First of all let me just say Happy Fathers Day to all of the dads out there!
We’ve got a bunch of new toys to play with on MFI today, so buckle your seat belt as I run through the list…
The new and improved Live Chat is here!! Yes, you read that right. It’s finally here! I can’t even begin to tell you the stress and headaches I went through to get this up and running. Different vendors. Different countries. New servers. The list goes on… At one point I even stalked the first vendor by driving to their location and knocking on their door! (No one answered). It was a big mess. All I’ll say is that I now know first hand what’s it’s like to deal with people in different time zones and how frustrating it can be! But I digress… let’s focus on the positives. NEW LIVE CHAT! This new implementation includes live audio and video webcam support! It includes the ability to share real time drawings, and even supports a couple of board games that you can play with a friend! And it includes sounds to let you know when someone is requesting a chat — a feature all of you wanted desperately.
Along with the new chat comes 3 new tiers of premium membership subscriptions.
- B-Cup – at $5.95/mo includes live chat, but doesn’t include any message credits as a cheaper option
- C-Cup – at $9.95/mo is the same as the current subscription option with 5 free credits, and adds the gaming and drawing options to live chat.
- DD-cup – at $14.95/mo includes everything from C-Cup but adds live audio and video webcam capabilities — both viewing and publishing if you’re so inclined.
Live audio and video is not cheap to do online (without subsidizing it with advertisements) so in order to cover the costs associated with the new media server we had to add the 3rd pricing tier. You can upgrade your account at any time if you’d like, and you can also downgrade should you choose to do so. Full instructions are included in the help section.
Ladies, there is no charge to you to use any of these features. Just your time investment! 
Also, guys, you can now see when your current subscription is going to renew/expire on your Edit Profile page.
And speaking of the Edit Profile page, there is a new “stealth mode” option. A couple weeks ago we made some updates to the way profile updates were logged and reported to help improve the performance and unify the code. A couple of you wanted a way to still use the site as normal, but not have that cause you to float to the top of the list of guys. Stealth mode will keep your profile from showing as recently updated. It will also prevent ladies from sending you chat requests. Instead, you must be the one to initiate a chat request with her. We realize that sometimes there can be a lot of very aggressive and determined ladies on MFI, and it’s not easy to reply to everyone. So with stealth mode enabled you can still be active on the site, while at the same time keep a low profile.
Let’s see, what’s next? Did I mention the updates to live chat yet? Oh yeah. We covered that.
One thing I forgot to mention however is with the new live chat feature, we are also including a new list of ladies that are currently online at this very moment so that you can easily find someone to chat with. Sorry ladies, you have no stealth mode option, but honestly no one has asked for it yet. Don’t you want the attention?
Oh, there’s a new Wishlists feature! I recorded some screencasts on how that works which you can watch here.
We’ve had some requests in the past from benefactors that said they wished there was a way they could send gifts to their friends. This is especially important to them when their friends were about to go in for surgery, and they wanted to send them a care package or a get-well-bouquet of flowers. Anything that can help make their surgery recovery a little more comfortable goes a long way to showing your friends that you care about them.
Originally we were going to make this feature only available to the ladies in the Hall of Fame. However, there’s another group that we didn’t want to leave out…
Sometimes girls will tell us that all the have a crappy cell phone camera and they feel at a disadvantage because their photos aren’t very good quality. They don’t have the disposable income to buy a new camera so they tend to give up on their dreams because of it. MyFreeImplants was created to help people realize their dreams despite their economic situation! So wishlists is just an extension of that concept.
Wishlists are a simple way to address both of these scenarios by linking your Amazon.com wishlist to your MyFreeImplants profile. You can literally add anything on Amazon to your wishlist and if your friend wants to treat to something nice and send you a gift, he/she can easily do so by browsing through your wishlist and then purchasing the item on Amazon. You can even include gift wrapping if you’d like. Amazon will then send the item to her on your behalf without the need to exchange addresses or billing info.
A minor update is that in order to make room for some of the new features mentioned, we shuffled a few navigation items around and renamed a few of the links. So just be aware of that when you are browsing profiles.
And finally, Jay and myself will be re-introducing our profiles back into the website so that we can have more direct interaction with you all. All help questions should still go through the regular channels, but we don’t want to seem like such strangers anymore. We originally made the decision because of the heat we were receiving on various fronts, but we realized that wasn’t a beneficial change.
