Hi Johnaaw,
I've noticed a big change since I've gotten a membership, and I was wondering if free users are going to be so "limited" again when things are going back to normal (with free accounts and memberships)?
I'm definitely going to get a membership, so I'll be able to use all the site's functionalities, but I was wondering about the people who don't, and what happens when I contact them? If, as a member, I can see their profiles but they tell me that they can't see any of my stuff (which happened to me earlier), then the benefits of having a membership for me is somehow limited... It'd be frustrating to know I'm contacting people without being able to get their attention, lol.
I was wondering if having fewer pictures blocked to free users could help? All videos and hardcore photos could be accessible to members only for instance, but all the other pics would remain visible. An example: earlier, without a membership, I was not able to see any of a specific member's content (although 80% of his -- many -- pics are softcore, I'm seeing now) and he did not get any answer from me at the time, because I couldn't see who I was dealing with... I just hope the same thing won't happen to me as a member when I contact someone that has a free account.
Anyhow: thank you for taking over the site, I'm so happy it will live on!

hey spxbrln, membership will come back at some point. but I think we need to rethink the limited aspect of it.
yes, there should be restrictions, but a possibility to get around them.
e.g. a free-account member asks you to see your photos and you could simply open your photo gallery to them. like it's done in other dating apps. just a thought.
as many stated already in this thread, we shouldn't punish free membership account too much.
I was also thinking of giving premium membership account a possibility to use (and test) big new features a few weeks before it hits the site for all accounts.
this isn't written in stone so we're definitely iterating and trying out some things.
cheers!
