after reading all this thread and after much deliberation I have come up with a couple of questions.
1.do I get a free ringtone with membership
2. does this then mean I will get one a week for the next 6 months at Â£1.50 per tone.

Regards to Badges Logos or T shirts or anything else that has a brand on it.

We are in the process of giving the site a few improvements that include a spring clean that could include the logo. You see this is the problem we are wanting to sponser the production of the badges, caps, pens along with perhaps T shirts or anything else that you want. In other words If you want them within reason we can help fund them!.

The current logo does not lend itself to well to being printed, before I get hit again here are the options.

1. Live with it as we know over 30% of people do not like change!
2. Put some alternative designs together and take a vote on it
3. Simply come back to it at a later stage

In the short term please feel free to use what you want any suggestions on points 1-3 welcome

Martin one thing you need to be aware of is the clandestine nature of this site. Very few people here advertise the fact they are here. Swingers tend to keep to themselves. So while there will no doubt be interest in SH cups n stuff, it may well be less than you think.

We do have a pin badge and you will note there are no pics of it anywhere. It is not the logo, for the very reason that we don't want everyone to know what it means

As for logo change, I don't thnk the site will implode if we come up with new ideas, just I don't expect many people to want to wear it to work

If you are not an active community participent then after 12 months free premium upgrade your account will be reduced to what you have now!. Then you can decide to use it like that or pay to have it as premium again to use the extra bells and whissles.

I've not been too unhappy so far - been content to let the more intelligent carry my burden for me. But this raises something which impinges on me directly.

I spend up to six months each year travelling and even at the best of times I am not a profilic contributor. I've just looked it up - 0.42 posts a day. The next time I go away for five or six months, will I come back to find my free membership terminated?

On point one, can I suggest that by rounding things to the nearest pound like M&S do, will remove the need for change and appease those that dont like it.

Can I make a suggestion that you obtain the "official" SH pin first? I'm actually quite keen on the current layout/colour scheme and the pins are very uncomplicated and the logo used could easily be replicated. If you just use the same logo fine, however, if you're going to add web addresses and the like then hmm not so sure, a lot of us are in this lifestyle and have families to protect, so I'm a little wary of merchandising it too much.

Swinging isn't like dating ........ you can promote a dating site quite well, promoting swinging on the other hand could prove detrimental to the lifestyle and participants. You must be wary of media interests ... according to the newspapers we are all raving sex mad perverts who are fair game to be paraded and exposed (so to speak). Marketing it be merchandising it could prove very dangerous and ring a lot of alarm bells.

However, :giggles: I'd love an SH pen

Regarding Logo etc

Yes I understand what you are saying about being outgoing well if that is the case we will just perhaps clean the look and feel up a bit for the site.

Thanks for your input, much appreciated

3. After the first 12 months one of two things will happen

If you are an active community participent, ie a genuine user and contributer to this site by posting in the forum or submitting dogging locations or storys etc, you will continue to get free premuim membership ongoing. We will consult you on the gate for this in the next few months.

If you are not an active community participent then after 12 months free premium upgrade your account will be reduced to what you have now!. Then you can decide to use it like that or pay to have it as premium again to use the extra bells and whissles.

Basically this is the theory, we never want any of the existing community members to pay for anything. If you are active you will never pay!. If on the other hand you are not a community spirited person and come here just to look at peoples pictures then expect to have to pay to do that to support the non paying community members.

Please please please, before i get kicked bitten and bruised again as I said we will discuss together what makes a community member and agree that before the 12 months are up.

Can i ask a question in regards to this....Obviously this covers those very well in the forums... but.I know a lot of people who use the chatroom and only come into the forums just to put their name down for munches.....can i ask how they will be covered after 12 months....as it been stated before, different people use different parts of the site and they aren't always intertwining...

you are probably sick of being grilled by now..... .

Fabio,

I'm the thread-killer. I just get ignored.

Well I lived without SH before. But lots of people enjoyed my tales, yes? Maybe even found them useful.

Maybe I will have to find an internet cafe every week or so and log on, make a post and keep my licence. But sometimes you can't.

Fabio, I would imagine that because of the introduction of a universal login this would be covered under that. (apologies for poor grammar I'm so tired).

ooo my god my head as turned to mush

so many questions so many opinions
my head hurts

well firstly
we want a pin

secondly
at first i was pissed with it all but after reading what elliot and martin have been saying (naughty naughty for blowing your top martin) im am some what put at ease.

thirdly
we need to all stop bitching and face the fact that it as happened and ther is nothing we can do about it they have said they will listen to us and we have no option but to believe them and hope for the best so for all our benefits lets stop seeing them as the enemy and try and help them as and when we can.

its happened lets deal with it and make the best ov it

so welcome to you all and hope you enjoy the community as much as we do

love katy and kev

Elliot or Martin :-

Take note that the last post on here was over one hour ago (by my puter) which possibly means the shouting is all over.

It's a good sign

Or maybe like you, all gone down the pub for a well earned one