I think that’s about it for this installment. As always we welcome your feedback and input and we’re happy to see many of your requests make it into the latest version on MyFreeImplants!

Leave A CommentHey.. don’t dog my wish list. I may have a vacuum and a brush for my dog and even tanning oil, but heck those are the things I want. So, I may not get them, but if I do GOODIES! Yes, I agree 110% that people who are already in the HOF will come back just for the wish list.. what’s wrong with that? Until MFI offers rhinoplastys its another way for me to have fun on this sire and maybe even get a few things that I’ve wanted for a long time. Personally, I am not going to change the items on my wish list just because it doesnt relate to my boobs… Anyways, too bad we can’t ‘raise money” via messages and getting to know guys to put towards things we want… but as of now I like the idea, just curious if anyone will actually use it.
The privacy issue…particularly, disclosure of city, concerns me more than anything. While most people are cool and would not use personal information like that for anything shady, this is the internet. And, this is basically an “adult” site. All it takes is one sociopath with an obsession…
I think that actually makes it dangerous and I think there are a lot of young women here who might not realize the risk. That worries me.
One way to have a bit more control over it is to not have the wishlists publicly displayed on the profile. This way, a girl can choose who she shares it with.
I like the idea that a model has to have already earned X-amount, so that it’s clear she didn’t sign up just to get free gifts that are non-boob related. That seems logical.
I wish that instead of X-boxes and the like, travel expenses related to surgery could be on a wishlist. THAT would be so unbelievably helpful. If I go to the surgeon I want most, it’s going to be, at the very least, $1000 out of pocket (just for transportation and lodging for me and a caretaker). I don’t know how I will come up with that…I had been trying to save for a few months, got to about $30 in change, and then had to use it all for tolls to and from school. If my travel expenses were covered, I would definitely go to my #1 choice of doctor.
I have to highly agree with Jessie. I’m one of those ladies who has to travel far to get a surgeon I felt comfortable with to do my surgery over and the expense of the trip is killing me. I’m driving down to save money on a car rental,But I still have to pay for gas,food,hotel for 1 week and it’s a pretty hefty out of pocket expense that I really cannot afford. Without this surgery I would be in pain and I think I have been this way long enough. Is theer or will theer be any options for this?
sorry for my spelling.. just so damn tired and cannot sleep! lol
I like the new chat. i can understand all the differences in opinion on the wish list. i (as im sure there are some honest girls still on here) do have only 2 items on mine. i explained in a pvt blog why i would like and use both items. i choose to not take advantage of that
All very good comments! Thanks for sharing your opinions and thoughts. They are extremely valuable!
Regarding the privacy of these wish lists… As you will see when you create your list (as well is in the How-To news post) we posted a notice to alert you of the fact that if you choose to add items to your list that are sold through a 3rd party vendor, then that 3rd party may share the shipping address with the purchaser. So to stay on the safe side, you should only add items that Amazon sells directly.
UPDATE: Please see my comment (#51) below.
SO, Amazon itself does not share any personal shipping information with the purchaser of a wishlist item?
From what I understood (and I may have missed something when reading the news and watching the how-to video), the purchaser may be able to see city and state. I didn’t catch anything about this only being true if it’s a 3rd party item. If that’s the case, it definitely alleviates some of my concerns regarding safety.
@Jessie Amazon will show city and state, but not address.
Im kinda torn on the whole wishlist…I havent been very active myself here but all my donaters know that its only because I have had computer issues.
Yet every single one I have spoken to about the wishlist has ASKED ME to put something on my list…There was a couple who wanted to buy gifts…flowers lingerie ect after I reached HOF so for them its a great addition.
I dont see why people are making a huge deal about it…you can either participate or not simple as that.Like I said MY friends have requested that I use the wishlist…not sure whether I will participate or not yet but you have to look at it from all angles.
Jumping the gun and coming up with silly theories 1 day into it is just crap …focus on your goal which is BOOBIES…I will say that while I was earning I would NEVER considered doing a wishlist as boobs were my number ONE priority..my dream…I sold old things on ebay to buy a new camera…I budgeted(((trust me was hard))) to put a little towards it myself…I have 2 kids and a single income I know its tough but If you are earning for boobs putting items not related to helping you achieve your goal is going to deter benefactors from donating/supporting you.
As I said Im not sure myself whether I will participate but so far 5 out of 5 that I have spoken to have asked me to make one…so for HOF’ers I think its a great idea.
