Hi,
I have a few ideas that might ease the issue of gift whores. The first is to have a check box in one's profile to identify yourself as a gift whore. This way people can hide you or find you depending on their preference.
The second idea is to let vip users buy clothes they can loan to free users while they are in their room. So basically vips would own the clothes that they want to see the free users in. A few options to this follow. The vip can dress the free user. The other option is the free user can raid the vips closet. It would be up to the vip as to which option they want. This would apply to makeup and nails and things as well. Basically a head to toe makeover of a free user per the vip's desire. To speed the process. The vip can save various outfit and makeup configurations.
So in the first idea; whores can more easily be identified, found, or hid. This way no one is being surprised by a whore. In the second, there would be less need for gifts as free users would have access to clothes. The best part is the vip's would get to see their partners dressed the way they like, if both parties are agreeable to it.
Another issue free users run into is that their vip partners want them to be able to cum and slow the action. My thought on this is if you had an option that vip user's could purchase that would allow any free user they are with to cum and change speed. This way vip users don't have to gift free users in the first place. If a vip purchases this option then any partner they are with can cum and change speed.
-
Whore only would be shown as whores, if they admit. I'm sure, many would disagree to be one, but ask for a little present once in room.
Being a VIP-member sounds a good idea indeed. Question is, how much would it cost, because if it's too much, nobody would buy it. If it's just a small extra fee, AChat wouldn't get enough money.
-
hi lover,
the free user would not be vip under my proposed change. they would only be able to cum and change speed while with the vip user who purchased the option. a free user could always upgrade to vip and get all the benefits of that. not sure what achat might charge for such an option.
a free user may still want to upgrade to vip since that would be the only way they could have their own persistent identity and have control. poses of their choice etc. the changes i am talking about just add enjoyment for the vip user and require a willing free user to participate.
the main goal behind the proposed changes is to reduce the need to be a gift whore in the first place.
-
Yes, I got what you mean.
Now we have 3 kind of members: Free user, free member and prem. I see your suggestion as a 4th option: VIP-member. Prem who pay extra to be VIP.
To be VIP, you have to pay more of course and that is where my question is beginning. Maybe there could be more benefits than just inviting free members, who are in room, to cum or wear other clothes. I haven't thought about this idea before, but it could be the chance to indivualize your room, more options for your avi, having your own poker room...
In the end, it only does make sense if it's not too expensive to become VIP AND also gives money to the A-team.
-
to me free users, like myself, don't have the money to play the game in the first place. so those people will probably never pay for anything anyhow. so at least this way, the vip users can have more fun. they are the one's paying for stuff. currently, they are paying free users to enhance the vip game play. so this just enhances a vip users game play but keeps their money with them where it belongs. even though i am a free user, i hate all the gift whoring. i think it is wrong to shake down vip users.
currently, vip users are the ones paying one way or the other. so hopefully these ideas would help cut down on the whoring. i'm not sure what you mean about three types of users. do you mean:
free user
vip user
free user who is temporarily vip due to gift from a vip user
if that's what you mean, i guess you are right. i hadn't thought of it that way. my proposed idea would still leave a free user as a free user. they wouldn't be able to buy their own clothes or cum and slow speed on their own. but it sounds like you get what i mean. i think i'm the confused one now. trying to explain stuff i'm thinking is difficult for me. sorry.
-
Its a good idea & interesting. I think these are the 4 options Lover is referring to ...
The 4 member options are :
1. Free user = basic, never bought a membership and use gifts to play. They cannot usually gift. (Unless this has changed recently)
2. Free user who is between subscriptions = They have bought a membership previously but have not renewed. They can renew by paying another subscription or by being gifted & using a ticket. They have the same facilities as paying members once valid again.
3. Paying member = Premium. They have bought & paid their membership and it is still valid.
4. VIP Member = Premium member who pays an extra fee for a free member to wear clothes / speed adjuster & cum whilst in their room. It ceases when the free member exits.
