My Review
I joined the fubar just over a month ago for the purposes of writing a review of the site here; in my review you will find things I liked about the site and things I didn't.
I am not sure if Fubar classes itself as a dating site or a social network site or both but if you want to meet a new love, or just looking for friends, fubar caters for everyone, it is easy to join and uploading pictures or images is very easy.
What I like about fubar
You start to earn points quite quickly and before long you move up in rankings, in one month I have reached level 8.
The quickest and best way to move up the rankings is to spend a lot of time on the site rating other users pictures and profiles, adding yourself as a fan and asking if you can become a friend, soon though you will have more friend requests than you send out.
A lot of people will invite you to their fubar lounges where you can chat with other fu members. You also get invites to play fubar games that are fun, and you get the chance to chat one on one.
There is a lot more to fubar than first meets the eye.
One of the best features of fubar is that you only need to share your pictures with whom you choose to apart from your main profile pic.
What I don't like about Fubar
There are only a couple of things about fubar that annoy me, although you can put filters in your profile to prevent them, there is an amazing amount of pornographic pictures in some peoples accounts.
Some comments and email you receive don't leave much to the imagination.
My experience with Fubar
I have been Honest and upfront in my profile, my profile picture is the same one that I have here on hubpages. I have stated that I am married and that I am looking for friends not a relationship or a fling.
When I first joined fubar, I started making new friends quickly people who rated my profile and pictures because I rated theirs.
I have had a couple of people who have down rated my profile but that is nothing to worry about. All went well for a few days before I received my first of many emails offering sexual favours mostly from women but a couple from men too, threesomes with me and my wife were on offer from people of all ages. Maybe if I were into that kind of thing I would have been in heaven lol.
But no thank you your mail has been deleted and forgotten about.
P.s I don't want to be your master and I don't want you to dominate me either lol.
Fubar can be fun and give your ego a must needed boost, but there are people on the site who reek of desperation, read their profiles please rate me, please show me love, please rate my pics I don't know if they are desperate to be loved or if they just want to move up another rank.
I have had fun, I have had a laugh and I have enjoyed most of my fubar experience.
Overall
Fubar is fun, I have met some really nice people on the site and have enjoyed it, beware of the swingers and the perverts but the same can be said of any dating or social network site, use it for your needs whether you want to make new friends or find love, whatever your reasons for joining just have fun.

The place looks like a scam, and not really interesting. The tagline is "The internet's best kept secret", makes me think that there's no one's in there but fake women trying to whore around for money. Just looks and sounds trashy.
Ember on August 07, 2018:
I have a question do you have to sign up or does automatically put you in or you have to sign up to be in it right and to get a Fubar ID number correct I'm asking for a personal reason my husband said he doesn't know what I'm talking about and I found it in his Chrome I think he's a liar
fiestybabe69 on October 27, 2015:
I have an account that has been blocked by fubar spam filter so i can't sign into it to get it deleted. I have asked that it be deleted but so far it's still there. Sexy Lady 11172052 Can i please get some help i dn't want to be in trouble for this. I have met some amazing people on there Thank you

Jimmy you got it all wrong and are so misleading to these people. Fubar is a scam geared to milk you dry with crtual junk and making thousands bankrupt and ruining families. If you had any since you'd give this socal site a thumbs down. In the 3 months I've been on Fubar, I've only met woman wanting money, beggers and cheaters. waisted thousands to level and nothing to show for it.
Jessica on October 08, 2014:
Hi I've got a question about this page. If you haven't been on in a few year/months. Will you all of a sudden just start receiving mail/drinks from different people? Or will the mail stop?
Hotwheelz on June 06, 2014:
I've been on and off since even before it was cherry tap. Love it! Still friends with some of the people I met there when I was in college...
Clay on October 09, 2013:
I think it's stupid. You have to do all this weird stuff to get points so that you're a valued part of a web site? Why not just go onto a site where people want to hang out? They're there. You're there. You chat for a couple of days and meet in person. Seems more normal than getting into a two month frickis about trying to get a bunch of points so you can be "accepted". No thanks.

Phunomenon on April 01, 2013:
I recently had a problem with fubar.com . It seems like they always kowtow to the weak minded people, or the ones that tend to spill a substantial amount of their income for blings, happy hours, and whatnot.
