It has been an eventful year. What memories do you have from the site in 2010? It could be anything site / people related.

Here's my list off the top of my head, first thing in the morning:

We hit 100,000 posts, now it's over 270,000

Major server crash, both hard drives started failing. Gav has to do a big rethink on the technical side, we scale up our hardware.

We hit 50,000 members in October, now it's up to 60,000.

The forum "Think Tank" is born, and what a great success it's been.

Lush passes the 10,000 stories mark.

I discover chat / profile entries are rife, all hell breaks loose when new rules are enforced.

Our Moderator team grows across the board, what a great job they do =d>

Thanks for making the site so entertaining in 2010 folks, here's to an eventful and fun 2011

Don't believe anything this man tells you!
Torture the data long enough and they will confess to anything.
Your biggest memory about Lush in 2010 is a guy's penis pinocchio tattoo? How disappointing.

Mine was the entertainment that was 'The Driver'. The Flushie who was a member for like 5 days and managed to upset everyone. That was very amusing!
yep - loved it : )

I was just about to post about the driver!

His suggestion that short men should spike their hair up to appear taller is still one of the funniest things ever posted on lush!

ha ha I'm coining a new Lush phrase and say I enjoyed his 'driverisms'. I laughed hard at a lot of shit he said.
Cassidy was amusing

Only briefly.
Briefly is more than some manage
The Driver, bro and Cassidy! I had forgot about him. She was a hoot too!

if you discount the fact that she almost ruined a couple of friendships - i guess it all depends upon your definition of amusing.

On a lighter note, as for MY high points, i joined and met some wonderful people, posted some stories, kind of became a regular, sort of fell in love with an amazing girl.

Other things i've seen happen, Gav put up some new permenent chat rooms and tweaked a few things, like being able to order your friends on the friends list, and your stories on your stories list, so really, from my POV it was the year of the GAV. smile

You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.

Lush, or at least some of the people I met through it, sent me to the lowest I have ever felt in my life, but other people from here were also the key to my revival from that despair. In the past year I have seen some very good friends disappear without a word, but have also been fortunate to meet new ones who mean the world to me.

The think tank was an addition that I enjoy when it doesn't get bogged down in name calling. It's a nice outlet for me to talk politics, like I used to with one of my friends who disappeared this past year.

It was also fun to watch one of my friends move from the shadows to the spotlight here, as she grew more and more confident and comfortable with herself. She's grown so much in the last year, and I know this next year will see just as much growth, if not more from her.

Every time I saw one of her posts it never failed to get an incredulous laugh or a 'you gotta be kidding me' comment. Not even once did one of those two things not happen.

Other than that - I met some great people... And one wonderful woman in particular... She knows who she is!
There has been some tremendous head butting in the forums ..... just insensitivity is my guess. Sometimes, it's been shocking, and other times it has been a laugh out loud situation.



All in all, it has been a great place to converge and share and find out new things and meet new people, and reacquaint with some that you've lost touch with.



The highlights for me has been; finding some wonderful and special people to share my time with - love signing on saying "hello!" ... oh .... and the Lusher Football League ... whooohoooo!!!



and this is where I plug ..... my EAGLES!! go Eagles go!!

Meeting the most amazing man and falling in Love.

and realizing some of my closest friends, and friend's i'll have for a lifetime, I met on a sex-story site.

Drama queens nothing else needs to be said about that they know who they are


Having a good round of fun in the chatrooms and in the forums as always


Making some really great friends and getting to talk to a lot of them by phone or mic always fun putting a voice to the faces of good friends.

Should I retire now, on a high so to speak, or am I still eligible for the crown next year too?

I suspect 2011 will be a much bigger year for Lush.
My favourite moments on Lush this year was knowing that Lush is still my most favourable web-site where there is friends if I need them always ready to cheer me up and give me lot's of support!

The Think Tank was a good add-on to Lush, I do enjoy reading the topic's. It shows me that we have a lot of intellegent and imformative people on Lush.