-
hi brandi,
thanks, i see what you guys mean. i was thinking of it as things a vip could purchase in the store. similar to how they buy poses or clothes. because not all vips care if you can cum or not. but having it as a fourth member option might make sense too. the way i was thinking of it each option would be separate. an option to allow you to dress free users. and an option to allow free users to cum and slow action. if they bought the clothes option when in the room they could either dress the free user or allow the free user to pick whatever clothes and makeup and things that they have in their closet. also the vip could save combinations he likes to make it fast to dress the free user. any way they chose to implement this would be fine with me. whether it is a separate membership or options they could buy. but at least the stuff the vip buys is his. and i think that is fair. hopefully it will cut down on gift whores.
ps i tried to reply before and i guess it didn't post. so if there ends up being two replies, sorry.
-
hmmm maybe its just me again, I´m pretty sure some may like it but.....
I can´t figure out how Tony would fit in my clothes :P
-
Brandy said it - at the moment, we have 3 kinds of members/users. VIP would be 4th to me.
To buy VIP you have to be prem. Then you can buy clothes, which you can give free members when you room them, make them prem for this date (they can cum and change speed slider) or give them other gifts (which hopefully will be added, eg sweets, flowers, drinks...).
To make it acceptable for AChat, we could say, fashion just can be worn for 10 times. Same with things in room. And you have to be a prem for 1 year to become VIP. My idea so far.
All in all I can say, I like your idea of VIP members.
lol maron ::)
-
hi lover,
the only issue i see with that is the 1 year wait. that will have a lot of prem members having to deal with the gift whores still. the idea is to remove the need to whore. and tag the remaining whores so they can be found or hid by the prem members. you can have a self identifying check box for gift whores. and then an option to report a user that hasn't marked themselves but tries to gift whore.
-
Hang on a minute.
You mean that I would have to pay MORE if I wanted a Free Member just to wear MY Clothes and to Cum, or be able to dress them up ? And then hope "Gift Whoring" would stop. I room with one particular Free User and we get on fine without him been able to Cum. I Cum for both of us. And after a chat and a glass of wine, or three, the clothes are ripped off anyway. (But, he wouldn't wear my girly clothes).
How Many people actually wear clothes when the action starts ? Some people I room with have actually said that its nice to see someone who is actually naked. Or said No Go Naked if I have asked them "What would you like me to wear as a sex outfit". Yes, I know its not always sex in room and people just like to talk or dance (I Have sometimes) so dressing them up might be worth it for some people. But not me. It takes me ages to decide what to wear, let alone someone else.
It could be used for free users to see what they are missing for been a free user I suppose. The more people that pay on here the better. Is it worth the time and money for the ACHAT team to do it though ? When there is more important things for them to consider in my opinion. More clothes for the Guys, an orgy room for people who like that kind of thing, the ability to see what you look like in new clothes before you buy them, Collars. Etc, Etc. Things like this have been on the waiting list for sometime.
But, there will always be people who ask for gifts. You'll never stop it. EVER! The best thing really you can do is ignore them. (Like what you'll do to me after reading this) :P. After all, it's not our business to go about and tell people what they should and shouldn't do. You know, who are we to say Stop asking for gifts. Some people don't like it.
Oh, just one question. Is it only Free Users that ask for gifts ? If your answer is Yes. Are you sure ?
P.S. Just in case you are wondering after reading this, I do NOT ask for gifts. And J'sus I wrote a bloody essay again. :D :o
-
hi,
the proposed change is a purely optional thing for the vip members. you would not be required to purchase the add-ons. as far as work for achat, there is very little. my original idea is that the clothes and the cum and speed are separate options to purchase. it would not just apply to clothes. it would be a complete makeover, face, makeup, jewelry what have you. so basically the vip member would have the option to have sex with an avatar that appeals to them. the other option is the free user can go and make an avatar to use. kind of surprise the vip user. but it would be the vip user's choice.
i totally believe this will reduce gift whoring. because it takes away the need for a vip user to gift a gift whore. it gives them all the power. why would a vip gift a gift whore with these options. the only reason would be if they can't find a partner. anyone wanting to gift whore could do so but there would be an option to be seen as one. so that the vip users can hide or find them quickly and easily.
