I've been a member of Fubar for 11 years and it's a great place to hang out. I've made friends over the years, some of whom I have met in the real world.
There is something for everyone on Fubar. You get points for everything you do and levels which makes it into a game. There are also social lounges and even fumafia.
I don't understand the negative comments here. Drama is caused by drama. You can just ignore or block anyone you don't want to speak to. You do not have to spend money if you don't want to. Like most games, you can move up the levels quicker spending money but you really don't need to, it's completely up to you.
I have always found Admin approachable if I've had an issue. I think the people complaining here are probably people that have abused the system or have caused drama. Fubar don't tolerate rule dodgers which is maybe why some people have a beef.
Fubar is what you make it, I would recommend you try for yourself and give it a go :)
