If I have a friend who is already silver and I want to upgrade them to gold, is it still $50? If so does the silver membership start again when the gold runs out? Or can you upgrade the current silver to gold at a reduced price? Thanks.
Due to the way paypal works, it is not possible for our site to share enough information, to be able to pro rata upgrade someone.
In simple terms, we have to treat the upgrade process like a new membership, but add 365 days on to the existing membership expiry date.
So in your example, if someone joined as a Silver Member on 1 January 2015, and you gifted them a Gold membership today, then it would cost you the full Gold amount, but their account would be immediately upgraded to Gold status, and wouldn't run out until 1 January 2017.
It's a bit of a loophole in the system (someone could sign up as a Bronze member, then the next day, upgrade to Gold, and enjoy 2 years of Gold, at a 40% discounted rate), but if someone loves the site enough to do it, we are thrilled regardless!
I hope that clears things up.

Paypal are the 2nd largest payment processor in the world.
They accept every major form of payment, including credit and debit cards. You do not need a PayPal account per se: https://www.paypal.com/webapps/mpp/popup/about-payment-methods

Regarding the comps ....
It was something that was on my mind a while ago and then, popped up again in chatting with another writer.
During the comp timeline (the 6 weeks or whatever it runs), could it be that other comp writers NOT be allowed to vote on another comp's entry?
Why I ask this is because, while competition is a good thing, it can bring out the poorest qualities in some, such as down-voting.
I thought about those that enter the comp later, and have already scored other writers' stories. Do/could those scores be mitigated (or voided) until AFTER the comp?
(or maybe this already happens and is taken into consideration??)
Anywho .... just a thought.

They are ignored. Friend score spam (and their voting down of other's stories) is also weeded out as best as we can.
It's part of the reason it takes over a week, for the winners to be decided (plus the entries need to be read!).
The average score a story receives, is only one of several factors which decide who the winners ultimately are. We are not like some sites who lazily give the prizes to the stories with the highest scores. That's too easily manipulated.
I am yet to receive a reasonable complaint about the winners of any of our competitions, run over the last 8 years, so I think the effort we make is appreciated

got this in a pm.
not a prem user
"This is also the case for all members registered prior to 1 Jan 2015, who were given a 6 month grace period (which ends 30 June 2015)."
Everyone who registered prior to 1 Jan 2015, were effectively given a 6 month Premium Membership.
As of 4 July, those will expire.

Our Forum, Chat and Story Moderators do an exceptional job keeping the site running smoothly.
They give their time freely, and often go out of their way to help people. It can be a thankless task.
However, as a small way of saying "thank you", each month we give a $100 prize to a Moderator who's put in a little bit extra / stood out from the rest, over the course of the month.
Here are the recipients of the M.O.T.M. awards, since we kicked this off:

A huge thank you to all our moderators. Without your efforts, this site wouldn't be where it is today (without a shadow of doubt, the best of its kind on the web).

Hi Cooldaddy.
We've had quite a few signups today, so there's nothing wrong on our end I believe.
If no money has left your account, it means your payment didn't go through.
Please can you try again. Paypal are the 2nd largest payment processor in the world, I've never known them to have issues before.
Thank you for supporting the site

I was leafing through some profiles this afternoon, like you do, and couldn't believe some of the viewing figures.
34 people have over 100K unique pageviews.
That's more than Wembley Stadium, and all Superbowl Venues. Not quite up to Glastonbury standards, but not bad for an erotic story site!
A huge congratulations to those who've hit the 100K milestone. =d>

Has anyone removed one or more of their stories here for sale on Amazon? I'm intending on writing / selling on Amazon, but I have some stories here that I would like to delete here and publish under another name on KDP. Anything TOS / legal-wise wrong with that?
Thanks,
GW.
Hi GW,
In terms of removing your stories from here, you own them, so you are free to remove them as you see fit!
Amazon do not require exclusivety, unless you enrol in their "Kindle Select" program. Full terms are here.
The fact that the stories have been previously published, is neither here nor there.
As long as they aren't in the public domain, free, elsewhere, you should be fine (and even then, you can request a "price match" if you wish to go that route to get your work more widely read - people like free).
Feel free to PM me any specific questions you'd like guidance with.
Cheers,
Nicola

If you put India in the country box, you should find a few thousand members from India

(You might want to make the thread title more obvious. Like, "Who here's from India?" for example.)

All images larger than 150px x 150px, are resized. If it's an animation which is being resized, it will become a static image.
As a courtesy to other forum members, less than 100kb in size is preferred.
Animated avatars? Whatever next!
EDIT: Without warping the aspect ratio, this is the best I can manage:
