I can't remember which viewfinder mode I was in. I was playing around with my Xpro1 and found it is so easy to shift the focusing point to the left or wherever. Just hold down the AF button and use the directional buttons. I should have done that before first use. Next time I will place the focus point to one side, depending which direction I'm facing like I should have with the bearded man photo. I will have to practice zone focusing on the wife until It's more towards second nature.
I enjoy using cameras so I think I may, if funds allow, get hold of a Rollieflex TLR at some time in the not too distant future and take that out on the streets. I used to enjoy the fact that the leaf shutter allows shutter speeds much slower than usual due to its mirror being static and the leaf shutter being so light and vibration free. There is also the advantage in people not realising a photo is being taken because they don't see a camera at your eye. They think you're just looking at your camera's settings or something. At least it'll be easier using a coloured filter with B/W film than trying to use a polarising filter. Man, that's a hoot!

Try zone focusing or focus and recompose.  I'm guessing, by looking at the bearded guy image, you were in OVF Mode?  Just a guess.  When the subject is close, the parallax is greater so I usually switch to zone if it's feasible.  If I'm working a scene, then I always switch to zone so I don't have any lag when my subject enters the frame...
 
Just some of the methods I use...
 
Street photography is difficult, but it's that challenge that we love isn't it.  Sometimes I come home and I'm not happy with any of my images, and I think I should just sell my cameras.  Truth is, I love going out and trying to make images.  It's a blast, even if I'm not very good at it sometimes and completely suck other times...
 
Stick to it...As long as you're enjoying it that is...

I miss my old X-Pro1.  Heck I miss all my Fuji cameras.  This was from one of the first times I really experimented with manually control and making a conscious effort to work with natural lighting while on a photo walk.

Beautiful. My favourites are the Dickensian images. They look like they're on a movie set.

I was out for my first trip with my new X-Pro1 last weekend (normally use X100s for street) and used the two lenses that came with the purchase.
 
I am delighted to say it performed incredibly well and outperforming the X100s for AF speed /accuracy, write speed and quality of image so one very happy new owner!
 
Here are some of the images from the day.
 








 

if you look at some pictures by Henri Cartier-Bresson, especially the first ones, they are not particularly or at all sharp but they all get to your soul.
 

well, you can move the focussing around or point the center to the place where you intend to focus  and then quickly recompose.
 
Keep trying, well done.

To answer your question in the topic title:
Yes, there is this other site with a similar name.
 
No, that's no fraudulent site but our competitors.
 
Their claim is „the original Fuji X Forum“ - we are „the ultimate Fuji X Forum“.
 
I think it's a question of politeness if we do not comment on errors on their side.
 
But again: No fraudulent site.
