Jimgle bells, jingle beels, Santa Sucks!
Dear Santa,
We've been very good this year, so would like:- :small-print:
A glow in the dark vibrator - I'm always grabbing the wrong thing in the dark. :doh:
A Minoru 3D web cam and glasses for everybody - a 'must' for the chatroom cam. :scared:
A Rovio mobile web cam - so I can keep track of the other half. smackbottom
Wii Sex - for those lonely nights.. :bounce:
A small Pacific Island - well I can wish! :thumbup:
Merry Christmas all.:thrilled:
What an excellent thread question!
We've now been sat here for nearly 2 hours argueing this one!!
The consensus is
Hot Chocolate
Any buscuit with chocolate or for an early morning 'dunk' a croissant or madeline.
Tea
Herbal Tea - why waste a good buscuit?
Standard Tea (PG etc) - plain Hob Nobs, Rich Tea or plain Digestive.
Proper Tea - (Earl Grey etc) - it's not socially acceptable to 'dunk'.
Coffee
Instant - who cares!
Latte - Coconut buscuits of course!
Expresso - Can't find a buscuit small enough to dunk in the stupid cup!
Americano - gotta be Oreo's
Freshly Ground Beans - Digestives or Ginger Nuts
We're now off to see what's best 'dunked' in a selection of wines and beers.

When you log into the site, it shows you people that you might be interested in and if you have extra's, it shows you who has looked at your profile. The picture that shows, I believe, is the one in your profile.
Now I do know that something was being put in place so that when you logged in to those pictures, they were not going to be full on genital shots all over your homepage.
I think it is something to do with that dunno

Spot on Dawnie :beer:
Quote by markz
what sort of pond are we talking............ lol

It's a very nice pond - full of slime, algae, and bottom dwellers :scared:
Whilst I understand the 'reasoning' behind having a non-adult picture uploaded for use on SH and that a selection of ads / events and forum postings are used as 'tasters' of the sites content for prospective new members, We might not want our genitals plastered all over the web is precicely the reason I also don't want our mug shots plastered there as well!!
There is no reason that the site cannot code a 'default' image (eg the site logo flower) instead where the profile picture would normally appear on these non-member pages..
And yes, an endless stream of Sausages and Fish Sarnies floating across my Home Page people who've view my profile or those I might be interested in does show a certain lack of flair on some members behalf when selecting a profile photo, it is infinately more interesting than the default 'gray-out' now appearing..
As a full member - I want to use an 'erotic' photo to catch the attention of other members and find others to swing with and increase our success rate! Unless of course I can find away of grafting on a Cumberland Sausage Ring :grin:
Quote by Steve
I agree....
The forum would be full of kebabs and cocks as avatars....
I more a breast man myself....

Who said anything about the forum avatars - we're on about the main profile picture here!
banghead
Quote by MadMax
Its only your main profile pics, you can have whatever you like in your gallery lol . Basically it is to stop cock shots from being seen on friends feeds, your e-mails, who has viewed your profile and events etc. You can imagine as an example looking at an attending event list to just see a "row of sausages" in the pictures.
Also comments on stories etc are public so we had the potential problem with minors. I have to say we have only had two negative comments so far about it (including yours).

So, as a non-member I can read a graphic sex story even if i'm under age.... confused:
I can click on a front page random add and read some graphic member requirements... :?:
Oh and I can only recognise people by their sausages.... I'll be lost in the future dunno
The site has the ability to 'haze' photos on the index page ads - why not apply this to the stories comments?...
Only approved, public, non adult photos can be your profile picture.
Who created that rule - it's crackers on an 'Adult Site'!
Should I upload a picture of the fish pond instead.... or is that too graphic for an adult site???
Quote by BrightonGeezer
I often use my iPhone here, the only trouble is I cant get into the chat room.

