Before the migration

The announcement and details of the migration should have been made by email. I have been here for a year and NEVER been to the forums. I was here for the stories. As such, I was blindsided and had made no backup of my favorite story list and followed authors, things that have now disappeared. I also would not have upgraded from Bronze to Gold a week before the move had I know it was happening. 

I am autistic and need time to process change. This site is an important part of my life and the drastic, sudden change has sent me into a meltdown. Which people may have noticed by my erratic and, at times, inappropriate forum posts and messages. I have been largely staying in bed and eating very little, to my physical and professional detriment. 

Don’t assume that everyone is a social butterfly that lives and breathes in the forums and the chatrooms. 

Hiya. The message about migration was also posted on the front page and every story page in the weeks leading up to it because we know not everyone uses the forums.

I'm sorry if you missed these announcements and that it has caused stress. I hope you feel better soon. I will see if the developers can clarify if favourite story lists etc are able to be migrated and if so, get a timescale on it.

I am on here reading stories 8-16 hours every day, for at least the last 2 months. I have no other activities in my life. 

I feel like Lush in a way told us that this site/interface would be part of our future when they sent out invite to play in the forums in Jan.16, 2019. Am I the only one that thought this? 

People knew of the Mobile site and instead of helping out, they complained about not wanting to have a profile on both sites. 

If you spend that much time on a site, then you can get to know how it functions. 

At the end of the day, Lush could have given us a yr to know of the change and this exact thread would have still been created.

Don't lecture people.

Jen was stating facts.

Given all the pushback and negative responses I receive, I am in the overwhelming minority in how I feel. It’s unlikely anyone else would have used such blunt and emotional language. And nobody would have pursued it with such vigor. 

Take a few hrs from your reading time to learn the site. 

When I first joined the site 6yrs ago, I created my account and spoke to nobody when I entered the rooms. I was there to know the functions. Then I moved to account settings and last  to the forums where I read up on site functions. 

We all were new to this site at one point. No matter how many screenshots I may show, I answer the same question 30 times a day and I am more than happy to answer yours.
