Have any of the coupled folk considered making individual accounts? Just for easier mingling on the boards?

Some areas like the Ask a... sections are gender/sexuality specific, it's easy to see how couple accounts could lead to a lil confusion. Same with the social groups. Verifications.

Kinda wanted to piggie back on the back of Ms @Scarletbegonia's thread.. but I'm not allowed. So y'all get two threads. Don'tcha feel lucky? :)

Anywho. Welcome to LPSG. Hope this area gets hopping and folks have lots of fun.

We had separate accounts before on different sites, but since the majority of the pictures we post are of both of us together, it’s easier to manage things with one account. I (Tbubs/f) answered a question on the ask a woman thread and identified myself as the female. I guess we could potentially get away with answering questions meant for the other sex, but so could any non-verified individual who checks off a certain box when joining.

we like being here as a couple - if you would prefer that Tbubs not post in ask a woman even though she is very insightful or me not post in ask a man (this is Faust posting) then we won’t - we have clearly been identifying which of us is talking and have no idea why we not do that -- but you need to let us be who we want to be and we want to be here together

LPSG doesn't have the same history of couple accounts that SF appears to have had enjoyed. We've had couples, but they each maintained their own account.

I am trying to understand the why for a couples account. Not going to deny it, my years on LPSG keep me cautious of who I might be talking to. And couple accounts add another layer of caution in mingling.

Everyone can post where they like, what they like. How those post are received will vary greatly across the membership. Some are going to be cautious, some are going to be into the couple aspect. In the end people get what they want from the site.

If ya lady friend is as awesome as ya paint her, it would be sad to see her unique voice looked over because of an account set up. That's also an issue I got to suss out about myself. New experience. New challenges. New growth.

Where ever you end up on LPSG. Enjoy yaself. Both of ya.

Maybe you should get to know us before you judge us - maybe you will like interacting with us as a couple

Maybe. But I am seriously hardheaded. Like, to my own detriment at times. ;)

Same could be said for having an individual account. Both of you might find folks more open to getting to know ya with a bit more assumed transparency.

Either way. Civility and a healthy exchange of bad jokes can be maintained.

And since we could both see every post even if we have separate accounts - why can’t you communicate with us like this? If you want to talk to tbubs just say so - she will respond - we are currently in lock down away from each other - we like being here together because it is the only way we can currently be together

Being away from ya preferred person is never fun. In high stress situations even more so.

Okay. Legit question, in site function cuz I only log in on one device at a time. How does tbubs *hi* see what's on the screen? Can one account be logged into on two different devices? Or have y'all gone back old school, junior high old school, and read the site to each other?

My brain is getting relay race ideas :laughing:

we can log in from different devices from different places at the same time - we are often in here at the same time - sometimes we respond to each other - this is Faust btw and we are glad to meet you @MikeyLee - we are just enjoying doing this together

Tbubs here *waves*

We have been very active members of a couple sites where we did have separate accounts. There were couples on both sites that used one account (like what we have here) and there were some that each had their own account. Generally, the ones who shared an account were viewed, in my opinion, as one entity. We are ok with that. I have my own unique voice in real life. I’m happy to share Faust’s voice here.

I admit sometimes when a “couple account” posts, you’re left wondering which person it is...not sure it matters so much in the games threads, but that’s why where it does matter we have identified ourselves.

We can definitely be logged in on the same account on the forums with different devices at the same time. @Mr. LPSG can confirm that based on our IPs, I imagine.

Like Faust said, this is something we want to do together. I’m not sure we really need any reason beyond that. We have discussed verification, and if we decide to move forward with it (once life returns to normal) maybe that will help put people’s minds at ease.

Both couple replying to this thread have each mentioned their partner seeing everything. That is one huge sticking point for me, and probably others on the site.

There might be exchanges meant only for one half of y'alls dynamic duo. Not flirty-flirty messages, friendly back and forth more personal that the general board is appropriate for. Couples account erase a layer of assumed privacy that some, I, am uncomfortable losing.

@7nahalf - welcome to the site and thanks for joining in :)

Jealousy and fear of secrets were aspects I never factored in. Thunkful.

What Ms @Scarletbegonia said is true. Eventually rando dudes pretending to be "couples" will be a major issue. Pretty sure that is why Rob_E nixed couples in the first place all those years ago.

A few friendly couples with established history from a sister site might make this go-around smoother than the last.

Ok. We will start using “we” instead of “I” unless we specify who is talking.

What I (Tbubs) would like to know is what the difference is between me posting in the female thread (claiming to be the female portion of a couple) and a male opening an account as an unverified female here posting on that thread.

Ask Rules.. as currently phrased, Couples won't be allowed to post in Ask a... outside of Couples.

Will the rules get a once over with an influx of couple accounts and feed back from other members? Don't know. Only The Great and Powerful Mr. LPSG knows. And he's busy juggling flaming grenades keeping the site running at over capacity.

Deceptive Accounts. LPSG has had major issues with gender deception. Verification helps, but photoshop is a mother copulater, so some slip through. The Mod Squad puts in over time duty scouring faux-females *almost always fakers pretend femme* from the site.