the very first post of this thread has my original idea. lover is suggesting making it an extra add-on membership type thing. that is different than what i was proposing. but it is up to achat to decide; 1 if they want to do these things at all and 2 how to implement it. that would include cost.
no one is trying to say anyone can gift whore or not. it is a matter of reducing it and making the game play better for everyone. the free users would also not need to gift whore as much. since they can experience the whole game more often. the only remaining reason to gift whore would be that you are poor and can't afford to be a vip member and you also want the control that they would have. but it would be much more difficult for a gift whore to gain enough credits to be vip under these proposed changes. since vips would not really need a gift whore unless desperate. and you would have to do a lot of whoring to gain enough credits to be useful.
in my opinion gifts should be because the vip user wants to gift you. that is how i get my gifts. it should not be a free user demanding a gift. that is what i'm trying to reduce with these changes. this stuff doesn't really affect me personally. it was just ideas i had to make the game better. i chat with a fair amount of people and you run into the gift whore issue quite often. that is to say, vip users being upset about gift whores. so i was trying to help them. but like i said, these changes would help the free users too, who aren't gift whores. since we could experience more of the game more often.

hmmm maybe its just me again, I´m pretty sure some may like it but.....
I can´t figure out how Tony would fit in my clothes :P
If it becomes possible, oh I can think of a whole new bag of forfeits :P
And there just has to be a catwalk show lol Tony, Auswoody, Lover and Jayc would be the top show draw :)
Back to topic...
I am all for getting rid of gift whores but... there is a market out there for them or they would not survive. Some houses charge to for their whores to be used and once a guy gifts, they go on a gifting list that is passed around the whores and are targeted, over and over ... it just spoils the game and is the darker side of Achat.
Each to their own though. Some do enjoy the seedy side and fantasise about it.
Only way to stop it, is refuse to pay the whores. You have paid Achat once, why pay again.
---
The VIP idea. I think the clothing should be kept in a separate section, like your own wardrobe, not rented. The VIP could use the clothing options again and again and the speeder and cum ability in use, whilst he is a VIP member. When it runs out, it gets locked up until the member renews that option again.
-
@ cd:
the only issue i see with that is the 1 year wait.
I meant you have to have a valid subscription for one year, not that you have to wait one year to become VIP.
@ Zu: No, you don't have to pay more to be prem. Only if you want to be VIP. VIP would mean, you could buy or rent clothes which free users/members can wear while you are in room with them. It wouldn't stop whores, but for sure would reduce the number of whores.
What we are doing is a brainstorming. Collecting ideas, talking about them... what is possible, what can be done, which of them do have benefits for us AND for the A-Team. Cause only if it's good for everyone, we will have the chance to get it.
Let's be honest. Some guys only have sex, because they pay (=gift). They have to pay a lot, don't they? If they could give clothes/stuff in room for some time, they still pay more but less than they are paying now.
And of course, becoming VIP is just an option, not a duty.
-
thanks lover,
i didn't get what you meant at first. makes sense. yes about what everyone is saying. the idea is that instead of a vip's money going from him to a gift whore and then to achat. to just go from the vip to achat. cut out the gift whore. by allowing the vip to buy the clothes and avatar mods to loan to free users and allowing him to have the free user to change speed and cum, the vip user is getting what he wants, by directly paying achat for it. the free user is getting to experience the game better. the free users would also get more action because they are no longer useless. i mean how many times do you ignore a free user because you no they have nothing to offer game wise. so this way the vips have a use for the free user.
brandy i think i understand you but not sure. yes the clothes they buy to be used by the free users would be in the vip's closet.
-
I know its only brain storming. ;) People who gift, spend more. You know, Add ACHAT $ before they have to renew themselves. You really think the ACHAT team will stop that ?
If someone is totally F$£%£^G stupid of gifting a Whore and then gets hounded by more of them because of it, it's their problem. Not yours, not mine. It's their own bloody fault. Plus I have no idea at all what the Whore Gifters Gift. I'm not interested. I don't care. I've never asked for gifts. So, I don't know. And will never ask, if I can't pay my own way I'll quit, until I can pay for my own Membership.
