Ultimate shoulder rides

Vaggeli,

you just seem to concentrate on Photos. What`s about a good and not so easy to find youtube link?

I like videos more than photos.

Hemibo,

I feel I should only concentrate on photos,as most people do not search for photos ,and will only look and search for a video link..The reason is,it is much easier..

Ponyxwoman,you are a fan of only (wom)and this should qualify you by just that comment to be a bonus member:)..

Also,I feel Liz should be a bonus member always..The reason is,she is the only female member,that we know of who participates..I feel any woman who posts on here,should be a bonus member,even though she may not post any photos...I know this rule should apply to women members,as I had said,anyone who does not post photos,should not be a bonus member..I guess I like to bend the rules somwhat when it comes to the female gender..I found some nice older girls on younger boys photos..It would not let me put them up..I guess they were too big or something...Do not worry,I will somehow put them up..I know we have very few members though who does like this..I thought there would be more interest..Oh well..We can't all like the same thing..

Boba,

You bring up good points..Yes you are right,if the photos we have are open for every member to see,maybe there may be less repeated photos..Then again,we have seen the same photo on here many times..So,I don't know if this is possible..I think we should really consider not having any more bonus album..We should have every photo to be seen by every member...I am also thinking,if a person will post,he will..It won't motivate him to post I feel to make him a bonus member,,Only very few may want to post,just to become bonus members..I still think we should have Liz,or any other female,always being a bonus member..We should be thankfull we have females period...I hope soon we will here from the administrators to see if we should not have bonus members anymore..

I received an e-mail about two hours ago,from one of our members..Anyways,he was saying he does not have much time searching for things,but he would love to see the new photos,which he claims he has to wait for months to view...After we move them down from the bonus albums I mean..

I think it does not harm..As boba sais,why should we have to hide the new photos from non bonus members..Don't forget,the majority are not bonus members,so this would make them happy..Anyways,just wondering if the administraors will really give this a good thought..It would not bother anyone I feel for people to see every photo..

Hey guys,

As you know,I like giving my oppinions from time to time..

I think though,we have to try and see how we can improve,or change some things on here...

Some days I think,why we have bonus members..I mean,what benefit is there really...The new pics we put up,will get moved later to the regular albums...I think of this many times while putting up pics for the bonus members..

The other times,I think,we should be more strict the way we just let in members to become bonus members..I feel it is way toooooo easy...In my oppinion,I feel a lot of members seem to only post something or reply to other posts,but really do not concentrate on finding or putting up pics...I have noticed over the last few months,some members seem new,and only post about something here or there,then they dissappear..Yet,other new members post,then they leave with out notice...I think though I am talking about two different things here..I should get back to what I was saying about bonus members...You may critisize me for saying this,but the bottom line is,this group has no success if people post,and never put up any pics...Plain and simple...You seem to make the effort and post something you want to say or talk about,but never put up any photos..I would not allow anyone to become bonus member,unless he does post some photos per month on regular basis...I am not also talking about photos which we have see over and over..Easy photos,just to become bonus member...I think it is time to change things...
Louie,I am not sure what you are talking about at times,saying it has been a good week or so seeing so many new photos and lot's of involvment with members,since you were gone from your computer for a few days.....This summer has been the slowest of any su
mer as having  members posting photos..If not for me,and a few others,we would have nothing on here...You could believe what ever you want,but this is very fact...

I am not going to wait very long,for the administrators to decide what they would do about changing some things on here..I mean about bonus members...I feel it may motivate members to post some photos to become bonus members,since they would not be able to become bonus members with just posting some things here and there..

If you will not do anything about this,then I will be posting photos,as I always do...However,I will not be posting them in the bonus albums..I will be posting them in the regular albums..The reason is,I would feel the bonus member rules is a joke...I take this group very serious..I am here to stay..I'm not here one day,and gone tomorow like most members have done over the last 10 years or so,since I have been a member in these type of groups...I always say this..When someone really likes the shoulder ride business,they will like it I feel for ever..I can't see how these so called members were members one day,and gone for ever the next..These members are not true shoulder ride fans...the way I am...

Now,if we will not change the policy to make it so easy for anyone to become a bonus member,then I will just be putting my photos as I said in the regular albums..Yes,Christmas may have come early for the regular members who would get to see my new photos on a regular basis..

I think I know of somebody you are talking about. He replies to lots of discussions and uploads little. He did give money once. He worries about copyright infringement which may get this website shut down which would sadden him when he enjoys pictures and videos of beautiful ladies being shoulder-carried like princesses. He recently uploaded some more Malibu Beach shoulder riding videos of a pretty gal who caresses the hair of her love slave that shoulder carries her. But, naturally the rest of us guys would never submit to the whims of a sweet gal to this degree. We are far too tough as every gal who has wrapped most others around her little finger already knows.

Why would he upload something copyrighted. They are samples made easy to take by the public, possibly to facilitate advertising or publicity of Getty Images such that it appears that those of Getty Images would not mind. But this uploader could be crazy. He has heard that "people are crazier than anybody."

The rule is, and has always been (since we introduced bonus membership at Smartgroups): regularly upload photos OR videos OR participate in the discussions (of course with interesting information). As we all know, Liz participates regularly in the discussions and sometimes she also uploads some photos (although this is not necessary).

The rules are the same for all - why having female bonus members who are passive? There is no point. I'm sure Liz agrees with me here too.

Hi Vageli,
The difference between regular and bonus membership is not that big. You are right about this.

One way of activating members might be, that we would no longer move pics from bonus albums to the general section. We could move bonus pics straight to the archives instead.
