The Gollum

I had my first epiphany of the season here on SW.
I used to think that ViP was something that meant something. Like you got some cool perks.
Maybe you were allowed fifty percent more curse words and got to ban people every now and then.
But no.
As my friend Mr Magic explained to me
All you get is that you can check other people's profiles without them knowing you did . And you get to see who sees yours thats it.
You're like a Gollum going about checking profiles but hiding so they don't know you did.
And every time you sneak about you come back saying..my precious...

How's that not weird to anyone else!!

Edit... I have been informed that apparently there's a myriad of other perks and privileges afforded to those holding VIP status and that the creepy part even tho 100 percent use it s only about 25 percent of the perks.
And that I was out of line by saying 100 percent of vips were Gollums.
Following the math of my friend of the long posts, since 50/60 is half and By rounding up to the nearest down we've decided to only consider 50 percent of the vips as legitimate creeps.

Edit 2.

Due to new information brought up by Ms Oldersometimeswiser , the creepy perks amount to 5 out of 16 total perks.
That gives us roughly 32 percent which because 50/60!is half, we're going to say that only a third of the vips are creeps.
Thanks to Oldersometimeswiser 😊

VIP gets rid of all ads and also know if a person read your message or the date they last online.

@JenniferL Thank you 😊
Just thought I’d throw in the official list of VIP features.

And on a personal note, I don’t mind spending a few dollars to support a site that’s been very helpful and enjoyable for me since 2017.



@CurrentName To each his/her own and you’re welcome.

I could go for that or a glow of the preferred color around the avatar that only vips can see.
You also get more block spaces and stuff. A lot of people have it for that alone. But their reasons are their reasons. It increases the amount of images in the gallery, you can remove the ads or whatever other stuff etc. Bunch of other stuff

I felt bad for him. He let that thing take control of him like other things take control of us. I guess I kinda identify with him
@CurrentName That's true. I don't underestimate anyone, especially not here! I've always made a point to observe.
@CurrentName I did too. I understand the wrongness of what he did to his friend to get it, but it even had a hold over him then. As someone who experiences intense love or longing I get how he lost himself in it and before he knew it "he" was gone. I was sad for the way people treated him and how he had to live and had become. A slave to the power of a relic men war over, when to him it was just something beautiful and precious to keep for himself. I understand why Frodo took pity on him... I might have done the same.

I understand what you are saying but I don't know why people come here. This might actually be life for some.
It is to me sometimes.

I had vip to block racists and idiots.
I also had vip to stop ads
Also supporting a site that we use to generare a community.
As for visiting peoples profiles. Why cant we if we have vip. Its not illegal.
If vip doesnt affect your life. Walk on and dont look back.

@Gangstress
No it does not.
I was just curious. I get 500 blocks yeah??
I don't even think there's 500 people in this place in total.
Like I said. Just curious. Don't mean to upset anyone, but it seems VIP people feel really touchy about this for some reason.
Also.. I'm not that important, I'm just some guy talking crazy.
Gangstress · 41-45, F
@CurrentName are you upset by your own question? Or my answer

Coz im not the one going on lol
CurrentName · 51-55, M

MyNameIsHurl · 46-50, F
