews

the site has a fair greater sense of community than every other gay social network site

the new version of the site is far better than the old one

strangely most of the reviewers who are leaving the one star comments are the ones who are always trying to rejoin

Fitlads is Dead

A once booming site reduced to rubble by a botched makeover which nobody wanted and took years to complete. Plus a paranoid Admin team who are only interested in their old cronies. The site is now only worth £100: the value of the shares that its owners currently have. A look over all the failed/dissolved businesses that Joe McDougall has had on Companies House should immediately tell you that the guy is not fit to run a business venture . either that or he's hiding from the taxman. I'll let you decide which. Fitlads is Dead. Go back to your classic car collection and give us all a clean break.

Seen it's day

I am amazed this site is still going but I visited it the other day and it's so outdated words can't be found, and it still uses website frames? Omg. I think the admin getting involved in the forums where lots of fighting and race wars ect used to happen caused the disaster. The admin had a god complex on the forums and banned anyone that did not adhere to there ways. I mean who actually uses outdated websites anymore with the advent smartphone apps? I guess all the activity on that site now if any is the admin and friends

Dull

I was a member (one of the memorable ones) from the start until about 3 years ago, all it is now is a stomping ground for uninformed fuckmonkeys, the light hearted banter has gone, as have most of the members that made it an interesting site. Admin still have a God complex, they've always been an uneducated lot but now it's really just tragic.
Such a shame, this was the best thing going for so long, now it's just, nothing. :(

Not even worth one star

Fitlads.net is a waste of time and money. Accounts are deleted at will by admin if you dare to have any opinion that goes against their mood of the day. Just look at this reply from admin :-

You are not "in my country" and you don't have "freedom of speech".

Freedom of speech is a concept regarding speaking freely in public places. Fitlads is not a public place. it is a private business. You are no longer welcome in this private business. You have no right to say what you want in a private space.

Now p##s off to whatever Brexit fantasy land you came from, and take your racist posts with you.

The Brexit remark refers to the fact I am in England and Fitlads.net is in Scotland. I had to sensor their reply.

Nothing short of a train wreck!

Everybody should avoid Fitads at all costs. The administration team are not very helpful at all, the website as a whole is maintained and managed very poorly and everybody on there is full of venom. This site comes across as if it was created by a group of work-shy, hate-filled drunken yobs who had a few drinks too many one night.

I met my boyfriend here.

Admittedly, Richard was once Francesca, but our love is stronger than steal, wider than Andrea's waistline, and as deep as Jordan's snatch.

Only through Fitlads did I finally lose my innocence, and for that, I owe Joe and David and million thankyous.

poor value for money and bad management

the Fitlads site is meant for adults and i thought i was paying for a website that had trained staff - but its very immature ... basically Fitlads is a platform for internet trolls . The website is populated with bullying racist trolls and the admin running the website do very little to monitor that . One of the owners has fetishes that he writes about in detail and he advertises on the website looking for others that share his fetishes . Having paid membership fee - i was not getting much for the money - i did try to report some racism being posted on the website and the admin dismissed my complaint and warned i would be deleted . Other paying members have been deleted by the admin after making complaints - as i said Fitlads is an online platform for internet trolls . Ive have used other websites that were much better than fitlads and decided not to renew my membership or pay anymore money .

Probably the worst managed site in the world

The fact that the value of the site has gone from around 100k to barely enough to buy a McDonalds in 10 years is solely down to the management of the site by its owners and their cronies who treat all users, particularly paying users, with contempt. Anyone who dares to express an opinion different to theirs, who criticises the site in any way or even asks how something works is likely to be deleted in an instant. A perfectly good functioning site which seems to be liked by all the users was replaced, after literally several years of announcements and promises, by a new site which some six months after being thrust upon its users still only half-works and has all the excitement of reading through the phone book. As usual all critics are deleted and the vast majority of regular users seem to have either left or been deleted since the changes were brought in whilst Joe merrily declares at any opportunity "If you don't f***ing like it, go somewhere else". I'd recommend that everyone did just that

Enjoyable to use.

Haven't been a member on there as long as some but so far I am liking it and have met a couple of people who have become friends in the land outside of the internet.
Yes there are a few undesirables, but you get that on every site of this nature, just need to be mature enough to recognise who they are and ignore them by either using the block option or by being a grown up and actually ignoring them.
The UI is easy to use and not cluttered with adverts and click bait links.
The site has been going for quite a few years now and still has a lot of members, with new ones, like me, signing up daily, so it can't be as bad as some people like to make others believe.

fitlads my review after 10 years on

I love fitlads site , it seems that the troll write a bad review after they get deleted for trolling and just seem a little bitter . the owners are approachable and admin are great and really partake in forums . the site have been overhauled recently and its really user friendly , . they have thousands of photos and videos and so different from your bog standard gay hook up sites . I will be here for another ten years ,(if they will have me)
