If anyone remembers/mourns the old Beauty & Braces site, he's apparently started a Reddit group (or whatever it's called, I'm a Spiritual Boomer), posting pics from the old site and some new stuff.
Beauty_And_Braces over there.
-
Thanks for the info!!
-
Are you sure? https://dereferer.me/?https://www.reddit.com/r/Beauty_And_Braces returns a message saying there aren't any communities with that name.
-
Damn, it was there this morning. Disappointing. Ah well, at least his Redgifs channel is still up.
-
He is still there.
-
Did a quick search, and this came up? https://dereferer.me/?https://noreferrer.me/?https://dereferer.me/?https://www.reddit.com/user/Beauty_And_Braces/
-
Ah, so it's a user, not a community. Nice one!
-
Yep, that's him! Excellent work. As I said, I'm a Spiritual Boomer. I know nothing about Reddit and don't really want to. ;D
-
I tried to connect but got a message saying the user doesn't exist or has been banned! I tried opening it as reddit and as chrome but nothing doing
-
Apparently they've deleted their account. That was fast.
-
What a tease! ;D
-
Apparently they've deleted their account. That was fast.
Wasn't much to see anyway.
A few pics of a random woman with braces and that was about it.
Flagged as NSFW for some reason even though it was literally just a woman smiling who happened to be wearing braces and nothing pornographic or anything of that nature.
-
It appears they've been swinging the banhammer over there. They also axed cumonbraces and bracesnsfw for being unmoderated. Maybe someone who isn't a Spiritual Boomer should make and maintain something there. ;D
-
That might be a good idea.
-
Cumonbraces is gone too?? Damn, that was one of my favourites. No wonder it hasn't been showing up on my feed lately :(
-
There was also "Bracesbabe jen" (I don't remember if that's the exact name) but in general I don't like porn sites dedicated to dental braces, subscriptions are expensive for often mediocre content. On the other hand, I remember a site called "Braces are beautiful", they were classic photos and sometimes of average quality and there was no forum to post things there. For me it was the first real site dedicated to this fetish.
-
Pictures of bracesbabejen occasionally show up on my pinterest feed but honestly they're all old fotos now. I remember braces are beautiful they had hundreds of fotos some really decent quality some not but at the time it was one of the few braces fetish sites around. Ide forgotten about that site. It looks like this and the archive are now the only braces sites left
-
I've been trying to find a repository for Jen's content for ages now, but as you said, it only seems to pop up in random websites every now and again. If anybody has anything by her they'd like to share, please let me know!
Also, @kelly-Marie, is the archive you speak of the braces stories archive that Braceface2015 runs?
-
I have 10-12 of her old pics, including some with elastics and a few with headgear. Happy to send them your way if you like. I might also have some old videos, but those are easier to find on various p*rn collator sites.
-
That would be great!
-
Yes Velteau that's the one I no of no other braces fetish sites left now. There used to be lots both orthodontic and orthotic braces sites sad isn't it?
-
Ain't no country for old orthodontophiles no more, it seems.
-
You're not kidding. They got r/braceface Monday. It's like a scythe over there.
-
Damn, that one too!? The mods must've been doing a really poor job of monitoring the content on there for the admins to take such drastic measures. Then again, I've never seen anything particularly concerning on either of those subs.
Reddit works in mysterious ways.
-
Maybe some of us need to have a discussion about starting a group over there. I have a mountain of "historical" braces (both SFW and not) content I've saved over the years, plus tons of stories I've written. I have no idea how to moderate a Reddit group, but I can contribute content.
-
I like that idea. We just need to find at least a couple people who'd be willing to actively moderate it and we're golden.
-
Mike B I think it would be very good if you could share what content you have unfortunatley I wouldn't have any idea how to start a page or whatever. Does Google groups still exist? Is that a suitable place for your content?
-
Sorry I wrote my post at the same time as Velteau good news it looks like it mite all come together. Unfortunatlry I can't really help with it as I really don't know what I'm doing with computers and websites it's all a mystery to me Lol
-
I'm in a similar boat. I don't really know how to set up such things and have little desire to learn. I also have low motivation due to the ungrateful and nonreciprocal nature of terminally-online coomers, gooners and porn addicts. If one of the younger lads here wants to make it easy for me, though, I'd upload my content.
