Mods on this site block, erase, and manipulate threads to protect members from hearing the truth to protect their feelings. Almost every man and woman on the site believes they are a 10 and deserve a 10 particularly the women. The advise to each other is to acquire the top 10% of men and don't settle for less giving false hope to many of these young ladies. The OM/OW is mostly filled with arrogant wives chasing their bosses or some doctor and warned how it will blow up in their face and 99% of the time it does. The infidelity thread is filled with men with the latest spy gear and phone tracker to bust their wives.

The worse part is the female nazis that spend all day calling the mods to erase your post or get you banned because they think the world a soft and cuddly place and get offended by reality.

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.

The good and the bad
February 10, 2018

For those defending this forum-loveshack.org may be only good for a middle-aged white-American heterosexual, who is divorced or has had a string of failed relationships. This forum isnt up to date for millennials, people of color, lgbtq people, single people, professionals, or people who are trying to be more successful. How many people in healthy and happy relationships post on loveshack.org? Not very many. I did post on loveshack during my 20s briefly, but the older posters (who were divorced and cheated on their spouses) ended up being wrong about a number of things. I wouldnt suggest this forum to 20-somethings and 30-somethings looking for good feedback. You have to be a certain type of person to fit in the loveshack environment.

It has been a few years since I last posted on that forum. Now that I am in a healthier place, the forum looks toxic. The real world isnt like loveshack.org.

For those who enjoy the forum and have been on there for a decade, I have noticed that those same posters dont have much of support system in their lives (they have personally admitted it). If you have a good support system as it is, the forum doesnt have much value.

I think Michael O has it spot on, though I'd say his one star rating is a bit unfair. William, the head moderator, is also the prolific poster known as Carhill. A character who likes to present himself as an expert on various matters, his ego is indeed an extremely fragile item.

However, he is a diligent moderator who has gathered a band of other moderators together to ensure that spams, obvious trolls and any hint of drama are deleted without delay. Credit to him for that. Nobody can accuse him of not being a stickler for the rules, but the site is a dull and humorless thing compared to what it once was.

Three stars, because it's really not a bad site - but back in the day before William or Carhill took over, it was a five star site with a really good line up of regular posters. Loveshack is the internet forum equivalent of a once great sitcom that has jumped the shark.

Has potential

Good group of members, often willing to help out and offer detailed suggestions. Unfortunately, the moderator (who will not give his full name, only "William") is think-skinned, vindictive, and prone to ban anyone who disagrees with him, making the site pretty much useless.

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.

The blind leading the blind is an understatement. One can only hope that 99% of the posters are trolls.

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.