Finding out that Lush helped Lisa to assist her StoriesSpace - I thought it would be a rival but then I realised that Nic, Gav and prob several other Mod's where there to help her.
Aside from the wonderful friendships I have made, finding Lush as an outlet for my acerbic wit was THE highlight - I guess the likes of Driver & Cassidy made me look tame and acceptable.

A close second was being taught how to use a 'chat room'. Hey! Don't laugh, I was a chat room virgin when I arrived and needed therapy from my Lush friends the first time I got 'cybered'. It's all good now.

I am not the whole year with you guys but what was memorable for me is Gav's work. I still remember how our profile pages looked like covered in white, we changed them into something that now looks like very coloured playgraund.

Think Tank was excellent decision.

I remember when Flushies term was invented by BigRod in thread when 'TaintedRainbow' (but the name could be easly wrong) claimed that she is famous supermodel Twiggy, that was amusing as well..

But what amazes me most is how people are cool here, I would never thought that it is posible to interact with people on this level of politeness and respect for each other, I had just few guys with "Hey I am horny, wanna fuck" that is not worthy to mention it at all. This is my first (and only) adoult site and I truly believe that all the rules are helpping this site to look like decent place to spend time.

Congratulations to everyone who are making this site classy
I became a member only a little while ago so I am in the process of making memories on Lush. My experience has been a very positive one. I hope to be apart of your memories next year.
I have been a Lush member since 2009. Joined just to read stories and I have only been active on forums and chats since August 2010. I have made some incredible friends and with just a few exceptions, have found everyone to be very open, honest and respectful. I feel like I have known some of them all my life, we have gotten so close. I log in every morning and get a big smile when I see some of my friends are online. Its a great way to start the day.

I have so many great Highlights for the year but the best are meeting some very special women who I wont embarrass by naming them.

I look forward to making more friends, Chatting with my existing friends more often, reading more hot sexy stories and may even take a shot at writing some too.

And to the Admins,Moderators, Etc. Great Job Keeping the Site Fun!! Thanks.

Merry Christmas!! Love Ya All!!
Javier's one-of-a-kind forum questions have been a good highlight of mine. Love ya, soldier! ;)
This year, I was able to meet more interesting people, and I bacame more of a regular in the forums and the chat rooms, when the time allowed for me to do so. I'm hoping next year, I can make my home in the chat rooms and post more stories on here.

i joined in october, but in a few short months i got learn new people, and have now grown to love those people with all my heartheart they are like my other familybiggrin started off with coming online for stories, but now its for the wonderful people i have met and got to know over the past couple of monthssmile
I originally came here to read the stories, I don’t do social networking sites, they really piss me off, people calling each other crap, and pretending to be friends ????
I read the posts in the forums and just had to join so I could contribute to the discussions. I’ve had a really crap year and lost a lot of friends at the start of 2010, but it’s nice to come back to LUSH and "see" lots of familiar "faces" and friends still here, now I know 2011 will be better, I may even try and write a story or two.
Merry Xmas

lush 2010...joined march 2010 but then i deleted my account...couldn't stay away so i came back....i have met some wonderful people on here and made friendships that i hope will last a long time...
The year will be remembered for all the friends I've met here on Lush... the comments I've made in the forums and the little steps I've made to overcome my 'shyness' and not forgetting the road I've travelled to be a more passionate and sensual person...
I discovered Lush in 2010 and quickly grew to love it as a wonderful way to express thoughts I never was able to express in words before, both through writings and forums. Also, I "met" many amazing people. I found for the first time in my life personal contact is not necessary to become fond of someone. I actually "met", in slipperysherry, a true fantasy love (I didn't believe it was possible to feel as strongly about someone I have not ever actually met in person as I do her; WOW). I also liked writing stories about (in addition to my fantasy love) hornylylslut, bibeth, sexybitch1, emmily, vinuy, jaime, and others.

Also I particularly remember kinkygirl's offer to change her sexual orientation to fulfill a fantasy of mine.

[Of course what I said in the last sentence never actually happened, but this is a fantasy site, after all, isn't it?]
