if the interface changed a little, you could add more branding. Or even have a logo made or whatnot. I made a few to show you.
just spruce it up?
the red or perhaps a new color could be expanded slightly. just my
You could have a slogan contest, and the winner gets a membership. idk

Well, it seems that not only is this an issue for Jack, but a few others as well. And there is appears to be a serial commenter who comments and deletes their comments. Except for the two sentences in his post, I do agree with Jack, there is no need to know if a comment is deleted.
As to his last two sentences... if Jack hates RRs and "perfect scores" so much... maybe he should request his RRs be removed and make all his stories unscorable. I'm sure Nicola or another Senior Mod can do this for him.

Okay.
"Disgusting subject" seems a little strong, it is a PG-13 situation at best, a boy wanting to look at a Playboy (and not even getting to, beyond a turned down page flap), but I understand the reasoning. No need to bash, however. It's not disgusting. It's probably a nearly universal experience.
I'll still write it. I just won't submit it here (or the blue site).

So...
A little back ground, first.
As you know, Gav has been not only our main tech monkey, but our only tech monkey since the sites inception. It's been suggested, on occasion, that it would be nice to get him help - perhaps a sexy assistant, or savvy tech monkey Junior or even a wee magical fairy girl with a bit of knowledge around techy stuff. Every time, he's replied with "Any one touches anything, I'll feed 'em to the Kangas. Now, plunk that Sprite girl into my monkey cave so I can have a go at her bottom with my digeridoo." (some things are best left unspoken of).
Recently, however, Gav's load has gotten pretty crazy, so, in order to preserve the pristine code that he's implemented while still keeping the improvements coming, he came up with a solution: an upgrade. We're calling him Gav 2.0 although, he insists that we call him Emperor Gav to his face (except for me - he makes me call him "Master Gav" while prostrating myself naked at his feet and cleaning his armor with my tongue until it shines. Really not sure what that's all about, but apparently, it's in his contract - gonna have to have a work with Nicola one of these days...
Couple this with the fact that our facility in Scotsdale, AZ, has become cramped. There's just too many mods these days and they're all tripping over each other to the point of not being able to get much down. It didn't help that Ruthie burned down the east wing where my office resides, either. She claims it was an accident, but there is actual video footage of her lobbing a molotov cocktail through my picture window while extending her middle finger and crying out "Take that, you nazi bitch!" Remind me to revoke her drinking privledges...
So, long story short, we needed a new locale. Gav 2.0... Sorry. Master Gav... *lick lick lick* come up with a solution that none of us had even considered, sparking off a new, and incredibly expensive new project (hint hint) that sort of took a few strange turns and resulted in...
LushStories 4D! we bypassed 3D and virtual reality and conquered time and space, building several new offices (i'll post photos soon, for those interested) in varied locations throughout the space-time continuum.
What does that mean for me, the lush user, you may ask. Several things. With time travel, your stories should be modded faster. In fact, it will be possible to publish stories before they are even written. Also, we will be opening membership for anyone past, present, and future, as well as those from distant planets (the main lush office is currently orbiting Alpha Centari in the year 2392.
A few other things. As soon as the dust settles a little, we will be creating a new section that deals with the 4D aspect of lush that will keep you updated on changes, new staffing, and new features. Hopefully the launch will be relatively smooth, in the mean time, thanks for your patience (except for Hannah, who's patience was close to non-existance!) and I hope you enjoy the new site!

