As the title states, post all of your questions and comments regarding the shutdown here. Please keep it on-topic and civil. I know that there are bound to be those upset by the decision, but let us remember that FP has always been a mature community that can handle bad news with the good.

Members,


It is with great sadness and no small amount and disappointment that we are announcing that Futanari Palace will be closing down. The final day of operation for Futanari Palace will be 1 October 2027. To that end, this announcement will outline the sunsetting process for the forum.


The first part of the process is this announcement and the opportunity for members to archive stories, images, links, roleplaying logs, and other materiel on the forum. Members may do this on their own up until the final day of operation. Q and Swammy are considering means of archiving forum material. They will announce these options once they have been settled. In the meantime, I strongly suggest all members that wish to archive anything on the forum do so on their own. The second part of the process is the progressive shutdown of the forum. New registrations will be disabled next spring. The final month of the forum will have multiple announcements to inform members of the shutdown as a last call prior to the loss of data that will occur after the forum is deleted. Any archiving solutions decided upon by Q and Swammy that were not announced prior will be announced at that time. Finally, the forum will be deleted after the final shutdown date to comply with EU privacy laws.


Please note: No offers to purchase, take over or otherwise maintain Futanari Palace will be considered. Any and all said offers will be rejected without consideration or discussion.


Benchmark dates:


No date: Announcements from Q and Swammy regarding any archival methods.


1 April 2027 – New member registration will be disabled.


1 September 2027 – Final announcements and outline of shutdown process. Shutdown and depreciation of Patreon account will take place during this time. Direct all Patreon questions to Swammy.


1 October 2027 – Forum Shutdown and preparation for final deleting of server.


This decision was not made lightly and it is with heavy heart that it is being done. However, there are some major realities here at Futanari Palace that can no longer be ignored. The biggest reality is that the forum no longer has anywhere near the traffic to justify its continued presence on the net. For over twenty years, Futanari Palace with the place to go for anything and everything related to the futanari fetish. However, time and tide have taken its toll and the forum is no longer viable. This came to pass from the following causes:


1. Limitations of Forum Software
There are only so many things that forums can do. At its peak, Futanari Palace was a community, a library of futanari material, a game development site, and a gathering place for roleplayers. The community had tens of thousands of visitors a day for any and all of these purposes. However, as time and technology marched on, the limitations of forum software trying to do all of these things became very obvious. The storage needed for all of the comics, images, videos, and other material greatly bloated the site and created a financial burden. Likewise, the forum ran a heavily customized version of the core software that became unsustainable once its original webmaster left the community in 2013, creating a slow time bomb that would eventually cripple the forum in 2019 with the excessive spambotting. Even as this was going on, other websites easily eclipsed Futanari Palace’s position. E-Hentai/EX-Hentai (Sad Panda) became THE website for any and all erotica, regardless of fetish with its dedicated library software. The advent of Patreon and its competitors made it possible for individual artists to set themselves up without the need of a forum to act as a middleman community. F95Zone easily became the place for any and all videos, archives, and games not just for the futanari fetish, but most fetishes. Sadly, Futanari Palace fell behind and never took any action to recover its former position.


2. The Failed Import of 2020
In an effort to stop the spam problems in late 2019, where staff was literally banning HUNDREDS of bots daily, the decision was made to reboot the forum with new software with then-modern security measure to put it to a halt. At the time, the impression was that everything would and could be imported over with minimal or no losses. As the only surviving staff member from that time, I can say that we basically fucked up and found out wrong, but it was too late to fix anything. ALL of the attachments were lost. The library, all of the Second Life links, archives, movies, animated images...everything. The staff did its god-damndest to recover by re-importing no less than three times, a process that took weeks, yet to no avail. The new software and the old forum was not compatible with each other. The library, save for Dolfus’ tireless provision of game links for download, was a total loss. Links to stories, RPs, and other materials were busted. Some were recovered, most were not. The Second Life community left the forum en masse with this loss. The loss of the Second Life Community was not the only consequence of the 2020 debacle.


3. Sunsetting of ActionScript/Flash and its effect on the SlaveMaker Community
One of the biggest communities on the Palace was the Slavemaker community. Created as a side project by Poolka and taken over by Cmacleod, Slavemaker was a massive part of FP. If there were any game that could be said to encapsulate the spirit of FP, it was Slavemaker. However, Adobe phased out ActionScipt and Flash at the same time the failed import struck. Thus, any and all bugs from ActionScript could not be phased out. Web browsers would update to depreciate and reject running Flash without a third party player. On top of that, Cmacleod himself became extremely ill prior to the failed import, which essentially killed organized development. Once Cmac left and Adobe killed Flash, there was another major community that left the forum in droves.


4. Departure of Popular Content Creators and their fans.
While the exodus had begun slowly prior to the collapse of the Forum in 2020, popular authors and artists began leaving the Palace. When they left, their fanbases went with them. Some of these departures were due to creators aging out and moving on with their lives. Others left due to the forum import debacle. FP hemmoraged members during the first half of the decade due to its most popular creators simply leaving. With other means available, such as Patreon, SubscribeStar, Discord, and the ease of setting up one’s own community, FP became an antiquated middleman that technology made no longer necessary. Competing forums with larger, broader communities also had the member and financial base to do what FP could not; expand to meet demands.