A particular Free User person was introduced to me. ;). But other Free users have chatted to me. Some have been ok. MOST have been rude and down right obnoxious. So, who can blame people from ignoring them. I know they aren't all the same but, it does prey on peoples minds.
Stop Gift Whores. Two easy solutions. Block Gifting for free users or... STOP F$&*$&$G gifting them.
As for guys who can't get a room other than gifting a whore. Again, not anyone's problem, apart from their own. They should be more polite to none Gift whores. We aren't responsive to Wanna Fuck. Maybe they can't be polite. I Myself have been "shouted" at by a Free User for just saying No Thanks to them.
Something else has just occurred to me though with this VIP thing. If a free user had access to clothes, speed and able to cum, they would never, ever subscribe anyway. Would they ? What would be the point when someone with "VIP Status" give them everything. So, instead of saying will room for gifts they would say VIP's Only. :D. So after thinking about that for a while. Lets hope it'll happen. Then I won't get hounded by Free Users all the time asking "WANNA FUCK" or cold calling, only the VIP People will get that.

hi,
in partial response to your last post:
"Something else has just occurred to me though with this VIP thing. If a free user had access to clothes, speed and able to cum, they would never, ever subscribe anyway. Would they ? What would be the point when someone with "VIP Status" give them everything."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
this was a point i made previously. some free users will never upgrade because they can't afford to. that is why they are gift whoring. so the vip users are currently paying for many free users to become vip (via gifts). i am attempting to reduce this by cutting out the middle man. achat would still get their money. it would just go straight from the vip user to achat. and not pass between to gift whores. also, these changes could increase the amount of vip users, since all free users would have a more enjoyable time here. i believe a lot of free users quit the game after a short time, because of bad experiences here. so by having a better more welcoming experience more people may decide to stay.
there are still many benefits to upgrading to vip. for one, all of the control. you get to buy the poses you want, the clothes you want, etc. you would also get to create your own identity. under the proposed changes a free user's persistent identity would still be boring and ugly. you would only get glimpses of how sexy and hot you can be if a vip user dressed you up. so it is like giving them a taste. granted the users that were never going to upgrade, still aren't. you just aren't forcing them into gift whoring to gain a better experience. there wouldn't be a need to gift whore with these changes. if the cost structure is set right, it would also be impractical to do so. that is, the amount of whoring necessary to buy a membership, customize your avatar, and buy poses, would out weigh the time required. if the free users are basically getting what they want (a sexy avatar and ability to satisfy their partner) that is all they need in the short term. i think there will be a remainder of current gift whores that may try to continue the practice, but i think they will find it hard to continue the practice. for one, there will be less johns, since they can now have a good time with free users. similar to how a vip picks a room. he/she can now essentially pick an avatar. he would have a closet full of avatars set to his liking. he would just need a willing free user to play along.
a different point you brought up, leaves me confused. it sounds like you are vip. why don't you have your block free user option set to on? that will stop them from pestering you. i am a free user and i get annoyed by what you described too. i just block a ton of people to get some peace. i have a different post about changes that would help that issue.
-
Yes, I am a Premium user. What you call VIP.
My Free user option isn't blocked because what I've said above. I have a good friend who is a Free User plus, some others are not always Premium. So if I use that option, how can they get in touch and vice versa ?
But now, I'm getting confused ::)
Premium members are what we have now. Is VIP what you would call this new option ? Buy Premium first and then have the opportunity to buy this new option later and then therefore be called VIP. Yep, just read BB's post. hehehe.
Hardly VIP though is it. VIP, in my opinion, is what Lover has said earlier. I would call this option the F.U. Option. And have this option shown on your Avi screen somewhere too. So the Free Users actually know that you have bought it. Maybe it could be on the search filters too.
