Observation

I remember when a profile that certified yours was deleted, the certification would disappear from your own profile's certification list. Somewhere over time, SLS had changed that. Now, when a profile certified yours and then the owner deletes their profile, that certification stays on your profile.

Shelly certified my profile and eventually deleted her profile. I at least have that memory, in writing from Shelly, saying we met and share the same birthday. Shelly is missed and wish she would come back to SLS, if she is still this side of the dirt.

Years ago I heard Shelly was having some serious health issues and shortly after, deleted their profile. I never heard more after that.

I am in touch with a few of the “older” posters but lost touch with most of them over the years.

anyone know how Lost is doing? or any of the others from back then?

Yup... SYOCIAGTTM was the group. The wine goblet was engraved with Lost In PA.

Mad'am Lost... She and I share the same date of birth!

Indeed it was...

Was a fun time back then.

The golden age of the fora, Lost was one of a kind but there were so many great (and not so great) personalities back then.

I've met dozens of forum posters over the years, fewer in recent times but I'm looking forward to meeting two new participants this weekend who are in town for French Quarter Fest. Also looking forward to seeing a long-time friend, Peghey19, who I will be picking up from the airport tonight.

LOL

That's one of the classics from the Golden Age of the Forum.

Just an Observation. :-)

SYODIGTTM

I'm a relative newcomer, having paid $149 in Feb 2014.

I can vouch for Scamp's statement of meeting people after paying for a membership. He and I met in 2010 or 2012... Somewhere in that timeframe. We met at a vanilla, lifestyle group dinner. Sadly, the group did not take off and people moved to different areas of the country.

Scamp, I still have the engraved wine goblet that was given out that night during the dinner! Do you remember what it was engraved with?

I think I paid $99 for my lifetime membership in 2005 for my nicatnight sm membership.

I was able to transfer it to this profile when rabbit and I got together in 2015.

Based solely on the number of people I’ve met through SLS, it’s been a great investment.

~Scamp

If it was the same as 2003, it was $100.

I can’t remember. How much was the lifetime membership in 2004?

Lifetime 2003 as well.

The LS events locally, one in particular, are more consistently posted on this site compared to other sites so that's one reason we stick around. We also check out the hot dates and matching new members. Unfortunately over the years, in our area, the frequency of new member registrations has steadily declined and we tend to connect with new people on other sites.

Funly, you've been here longer than I have.

Lifetime in 2003 for us

Me three for the lifetime membership. Though I could not tell you the math equivalent right now of how much per month. I did pay for the lifetime membership probably September 2008.

.43 cents/month for me.

Me too.

I've been on here so long, I have probably paid 25 cents a month.

I bought a lifetime subscription, otherwise I probably wouldn't still be active here.

There are maybe two dozen or so people that regularly post in Politics out of the thousands of people on this site.

You may be correct that most people here are not active. We don't look for playmates here for much the same reason. If we find someone great, but we have found other places more to our liking.

But I am here (the wife never posts) for the friendships I have developed over a couple of years here...

Observation: I do what I want.

We've met members of this site we otherwise wouldn't have met because we first "met" in SLS Forum topics discussing subjects other than sex/swinging.

And there are some we haven't met in person yet, but maybe some day.

Just sayin'.