5. COVID
I won’t get too much into this, but COVID fucked up everything. It happened at the WORST possible time; the botched import debacle. The one time FP needed to be stable was during COVID with everyone quarantined in their homes. FP wasn’t there because it was busted. Even more members were lost seeking life elsewhere as the Forum could not fulfill its function and purpose.


6. Age and the Passage of Time
Futanari Palace was established by Shenandoah and her cadre in 2006. Twenty years have passed since the forum first started and I joined in 2010. Futanari Palace’s purpose has always been creating a place where people that want to see futanari can find it. In the past two decades, Futanari, dickgirls, and even RL shemales have exploded in popularity and, quite frankly, have become mainstream. Futanari Palace’s original mandate and purpose have been fulfilled by providence of this development. Anyone can go to most sites and find what would be considered rare or niche back in the days of Windows XP and Vista when the Forum first opened. Speaking of age, the original wave of members has pretty much aged out of the community and moved on with their lives. Shenandoah passed the reigns to Echoen in 2013. Echoen did so two years ago in 2024 to Swammy. None of us are really that young anymore. I, myself, have been here for sixteen years. FP’s purpose has been fulfilled with the popularity and spread of futanari and the original guard that made it possible, there is no other way to say it, we got old and gray and we are feeling our age now. With all of the other issues present, the community has shrank to where there is not enough new members to replace all of us grayhairs.


The Forum, from top to bottom, is at the end of its life. We have tried desperately and in vain to keep things going. However, all of the issues I stated have piled up and the end-of-life for FP is here. There is no longer any denying it and what needs to be done, and what some would argue should have been done sooner is now taking place; sunsetting and shutting down the Forum.


I am unhappy to be the one to make this announcement and be one of the staff members to turn out the lights, but it is time. The only thing I can ask members to do is, in these final months, enjoy and celebrate what FP has and had to offer and how it changed the online community. I have been on staff since 2015 and to be honest, I am looking forward to my retirement. Please direct technical questions to Q and policy questions to Swammy regarding the sunsetting and final shutdown.


DX Asmodeus.

Hello everyone again!
In the end, while I was waiting for my laptop to continue drawing futanari, I became an admin of a semi-dead NSFW channel about futas. The previous owner got disappointed in this idea and put the channel up for sale, but even for free, no one wanted to take it.

I bought it a little over a month ago, and during this time, I managed to almost double its audience (2.2к) and re-engage all the old subscribers. This is not a typical grid-style trash channel where soulless slop is posted; it is a truly lively and cozy corner where people share (very actively) their love for cute dick-girls.

We have a suggestion bot where you can send your stories, fantasies, and thoughts about futa, as well as share your favorite arts (I will only post what I like, but every month we designate one day to post ALL suggested posts). Mostly, Kiry and I post arts and videos ourselves.
I also enabled anonymous comments under each post so that even the most shy people can feel comfortable. Some people find a partner there to roleplay some futa plot, which I really like.
Soon I will draw a mascot for us, and I think I will start posting my own arts directly on this channel.
It is, of course, originally intended for a Russian audience and is conducted in Russian, but I enabled auto-translation of messages and tried to make the time spent on the channel comfortable for everyone, so you can check out what I managed to do @futaNSFW

I made this account, because other places like Twitter and Reddit are just getting worse, especially with this whole age verification nonsense.

So since i'm not a fan of giving up my personal info, i thought i seek out smaller places with people who are just as weird as me.

Hey hey everybody I’m Cherry lovely to meet you all.? been into futa for a few years but only recently found this place. Was hoping to ask someone for help learning to be a futa? I know how to rp and such chats but being a futa is new territory to me and I wanna ask. 

Love cherry your local witch. ?

Hi there. I’ve really wanted to find people who appreciate my art and share my interests—I’d love to discuss things like futanari and the like. I posted my pictures on X, but nobody even looks at them; 
I got instantly banned on Reddit because of my zero karma (that system really annoys me); and on Pixiv, one of my pieces was temporarily hidden because I forgot to add censorship.
Anyway, I’d love to hear what you think of my work.             
Here’s a Kokomi WIP—she turned out to be really fun to draw, and the inspiration is flowing, though maintaining focus is a real struggle...

Planned Downtime

So with our current Cloud/VPS provider, through one circumstance or another, we slid into a higher price bracket. This lead us to have to pay a bit more than necessary on the server, as computational and traffic costs are billed on us, while our virtualized hardware (we use a "VPS" plan), is basically as powerfull as your old smartphone from 5 years ago.

With the recent developments here, especially considering our RAM needs, me and our Owner Swammy, want to switch to a different plan, that offers:
- more RAM (we will go up from 2 to 8 GB or so)
- more disk space for backups/file uploads
- and is cheaper (back to a plan of like 8 USD a month).

For that purpose, the server will undergo a planned maintenance window on:
Time: 2026-06-08 02:45:00 UTC
Duration: 0.5 - 4 hours

Thanks to backups, I expect everything to go smoothly.
After the Server Moving I will not immediately be making any significant configuration changes, (that would leverage the additional RAM or the improved disk space). Those will be made in the weeks after the server moving. In essence, expect the Forum to operate the very same way, in the coming 1-2 weeks, in regards to speed and any issues as before, and report any discrepancies, so me and our Owner Swammy can rule out any issues arising from the Server Moving itself.


Regards,