Just the other day I got into an argument with one of these people in a mumm. I stayed within their lines of TOS, there was someone else even arguing with her in the same mumm that was more vulgar than I was. It seems to be this certain member was logging on a different account that they made (which is a nono according to their rules). I decided to send a message to support stating what I had witnessed and linked both accounts in question. I had done this yesterday. I had been logged on all day today, and with no incident. I checked in later in the day, and noticed my account was deleted without any rhyme or reason. They have a history of favoring individuals who do spend money on their wares (Perhaps part of business practice for customer retention?), but I feel also hurts them at the end of the day to draw more paying customers, which I wasn't. Now that I experienced this, I will not come back to that cesspool of social networking.
The members overall reek of desperation to get attention. The only type of person that I can see who would actually enjoy this site are people who have Histrionic Personality Disorder. If anyone is contemplating joining this website, I suggest you steer clear, and steer clear quickly. There are plenty of other social networking alternatives in which you will get treated better, and don't require you not to spend a crapton of money to feel like a human being.

JOHNPLANEDUDE on January 12, 2013:
I have been a member for about 6 months. i had made a status comment that it was unlimited 11's for rates, and ask members to come and rate some of my pics and humor..I needed 8 million to level..and each rate was worth 350 + points. The previous day I actually netted almost a million points. sSo i posted a note to a friend to ask her to maybe steer some people my way for rates.Then i decided to add about 8 or 10 new pics..{mostly humor]. Almost imeadatly I was asked to relogin, to which Irealized that I couldn't. In conversation with my aformentioned friend, she stated that fubar said i should contact fubar support. I did in a relitively polite manner, asking why I was being blocked from my page. Iwas supposed to get a response in 72 hours...not!!!After 5 days I sent another email to support, and this time I told them that was not a happy camper....As a side note I doubt I will get a response. I also think these people are pretentious idiots. i will speak my mind and appreciate it when a company treats me like I'm am important. Curiously in all the posts above nobody has mentioned or brought the "BABY JESUS" PERSONAGE. I am not a religeous zealot...but for one to call them self "BABY JESUS" seems at the very least pretentious. If you knew me you weould know that I speak my mind when I see bullsh*t like this. So I asked in my second email to fubar support if this was really a real company or just a hobby..I also suggested that they be more proffesional in their response to support issues....then I addressed the "BABY JESUS" ISSUE. I asked why he hadn't called himself BABY ALLAH...and sugesstred he didn't because maybe he afaid that "THEY" might send a jumbo jet and try to fly it up his ASS....so no I don't expect a response from support...and yes my old page is still there but I can't access it, I'm still getting comments on it though. What do I think about fubar...well I've always believed a well run business can and will flourish. One such business is REDBOX...a company that rents movie dvd's out of vending machines..in the Phoenix Az area...inless than 6 months they rented 65 million dvd's...any time iIhad a problem...no problem . So is FUBAR FUSHIT....PROBABLY!!!....JOHNPLANEDUDE...COME TO MY PG ON FUBAR AND LEAVE ME A COMMENT.....JOHN
rusty1325 on June 23, 2012:
fubar is a joke the site is full of cyber prostitutes and perverted men.i used to like there mafia game and that was the only reason i went on the site but now people are creating fake accounts and fubar does nothing about it they allow the cheating coz it inflates there membership numbers.
