I’m sorry if I come across as a paranoid delusional but I feel since the move to lush 2.0 there has bern more interest and development in the other aspects of the community here than in the stories. In my original post, I merely questioned if this rebrand on mobile devices was the first step in an acknowledgment that Lush is more than just the stories. If it is, that’s fine but be honest about it. You might vote Tory but you are still voting for the Conservative Party so you might refer to Lush but people still publish their stories on lushstories.
Huh? I'm not really understanding the whole "first step in an acknowledgment that Lush is more than just the stories." When have we not acknowledged as much? As far as I'm aware, we've always acknowledged that Lush is about more than just stories, with stories being the heart of the site, which is why they take centerstage in branding.
People typically come for the stories and stay for the community. We have moderators dedicated to the many facets of this site (story moderators, chat moderators, forum moderators, group moderators). The communal aspect of Lush, in my opinion, is what sets us apart from other smut story sites, so it'd be pretty counterintuitive on our part not to acknowledge that Lush is more than just the stories. It's something we've always done since before the switch to the new version of Lush.
Switching to just "Lush" dismisses the identity of this site that's rooted in stories. Not to mention, it'd be a shot in the foot because just Lush is a thriving (yet in my opinion shitty and overrated) cosmetics brand. No sense in fighting for our identity when we already have one, which is why that's not happening. As noted above, it was no more than a blip.