When I'm hearing from my other friends about it, it's a problem. The point of blocking someone is to prevent them from seeing your posts. When they hit the "quote" thing, that completely defeats the purpose, making the "block" completely pointless.
(P.s. - Excuse me?)

careful what you ask for - you'd never be able to post again.
Quote by HeraTeleia
I'm not sure this is a "fixable" thing, but I have spent substantial time and energy on a collaboration, partly to knock out a collab but mostly to help the person with whom I was collaborating submit his first story.
Unfortunately, this person ...long story short, he sent a rather cryptic message about our relationship (what relationship, now?) and how he couldn't handle it (what, again, now?) so now I'm stuck with a story that I spent hours weedwhacking and messing with and otherwise devoting energy to, energy that could have been directed elsewhere, and fuck if I know what to do with it. I don't believe that it would be ethical to submit it solely under my own name, but I'm pretty sure that if I submit it as a collab, he'll not agree to be named as a co-author.
Options? Right now it looks like "forget it exists" and "submit as collab knowing co-author will refuse" are my only options. Just want some kind of reassurance that these are, in fact, my only options.

Seems like my feigned gayness is actually paying off as intended... you're totally behaving like my compliant little bitch.
Quote by BelthazorQuote by Magical_felix1. I am the least homophobic person you will ever meet.
Don't be homophobic. If he would have linked rate my pussy or something you would not have made this comment. So SP gays off sometimes. Leave him be. Think of a smarter way to attack him if that's your goal.
2. *you're
3. I'm not attacking anyone, troll. I'm questioning why such a site even exists.
And lastly, I have you blocked. Are you really so pathetic that you have to go and snoop on my posts just to try and antagonize me? Grow up. You make snide comments and think yourself a real comedian, but all you do is antagonize people, then go hide behind the skirts of your mod friends. Grow up.

Thank goodness! for a moment I thought the TOS might have taken quite a negative turn...
Quote by THEONEABOVEALL
Boy does that ever answer my question! Please post a link to the story. I won't still any ideas, but I would like to read and see what banal, hedonistic things were accepted in the story.
Quote by THEONEABOVEALL
Think about the orgy in the 9th Gate, with Johnny Depp. I will not include death or violence, but I was wondering if the characters could have blood poured over them, or something similarly extreme. No torture or killing, just super extreme acts like self punch-fisting ("punching" your anus or vagina, in a smooth hard strike to increase pleasure from the raw act of repeating the motion). I like the idea of a Satanic orgy, but if this is not allowed, then I wonder if a Catholic orgy or a pagan orgy will do.

SPOILERS
WW2 was caused by the excessive sanctions that the allied leader imposed upon Germany after the war, destroying it's economy beyond reason - that's the atmosphere that Hitler took advantage of to rise to power.
I thought the final battle was pretty cool and seemed to go by pretty quickly. And yeah, Ares didn't look like a typical villain, but then, that was kind of refreshing - they could certainly have gone with a Chris Hemsworth body type and that would have actually been kind of forgettable. And i like that it was exactly as you said, wasn't making mankind fight - that was in their nature - he actually believed that he was the hero, not the villain, righting the actions of Zeus 'creating' mankind. As I said, no one was black and white - a lot of grey on both sides. And the germans weren't running around hugging the enemy. I think it's a natural reaction, when you're saved from potential death to take comfort among your comrades - probably a lot of soldiers who'd been in each other's company for some time.
Not really sure what steroid bump capsules you're referring to? Please explain.

Sorry, but i'll have to disagree with this post. I'd have to spoil it to talk about the villains, but i thought they were perfect. The film had so many high notes, and the POV - showing mankind and their wars and violence towards each other through an outsiders eyes, really resonated as timeless. Also, there were some brave choice made (get out the kleenex) and the characters surrounding WW were not only simply stereotypes, but all heroic in their own ways, despite their histories and flaws - a lot of important issues were addressed, sometimes subtly so, such as racism, genocide, ptsd, sexual politics, and there was a lot of grey area in both the good guys and the bad guys - def. not black and white.
As for Ms Gadot, the movie wouldn't have worked without her being able to sell herself as an amazon princess - her portrayal was nothing less than amazing - yes, she was hot, but it was her personality and charisma that really shone - and yes, the time spent among the amazons, was totally kick ass.
On a personal note, we both went in with high expectations and both thought the movie exceeded them. Truly an amazing film and i am excited to see it again - probably in the near future.