Just Me on January 27, 2012:
I've been using fubar since it was called Cherry Tap. It used to be really fun but now that make it so hard to level unless you spend money. One of the admins who goes by the name Scrapper wrote a blog about how nobody spends money to level. He said it was a "myth." Someone called him out and explained that you in fact need to buy bling, which costs credits, which you pay for with real money. Of course Scrapper had no response to that. One thing that is really irritating about fubar is how you'll see people who've been on there for years and they are maybe in the mid-20's as fae as level goes. But you get peopple who've been on there for one month who are already at level 50 (52 is currently the highest level). Either those people are really fubar employees or something really shadey is going on
Me69 on December 16, 2011:
I myself joined over 4 yrs ago when the site was fun and the highest level you could reach was 25,HH were $100.00's and they didn't have the "BLING SHOP". I have recently deleted my page in october then started my page 7times. Yes,7 times.Crazy I know. The drama,liars,users,womanizers and fakes are out of control.I deleted because of the drama and because of a man who uses single moms with little or no income for his sick games.He gets into their heads and makes them feel bad for him then he uses them to send him money.He himself has no income. I know for a fact he doesnt.I met the guy and know his history. I was 1 of those women who was victimized by this man.There are a lot of nice men and women on fubar if you can get threw all the others that ruin the fun for others. It is a glorified porn site not a social site. It allows prostitution,child molesters,etc. The people who run fubar are making bank and dont care about the people on the site unless you spend thousands and thousands of dollars a month on there.I myself have spent a total of maybe $150.00 on the site in the 4 yrs i was a member just so i could advance a little bit faster. It took me 4 and a half yrs to get to level 36 only because of the requirements you to achieve to level. I would not advise or recommend fubar to anyone for many reasons. I mean if people like the abuse from others and stoop to such levels to be popular or seek attention then by all means that would be the site for them. If I want to see nude photos or cams then I will go to a porn site. fubar is more like FU-DRAMA-BAR
michael gray on December 16, 2011:
i joined fubar a few months ago, i payed for premuin service, i stopped the premium service a month ago i deleeted my account yesterday AND TODAY THEY CHARGE ME FOR PREMIUM SERVICES AGAIN,i am contacting the district attorney and filing a complaint and charges because they refuse to deal with meto resolve this matter
Moan Liisa on November 21, 2011:
I've been a member of Fubar since 2006 and I would advice people to stay away. It's not a social site, it's a business and it's run like a facist regime. They are cheating on everything, the number of members etc. Lots of the accounts on there are fake accounts created by themselves. Their business practise is so crooked that you should NEVER give them your credit card info. The 2 guys who run the site, Mike and Ryan (they don't own it though. Social Concepts inc. does), are totally low class men who behave like childish 13 yrs old.
Fubar can be fun if you are lucky to meet the right people on there, so if you like, try it out, BUT DO NOT SPEND ANY REAL MONEY ON THERE!
Manda on November 18, 2011:
First off bouncers are volunteers they r not paid. Second it is a game u like many other sites can play free or psu for added features. I have been a member for four years and I very rarely spend money I am a level 44 and enjoy the site a lot. I hhave made a lot of friends and also play mafia. The site isn't perfect but it is what u mske of it.
Tony on November 18, 2011:
I was on fubar until I told them I did not like any of the music in the band contest so they deleted my account. not very cool at all but it's a site about making money only.
graham212 on October 27, 2011:
i just joined this site and i think is the best site leading........lol
Basic on September 26, 2011:
Another victim of unwarranted deletion. Yes I too seem to have had my account deleted with out a warning or notice as to why it was deleted. I have emailed their support address to inquire as to why the account was suddenly deleted and have yet to receive a reply and from what I have read on other complaint sites, I doubt I will ever hear back from them.
Seems the only time they respond to email complaints is when they try to rip people off that have spent money to purchase VIP membership, Happy Hour spots or Bling credits that were not received. Sure they will go through the motions to resolve the issue then after the funds clear and can't be stopped or reversed, they delete the members account and ignore any further inquiries from that member.
Anyway, as for my account being deleted, since I have not heard anything back from fubar support, I can only speculate that my account was trashed due to me stating my opinion towards their newest sham addition and exercising my freedom of speech.
They recently added a page for swimsuit contest which I noticed consisted of all new accounts(less than 3 days old), none of which had verified salute pictures, and a few that were not even swimsuit photos. Many of the photos in the contest look like they were swiped from professional models portfolio. Just out of curiosity, I decided to check the link to see how fubar members could enter the contest only to be redirected to a site totally unrelated to fubar with nothing to do with fubar swimsuit contest on the page I was sent to. Now according to the contest the winner is to receive all sorts of prizes but with what seemed to be mostly fake contestants, I was interested in knowing who the contest was really rigged for. I am also curious to know how much money fubar is getting for sending people to the other site through their bait and switch site redirect.
So I posted a comment on the contest page, posted a reply comment on a friends status message on their profile page, posted my opinion on my profile status and replied to another friends comment reply to my status. Then after a few minutes of chat with the latter mentioned friend, I am suddenly booted out of fubar and not able to log back in. So the conclusion is you can't exercise your freedom of speech on fubar which last time I checked the server IP is still an American based web site. Had my comments been a violation of the sites TOS or rules it would have been easy for them to delete my post and give me a warning. But since it is obvious that my post was truthful and revealing they felt threatened so much that they needed to delete my account to keep me quiet. Unfortunately for them they are limited to what I could say on their site but I am still free to voice my opinion pretty much anywhere else on the WWW that I can find.
