[quote user=sudsy][quote user=serens40]8. Dislikes: Smoking, people who drop litter, chewing gum, rhubarb, gratuitous bad manners
And what has rhubarb ever done to you mr suds 
vegetable rights and peace!!!:giggle:[/quote]
Serens - Rhubarb was the only thing I was excused from the table for as a child! Even the sight of it made me want to vomit.
A tragic, guilty secret, I know - but we've all got skeletons in our closets ...[/quote]

Pandora if is the same one I am thinking of then I also reported him pretending to be a her...
Anyway, I have been thinking about this issue this evening. Of course SP want to drum up some new business and make some more money by getting some new members on here, but I am still perplexed as to how giving out free lifetime memberships would achieve this? Unless they are counting on them then signing up for the premium extras? Not really sure...
But if it was my business and I wanted to make a bit more dosh during this credit crunch then here are a few of my ideas of how it could have POSSIBLY worked a little better... and they are just ideas... you can either lynch me or agree...lol
1) Of course it is a good idea to reward some long time users of the site in some way. Maybe this could have been achieved by giving them a free years membership for every X number of years they are fully paid up members? Or even after a certain number of years of active membership then give them a lifetime membership. ie some sort of loyalty programme.
2) Instead of giving out free lifetime memberships to all of those who joined in 2005, maybe only give the lifetime memberships to those who have been fully paid members since then or who have been active on the site, ie by checking their established status or do they have comments - this shows they have been active.
3) To those who did join back in 2005 (and yes they are all important and without them we would not have the site) and if they maybe did not fit the criteria above, give them a month or 2 or any set period of time free membership to reel them in. Then when this free period runs out they might have met some people/got addicted to the chatroom/got laid, whatever, so then it is their choice if they choose to pay membership to have access all areas again. This would then at least drum up some new revenue for SP - like free tasters you get in the supermarket.
4) For new members, maybe give them a set short period of free access all areas on the site to reel them in - same principle as above. Then once they are hooked they can choose to cough up some fees if they do so wish.
5) Get some more mods in! Given the issues lately in the chatroom it really would have been useful to have some more SP mods. I only know of 2 or 3 who I see in the chatroom regularly and they have been working tirelessly and thanklessly over the last couple of weeks. So thank you to those who have been really helping out in there lately xxx. But I do really think admin could do with employing some more. Anyone else think this?
Just a few ideas of course - I don't claim to be a marketing genius or anything but something along these lines would have been useful in weeding out some of the less genuine people I and others have been moaning about. At the same time of course it may have weeded out some genuine peeps that possibly just didn't have any luck on the site. But hey you can't please everyone can you. But there are ways to at least please most people I am sure.
Right enough of my 2 cents worth... ahhh fook I reckon I've put in 92 cents worth by now so best shut up now. lol
It's either next week - Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday - or early April.
Any particular dates good/bad?

ok our thoughts!!!!!
firstly we agree that it is ludicrous!! give free memberships to those that support the site and as a loyalty bonus if they have been PAYING members since that date , those that joined on the free membership status or that reduced themselves to the free members status then in our opinion should NOT have received this loyalty bonus, they obviously left for a reason , same as those that didnt pay never liked it enough to start with!!
if you left and have only come back because its free then you couldnt have been that bothered about it in the first place, could you ???
admins response that the free membership is to those who helped establish the site is bullshit!! how can they have helped establish it if they was on free memberships and didnt contribute to the site???
those cheapskates returning becuase its free then try remember why you left the site in the first place!!!
personally we welcome all , new and old as long as the same lines of decency and respect are adhered too but why will some (not all) give a toss about the rules when its free for life????
for the amount of people now frequenting the chatroom then the number of mods needs to be increased(not volunteering) and these mods should be helped out as their task in keeping some control is escalating out of control
so to finish , we welcome new and old members and look forward to making some new pervy friends, we agree with a loyalty bonus for those that have paid and kept paying since 2005, WE DO NOT AGREE WITH FREEBIES FOR THOSE THAT STOPPED PAYING OR NEVER PAID
oli ur thread is worthy of the forum and your points are valid as the responses show and it is a forum so you and the rest of us have every right to air our views, gripes or whinging(as some people refer to them)in this the correct place
cant see how support can do anything about it now so maybe we grit our teeth and bare it and hope the not so polite ones get bored and crawl back under that 2005 stone from whence they were last seen
