***General Rules***

1. Be nice. Don't hate on people just for their fetish. This is a supportive community, have fun!

2. Be relevant. If it is not directly linked to gaining, or the fetish itself, it will be removed.

3. Don't spam. You know what spam is. Just don't do it.

4. Don't troll. Nobody likes a troll.

5. MARK NSFW, WHERE APPLICABLE. Don't be the one who ruins childhoods or get people fired. The option is there for a reason. If you're not sure if it is or isn't, mark it anyway just to be safe.

6. KEEP HEALTH IN MIND. Gaining weight can be very unhealthy and cause a variety of health problems. As sad it is to recognize it, any posts trying to convince people otherwise will be removed. We are not here to brainwash people, so don't lie to other users.

7. Minors will be banned.

8. No false representation. Don't post images of other gainers and claim that it's you. If you want to post an image of someone else, be sure to mention that its not you.

9. No health snark We know gaining is unhealthy, we know it could kill us, and comments stating this are wholly unnecessary spam from people who don't really care about gainer's health.

Not following these rules will result in the deletion of your comment/link/submission and the offender will be warned of their actions.

Repeat offenders will be banned.

Some info about gainers and related fetishes:

Check out our wiki!

Name Description
Gainers Men or women who are sexually attracted (fetish) to the idea or physical act of growing bigger, fatter, or rounder. Gainers come in all shapes and sizes and their fantasies, goals, and ideal guys vary from each gainer.
Stuffers Men or women who are sexually attracted to the idea or physical act of consuming large amounts of food or water for sexual gratification
Bloaters Men or women who enjoy the act of bloating or inflating their bellies temporarily with water, soda, food, or air.

Some jargon:

Jargon Description
Maintainers Men or women who are retired from gaining. Whenever, or whatever the reason. Reasons include: health concerns, reaching goals, or losing interest. Maintainers do not need to maintain their weight. Some can loose weight due to earlier mentioned reasons. Maintainers are those who are still a gainer in the heart, but have completed their goals or hindered to achieve them.
Admirers Any fetish has those who do not dabble into the fetish themselves, but admire those who do. Admirers can express their gratitude from a simple compliments to worshiping.
Encouragers These are people who cheer the gainers to achieve their goals, and then persuade the gainer to grow beyond them. For most of these people fat, is never fat enough.
Enablers Most gainers enable themselves by buying their own food. Enablers persuade gainers to let them buy the food for them. But this has not to be limited to only food.
Feeders A borrow-word from the feeder/feedee-fetish, but is used to denote the same group: Those whose interest is to feed gainers and get their sexual kick out of seeing the gainer grow under their care.

IMPORTANT

Though we support any choice users make to gain weight, we would like to remind users that doing so can be very unhealthy and even dangerous depending on the methods used, activity level, and general size. It is important to keep this in mind when deciding to gain weight.
