i'm feeling butt hurt by this thread. i'm leaving unless 200 people write me and beg me not to go.
No no. You're confused. The butt hurt you're feeling is from eating too much spicy food.

Sorry Sprite I won't beg you not to leave, but I will post a really catchy tune for you...

We all have our reasons for staying and for leaving. I left right before my daughter was born as it was a time for family and I needed to put my own desires aside to focus on her. I sent out a PM to my friends and recieved some very nice well wishes. It was not until my abrubt second departure from lush for personal reasons that I came to realize how hurtful it can be not to send that PM. I strained a dear friendship and broke their trust. I've done my share of apologizing yet it will never be the same, sadly. Sometimes we just need to learn from our mistakes.

I will never delete my account.
If I need time off, I plan to have a 'friend' send a PM blast saying that I was in a freak skydiving accident during a meteor shower (ripped my parachute), and that I am in a hospital 'fighting for my life' for the next 6-12 months. Then, if I decide I want to come back, I'll play it so that my 'evil twin sister' has hijacked my account and is pretending to be me, so I can avoid the people I don't want to talk to.
I get drama-rama PMs like this all the time...
Better to go out with a bang than a simple and reasonable, "I need time off Lush" message, right?

Coming and going with a bang is Lush's motto.
Well well, what a topic this is.
At the risk of being tedious and putting a damper on the fun and delicious nature of this discussion, I would like to post a link to a thread that Nicola, owner of Lush, started, concerning aspects of someone deleting an account that have not been brought to the fore.
Think long and hard about deleting your account: I am no longer going to reverify stories for members that return.
Some Lush members disappear for good. Others leave repeatedly and come back, time after time after time, resubmitting their lost stories, blithely assuming their stories, once approved, will receive an automatic nod of approval, gratitude and delight to see them back again.
Fail! Not so.
Each and every story has to be reviewed, and it is a sad state of affairs that some of those people who deleted their accounts also deleted the file for stories that had been brought to Lush standards. They did not, however, keep a copy of the acceptable file.
So we go over it again, sending story submissions back for corrections that had once been done but not kept, due to the laziness or indifference of some people.
This is a massive and frustrating waste of time of the volunteer moderators and story verifiers here, and leaves us feeling as though we are being taken for granted. Particularly when a returning member who claims to have 'accidentally' deleted the account continues to break the GD site guidelines and then forgets that magic formula: 'Thank you for your time and effort, I fucked up. I MADE A MISTAKE.'
If you have read this far, thank you. Please pay attention to the message above and if you do delete your account with all your stories attached, be aware of the consequences of returning and resubmitting said files. They may or may not be approved a second time, to say nothing of a third, fourth, fifth... whatever.

Quote by nicola
We have had 3 members this month delete their accounts for a variety of reasons, and then come back, expecting us to be here with open arms, ready to verify all their stories all over again.
The moderators have too much to do as it is, without having to verify the same stories over and over.
This is unfair to those who are submitting here for the first time, and to those who show our site and moderators respect. It increases the time it takes for us to verify their submissions.
Do you want this site to end up the way of others where you have to wait 10 days for a story to be verified? I know it takes this long, I submitted one of my own stories to a few "competitor" sites last month, and was appalled how long it typically took my submission to appear on site.
In summary, I am not going to verify any stories from members that delete their account and come back again, dumping their story collection on us. It is up to the other Moderators if they take the same tack, so think long and hard before deleting your account.

*nods* Gypsy's post sums it up for me. i may need to take breaks from time to time, but i've worked too hard on my stories to ever delete my account. even if, some day, i tire of the place for whatever reason, i will always keep it open and they will always remain for that day when i realize that i wasn't thinking straight and i miss my Lushies and come back. 
btw, i like Doll's idea. i need an evil twin... Dark Sprite is just waiting to be unleashed!

Once I have gone through all the trouble to write my stories and post them and furthermore to get all those great comments then I sure would not want to frivolously delete them. I think I'll stick around.
I think I am going to fantasize about a threesome with Evil Dancing_Doll and Dark Sprite! Yowee!

I just returned to Lush after an absence that was not planned but evolved as certain aspects of my personal life went up in flames. There was a point when I doubted I'd write again and wondered if I'd come back at all but as for my account that was never in danger of being closed.
The stories I have posted here have been the results of great effort and I will always be thankful to have a place where I am able to share them with others who have the mental strength to enjoy them without worrying about social acceptability. All of that for free? Why on earth would I ever close my account?

Quote by Mazza
I am happy to say that I have more than my fair share of these here, on Lush.<3 (2)
I'm closer to some than to others and, just like in real life, I share things with them, laugh with them, cry with them, flirt, fall out, fall back in again.
Some, I'll lose touch with - sometimes we can pick up again, sometimes not.
Would I die for any of them? No, probably not, but then I don't think I'd die for many of my real life friends: my kids? Yes, fuck yes, I'd die for my kids...
Anyway, I said all the things you wanted - can I go now!! lol
hahahahhaah
That's just my take on the word. I didn't expect many to agree with me. I guess I could have gone with the nicer "Friends are the family you choose" quote but in my case the people I'd consider friends would be immediate family.

I remember the bloke who broke his neck in a terrible auto accident, 20 kilometers from his home... six minutes after his last post on his Mistress's profile page.
And then his mistress kept all of Lush updated weekly for about six months as to his recovery.
Then, once he got well and healed. He unceremoniously dumped her in the shitcan of life. How do I know this?
She told us!
I truly love this phenomenon. The entertainment value alone, is priceless.

i had two GREAT guys disappear on the same day without a word. i had developed a great online friendship with them as well as had some amazing sexy playtime with each of them. i was gutted especially because they left without a word. thankfully i was/am in communication with them outside of lush ( ) and they finally connected with me there apologizing for disappearing. we still are in frequent contact with each other outside of lush which i think speaks volumes about the kind of guys they are.
their excuse for leaving...found that they were spending way too much time on here and it felt like it was taking over their lives. pretty brave statement to make and even braver to do something about it. just makes me like them that much more. honestly, i'm starting to feel the same way. love the site and the people but there is only so much masturbating one can do before you realize that laundry needs to get washed, groceries need to be bought and life needs to go on :P

You may be so in love with someone and something comes in between you,
you're not sure why, but it causes a lot of confusing, hurtful thoughts and feelings.
Then you act on those feelings and delete your account out of sadness and despair.
Some may be lucky enough to have a good friend to talk them out of doing so, at
least not until you gathered all of your thoughts and calmed down a bit. Others
may not think otherwise when it comes to deleting their account.

It seems they never really 'disappear' do they? Some Lush addicts may want to appear as clean-living, non-porn watching, marriage loving, reformists - but invariably that's a charade. Might as well just stay in the first place. Smiles x
