My 3 month membership has expired.............I have made some friends on here (I think!) and would love to be able to chat with them again, but really don't want to pay for the service - not much I know, but frustrating that I HAVE to pay in order to chat! Anyone else having the samemoment?!

I can relate to this. When I joined this site, I was only interested in the reading and writing aspects it had to offer. But I've found a different side to Lush, a naughty side, people that I can relate to who are just like me. It's enlightening and opening my eyes to a world I never knew existed.
But I too will lose my chatting privileges soon. I cannot make a payment to this site - my girlfriend would chop my fucking bollocks off should she find a transaction made to a sex site from my bank account.
I plan to keep in touch with people I meet here via alternate means - there's always email and instant messengers.
Don't get me wrong, this is a fantastic site, and I'm sorry for the financial difficulties it's up against, but bank payment is just not an option for me.

No offence, but why is she studying your bank statements?
(it's less than a dollar a month for Silver, yes?)

No offence taken. I'm the most laid-back person you'll ever meet, so ask me anything you like.
A couple of years ago I went on a bit of wild one, going out on the lash every night and pissing money up a wall like there was no tomorrow. Ever since, my girlfriend has been hot on my case, checking my bank statements regularly to make sure that I'm not squandering our money.
I'll sum up my answer in one sentence: I'm a very naughty boy who should be kept on a short leash at all times.![]()

1. Chatting is free, see?
2. I can totally relate. I once went to the grocery store where they were handing out samples of different selections of a brand of sausages. I had about 3 or 4 different kinds. I found 2 of the selections particularly delicious, so I set out to obtain a pack of each.
But alas! I got to the aisle and realized I had to pay for a pack of them. Why on earth would anyone allow you to sample something for free and then expect you to pay full price for the full product?! Absurd!

Also, it can be a bit off putting when people post for help or even just a little moan and mods are sarcastic. It doesn't make us want to give our money up when we feel excluded.

Yeah, I know what you mean. They were getting a bit heavy there for a minute. I was almost ducking for cover.
I'm now thinking: What have I sighed up for? This is a fucking madhouse!![]()

I completely understand what they're saying, but when you've been on the site for ages you appreciate it more and it can be hard to see things from the point of 'an outsider' i.e. a newbie. I'm sure they didn't mean to come over as harshly as they did but it's a bit off putting when you've only just come to the site. Hence why it took me so long to upgrade- I don't wanna part with my cash only to be teased.

Members moan about paid memberships.
Members (mods included) moan about the moaning of paid memberships.
Fair enough, right?

I've got bronze membership because I published a story before all the changes were made to the site. Does this mean that I get to keep that or do I have to start paying at some point?
You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.

I am not aware of having anything more than a free membership, yet I seem to have access to all the features bronze offers. Am I overlooking something or am I an anomaly?

You were a published author prior to 01/01/2015, and therefore you were grandfathered in with a lifetime Bronze membership.