-
hi zuzannah,
totally understand about the free user block issue. makes sense now. you are right i am new and have always referred to the current premium as vip. that is my bad. then when lover suggested adding the options i was talking about as a vip subscription that made the topic confusing (my fault though). i like the designation you suggest. i actually wish they did a better job of that now. they gave me a blue star like three days after being here. and someone congratulated me on being vip. which caused me confusion. i contacted tech support and they said it was because i was a valued member. if they had different color stars. i think i saw some old threads about that issue, so i didn't bring it up.
the more i think about this i am starting to understand why lover suggested having this be a subscription add-on. i think that makes more sense than how i was thinking of it. so; free, prem, vip. and if you did happen to get gifts you could be a free/prem but not be able to go up to vip. if i think of this in terms of the flow of actual money. the vip sub, as lover suggested, makes the most sense.

To stop this gift soliciting and keeping Members or free users
it will take a lot more then a few suggestions ..
You also have to see its a money making business ..
'If it was my business I will go with what makes a profit .
Yes many will go but many will also stay... Lets all be honest with ourselves Achat is the best place
for sex poses and there prices are affordable just right ...They have a lot to grow in still
but, I hope we all
agree they have the most amazing easy to control poses . and also this is why many also stay there are member here for many years
this tells you Achat is good and will stand even if some go ...
They would have to change all the program system.that will take a lot of $$$$ , to help control some of it,
and with all they have on there hands now
I don't see this happening any time soon,
But will not get ride of soliciting for gifts or as you call it whoring ...Taking time to talk to them you would understand that many do it for many reasons ..and some are just whore's and none of it will stop
for the only reason that
No one! can Control the actions of a another person ever !
you cant tell others to gift or not gift to F*** or not to F****
every one that's on a here is a Adult to make their own choices...Yes or No
up to them ....
I would also think of Achat it is a business and they are here to make a business
I am satisfied with the poses
and actions they provided us with well not 1 or maybe too little
and I can stay I hope they make better clothing lately I am not pleased with this
but over all I am happy here with the hard work they are doing maybe not all be right with some bugs but they get to them and fix it...
and to the ones that leave Achat you know there is no other place like here ...
you are welcome to come back when ever you like ,
For me I will continue to enjoy A Chat and posting here in the forum
And thank you Achat ... :)
( suggestions help here in the forum from all members so we can all brainstorm together )
-
My way to combat this is easy. I dont talk then, and if someone ask me for a gift for room, i say NOT. Easy...
If person insist, i just put in ignore.
I am a little radikal, i know... but after some years here, is the only efective mode i find.

Same for me and when a girl ask to me for rooming and I see her profil asking for gifts, it's very simple my answer is " No thank you" and I room only with men 8)
Like said Zoe if you start to talk you have to dicuss for nothing since many hours !
-
Like you all are saying its very easy say No and ignore !
just as man are stalking you for sex No! No no has a lot of power :D

hi all,
seems like there are three points from the above posts that you all keep bringing up;
1) achat is busy, these changes would be too costly to implement, etc..
to me that is for achat to decide. in my mind they are easy changes.
2) just say no.
i totally agree. i don't know why people pay gift whores and why there are so many here. but they are here and there are a lot of them. thus the reason for the proposed changes. the just say no argument was an old anti-drug campaign in the usa (under ronald regan). it didn't work. we have more drugs than ever. the fact is people don't say no they say yes yes and more yes.
3) who are you to say what someone can and can't do
i'm not saying what anyone can or can't do. i'm suggesting that achat can make more money by making the prem users happy. they will get more free users upgrading to vip. the free users will be happier and will not have to resort to whoring. yes you can whore or do whatever you like. i have never said anyone can't. and under the proposal lover made achat would also be getting the prem adding on vip. that is the money that is currently being spent on the gift whores and then goes back to achat. so if anything, achat would make the same amount of money. but most likely more money. and there will be more happy users all around.
this all seems like no brainer stuff, i guess i am missing something.
-
You not missing anything Alley. It's just people expressing their opinion that's all. *Hugs*
What it is you see, is people want different things. This is your idea. And after a while of thinking about it, it could be a good one, if people are willing to pay a little bit extra. But how much extra? We would have to wait and see.
