FAREHAM, England, June 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- (http://www.myprgenie.com) -- The recently relaunched social network and online fraternity, faces.com, has had a change in direction from sending profile "winks." The new site has come up with the idea of replacing winks with a range of funny wanks. Users can now be found "beating the Beaver" or "doing the rattlesnake shake" over members' profiles.
In the first two weeks since relaunch, over 260,000 profile wanks had been sent on the site between members far outnumbering all traditional lines of contact. In fact so many wanks were being sent at one point that members' accounts had to be limited to twenty per day to ensure that the "wank" servers were able to cope with the load. Many members now seem to be getting frustrated as they receive a message telling them they have been "wanking too much in a 24 hour period." But Faces is working on a technical solution that hopes it will let its members wank as often as they like again shortly.
One of the Faces' members had wanked nearly 600 times in one day alone. The most popular terms for profile wanks are "buffing the banana" for men and "teasing the kitty" for women with over 80,000 sent in the first week alone.
CEO Martin Montague stated, "During a technical meeting we were discussing just how wank that normal site winks were. Then I said maybe we should have wanks instead as it would be fun, and no one has ever tried it before. Within a few days we had put a list together of really funny terms and although cautious on how the members would initially receive the idea, we decided we had enough balls to give it a go. Well I can certainly say that it has been a very firm success over the past week. It certainly demonstrates that fresh ideas can still be a lot of fun on the net even if the ideas may seem somewhat 'wank' at first."
