Terrible site. This place condones affairs and thinks any woman with a child has a free pass to sleep with married men. Stay far away from this site if you care about your relationship.
It's a garbage site - much like citydata.com (avoid that one too). In many ways, the posters remind me of a neighborhood I lived in. Poorly educated & high welfare where people changed partners repeatedly because, to be blunt, they were all losers (drunks & addicts).
You won't get any real or useful advice from this site. They are ok with affairs & cheating for one. Anyone who takes relationship advice from someone who gives a thumbs up to affairs needs psychological help, not internet help.
I agree with Cheryl. This forum is dangerous. People think they're being helpful, but they aren't the best people to ask for advice. They can be covert bullies and will gang up on you. There are better forums online than this one. Don't count on these guys to give you intelligent conversation.
Some members are "paid members". An example could be "prepaph". A fat old lady without children who trolls every topic personally attacking men. If you debate a "paid member" you are given "points" then banned from the site from biased "monitors" like Tristan. Do not go here if you have a relationship issue. A liberal bunch of "man haters" that can attack you and are above reproach. It actually makes you despise the opposite sex if you stay here too long.
This site is one of the worst out there for anyone who has been cheated on. It's filled with people who think cheating is okay. If you want to get into an affair, it's definitely the place for you to get sympathy, but that's about almost good for these days.
I came to Loveshack seeking some solace and comfort after a tough breakup, which I received, primarily from the cadre of middle-aged women who post there regularly. I will always appreciate that. However, once I became a regular poster, it became clear that on a forum offering dating advice, certain types of advice oriented toward men were against the prevailing feminist groupthink. Any advice to be more confident and assertive with women was often met with retorts that my advice was "PUA games" etc. The idea being that men who are not confident with women should remain that way and hope a woman comes along who finds that adorable.
What eventually got me banned was my inability to get along with the SJWs who infested the political forums, with the mods fully in their corner.
I'm glad I got banned, as I was wasting a lot of time posting there. But there are some good and compassionate people there.
Moderators will ban anyone they want to, I think. No second chances or appeals. Some posters can say almost anything, but if anyone complains, that's it.
You are nobody to them, a nameless entity, so easy to delete anything. Other forums have same issues, unfriendly censoring mods. No explanation given.
Of course, no one is really banned. Your computer is banned.
The posters there are a bunch of broken, sorry $#*! losers who don't know how to give good advice. I did meet some awesome people on there, too, at the same time, though, so it's not all bad. If you need relationship advice, just go to a family member or friend if you can. People on the internet will never care as much as they do.
I was a longtime member on this site and will miss it if it's truly gone. There were a lot of fine people who posted there and I wish them all well. It was a very special spot and I'm grateful for the support, discussion, banter, love and laughter throughout the years.
To anyone who's reading this, until we meet again... take care and be good!
(((( Bye LS!))))
I posted there for 5 years, and I have a soft spot for it. It certainly had its legitimate issues, but some posters really helped me during a rough time in my life. Towards the end, I enjoyed the forums that were not related to relationships. I liked the political and religious forums and had some really good conversations with some people.
The moderation definitely had favorites. There was no doubt about that. I figured the forum would go away one day because there were only two moderators. I wonder if they didn't want the site to go bust, so they could get away from it. My big regret is not getting the emails of a few people to keep up with them.
I mostly agree with previous reviews. I first found the forum around 2007 and I enjoyed reading the many high spirited discussions. Around 2011 I had a family crisis that made me forget about the forum for a couple of years but when I did visit again I was surprised to find it dead and dry. Almost a ghost town compared to what it used to be. I quickly figured out why when I started being moderated for ridiculous reasons. I finally had my fill when I was placed on 5 days of moderation for using the word slut. Context is everything. I never called anyone that name, I was defending someone and said they were wrongfully accused of being a slut. I was shocked at how punitive the moderator was. A simple reminder would have sufficed. That site was ruined by the moderators.
I also joined LS in 2015 after the end of a bad relationship. It's weird the site is suddenly gone, I know people did pay money to be members, I wonder how that works. I understand why people who did not experience the things we did, judge us, but the site gave us a place to speak freely. It would be like shutting down AA because you did not approve of alcohol. Drinking would still go on.
That's very funny. William banned me because I told the ugly truth to someone. He sent me a very rude email, getting stuck into me after I had the audacity to point out that someone was acting like a loser because she was running around after a married guy. He completely misinterpreted my post, his comprehension skills were very limited. That's extremely funny that the site has died. I hope William reads what people have said about him here, he is a 5 star $#*!head.
I am thankful for the people that I met through Loveshack and who helped me through a difficult time. There were a lot of different opinions and strong personalities, and a lot of thoughtful posters as well. I didn't experience any issues with the mods like other posters. It's unfortunate that the site has disappeared without any warning. I would have loved to say some personal thank yous!
Miss loveshack.org. Was on it 8 years. Became too busy with becoming a podiatrist to post any more, nor did I need loveshack anymore for my 3 year relationship which is still going strong. I did however just love reading about other situations, I learnt so much, I learnt such key fundamental dating tools that lead me to meeting the right guy in the end. It really reinforced good dating standards.
Just wanted to say goodbye.

Easy to navigate and some interesting discussion, but lacks a strong sense of community. Engagement between members is quite impersonal and the site lacks personality and sparkle as a result. Moderators meddle unnecessarily in discussions and the moderation tone is robotic and alienating. Generally a cold, impersonal forum despite the touchy feely pink 'n' hearts format.
Yes there were nasty comments and bad advice. Yes the mods got heavy handed - I often did not know why I get suspended for a day or two. However for me it was a place to vent toxic feelings (no advice needed), and also more importantly to open my eyes to other views, relationship styles and lifestyle choices. I learned alot. Of course nothing ever really goes away on the internet does it? (wink)

I was quite a regular member at Loveshack and enjoyed reading and contributing to the forum. Have only just noticed however that the domain is no more, so I'm assuming either the actual owner or William or Robert had taken it down. Shame... seemed abit random as there were plenty of active users and I don't even think a few reviews on corrupt staff tarnished the reputation of the forum at all.
Ah, so many people's sagas--I'm already forgetting the names. There was a lot of wisdom on that site, and it probably helped curtail some of my foolishness. Don't know much about moderation, but I loved Carhill's posts... I took a star off because it is kind of nice to have a clearer head... I was addicted, like one gets to soap operas.
I made some massive blunders in my life and came upon the site where others had shared their experiences. I won't say all posts were helpful but they definitely helped me think straight taking all the perspectives shared in the thread. Now that I am somewhat at a better place, it makes me sad that the site is gone. Definitely got the help and support I needed the most at that point of my life.
