Maybe you or I won't, but I think the majority of people would expect that a higher level of membership for a higher cost should offer SOMETHING for their money, and I was merely posing the question of what more could be offered that wasn't currently available to gold members. Perhaps just an option to donate money without purchasing any type of premium on a one time basis.

That's a really good idea. Many people prefer to keep their profile totally clean or softcore only.

How about instead of a customised message, we add 3 options in the profile settings for friends' comments: Safe For Work / Softcore / Hardcore. The relevant symbol would be shown to the right of the section title so friends know what they should and shouldn't post.

Does that work?

We could go the route of people classifying their entire profile as either Safe For Work / Softcore / Hardcore, but there may be a few problems. What if a friend posts something hardcore on your profile, ignoring the Safe For Work indicator? And who would want a pop up saying, "This profile has been deemed hardcore, continue? Yes / No"?

Sorry, thinking out loud, taking the idea further.

1) a way of making notes against friends' names, or a way of recording chats longer - too difficult to remember everyone's personal details !

What makes me chuckle about people that put faith in numerology is that they fail to understand that not all cultures have used the base 10 math that current numerology is based on.

Quote by rohanbhatt71


i am not saying its cut and dried and applicable to everyone the same way, when u study numerology you are basically studying energies and patterns and behaviours, its relative to ones region and culture, not all number 9 women will live a bisexual or lesbian lifestyle but the ones who are in an environment where they can live it out will try to,

Quote by WanKaDDict


I am not rich or well off but not broke and earn the average for the UK, but in reality yes I do think and stick to this - I want to pay for what I get I don't to pay pay towards somebody else's clothes/ shoes and if someone is smaller than me then yes they should pay lees than me also.

Picking at detail or hurling rubbish insults to try and prove a point doesn't really add to this thread.

Thanks for the non flaming though.

Quote by WanKaDDict


Next time you are in a Supermarket or a clothes shop check out say the dresses and see what is the smallest compared to the largest size for the same design, you will find they are generally the same price.

Is this fair to the size 10 purchaser?

Quote by WanKaDDict

Just so you don't think I am a skinny runt, I am 14St 4Lb and 6' 1", and have a 3Month target to get to 13St. And wear XL/XXL tops, more expense on larger clothes would give me more incentive not less as seems to be most peoples logic on here.

You're very funny. I think that I'm going to like you.

I have just watched a program on fat people - too fat to work!

I'm sure that the producers picked the least intelligent people, but my question is - are these really big humans really stupid enough to think that the huge amounts of food that they consume doesn't add to their weight that along with doing basically nothing

It was mind blowing to listen to them.

Both this and the Katie Hopkins program has opened my eyes to the major problem of obesity across the Globe but mainly in the UK and USA.

Opinions welcome.
Ideal solutions welcome.

Hate to shatter too many illusions/dreams, but as someone who works in computing and repairs both personal and business machines...

No, I don't bother looking at other peoples files, people expect and deserve privacy. The only exception to this is when asked to recover files, and I need to check to make sure any recovered files are readable.

I work in the UK and we are bound by the "Freedom of Information Act", this governs what a business (or an individual within a business) can hold, circulate and use information regarding to clients. Were I to be fool enough to invade someone's privacy, and even worse to then circulate what was found, it could result in prosecution, loss of job, and goodbye to any re-employment within IT.

So unless you had the pictures set as your wallpaper, the repair guy is unlikely to have seen them, and too busy/professional to go routing through your pic's "just in case..." Also you state "both photos had been cropped to only show the top of her pubic hair" so even if they were set as wallpaper, the repair guy is unlikely to know whose public hair it is?

As always YMMV

No, it's not sarcasm.

My point is, is that Jeremy has written and published hundreds of stories over the years and would be well apt for the story moderating requirements.

Quote by SensualSharon
I'm wondering when after this 6 months is up and the inbox pm's will be stopped for the free members, I saw in another thread a man mention he had all his email, , etc ID's posted on his profile page. I'm wondering if like several dating sites I can think of where they do not allow that info on the profile page to force members to pay up. Since if their ID's are on the page, obviously they can be contacted offsite.

Many disguise their ID's in various ways to get around it, but once it's seen it's removed. One site is crafty, they have it appear to you, but to other members it's blocked, so people don't know unless another member tells them. I'm wondering if posting our contact info on our profile pages will even be allowed at all. If using the inbox system is taking up bandwith, server space what have you, I understand them cutting it, but if not allowing ID's on the pages, then no way to contact people other than to pay up.

Quote by tiddlywink


No, you're quite right, and that is my point exactly.

If you have prior knowledge of a company's deteriorating financial position, and it is apparent that the company is teetering on the edge of closure, then you would be mad to buy a service from that particular service provider.

Thank you. I could not have said it better myself.

And what's more, a company has no legal obligation to reimburse its customers' loses after closure.

Quote by Fugly
After reading the entire thread and understanding both sides of the story, I wonder if there may be a solution that will suit all instead of the bickering.

How would it be if there were two free memberships?

One free membership for just reading stories and one free membership for just the social side of Lush? I know that many come for just the stories and many just come on here for their friends/chat/forums. Maybe this could be discussed with admin?

As for those who do not want to pay for membership because they don't have paypal or credit card, you can simply send me the money via post and I will happily gift you the membersip

As an avid profile surfer, and I mean AVID! and a serial forum poster, I don't think I'm way off the mark.

I have a poem at 15,000+ views

My erotic poems have anywhere from 2000,10,000 views. Not bad for a poem writer.....hahahha

Quote by simplyjohn


Thats quite a profound statement. On what basis do you make that statement?

Personally I read poems since I just dont have the concentration/attention span to read stories (unless they are quite short) and enjoy reading good poetry.
