Ben, have you considered how different things would have been today if nobody had stepped forward to buy the site?

Swinging Heaven would now, or very shortly, be nothing but a memory.

For the good or the bad of the "NEW" Swinging Heaven, we should all go away and put boxing gloves on to stop the use of the keuboard and let the "NEW" owners get on with what they have promissed.

Just put mine on so >>>>>>>>>>> Bye for now.

Totally nowt to do with the "kerfuffle" - but hey - shoot me. I've been thrown out of better threads than this flipa.gif

The single most thing I miss about not having my 'tache any longer is that I can't still "taste" HLB in the mornings, or a for a couple of hours afterwards like when the flavour and essence used to hang around.

Something just happened and she said "That's one for the "Marmite Thread" - but Dawnie brought marmite up here. (So it's her fault )

Martin, at present Jon and I host our pics on our own web pages, with a link to that page on our signature on SH.

Will we still be able to do this, or must any pics be hosted on SH in future in order for people to see them?

We've never had a SH pics page and would prefer to keep it that way, but are not sure if you are going to allow outside links to such pages, as is the case at present?

Well... I was going to stick around and watch with the sort of fascination I'd watch a dead fox decompose in the road.

Hope you don't mind. icon_biggrin.gif

Martin, if you like I can send you a list of URLs supporting this. I think you would call them mirror sites. These include some mirror sited, connecting the site to 'escorts'. This was I believe just an attempt to pull in visitors from google, but it is the kind of thing I wouldn't like on Swinging Heaven. It would be unnecessary and would change the atmosphere here.

I will post the URLs on a separate message. I am not sure if this is allowed, but if so they can be deleted.

OI Dammie, you can't blame where you put your posts on me lol2.gif

You know I still prefer no 'tache' so you will have to find another place to store your 'pussy flavourings' rotflmao.gif

Well, you have spent so much time bleating like a sheep today, it is hardly surprising that the site of a dead predator would be of interest to you.

Look out your window - do you see the four horsemen of the Apocalypse bearing down on you? No? Then you can be fairly sure that the world is not ending because of this.

I keep reading things that i agree with, Silk and Big G being the latest... although i hope they do decide to stay I know how they feel and i think a lot of other regulars are wondering if we are going to become the freak show to pull punters in.

I'm going to stick around and see how it goes, but personally i think there'll be a steady decline in posters of the calibre of S and G and others, or we'll be hamstrung by commercialism that makes certain topics forbidden or hard to post on.

There are loads of other concerns, but above and beyond everything I'd like to see this community stick together and as importantly the "spirit" remain... if either of those things go, then the decline will be inevitable and sharp and we'll all pretty much end up elsewhere i think.

Excellent post S n G ..... I'm going tohang around a while though.


cheers xx

You know, a lot of the people are worrying about what the new owners will do to the site!

If we can get Martin and Elliott and the rest to a few Munches might to turn out that we can ASSIMULATE them. Resistance is futile!!

Which of the beautiful ladies on this site looks closest to 7of9 then?

John & Shel

Any objections if I hang around a bit too? No plans on leaving just yet. I've never tried Marmite, so I don't know if I like it or not. Can I smear some on your breasticals, Dawn? That'd give it the best chance of a positive association for me icon_biggrin.gif

But if you ran it over in the first place and didn't take avoiding action dunno.gif

I really believe that SH will never be the same again, that is inevitable. It was changing anyway as it became more popular as a "perving site" for disillusioned males (not wholly, or solely I should add). That is why the Photo ads section gets so much traffic.
How much it changes as a community is really down to the members, those on here now and on a regular basis.
So, if you don't take avoiding action or actually "drive", you're going to run over that fox and sit there watching it decompose.

well i have read all the posts on here and its took a hell of a long time.some good others very bad and worried that the sh we love will be lost forever icon_sad.gif but the overriding fact of the matter is sh has new owners and wheather thats good or bad will ultimatly be down to the new owners and what they wish to do with the site.the new owners aint stupid they know if they make a pigs ear implementing the new features that they want to put on here and then god forbid they start charging to use the site then the site will surely die and a cloned sh site will be formed.the new owners have clearly got a tough job ahead to keep the members of this wonderfull site happy but like so many others i am in no position to judge untill i see the changes to the site and then and only then can we have a genuine rant if the changes promised(free to all users) are put on the site. i wish the new owners all the best and i hope you make this site even better than it is today which is not going to be easy