Now I have been a member for over 2 years with a few months leave time after witnessing lots of drama in the lounge where I met many friends that initially got me hooked on the site. I returned last August and made many more new friends. I also noticed many changes since my leaving that made the site more enjoyable for a while. In November of 2010 they moved the site to a new server which seemed to create more problems and bugs in the system and many of the site features stopped working properly or at all.
When going to the support lounge to inquire about the buggy feature, they could only respond with a pre-programmed cookie cutter reply that “they were working on the problem” or they were totally unhelpful. Most of the time the staff in the support lounge were oblivious to the problems. Apparently on top of the inept staff in the support lounge, there is no clear line of communication between the lounge staff and programmer/coders or the owners of the site. I have also sent numerous message to the owner (baby jesus), to inform him about bugs or asking when certain things will be fixed. However, I guess since I am not some slutty chick with lots of nude photos, I don't qualify for him to be bothered with a reply to my inquiry. Anyway, here it is nearly a year later, the same problems still exist and they would rather spend more time adding new features and layouts than fix the problems created during the move.
If you can manage to get past the unethical and unprofessional business practices, fubar can be a fun place to meet new ppl from all over the world. If you have any dignity or modesty I suggest you not spend any real money on the site that you are not willing to lose in the event they decide to delete your account for some silly reason or no reason at all. Don’t expect the owner or staff to act in a professional business manner if you need to get in touch with them for any legitimate reason. If you have to deal with staff member “Scrapper” expected to be treated with total disrespect. Of course with a screen name like “Scrapper” you shouldn’t expect anything less than a fight with him.
You can expect double standards to the rules listed in the fubar bible. You will see many members violating the rules and if you are not one of the inner circle members that spends loads of money or posts lots of explicit photos, you best not break any rule at all. Even then there is no guarantee some jealous twit wont get you kicked out because you happen to be getting more attention than they are or you happen to post a comment on someone’s profile they happen to be in love with. If you want to play their popularity game you can expect that you or someone else will have to spend real money in order for you to advance in levels. If you don’t spend the money to level you will be constantly bombarded with annoying messages from the fubar support bot program telling you to see what you need to do to level once your points reach the number needed to advance while the other requirements have not been met.
Also be wary of the bloated numbers fubar advertises as active members. Until recently they were posting the most recent account ID number as the number for total members but after people got wind of the deception they removed that from the status. Now they constantly claim to have over 36,000 active and online members while the front page show the real number of recent logins, which are typically less than 600. My guess is most of the “so called” active member stats are from the staff members logging into accounts that have been inactive for over a year.Then there is the possibility they have so many bot programs running fake accounts which would also account for the lag we experience on what should be a pretty fast server.
So bottom line, if you want to meet some nice people, can stand to be objectified as a woman or ignored as a man, can avoid conflict with staff and/or inner circle friends of fubar (adding bouncers to your friends list doesn’t get you in the inner circle or protect you the rath), love drama or can at least tolerate it and don’t mind being strong armed or ignored in lounges, you might find fubar to be just the place for you. Just proceed with caution and avoid spending money you aren’t willing to throw away. Eventually you will get screwed.

i joined Fubar. but then after i logged out. it couldn't sign in anymore and i can no longer access my account. very annoying.
trish on September 13, 2011:
fubar is a game ... get out of it what you put into it. it is a social networking site too but is often confused with the game. relationships build here but honesty is the best way in any kind of situation like this to start out and no one will end up hurt. fu is fu and real is real...mix them and just be careful what you are doing.

STAY AWAY FROM FUBAR!!!!! Was member for several years there spent tons of money! even got my g/f and parents to join hell all my family members.Woke up one day bam account deleted by fubar asked why...becuz WE CAN!!!! But feel free to create a new account?! I did and started complaing in blogs and such a few days later deleted my entire family profiles that did nothing....my g/f was top member 30 all time on fubar gone click of a mouse.STAY AWAY......
