    Backpage closed by FBI

    just noticed this morning backpage (and possibly cracker as it's not working either) have been seized / shutdown by FBI.

    Likewise. Wondering where all the ads will migrate to. Had a quick look around but doesn't seem to be a local alternative that I can find.

    had some american mates telling me about this earlier today, didnt realise it took down the aussie sites as well.

    Cracker still running? I've never taken the plunge on a backpage ad, I was about to with one girl recommended by another member on here but we had some compatibility issues :/

    Shame. And it is a lot more than just sex ads.

    He got caught out, so doesn't want to use it any more?

    it was particular good at showing new ML's.

    Locanto probably now, already heard craigslist has started closing their personals section, thought it started last year though

    They close down a website but can't stop people shooting up their schools.

    I would have to be in a desert and dry and bleeding and in a gutter before I wasted my time on Cracker or whatever the other dodgy sites are named this month.
    There will always be dodgy sites and fake ads because human evolution never progressed out of many humans believing everything they see and hear and read

    haha theres a lot of dodgy ads on backpage but if you look hard enough (especially in the US), you'll find some gems. It will be interesting to see where these ads will pop back up?