You might think it's a no Brainer. But, the ACHAT team must be Very, VERY busy at the Moment. (If not all the time). Don't know if you have seen some posts on here but, there hasn't been a new F-F pose for TWO years. I don't know what gender you room with but, if you room with other Shemales you must have noticed that there is only around Twenty poses, S-F about Fifty Five, while M-S has about Seventy and M-M about 20. People are screaming for LGBT poses and we aren't getting them. An appeal has even been created about this and it will be sent at the end of the year to the ACHAT team. After that we all wait. Whether any new LGBT poses come out is entirely up to them.
So What I'm saying is, your idea is a good one, for some people. But, be prepared to wait for it to be implemented. If it ever gets added. People have also been screaming for a Meeting Place too for sometime and (I think) the new buy system actually in game. I don't know for how long though, that is for the Forum Moderators tell us. I wouldn't like to guess.
-
hi zuzannah,
yes along the lines of what you and another person mentioned achat does have the best pose selections out of all the other options (about 5 at my last count). that is the reason i came back to using it. i like that there is a designated shemale gender and that there are poses for it. i haven't experienced a lack of poses. if anything i thought they had more than enough. but i have seen the complaints in the forums before. i would say to those complaining achat is still better than the other options. but more poses never hurt. and if there are less for lgbt then that should be a priortity when it comes to creating new poses. i have been very happy with group poses and personal poses. i also like that you can play achat for free. the biggest reason i use achat is that it works on my crappy computer. the other options require a gaming rig pratically.
i know from using other software that the developers always say creating the animations is the most time consuming/expensive thing to do. gui and system changes are relatively easy. i think that is why you are waiting so long. also moving freely in the environment is clearly new for them and will take some time for them to figure out. i just hope we don't end up needing gaming rigs to play achat.
coming from other software there are pros and cons to the meeting place. i asked achat in support years ago to add the ability to walk along the beach in the room that has a beach. we now have the meeting place. not that my request is related to their action. but to me the meeting place is a dumb idea. if they added filters to the gui, and my suggestions in this post, it would be much easier to find partners to play with. once you get to the room is where moving would be more useful. i would love to walk along the beach hand in hand with my lover. bobbing around in a florida suburb is lame. i just take that as their first baby step. i hope to god it gets better or gone altogether.
so now this thread is officially off topic i guess. oh well. it was useful. i never expected achat to implement my ideas. i just want them to get to understand them. it never hurts to share ideas. it's their software they are going to do what they want with it regardless of what i or anyone else says.

All suggestions are welcome CD
and a lot can work with brainstorming together
I would like to make a suggestion to all new forum members there are lots of great ideas & suggestion's
from the past and we talked a lot on gifting , this will be a little more east to understand with reading the
forum .It is something that all Achat members need to get involved to to be informed of what is happening.
I enjoy the forum for this I take me four month to really try to understand it and I keep on learning new things every day here
aside loving posting and having fun here ..keep suggestion and enjoy ...
People will stay and become premium users because they enjoy Achat and there poses
that is the reason many maybe not agree with how they run the program but they are still here
main reason they love the poses ...
whoring or not members Love it here ...
-
The biggest problem with the A-Team, they don't tell us what's on their todo-list and which ideas are welcome. We're always fishing in the murky. We have had many good ideas, some have been implemented, some haven't. But we never knew if they liked an idea, until it suddenly was there.
Most of the changes in the last 3 years have been suggested here. Like the meeting place. But we stopped talking about it long ago and now it's there. Maybe they like the idea of VIP-members... and 2020 we have it :D
One thing is sure though - there is a lack of existing poses for shemales, FF, MM and groups. Some might not be easy to do, but FM has a lot, which easily could be adapted. Why they don't do it? Only they know. All I was told, they are working on it, but we have to be patient... ::)

with the game i came from, the developer communicated in the forum. however, they put out buggy awful software, release after release. loosing most of their users along the way. so communicating doesn't necessarily translate to results. ideally a developer would communicate and put out good software. but that doesn't seem to exist anywhere. achat is still the best option out there in my opinion, but it's not perfect. if everyone offers their ideas in a constructive, positive manner, it can't hurt anything. but i have no expectation that my ideas will be implemented. however, if i don't at least share the ideas, i am guaranteed that they will never be implemented.
in economics, there is a concept of dollar votes. by paying for something, you are essentially supporting it with your dollars (ie votes). giving a non verbal approval, if you will. this is one reason i haven't paid for a membership. i have to spend too much time blocking people, because there are no filters. gift whores run rampant. these things turn me off. if i were to pay achat now, i would be saying i am fine with the current situation (and i am not). you shouldn't pay for prem, if you are unhappy with the amount of lgbt poses. if they implement what you want, then pay them.
on another note, it's hard to suggest things, when they block free users from the forum. once i got a gift, i was able to join the forum. that doesn't help anything either.