Bella on March 14, 2011:
I see that some of you love fubar and some of you don't, I am one who doesn't care for it anymore. I have been a member since September of 2010 and I've encountered pretty much nothing but a hard time there other than the VERY FEW friends I made. One bad thing about this place is if you want to move up in rank (level up) you HAVE to spend money on ridiculous blings like Godmodes which are 100 credits (that's $80 for just one) and give and get a certain amount of bling for achievement points which you also need to level. Oh and if you're looking for help don't ask the owners or bouncers because they don't give a crap as long as they're getting paid. You truly do have to pay to play there, and believe me it isn't cheap. The arrogant jackasses who own and operate fubar are little more than greedy (very) small business minions out to take you for everything you got, then censor you or block you if you try to speak up. My review is a big thumbs down and I'm actually a member there (but not for much longer as my vip expires in a few days), and if you are looking for a place to make REAL friends, look elsewhere because this isn't the one.

JL Williams on January 05, 2011:
I have been a devout member of fubar.com for 4.5 yrs. As with any social networking site, you see the good, the bad and the ugly. Probably Fubar's greatest feature is personal admin, by which I mean not an acct you email, but real live supportive people who do truly care about you, so long as you approach them in a congenial manner. The site is full of lively, vibrant people who really just love to have fun. It's a place with it's own built in game and there's always something to do to interact with others. Unlike other sites, you are never stuck waiting for someone to respond. 5 yrs this July and going strong, I would recommend this site to people of all ages and tastes.
BAM on November 12, 2010:
Another FuBar victim!!! ….Here is a site that's asked me to invite my friends and so I invited my co-workers, then we all get deleted with no reason / no warning
…, mind you ,I’m an artist and have done tons of art work for FuMembers and it all gets flushed away (just not fair) …….so I would still like to know why was I deleted and why wasn't I warned and why didn't I get a chance to save my art ?.........something fishy about fubar!!!
SHERI on October 14, 2010:
I think fubar is facebook plus myspace on crack! It goes so fast! Within the first 10mins of signing up i received 20+ friend requests, 6 photo comments, 13 drink things...I like it because facebook can be boring seeing the status of all the games that i don't play, and the famous what im doing "right nows" If you like a lot of things going on at once...this is site for you!
RevFTW on October 11, 2010:
Fubar is like high school or a college sororiety/fratnerity on steroids. For one year, one "friend" bugged me about joining the site and signing up for an account. Of course, I obliged. It's amazing how you think you know a person/friend, and then realize how utterly idiotic they become after signing up for this site. Who knew having belonging to a "fam", having a four-letter word stuck anywhere on your log-on name would make someone such a badass? Well, seriously. It's either laughable or totally sad. But the Internet is what you make of it. If you can get over the animated morphed avatars, the senseless desperation of people wanting points and "bling", it's like any other social networking site: You get the lascivious conversations...and on a few rare occasions, you get people who actually have a gray/grey matter in their craniums, and they type/talk about something more than sex. Normally, those intelligent folks hang out on the MuMM pages for a good laugh. That's my two cents. Peace!
Flip on September 29, 2010:
I have been on Fubar for 2 years on and off... Here is what I have gathered from the site... Ignore the perverts and block them first thing! Just like on any other social networking site they use the site as a tool for their sick little game! Only there they have a little more slack to get away with it because the bouncers and owners feel if they are annoying you there is the block button and that is true! After you get that out of the way you are off to the races! Women have better luck going through the ranks as men spoil the life out of them but hey that's real life too. Everyone is MADE to produce a Salute to show you are real this is a great feature and for the people that try to photo shop a fake picture try it It will still be rejected because it is gone over by a photo shop expert that also uses the site. The site is sort of slow right at first post your Salute and it will pick up. I have been to level 25 a total of 4 times now. The more you put yourself out there as in going into lounges and getting to know people the faster you will level. This site does have its down sides, but the simple fact is so does every site. Myspace----High school kids Facebook----Family based Fubar----Adult Based They have connected the site to facebook now so they are trying to tone down the skin showing on main pictures but it is member ran so if you think it shows to much mark it and it will be taken down. the site will only be as clean as the members want it to be. Thanks and Anyone feel free to add me... If you have a salute that is lol anyone can send me a message though if you find me here just give me a shout and I will hook you up with some tricks and tips
Mario Silva on July 18, 2010:
iv'e been on Fubar for about two years now but yesterday i deleted my account but now iv'e decided to join fubar but it won't let me join can anybody help me thanks.