Yo Geezer,,,,
As the i-phone doesn't like pop-ups that much.... try the link under the main Chatroom icon which loads the chatroom into the main browser - that's how i get it on mine! banghead

So where do the staines area people hang out in the chat rooms??
I'm in staines for a week (training course!) at the start of dec, would be good to chat with some people in the area , see if I can make that connection and meet up that week.
I have had a look through the servers but couldn't find anything obvious.
cheers
jack xx

The local chatroom for Staines is either the Surrey or Southcoast rooms on Chat 1 - that's where you will usually find the Staines Massive.
A good question or a thankless task!
Well someone has to do it or anarchy would reign in the Chatrooms!
Nobody gets it right every-time including Chatroom Ops! We all make mistakes (well Mrs Gu Mk1 & II were). We all learn from these mistakes to make us better in the future.
They are all (unpaid) volunteers - so those that are must be committed to doing it (I hope!).
There are never enough, but you can have too many....
You don't need to be an Op to help others - imparting knowledge is a gift to everyone..
A complaint from one is only half the story..
Would I do it - Yes, if I felt happy that I was doing it for the right reasons and could provide the commitment. No, if it's really a burden that would get in the way of why I'm here.
So, it's all down to a personal choice to be or not to be an Op...

Everyone is entitled to their point GnV.
You may disagree with ours and we may disagree with yours.
To clarify-
At no point in the orginal post do we advocate either us or other users sueing the site for any reason whatsoever. We just want to use the service and its functions that we are paying for. We're not asking for a credit or refund - simply that the management look at their contract with the hosting company and get a resolution quickly.
The Chatroom Ops are a dedicated team of voulenteers - but people will reach a point where 'enough is enough'. We were lucky and have an 'Extras' account and could access the chatrooms via the extras lounge. It was quite frankly appalling watching some of the comments posted that night that the 'on-duty' Op had to endure and was even worse the following day when the bulk of the users returned and the morning op also had to take the flack. It is a testament to them that they did so with good grace and professionalism.
Quote by Steve

Since the last support post (15 Aug 08) 'issues being resolved' the site has had at least two major crashes on the chatroom logon server(1) - no update has been posted by the site operators or even an apology for the service disruption to non-extras members. dunno
How much does it take to put on the main site - Sorry the chatroom logon server is currently down our hosting company hope to resolve this within the next few hours?
Those that don't read the support post and try and logon, only then have themselves to blame!

Quote by admin in another thread
Our sincerest apologies, our technical departments are working on a remedy, double speed.

Then what is the point of having Chatroom News on the main Chatroom Page if it is not to provide communication?
Does the site expect users to trawl through hundreds of forum posts and threads to find an apology?

An Open Letter to the Owners of SH
Dear Owners,
The recent problems with the site, especially the Chatrooms is making our SH Community a laughing stock...............

Really, where is SH being a laughing stock? fact or your persception?
13.4 We do not warrant that the functions of the website or the Services will be uninterrupted or error free, that defects will be corrected or that the Swinging Heaven website or the server that makes it available are free of viruses or bugs.
From the T&C.
Errors / breakdowns happen...........
We are members of a number of similar sites as a lot of other SH members. When this site is not available it does get discussed on other sites. We can see the effect that these conversations have on non-SH members and the negative perception that creates. If we were sitting on SH and people from another web site came on moaning - what perception of that of that website would you have?
Personally, I wouldn't like to argue 13.4 in a court of law. We appreciate breakdowns happen, software screws up - that's not the point! We all accept that it does, the point is that paying for a service to be provided consitutes a contract in law in the UK - 3rd party providers are not exempt where this forms part of the overall package at the point of connection.
Bilge! - if I understand you correctly..
In English contract law you can contract out (or in!) anything you like. Sue ex-parte if you like, but it will cost you dear and there is little chance of success. Remember that the other side's costs could be against you! Unless the Contract can be held to be unfair within the very strict terms of legislation defining unfairness, your chances are very slim. They probably become even slimmer when the contract provider has to rely on third parties over whom they have no control themselves.
As an example, Microsoft acknowledge that there is about 10% bug-rate in their software (presumably after SP2 lol ). With billions of lines of code in their software - much of which relies on 3rd party additions, that amounts to a sizeable possible down time but you don't see many (if any) successful lawsuits against them!
Many people complain about Microsoft software, but billions still use it worldwide because, for the most part, it suits their need. I don't see the SH issue any differently; it's the de-facto industry standard that everyone talks about and tries to emulate - as indeed you admit!
I don't think you do!
I am not avocating sueing SH in anyway whatsoever!!
One is just trying to get the service one is paying for.