Good point.
I like coming here. (I actually look forward to it) Even if it's to just change my clothes (free users can't do that). And at the moment only guys are interested in me, (The poses are better though, for my style of play). But, I'm having a lot of FUN (And I Mean A LOT OF FUN) with the few I room with. Even though I'm a Guy myself and would never have a relationship with one in RL. (Work that one out, confusing Eh. But, Who Cares). :D I won't room with other Shemales until the poses have increased to a fair number, compared to the others.
This doesn't mean that I have become uninterested in the appeal. I want poses for all.
The ACHAT team do come here but, not very regularly, only when something goes wrong or like a bug fix. But, it would be better if they just perused the Forum and said they liked an idea or not.
I've only been asked for Money once all the time I've been here (Approximately 8 months. And that wasn't to Room either) :D I quote "Could you Lend me $50 so I can go Prem" I obviously said No. We chatted for a few minutes. And she asked me that. Trying to soften me up. Hehehe.
So, I don't really know about the gift whores Running Rampant as you say. It might because, they look at me and think I look like I have No Money anyway. She's Spent it all on Clothes. ::) :D ;D
Keep sharing your ideas Alley ;) and add to others peoples topics if you want to. It what keeps this part off the Forum Active. But, just be prepared to wait for a long time for the ideas to come out. If they ever do.

thanks zuzannah,
understood. i don't deal with the whores myself either. i block them before they even get to me. but there are a lot of gift whore and can you help with prem and buy my pics for gift profiles. i would hate to be playing as a prem guy on here. that was what i was trying to help with.
the other sites i have checked out have few lbgt members. most sites are geared to mf and you are lucky if there is a shemale gender. so you end up with a lot of fake female players.
the ideas i posed in both threads were an attempt at helping all this. if people enjoyed playing as free, prem, or vip more people would stay. if you look at the profile distribution there are few prem and a ton of free. most people don't log on much and give up on the game. so it's hard to build up a lbgt community like that.
having a light weight persistent chat ability could help. because users could at least sort of be online more often. if you had filters you could easily see who is in your interest groups. and shoot them a message. or at a minimum arrange meeting times in game with friends etc... so anyways all the ideas are to build up the user base (ie get more users) including lgbt. i rarely see homo guys on here. and there are so few on at one time that they check the place out leave and never come back.
one person said there are happy long time users. well that is great but there are few of them. there are a ton of free users come go and never be seen again. doing something about that will help achat make more money which is what they want first and foremost.
just in the last year two more vsg came onto the seen. so there is more competition. if achat sits and does nothing they will get left behind. also those long time prem members are most likely here because they dumped a ton of money into poses and such. you aren't just going to walk away from that unless you can afford to. so that is not necessarily a ringing endorsement of a job well done.
i think everyone will benefit from more users, easy to find users you want to talk with, less gift whores, more enjoyable sex, having a use for free users. those are the types of things i have talked about in both threads.
achat certainly has the most sex poses, they have nice rooms, and i like the profile to room concept. the poker room is a nice addition, the meeting place not so much. to me the meeting place is the complete opposite of looking at a profile and then striking up a conversation. it is more like a real time blind date. the blind date was a nice add on. but i had one guy see my avatar invite me over and we talk and he doesn't realize i'm a shemale (that was in the meeting place). i like the idea of being able to walk around and stuff in the rooms but the meeting place to me doesn't fit with the game. it could be good for a party type concept where you don't go off to have sex in rooms. or a group sex type of thing. but as is doesn't make sense to me.