Girls Just dont forget what you are here for…your here for boobs…you can always buy a PS3 or a Nintendo DS…can you afford to pay for your Own boobs?
Just my lil rant..
Ok here is a concern I had…what about girls JUST joining for the wish list part? They stay on “earning” yet concentrate more on the wish list, when they get what they want they leave never intending to have surgery. The funds go back to the guys but they leave with “FREE” stuff!
Another issue…..new guys still burn a buck to message us HOFers that have never sent one before. If HOFers are here and we are making new friends we are still earning in a way with paid messages. So if we put in more time here to keep in touch with our friends and yes some will come back ONLY because of the wish list…my question is what about those extra funds just sitting in my boobie bank almost a year after surgery and it is still growing? If it goes into a seperate fund for chargebacks or to help another with exchange rates that is fine, but just to sit there…maybe there is some way HOFers can earn paid messages as credits towards a purchase on Amazon perhaps?
Please edit your wishlist settings on Amazon. I’ll add a screencast for this too.
See here:
Third-party item shipping
At Amazon.com, third-party sellers (i.e., sellers other than Amazon) offer many items. If you instruct Amazon to share your Wish List shipping address with these third-party sellers, then customers can purchase items for you off your Wish Lists that are sold by these sellers and have them automatically sent to your confidential Wish List shipping address.
If you choose to enable this feature, you acknowledge that Amazon will provide the seller of your item with your Wish List shipping address, and the seller may disclose this address to the buyer (for example, when sending the buyer a purchase confirmation). Further, because an item may often be purchased from more than one seller, the sellers offering the item at the time of purchase may be different than the sellers offering the item when you placed the item on your Wish List.
If you decide not to enable this feature, customers purchasing items for you that are sold by sellers other than Amazon will be required to enter your shipping address.
hey @ angel in disguise, using money from the messages to buy stuff on amazon sounds mighty like you using boob funds for stuff other than boobs
perhaps an automatic charitable donation of the message dollar? one of the breast cancer charities? i’m sure the HOF girls, you included AngelInDisguise would approve of that
of course I would….I believe my first suggestion was to use it towards other models charge backs after 6 months and everything was cleared away with my account, or to help out with last minute exchange rates…it is not alot but with many in HOF I am sure it adds up. The reason I said use to help out with Amazon (or perhaps a bra or 2) is because in spite of being told guys can message thru contest pages they still chose to burn that buck to be able to message us for free after, I think you may have the wrong idea about me LOL! The guys WANT to know where it is going, and wanted it to help out SOME way for us. I just want it put to use and of course as the Js see fit!
very true, but i still dont like the idea of my dollar going towards a model i dont know, whether she has suffered chargebacks or not.
that would be me paying for the misdeeds of other benefactors, not the girls, but still.
the reason i suggested a charitable donation, is because it is uncontoversial, better than a great big warning saying sending this woman a message will mean someone you dont know gets your dollar
i know it seems petty, but in my opinion, if you start with something that isnt transparent, then you build on that as time goes on.
actually LOL now come to think of it, the dollar going towards the amazon wishlist would be preferable to a dollar towards an unknown girl.
tho as cans of worms go, this isnt a biggy
the big can of worms will open, when some people start piffing for each others wishlists!!!! now thats gonna be the giant sized can of best worms LOL
BTW….you state me using paid messages for stuff OTHER than boobs….I GOT MINE, that is what I am trying to get across…the paid message money AFTER all is said and done….so technically it is not boob funds any longer right? I was just curious along with others what happens with it.
ok THATS what my guys who burn that buck have said…..they want it to go to me. I tell them I am sorry they burned it, they tell me it was worth it no matter where it goes to be able to message me anytime….
LOL I thought about the PIFin the list….
I DO hope once this takes off the Js will not allow this stuff bout who get what, yada yada being posted in the public blogs…as a few may know there was animosity already about the lists yesterday.
wait…not thought about PIFin it, thought about others doing just that….just a clarification!
angel, i really dont feel bad about this, as i said, i am a fan of the lists, and am looking forward to my faves posting them,
and of course the blogs should remain free of direct accusation
but there are issues galore! LOL
@ jason
i have just had a worrying conversation, a hof girl has just told me that she has been bought something on the wishlist, but because amazon links her wishlist here to another, the fact that she had been bought it didnt show up here!
people can have a wishlist that shows up here, and can get amazon link it to another that doesnt!!!
see?
how on earth can we know what has been bought and what hasnt?
