I was stunned when I logged on this morning and saw the changes to the board. For eighteen months I had been left feeling there had been no acknowledgment that gay meant gay. The effective message that I was getting was that as far as development went I was basically a picky bi chick.

Even with the increased interaction that came with Susy's presence didn't help much because I knew full well MF poses were going to get more votes in the polls.

BUT now we have a thread that shows a formal acknowledgment from the development team that they have a actual LGBT customer base! I don't know if I'm the only one who get's how big a deal that is.

I know we want more, we have a definite right to want more, and we shouldn't go silent, but if we are going to highlight the bad we need to acknowledge the good.

To the development team directly, thank you. I hope it helps you to understand that a mere acknowledgment of our existence is a HUGE step forward... to me at least.

I agree with you Janine and I like to point out that it's important to understand that it will still take quite some time.

I think us users who have been on the forum for a while should guide new users so we can keep the forum a nice and pleasant place without constant nagging and screaming for instant changes.

I'm satisfed about this......i ask Susy to start different poll for different orientation and she did it. This is gonna be a little step forward, but really wellcome, cause this give more chance to all. The surprise was the 3some poll: i don't expect it!

Thank you Susy, for this first "experiment" and sorry if we are getting too insistent whit our request!

Eh, we need to not go quiet either. It's a balance, you need to acknowledge the good without letting the bad slide. I HAVE been at it for eighteen months, and it took two of REALLY raising a ruckus to finally get them making the acknowledgment. Making noise is part of the process, but you need to build on it.

Having only been here for a month I dont know what the struggles are to get more poses of the different orientations. From what I have sen in the short time I have been here is that there is progress, just not as fast as users want.

The trick to that New is when you compare it to MF, and look over the life of AChat. That it's happening has come about because LGBT users have been making their presence felt. If they hadn't I can't believe this change would have come about.

That's not because of ignorance on the part of the development team as much as they needed to be aware of our existence. They have been made aware, and are taking steps. The process is not over, and won't be over till the playing field has been leveled out, but again, acknowledging the good is as if not more important as calling attention to the bad.

I want to say thank you to the team for correcting that omission of the wall sex on Adera's winning vote.

Our gal not only gets a new receiving pose but a chance to experience her idea!

(modified to add: thanks to new friend who approached and offered to show the pose... nicely done... and best the full range of options given that were present in the MF version (sans vagina...)

I thought they did a tremendous job on the adaption...

Keep it up Team

It does make for a great MS pose with these options so I have nothing to complain about. :D

Again, now is not the time to fall silent, but giving credit that is deserved is important, and credit is VERY due.

I agree Janine. but the way to make aChat good for all orientation is still long.....we are going to suggest more and give our hint on the exsisting poses!

Call them on the bad, and praise them on the good. I'm just glad they're SHOWING us that they are listening.

I may be wrong but the changes in Achat policy match with the arrival of Susy. We can't say if it's because the dev-team have seen that they need somebody to make the interface between them and their customers or if it's Susy who proposed herself but in the end,we can see the result. So of course thanks to the dev-team for having modelized our desires but a BIG thanks to Susy for all she did
