Hello and welcome to LLL!
We set up LLL when the original 'Lush Forum' got taken down in Sept 07, but we stuck around even when their new forum got back up and running. The people who set this forum up have nothing to do with 'Lush' as a company, nor represent them in any way. We were just users of their forum (of which membership was mainly made up of Lush customers who had become friends through the community)
We have a comfy, welcoming place here and we really hope you like it as much as we do. A lot of people here use both this forum and the international forum happily, there is no intentional rivalry - we are friends and nextdoor neighbours! And we love it when everyone gets on.
Unlike the IF (International forum), this board is lightly moderated and is hosted for free by Proboards. For more information about moderation and Proboards ToS please read this thread.
Our domain was kindly paid for by Tittch who is a member here and so we can be accessed through www.littlelostlushies.co.uk which is easy to remember. Our domain is now LLLforum.co.uk - we are no longer called Little Lost Lushies (as of 2012).
We have Private Messaging here (link to it is in the 'welcome' line below the top logo banner).
You can give members 'karma' by exalting them (please do not use the smite button if you see it, it's been disabled. Any sly smiters will have their karma score set back to 0!) It's mainly just for fun and it is used as a support tool - bit like 'like' on facebook.
You can choose your own signatures and avatars
You can post Polls and bookmark threads.
We have a swapping/selling section with a Swaps Feedback System.
We also have a Calendar - please post your events and birthdays in here!
The staff here are as follows:
Admins (brown Display Names)

All content on this forum should be suitable for 13yr olds (this is Proboards ToS). We also have the main profanities censored - please try not to 'cheat' the filters.

A Guide For Complete Newbies!
If you are brand new to forumming, you may find the following information useful.
I strongly recommend you read the FAQs as this will probably answer alot of your questions.
Please do not write in Text Talk (ie. ur sig is kool how u do it) because there are many members who have English as their second language and they will find it harder to read your posts, and it's harder to read in general too - but you may find and use common abbreviations - examples are as follows.