I am curious: MFI links up Amazon Wish Lists, yet Amazon is a censored word in chat and messages??? Oversight?
Amazon isn’t in the filtered list. You may have an old version of the list in your cache. Clear it and try again.
@dietcoke, I’m not sure I understand the issue. Please send us an help request with the details so we can look into it further. Thanks.
Women now have a Stealth Mode option too as per request.
Another thought: has any consideration been made about not allowing the mention of wishlists in public blogs, as well as not allowing women who publicly blog to have the word “wishlist” in their name. It seems that with these blogs going out to the world, it cheapens the site, and if any prospective surgeons come on to check out the site, and look at some of the wish lists with $5000 handbags, $4000 flat panels TVs, dildos, they are going to get the wrong impression about the site. Also, consideration on policing the wishlists for the same reason?
Considered it? Yes. Spent time on it? No.
We hate being police and cracking down on people. And we hate censoring people. I’d rather not spend my time worrying about abuse. I’d rather focus on more productive things. Do I think about it? Yes. Does it concern me? Yes. But I’m not going to dwell on it. The vast majority of people are good, so it hardly benefits anyone to spend an inordinate amount of time planning for dooms day scenarios.
I agree with Jim, and have so mentioned a couple of times. I feel like it has no place in the public eye. I feel it should be reinforced with repercussions some way. If someone brags about so and so get her this or that….it is going to stir trouble. I don’t really have a problem with what a model added to their list, I mean it IS a wishlist…and it says ITEM DESIRED….so yea a $5000 handbag is definitely a desire. It does not necessarily mean it will ever be purchased. I have revised my list quite a few times, its been fun to PC window shop
and ya know how much women LOVE stuff! Alot on mine will be purchased by myself because of the great bargains.
One question I DO have…..unless someone tells us they are the one that purchased it, is there any way to KNOW who did?? I have one item no one has yet to reveal as their gift to me….maybe some want to remain anonymous.
you know, if they have 5000 dollars handbags, then good luck to them, says a lot about the person. i’m not sure it cheapens the site in reality, what it does do is give the site a bad image, and may put off potential benefactors. lets face it, many of us are here because of the general friendlyness and bonhommie that abounds.
one of the reasons that this news item has 66 posts, is because we want that feeling to continue. we dont want this site to become money grabbing and transactional. However at the same time, if there are wishlists and they are above board, i dont think it is anyones business whats on them. we allow wishlists, then we allow them! period
and i cant see how a banning of mentionning wishlists in blogs would be a good idea, how can you have a feature of the site, one that may well become a main expenditure stream of many benefactors, and then treat it like an open secret.
we either embrace the wishlists, or we dont, the blog rules are fine as they stand, they allow for open talk without anything getting out of hand.
Here I sit and am wondering why the ladies are being penalized for wishing? Hoping for things that maybe, just maybe, they can’t buy for themselves or that they could but the money can go for things like rent or a utility bill that must taken care of. I, myself, do have things that I wish for and I have two wish lists. One is strictly for MFI for things that I would love to have ONLY for myself. The other is for things that I would love to buy and one day, I will.
I have never begged for donations or “things”. It is beneath me! My friends have REQUESTED that I do my wish list for MFI. I have no intention on asking or requesting that they purchase me anything. They wanted to know simply what I would wish for. And since I am getting my big girls, I am going to need a new wardrobe. I will buy the lingerie that I want one day, a little at a time but if they wanted to know what I would wear, I put it down in my list. I did put on my wish list that I would love to have plants after my surgery. However, the reason is because I want something that doesn’t die in a few days. And when I look at it, I will remember who thought of me enough to send it. A flower plucked dies in a matter of days but a plant can be grown for years and looked upon with loving memories.
I have to be perfectly honest, I would rather that they just be what they have always been, my friends! No more than that!
CHAT – Great!
WebCam – Maybe some day in the future…
Wishlist – Will some abuse them? Yes. But I’m one who asked friends who are against wishlists to create one. I want to be able to send my friends a small token of thanks for the privilege of sharing their journey to Hooterville. I won’t spend much on wishlist items. My budget for the boob bank won’t change either. Go ahead and dream big.
Is there any chance that we could have the choice to create a wishlist that is not posted publicly?
In other words, one that could be shared with friends if I choose to share it?