I started collecting this stuff when I was in Afghanistan, so it goes back to 2006 and before. Many of my stories are here and/or in the Archive, but I also have many more that are unpublished.
-
I second Kelly's suggestion for MikeB to share his relics. Sounds like you're sitting on a treasure trove over there lol
We could of course make the subreddit strictly SFW, so there wouldn't be as many unsavoury sorts coming to it (pun very much intended).
-
Strictly SFW would cut out 80% of my pics and vids, and 90% of my stories. ;D
-
Well, better not then hahah.
Seriously though, you should post your stuff on the Discord. The NSFW channel there hasn't had any actual NSFW content in it for 4 months now.
-
Nah, I quit Discord well over a year ago. I'm not returning.
-
Well, better not then hahah.

I only speak for myself, but the cultural gap was too wide for me to enjoyably navigate there.
I can’t blame him at all for leaving. Kudos to him for gracefully exiting stage right without absolutely ripping someone a new one even though a couple had earned it.
-
Companies like Reddit are trying to keep themselves from becoming porn sites. It makes sense for them to use a heavy hand when they clean up their sites.
As for Discord, they aren't set up for long-term picture storage. They are fine for discussions and chatting, but the pictures get moved up and are hard to find after a while.
So far, DeviantArt hasn't been too brutal with wielding the axe, but that may change.
As for the stories, I am always looking for more to add to TheArchive. Since TheArchive isn't actually a website, I have much better control of what is in it. I have always said it is a place to store the stories before they disappear again. Anyone can send me stories when they write them or if they find any I don't have yet.
-
I have to admit I also haven't fully adapted to the Discord either. I'd never really used Discord at all before and was eager to give it a try after learning we had a parallel community there, but the dearth of content especially is a bit off-putting. Haven't had the misfortune of meeting any weirdos there, but I suppose it is a different crowd that attracts those kinds of people more than the forum does.
Out of curiosity, what was the last straw that made you guys leave?
-
I think the issue on Reddit is more the lack of moderation, though, which I can understand. No one wants a group with a bunch of spam bots. Groups like r/bracesp*rn and r/amature_braces are still up.
I don't know the solution. I just know I have an external hard drive with a bajillion pics, videos and stories that I should probably share before I eventually croak. ;D
Thank you for the kind words, mr_90proof. "Cultural gap" is a great way to put it. I don't think I really had some epic "final straw" moment on Discord. I just eventually came to feel that someone with my overall beliefs and lifestyle (outside my braces interest) wasn't welcome there, so I cancelled myself. ::)
-

I realize I probably have many of the stories on your hard drive, but I would appreciate receiving a copy of the stories you have. Just send them in whatever way is convenient for you.
-
I haven’t answered you Velteau because I have been trying to figure out how to answer. But basically it was just a realization that many of the people there have a VERY different world view than I do. And ironically, those that claim to be tolerant are often not tolerant of anyone that does not believe exactly as they do. Christmas is what drove me to leave. Christmas seems to trigger some people. If you ever wonder what an atheist or vegan is thinking, just listen to what they are screaming into someone’s face. When it is your face they are screaming into it is better just to turn around and leave.
-
Glad I missed that. Christmas is very important to me and I'd have been pissed.
-
It sounds like there isn’t much new content posted over there now. That is a damn shame.
-
The big problem with the braces channel on discord is that the original owner seems to have little interest in it, so as long as the media bits keep working, and the kiddies vaguely behave, then as moderator I tend to leave things alone. There hasn't been any nastiness on the normies chat, just a load of kids who seem to think that either they have major issues, or that they know better than their orthos... once we get into winter, I expect it will get a little busier.
-
I thought there were two braces groups on Discord. Anton's channel and the younger guy's channel, the latter with no minors?
-
Yeah, i run the minor-free server, while Anton runs the orthodontics world-wide, but we both do it independently, and i wouldn't say we're competitors either.
-
Right! I thought you were a member here, as well. I hope things are going well in the server and for you in general, man!
Also, it happened again. I started writing what I thought would be a braces story, set in the Bracing for the Apocalypse universe. But it was too cool and turned into a chapter of Book Two. ;D
-
Heh, yep, everything's going well! :D