TooSweet on June 30, 2010:
I'd like to say that your article was fair and objective in terms of the functionality and tools this site provides. I've been a fubar member for 3 years now and watched it as it changed from Cherry Tap to Lost Cherry. In the early days there's was way worse explicit content than what it has now. It's little to none although it's allowed since it's an adult oriented site. Key word adult here.. As with any site it's buyer beware in terms of some of the complaints here and on other various reviews, I've personally never had any harsh comments or favors asked of me on this site.
You simply ignore and block those users.. Duh right? Fubar is no different than any other main stream social network site. They appeal to a certain nitch audience and they in turn recruit their friends and others to join the site. It's survived on word of mouth, the site layout continues to evolve as they just updated the three layout choices this month.
Every site has it's ups and downs. Every site has questionable content. It's a matter of what you as a user choose to do with it. Take your time, explore the site, explore the features. Yeah the site is getting more complex and trying to add/experiment with various settings, etc. That's why I'm drawn to it. They continue to make improvements, they do what they can to ensure member safety. I ran into one snag in my account but it was a misunderstanding which was cleared up within a week.
I never lost my account nor did I experience any backlash. They have spam counter tactics with a CAPTCHA code system now which is frustrating when you're leveling your buddies out but it keeps the assholes off the site who truly spam and create garbage on the site.. I've made great friends off and on the site in my local area.
Point case of this ramble: Common Sense...

since my friends last post here she has rejoined because the nicer members missed her as she has a sense of humor! and basically the only way as said by many here is not to purchase even my friends bank had a hard time with fubar as the phone # a year ago was just a phony # where you leave a message and no one replies, and bank made fubar replace the funds as her account was deleted by them and even though she put a stop to vip, baby j still withdrew the vip cost(14.95 anyway! that takes gaul!) the month after her account was deleted! if that's not greed i don't know what is and what can the better business bureau do to fubar administration to make them fly straight and stop playing games with people's hard earned money!since then i understand that fubar has had exposure with howard stern i don't know if that is anything to jump up and down about but we all know how howard stern can be i myself am not a fan, and i hear complaints from members of ordering shirts etc and not receiving merchandise i believe it is time for the better business bureau to look into all matters and demand that fubar owner not IP baby j devulge his financial books etc and look for any suspicious activity!...and who really owns fubar baby j or someone else that leaves much speculation i believe baby j is a slightly inexperienced IT and flunky who is left in charge while the owner collects and reaps the benefits in terms of money...i also have seen many changes he has added ranks making it harder to achieve next level. also added something called requirements which is the most childish thing i have ever heard of..meaning if you are at level 24 for example you have to get 3 buzzkills from a demon, 5 pimpin gifts and other reqirements before he permits you to level to next level! (remember this is the perogative of the members as to whether they want to help the member or not suggesting that the member even if they are already paying 14.95 for membership should beg?! to make someone join that is again pyramid )then level 25 requirement you must get at least one member to join, some people simply do not have friends that go for that kind of online hobby (as i disagree that it is a social site it is getting less and less friendly as time goes by its simply about ranks,,if you aren't a hotty or in hottness baby j does not respond as i've learned he does respond to some! (baby j has a new section click on settings and check off newness and you will see newbees,hotness,and people online..probably the only thing that does help a member with points) fubar in fact has had more tech problems since the site is crammed with a lot of junk...bullitins, a scrolling pimping out etc etc etc...i would like someone to investigate as to whether it is legal to force someone to have or intimidate a member into getting someone to join if they are already a paying vip or not because if you don't and u are a paying vip member and have reached the points but still cant get anyone to join what then? i would appreciate any feed back from anyone that reads the hub. and has any legal insight as to what to do (another words anyone here on the hub that has legal expertise,if u are a paying member can me make a member make someone else join and if not stay at the same level or is that an unlawful pyramid scheme? would like a reply soon and suggestion as to how to have a friend handle it if there should be a problem that arises! ty)other than deleting account which by the way he leaves deleted accounts up anyway(and folks are rating these dead profiles!! buying blings for someone who is no longer a member since he deleted without proper notice or legitmate reason!) and whether he is reaping the benefits or not is unbeknown but i suspect that somehow fubar is getting something out of it the only change is he lowered the happy hour to 50 dollars i believe unless he raised it ... gee did the economy going down the tanker give fubar a wake up call? as it is usually the same folks doing happy hour and auto 11s 35$ or so and blings prices vary depending on what gift you buy and other things are bought thru fubucks which can empty your fubucks leaving you to start all over again..greatful.....friend of a x member of fubar!!
