The wall again

It’s not what us lifetime (or paid) members spent, it’s what we were told we were going to receive. Adding features is one thing, and quite frankly, expected. But losing valuable features, such as email, is what the constant groaning is about. Add what you want, but don’t take away what is successful, and wanted by the vast majority of paid, and paying members. I find it interesting how many of my “paid” member friends are now “free” members. They are speaking with their wallets !

Although some may reference being "Short changed" with the lifetime membership, I agree that that would be hard to accomplish as it was always a sweetheart deal.

I have never complained about that. What gets my goat is that there were specific things that I signed on to have available and then those things just disappeared and made this site far less desirable from our perspective. I know that we are not the only ones to complain about that and we were all told , essentially, to go pound sand.

The money was well spent on our part for what we got. I would have preferred that the value had continued.

After 10 years as lifetime members we've probably spent about one dollar a month to hang around here.

It cracks us up to read lifetime members who've been here for years like us complaining that they've been short-changed.

Party on Wayne! Some of us appreciate you.

p.s. That doesn't mean we love all the changes.

Weell, THAT'S one post that probably won't be deleted...

sls_WayneC that was out of line. You should never discuss financials publicly. PM the member and call them on their BS as it were but to disclose any amount they got "paid" is wrong. BTW the first part (minus the affiliate dollar remark) is not a problem Everyone knows what a membership cost and getting one 10 years ago even at the current price (heck I forgot what we paid) is a damn good deal and would have been enough without adding in the rest. I don't get how folks complain about purchasing a lifetime membership years ago and it not having gotten more than their money's worth several years later. I understand how you can feel your voice does not matter because they have your money versus someone who pays monthly and might not resub over something but change happens and when you paid years ago you felt it was worth it and obviously it was or you would not still be here. Even with the changes and things we don't like I'm pretty sure we would still buy a lifetime and we have only been here a little over a year. We have met a few friends and gone to a few parties we otherwise would never have known about.

@sls_WayneC, that last reply was unprofessional. Never discuss $$ relating to your company or your members in public. Had you simply vented to the member in private, fine, but out in the open on a forum is uncalled for. Max

<p><span style="font-family:tahoma,verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif">14 years and 2 days ago you used $130 of your affiliate earnings to get a Lifetime membership. Over that same period of time, you have received just over $3000 in affiliate payouts. I strongly feel that this company has given you a fair deal.</span></p>

Big: With all these upgrades..... so sad that we bought a lifetime membership, what over 10 years ago. This used to be a great site, now it is getting lame

We feel same way. In your case if you figure a fifty year lifespan after you joined that would come to three dollars a year. You could ask for a prorated refund telling them to keep three dollars for every year you used it

I am not particularly against the idea of the wall although it seems like it should be optional, not something forced onto the membership. However, as it is it's almost completely useless without a timestamp on the messages. Someone posts "looking for some fun this evening", is that tonight or 2 months ago......who knows?

I simply can not figure out the wall. Who are the people on my wall? I know only one or two of them. So why/how am I so blessed to have so many young men, and couples who have no connection to my profile or anyone I am favorites or friends with. I view the wall, in its current configuration as a useless invasion of my privacy. Someone enlighten me

I'm becoming generally positive about the Wall (I don't consider it My Wall). Anything that generates eyes on our profile I consider positive. I can also mention the SLS Wine Group we administer on the Wall, which we are prohibited from doing within our profile, which makes NO sense.

However the following are things I really dislike about the Wall:

1. Posts by Friends are listed first forever. That's fine for a day, but I don't want to see their posts for months on top. The Hide feature will probably fix this, but when? This is one reason we turn down Friend requests or add Friends, if they post we don't want to scroll past the same post everyday. Everyone else's is listed by date, so as soon I see the new ones I'm done. Seeing new comments on older posts is hit and miss (WHY?), so I've given up looking further.
2. To get eye's on our profile, our post has to be public, but you can only do a public post via the app. Frankly, that is the ONLY reason I use the App. Let me public post via the web site.
3. Have a fly over on all profiles who post (also Hot Date). We are only interested in couples over 50. If someone makes an intelligent Wall post, that I think I might be a couple we want to meet (i.e. My eyes on them) I would like to know that they are in our age range. I don't want to click on a profile and see they are 20 or 30 somethings, and then they think these Senior Citizens are interested in them from their Who's viewed me. Yes I know age doesn't matter, but stage in life does matter and that equates to age. We are more, and looking for more, than pieces and parts.

My wall button is up with the Bliss cruises. Such a waste.

Really weird thing happened while selecting "Comment" on profile, TWO UNRELATED PROFILE comments opened up.

Today blocked four profiles on our wall

A fifth Profile "Tra777" I could not bloc k as I get
"Sorry, this user has chosen to have their profile hidden from Couples. "

I used report option as "HIDE" has not worked.

As a paid Lifetime couple this is very annoying

Wall is awful. I see zero use or value in it. Waste of time

Oh well, I just noticed for the first time there is a menu option for MY WALL, over there <----------. I'd never noticed that and sure won't go back, even if I liked anything written there I have no idea when it was written so where is the relevance.

I no longer have a WALL and since I'm no techno wizard I'm guessing I got rid of it by clicking on "manage homepage" and selecting OFF for all the items that had been listed........voila, no wall

Please end this wall project it is a complete failure.

We are not enhanced by the wall.
In fact be a rather annoyed with it.
You have taken things away from us that we enjoyed and you have added things that we do not find any need for.
Can you please create some sort a function to make it go away ?

Wayne for the "developers" and a Delete feature so we dont have to see or use it.. with people who we have never met, seen or want to associate with!

Why isn't there any dates on this wall? I got posts I've been seeing for 3 weeks, mixed along with ones from who know when........ Cause there are NO dates on the posts

My wall is just a bunch of whiny single guys who ask "Is anyone here real?" ad nauseam.

<p><em><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family:tahoma,verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:14px">"Are posts check by LS similar to Hot Dates?"</span></em></p>

<p>No, posts are not checked. You can report a post. It is handled like we do these forums and the chat-rooms.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>I will suggest to the developers that they add a timestamp to postings.</p>

then they would provide a pay link to cam with them.

But SLS won't let you put in an Email address in your profile to avoid the SLS IM
